Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The J40, a 40-foot performance cruiser, prioritizes sailing characteristics over interior volume.0:40 During sea trials off Palma de Mallorca in October, the vessel maintained speeds of 6 to 7 knots while beating in varying wind conditions.1:03 The design features a lower freeboard and narrower beam than many modern cruisers, offering handling qualities reminiscent of boats from 15 years ago.1:08 The deck layout includes a carbon mast and high-quality Harken hardware, contributing to balanced steering and responsive performance.2:18 While the interior offers less volume than contemporary wide-beam cruisers, it includes a functional galley and well-ventilated aft cabins, though the head is compact and lacks a dedicated shower stall.1:58 The boat performs well under a large gennaker and maintains stability even when loaded for cruising.3:14 Base pricing starts at 350,000 euros, with the tested configuration—including a carbon mast and upgraded equipment—priced between 450,000 and 470,000 euros.3:38 The J40 earned the European Yacht of the Year award in Düsseldorf.0:35
