Luxurious deck salon yacht built by the French quality shipyard Waiquiez International (design: Berret/Racoupeau). The Pilot Saloon 40 has a bright, cozy cabin with elevated saloon offering 360 degree panoramic views from dinette. Although called Pilot Saloon 40, it's actually a Deck Salon style, 41.6 foot yacht that is a well made, strong, performance cruiser. These are close winded, good sailing boats - the base PHRF rating of 108 means few true cruisers will keep up. This particular model is the highly desirable (difficult to find) Solent (twin headstay) rig... a Swiss army knife rig allowing you to switch gears from genoa to a 100% self-tacking (Solent) blade as conditions/wind angle change. The full-batten/triple reef main is both reliable, durable and adds some roach sail area. With its MackPack zippered bag and electric cabin top winch, you can be sailing in minutes. This is an incredibly comfortable, capable cruiser that boasts a Burma-teak interior, aft master cabin centerline double, en-suite head/shower stall. Very well designed custom bimini with integrated arch not only includes strong dinghy davits and a full canvas enclosure, but also serves as a sleek mount for 3 solar panels that will run refrigeration, lights and other equipment on the hook/mooring. Hinged swim platform is the boats "party trick" that receives positive comments from all who see it (also includes scuba dive ladder) and eases dinghy entry/exit. With it's large, comfortable, bright cabin, the PS 40 definitely doesn't have the traditional "cave" feeling, making a rainy cruise or long term liveaboard... more liveable. Bestevaer is ready to go and will reward it's new owners with comfortable, fast passage making.
