This Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40 was refitted for a world cruise. A change in circumstances now gives someone the opportunity to purchase a ready to cruise anywhere yacht. The refit included the removal of the original teak deck and laminate core. The deck was then re-cored and laminated as new but without the 1000+ screw holes and in closed cell foam not balsa. This was then decked with Flexiteek in 2019. The interior accommodation is huge with two en-suite cabins fore and aft. The Wauquiez PS40 is a true deck saloon rather than a traditional layout with big windows, offering great views from the raised seating area no matter the weather!
Currently berthed in Tenerife but with full UK TAX paid (it only left the UK in July 2022) The boat comes with recent rigging and sails, Nav instruments, watermaker, bowthruster, 650wsolar panels and a 25kg Rocna on 60m chain. A dinghy and outboard are also included.
We are looking to sell this where it is. It is not EU tax paid but is UK Tax paid so can return without importing.
Accommodation-
Cockpit and deck:
A large cockpit, great for entertaining and lounging with fitted cushions for the bench seats. A full size bimini which meets the spray hood provides all important shelter from the elements. Whilst at sea, there are plenty of hand holds and foot bracing points and safety harness securing points. A rail mounted liferaft cradle and other lifesaving aids are easily and safely deployable, this is a safe, comfortable and well laid out cockpit.
The drop down bathing Platform makes entering and leaving the water easy. It is also offers particularly safe and easy access to the dinghy and mounting engine. A shower is provided and the solar arch provides a means of hanging a solar shower. There is a useful storage area for dinghy and swimming accessories.
Saloon area:
The cabin seating is covered in Alcantara fabric which is extremely hard wearing. There is plenty of convenient storage behind and under the seating area. A large dining table occupies the C shaped seating on raised saloon floor.
A linear galley finished with Corian worktops has an ENO cooker with hob and oven, twin stainless steel sinks with covers, hot, cold and filtered water. An front opening air cooled dometic fridge with icebox and a top loading coolbox which has been converted to a freezer with keel cooled system. The latter has a thermostat which can also be used as a fridge – perfect for bottles and cans when freezing isn’t the main priority.
A generous navigation station with a full suit of instruments including the chartplotter.
Cabins:
Aft owners cabin with full width volume and private en-suite with shower.
Forward double cabin also with private en-suite and shower.
