Admirals Cup pedigree - carbon fibre/kevlar composite racing yacht.
A rare opportunity to own a Davidson 40 (America's Cup fame) originally built to compete at the highest level of offshore racing, including the prestigious Admirals Cup.
This exceptional performance yacht features advanced composite construction combining carbon fibre, kevlar and epoxy with a Nomex epoxy infused core. Designed for strength, stiffness and competitive offshore performance, she represents serious yacht building pedigree.
She has a 60 foot keel stepped mast with triple swept back spreaders with the top 2 to 3 metres tapered to provide flexibility and optimise performance.
Owned by the current owner for 16 years, this yacht has enjoyed an extensive racing history, competing mainly in offshore races with many Adelaide Lincoln races under her keel. She has placed well in many of these, won the coveted Lincoln Regatta and won the original Tri Series with 54 yachts competing. The new owner will own a yacht with a genuine competitive heritage.
Whether you are looking for a serious offshore racing yacht, a competitive club racer or a performance cruiser this yacht has an impressive pedigree and deserves your attention.
Of recent times the present owner has suffered ill health, culminating in a Liver transplant. This meant Blue Max could not receive the love she deserves. As such she would respond well to a new owner that is willing to bring her back to her former beauty. She has been priced accordingly and is open to any sensible offers.
Inspections are welcome
