Overview and Basic Specifications

The Clipper 40 is a heavily built, hand laid flybridge cruiser, with a solid fibreglass semi-displacement hull, featuring a full keel and hard chines. This gives good roll resistance and sturdy performance in rough conditions. The keel runs the full length of the hull, extending almost to the transom. The rudder attaches to the shoe of the keel at the stern, with the prop directly forward of the rudder. This design provides excellent propeller protection.

This is a reliable, trawler style performer, with safe, walk around side decks, easy access to the bow and anchor through a side door at the lower helm, a large flybridge deck featuring an upper helm station, ample seating and wet bar facilities.

The two cabin, single bathroom layout includes “galley up” on the main saloon level, adjacent to the lower helm and forward of the comfortable dining area.

This is a reliable, safe, economical, sea worthy vessel and would suit a couple or a family of four, with plenty of room for friends/guests to join if so desired.

This vessel is in good condition for her age and has recently been freshly antifouled with prop-speed on the prop, shaft, bracket and rudder. New fridges have been fitted to the galley and flybridge, as well as a new 4 burner Omega ceramic cooktop. Whilst out for antifouling, hull and topsides were polished and the teak capping rail was freshly oiled. In addition, her owner has had a new engine turbo fitted, along with a new exhaust hose, through to the aft engine room bulkhead,

She is fitted with upgraded Ray Marine electronics, including Auto Pilot, 2 x Raymarine Axium GPS Plotters and Fish Finders. 

With these recent upgrades and maintenance items attended to, this beauty is ready to go cruising.
