Presles 40 Year 2002
A very nice expedition sailing boat built by Fulmagali shipyard on Didier Presles design. The shipyard is specialized in rounded aluminium hulls. This boat is unique. She has been designed for her owner for arctic and antarctic journeys. Robust construction, quality isolation, interior conning station, waterproof doors, hydraulic ahead and aft thrusters, superpower engine: all is there to face any weather condition. She is also very cosy and comfortable with a bright deck saloon / galley area that leads to a large cockpit through sliding windows.
Owner's words
The first owner worked for 10 years on the concept and the follow-up of this boat. He had the best material and equipment installed. Health issues stopped his project. Everything on FJORD is overdesigned however she remains reactive, pleasant to sail and efficient. As I am getting old too, I wish to hand her over to whom will take her far away...
