40 foot offshore yacht with shower cubicle

[nosssailor]

Any thoughts on a good cruising yacht that falls under the following criteria:

I am limited to 40 foot for an offshore cruiser due to my mooring
Good sailing performance (no long keels or steel yachts please)
Seperate shower cubicle in the heads.
Safe in a storm
6 berths min

For a true, proven, Blue Water boat, Pacific Seacraft 40. Certainly meets the criteria.

Price would be in the USD 200k area,

soooooooooooooooooooo many boats, soooooooooooooooooooo little time to explain each of them

How can someone ask such a question without any ideas of boats that meet the "requirements"? In fact if your have enough experience sailing to even ask the question why would you?

I have no suggestions for boats for you as they don't exist in the CF world except as a toll.

Don

you're right . It is a question with many answers. That's why the answers will be very short, like mine.

for a gogd answer, the OP would need to indicate price, just how off-shore is he going, how experienced is he, what type of equipment will he want on it yadayadayada.

Way to vague a question. Sometimes I wonder what inspires these questions?

If you count laying on the floor in different places as berths. The OP needed 6 of them.

Many catamarans fit the OP's description perfectly. But I have a feeling he was only considering monohulls.

So fair challenge but I think the key here is a
1 - offshore cruising (Atlantic circuit capable)
2 - has a separate shower in the heads that has a door between the shower and the toilet

There are not many boats, my ideal boat would be an Allures 45 but it's too long so I would reduce to an Allures 39.9 but that is a little expensive

As for for last question re me.... 30 years sailing with 15 years offshore experience.

On Cruising area, it would be :
Med
Caribbean
East coast US
Northern Europe

I am very open to cats and have sailed them a lot, (currently racing a 28 ft tri.
Not sure which ones are good at 40ft, I love outremer 42 And old 45 but a bit long, also Dazcat 1195 but maybe a bit pricey
