CABO HORN 40

This modern design is a good choice for any one who wants to live aboard or to sail long distances.
The Cape Horn 40 is a very strong boat thanks to her cold molded wooden construction reinforced by 22 laminated frames and an impressive keel backbone. But despite so much strenght, the wood-epoxy construction allows for a long lasting moderately light hull.
Nothing matches wood in appearance and this boat gives all the opportunities for a superb joiner work and the cosy inside lay-out bring a great sensation of comfort and elegance.
We provided the Cape Horn 40 with three separate cabins and two bathrooms, one of them, at the aft owners cabin, en suite. Doing so, five persons sleep in comfort and privacy and when required two more may sleep in the main saloon. Behind the dinette area an U shaped galley gives excellent protection for the cook when sailing in bad weather. To starboard, a large navigation station with an optional inside steering wheel gives the opportunity to provide the most efficient installation for all the electronic gear desirable. A cabin trunk with a doghouse with plenty of windows allows for inside steering, a virtue seldom found in cruising yachts of this size. The shallow trunk in front of the dog-house gives adequate head-room in the front cabins and at the same time improves safety when going forward in bad weather, thanks to the firm support for the foot in any angle of heel.
With a sloop rig, a good sized balanced helm, and a relatively shallow draught bulbous keel, the Cape Horn 40 is a great performer in all conditions of sailing, concerning speed, steering control and seaworthiness.
For this size of boat there are few others that can compare with the Cape Horn 40, and for most of their owners, being them novices or old salts, this is the boat of their lives.
