Sunsail F40

Developed from the Beneteau First 40 and drawn by Farr Yacht Design, the Sunsail F40 is a thoroughbred racer/cruiser, adaptable for both, to suit the sailors and crew needs. A proven performer, the F40 has been designed and developed from the Beneteau First 40, which took first and second overall in the IRC Division of the 2009 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race. In the same year it was awarded Crossover Boat of the Year by Sailing World Magazine.
