The Scanmar 40 is a stylish and beautifully finished 40-footer that's a fine example of a stable and stiff performance cruiser built in Scandinavia.
She will be responsive and a joy to sail while making life easy for the helmsman; she isn't one of those boats that behaves herself if you concentrate and punishes you the moment you let your attention wander. Wheel steering, large self-tailing primary winches, an electric halyard winch and a furling headsail make for easy sailing.
Additional features on deck include a high bridge deck, hand holds around the companionway, an array of vents, coaming lockers in the cockpit and so on. These are rarely seen on modern yachts today.
Then, when you go below, you find yourself surrounded by beautifully finished joinery with lots of solid mahogany. Seldom do you find anything better on new boats, even from the most exclusive yards. She has a generously proportioned double aft cabin and a good-sized galley with a special cold-water supply from her fridge and freezer. The main saloon also has a chart table and a large dining table. Up forward is the toilet, shower to port and double bunk in the bow.
Technical specs include Raymarine GPS, VHF, EPIRB, Solar Panels and wind Generator. For anchoring, she has a Lewmar windlass with remote and 2 anchors. Her engine is a 45hp Volvo Penta with a shaft-driven propeller.
