40′ Classic Sporty Weekender

A smaller development of our Mystic proposal offers classic looks, high performance, and just the right amount of interior

This outline development of a smaller weekending version of our 60′ Mystic proposal was prepared for Simon Patterson at Patterson Boatworks, a bespoke yard in Cumbria, combining traditional skills and modern technologies. Simon felt that a light, sporty 40′ design with slightly more accommodation than a daysailer would match the desires of clients and the aspirations of his yard.

 

The basics are a light easily driven hull, allowing a sail plan that can produce great performance but still be easy to control shorthanded. The deep fin produces low cg for stability, and excellent pace both upwind and down across a range of wind speeds. Possible arrangements have been suggested in the deck plan but this dream is waiting for the right client to decide the details.
