"Shay M Less" is a 1997 Legacy Yacht 40' with a proven hull and classic Down East look that sips fuel at cruise. The 40' Legacy rides like a traditional lobster yacht hull with round bilges and a full keel.
For the discerning cruiser who cares about quality and seakeeping ability, this is a must-see and should be on your short list. Lovingly owned and maintained, it boasts a beautiful painted hull along with all of the seagoing equipment you'd want for safe cruising and enjoyment on the water. One of the most capable hulls built, she can handle the rough weather with confidence and provide a comfortable and confident ride when the seas turn unexpectedly "sporty". Wide side-decks and an oversized cockpit allow all options for getting out on the water with your guests with safety. A airy and open salon offers great natural light and a large settee for dining or relaxing. The single stateroom feels much larger than typically found on a 40 footer. This owner even added a full shower stall for true cruising comfort on those longer voyages. A perfect "looper" or weekend getaway, this Legacy 40 surely needs to be seen in person. Contact us today in order to schedule your private viewing.
