La Aventura is Jimmy Cornells 2nd yacht. Designed by Bill Dixon
This well engineered yacht has the style and practicality few other boats of this size offer.
La Aventura offers a sailing experience with minimal physical effort and high standard of living accommodation. Designed in such a way to make the owners life easier and the on-board experience more pleasurable making long distance cruising enjoyable and achievable.
The
boat is clearly aimed at couples with occasional guests who are looking for comfort and space in a 40th foot yacht. Due to her solid
steel construction this yacht would be an excellent choice for an exploration yacht.
She is fully equipped for world cruising- ready to go anywhere. She is Bomb-proof. Remarkably good up
wind, amazing in big seas. Really well designed as a
blue water cruiser. Possibly a bit heavy by today's standards, but that just means she is smoother in a heavy sea.
La Aventura has been continuously invested in, kept up-to-date, well maintained and looked after throughout the 23 years with the
current ownership.
