Passport 40

1989 Passport 40
Lying : North Haven SA

Extremely clean and well maintained classic GRP cruising yacht.
Huge amounts of equipment and rigged for short handed cruising.

"The Passport 40 was launched in 1980 and remained in production through 1991, with 148 boats built. Many have cruised extensively and all are still sailing. In some way, the Passport 40 and other similar vintage Perry designed cruisers trace their roots, or at least their basic underwater hull shapes, to the Valiant 40. Although not a double-ender like the Valiant, the Passport 40 was considered a performance cruiser in its day. Although it is heavy by today's standards, it remains a nimble, easily handled boat that performs well in the trade winds for which it was designed. Perry's combination of a traditional style deck with a modified fin and skeg underbody produced a very successful formula for cruising boats. "
