That's a nice boat, but i was honestly expecting more room on the interior when you said that it was a 40. Seems like the layout wasted a large amount of space aft and the entryway definitely seemed awkward. I would be curious to know more about the cascover, as regards maintenance procedures -- do you just sand down the bottom paint as you would with a fiberglass hull and then reapply your anti-fouling? As it is a wooden core, I would be scared to death to damage that coating and let shipworms get into the wood!!! I agree with your statement that the "wood boat would make me anxious." Great episode as usual!!!
Thanks! Yes, I am learning about that cascover, too. It appears to be very rugged. I think part of the reason why she seemed so small down below was the fading/tapering coach roof in the bow. Felt a little tight up beyond the head. But the main living area felt ample, but you're right, for a 40-footer, not a ton of room. I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish below. Nice boat!
I want her. Why in the heck don't I live in the US/Canada where something like this can be found, opposed to Australia where I've not seen anything like this for near this good a price.
These are the boats that attract people into buying one.. people aren't looking for your everyday tub of plastic or fiberglass that was built to be a throw away.. you would have many more subscribers and views if you went around to yards and brokers etc searching for sailboats that are special and unique yet not expensive

A lot of boat for the money. You definitely get British design vibes. Thanks for sharing
Nice find. That's a LOT of boat for the price.
Agreed!

That looks like a freezer box that the engine sits in !

Agreed. That’s what we’ve been doing and we have some great boats coming up.
Is that reflection on the side of the boat, or does it have bubbling of the paint ?
100% no bubbling in the paint... Hull is in great shape.
Cool but but it appears to be a bit cramped . Not my style. Though that keel has lasted , Im not a fan of the bolt on
I have an encapsulated keel, so I hear you. Didn't look like this one would ever fall off, though!
What is the headroom ?
Over 6' down the center. I am 6'1".
Yes
Good design for aluminum boat. Wood not so much.
It's been going strong for 30 years, but I hear you!
