Designed by Bill Crealock, the Pacific Seacraft 40 was built to be the ultimate long distance cruiser. Her cutter rig and canoe stern combine for an extremely well balanced and sea kindly yacht which is easy to handle.
Pacific Seacraft are well known for their build quality and 'Avocette' does not disappoint. From substantial, through bolted deck fittings to well built cabinetry she certainly has a solid feel throughout.
Maintained and cared for by a knowledgeable sailor, her recent upgrades include but are not limited to, a full rig, boom, kicker and helm pedestal repaint with new standing rigging. The hull has benefitted from a re epoxy and copper coat and a new bow thruster give her much needed maneuverability in close quarters.
