Broker's Comments

One of the very best blue water, long distance yachts I've seen. Truely, a rare opportunity. This is without doubt a hugely capable, long distance, live aboard cruising yacht. When I photographed her, she had just returned from the Azores - and looked superb !

These Saga 40s are quite rare but if you look, you will find a few scattered around the world. If you are in the market to buy a Saga 40, then you may wish to go and view the others or you could just short circuit the whole process and buy this one as its doubtful that you'll be able to find a better appointed and cared for version elsewhere. A real credit to her owner.

The current owner has recently coded this yacht to MCA Class 2.

All in all, this is a very desirable ocean going ketch.

Currently lying in Falmouth.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

I have a very detailed inventory and owner's comments on this Saga 40 which I would be happy to email. More information than we can list here.
