NISSEN OPEN 40 CROISIERE Year 1997
This nice design by Georg Nissen, double rudder, inspired by class 40 was in water in 1997 for the first time. Well build in red cedar strip planking + epoxy + kevlar under water, foam epoxy deck renforced carbon. She's strong, fast by sailing, light but comfortable for cruising with 2 double cabins, a salloon, a lateral bed and a nice cooking place. You will enjoy her simplicity of use, sail and maintenance. To discover if you like fast cruising boats without flashy.
Owner's words
I wanted a strong fast boat like class 40 for cruising with my family. Professional Skipper, I used my Open 40 each summer with familly and friends and my boat was onshore each winter and also during 8 years while I was working in Pacific Islands. I choose the best for my boat and usually maintained her in good condition. You will enjoy to start a new trip on board with confidence.
