Salar 40 Pilothouse - SV "Tardis V"

The Laurent Giles-designed Salar 40 with its high prow and heavy construction is a well-proven blue-water cruiser. These vessels with their substantial sail plan, their fine entry and their long keel, track beautifully and perform well under sail. Reefing lines, halyards and sheets all lead back to the pilothouse/cockpit allowing the vessel to be sailed efficiently and safely short-handed. The Salar 40 is a true sailing yacht (not a motor sailer) and outstanding in a seaway. This vessel is comprehensively equipped in terms of electronics, electrics and general equipment including a Highfield RIB dinghy (on davits) and outboard motor. The original marketing slogan describing the Salar 40 as, "An Around the World Yacht" wasn't just hot air. The Salar 40s are still sought after for their comfort, seaworthiness and sailing qualities. "Tardis V", with thousands of sea miles under her keel is a fine example of these well-proven yachts. Her current owners have enjoyed some fantastic blue water cruising over the past 11 years or so. Below the deck, the teak cabinetry is to the highest standard giving the accommodations a cosy ambience. An ever-reliable 80-hp Ford Bowman delivers auxiliary power efficiently and economically. With the accommodations configuration... Centre cockpit/pilothouse, aft cabin, spacious saloon and forward sleeping quarters/bathroom the Salar 40 is a viable and comfortable liveaboard.

"Tardis V" has benefited from a solid programme of ongoing maintenance including annual haulouts for maintenance of the bottom and topsides, and engine maintenance. In all respects, this vessel is maintained in a reliable and sea-worthy condition.
