Discover the Perfect Blend of Performance & Comfort -- Archambault A40 for Sale

Imagine a yacht that sails like a race boat -- responsive, lively, and thrilling -- yet comforts you like a cruising home. That's exactly what the Archambault A40 delivers.

Performance that Excites: Designed by the esteemed naval architects Joubert Nivelt Design, the A40 is a proven cruiser-racer that "really, really is like a big dinghy" -- agile, direct on the helm and effortless to handle.

Balanced Design -- Race or Cruise: Whether you're chasing wind and waves or enjoying relaxed coastal cruising, this yacht does it all. With a fractional sloop rig, fixed fin keel and a modest draft, the A40 delivers impressive up-wind performance while remaining manageable and comfortable under sail.

Room for Crew & Guests: The boat comfortably accommodates up to eight people -- with a forward V-berth, two aft cabins and saloon-berths -- making it ideal for weekend escapes, longer cruising adventures or social day-sails.

Practical & Comfortable Below Deck: The interior is well-thought-out: a central galley, marine toilet with shower, ample storage and comfortable saloon -- all the creature-comforts you'd expect for cruising or overnight stays.


A Yacht with Legacy and Versatility: Although no longer in production, the A40 remains a standout in the 40-foot cruiser-racer class. It's respected by sailors who know boats -- whether they want racing thrills, coastal cruising or weekend getaways.

Why This A40 is a Great Buy -- Right Here, Right Now

Solid build and well-regarded design -- ideal mix for both experienced sailors and those stepping up from smaller boats.

Ready for action -- race weekend, coastal cruise or family outing -- with flexibility to suit whatever your sailing lifestyle demands.

If you're after a versatile yacht that offers performance, comfort and timeless quality -- the A40 ticks every box. Get in touch for more details, photos or to arrange a viewing.
