BENETEAU 40.7
Facilities aboard our bareboat yacht charter fleet: All our yachts are fully equipped for your day on the harbour, complete with an oven, icebox, cutlery and crockery in the galley, a private bathroom with hot water, and a CD stereo and iPod jack. All yachts also have a full safety inventory of lifejackets, life rings and fire safety material, as well as galley gear, a fridge and cooking facilities. On request we can supply an awning and a rowing dinghy, linen is available for $25pp. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks or we can arrange these for you. We have a mooring in Taylors Bay that you can book for lunch time swimming or for overnight charters.The Beneteau First 40.7 has also seen success on the race course in its first season. I’m sure that both X-Yachts’ and Beneteau’s European race successes have something to do with having near-professional (or “factory”) race crews on board. But that’s to be expected with competition being what it is today. Regardless, this is a fast boat and that’s what we have come to expect from Bruce Farr.
The hull shape of the Beneteau 40.7 is designed by Bruce Farr and features a moderate all rounder style racer cruiser hull shape. The deck has been tooled so it can be fine-tuned for either racing or cruising. The interior has berths for three couples (or three men) to sleep in real comfort. The single head can be accessed either from the saloon or the forward stateroom. The nav station is spacious, and galley small but fine for short trips on the harbour. The styling of the joinerwork is clean and the furniture is high-quality. Beneteau has always excelled in this area. The molded headliner is styled in accentuated panels that provide a contrasting high-tech look to the curvy joiner detailing. While the detailing is far from traditional, I find the overall look and feel to be similar to traditional themes and very easy on the eyes.
