Variants and Design
The Atlantic Yachts 40 is a versatile yacht offering three different models: Singlehanded, Coastal, and North. Each model is meticulously designed to meet various needs on the water, providing adaptability for different kinds of adventures. The yacht was crafted by the experienced designers Dick Zaal and Søren Knittel, ensuring that it harmoniously blends aesthetics with performance. Structurally, the yacht can accommodate diverse water conditions, with a draught range from 0.90m to 2.40m, which allows for both shallow and deep-water navigation.
The hull of the Atlantic 40 is primarily made of durable aluminum, a material choice that speaks to both its strength and relatively lower maintenance needs. The standard build includes fixed lead keels for certain variants like the Singlehanded and North, while the Coastal model features an electric/hydraulic keel lift system made of stainless steel, offering adjustable depth for varying sailing environments. The helm offers different systems tailored to each model: a helm rod is standard on the Singlehanded version, while the Coastal and Offshore variants have a Jefa system with a Tandem spoke aluminum steering wheel.
Comfort and Functionality
Comfort and functionality are central to the Atlantic Yachts 40 experience. The yacht is equipped with a double stainless steel sink and a mixer tap, alongside a stainless steel 3-burner cooker complete with an oven, making meal preparation at sea as convenient as at home. For personal comfort, the yacht boasts a Lavac vacuum toilet with a Hendersen pump, ensuring both ease of use and hygiene. In the event of inclement weather, a dryer for wet clothes provides convenience, safeguarding against moisture and discomfort. The discharge system for the black water tank is thoughtfully designed, with options for deck suction in the cockpit rim or direct overboard release.
Performance Features
Performance is a hallmark of the Atlantic Yachts 40, powered by a reliable Yanmar 3JH4-CE 38 hp engine. This ensures both power and reliability on the open water. Navigation is enhanced with comprehensive Raymarine instruments, providing essential readings on depth, speed, and wind conditions to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey. The yacht’s total sail surface is approximately 4,721 square feet, constructed from 9.5 oz dacron with both crosscut and fanned cuts, making it suitable for various sailing demands. The mainsail and jib are equipped with Furlex reefing systems for easy control and adaptability, accompanied by robust stainless steel rigging.
Rigging and Equipment
The Atlantic Yachts 40 is outfitted with a Selden aluminum mast and boom, incorporating a mainsail featuring battens and a triple reefing system. Both the mainsail and the jib use durable dacron material, providing strength and resilience in different marine environments. The rigging includes comprehensive systems from top brands like Ronstan and Spinlock, featuring multiple winches for efficient sail handling, and secure fall guides to ensure safety and ease of operation.
Additionally, deck equipment is thoughtfully selected to enhance functionality. This includes Andersen winches along the cockpit edge, Ronstan nuarails, and Goiot aluminum frogs for added structural security. The yacht is also equipped with a Rocna anchor, essential for stability and safety when moored.
Interior Features
Inside the Atlantic Yachts 40, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space that maximizes both comfort and functionality. The well-planned interior space includes provisions for 19 light points powered by a 12-volt system, allowing for adequate illumination during nighttime voyages. This focus on detail ensures a pleasant onboard environment, whether entertaining guests or enjoying quiet time at sea.
The yacht provides a black water tank for responsible waste management, offering options for either deck suction or direct sea discharge. The flexible compartments cater to varying journey requirements, offering sufficient storage and accommodation possibilities.
Navigation and Safety
Navigational safety is prioritized with comprehensive lighting that includes a 3-colour toplight, steamlight/decklight, and pulpit lights. These features are vital for sea safety, ensuring visibility in all conditions. The yacht’s Raymarine navigation instruments are standard equipment, providing depth gauge, speedometer, and wind gauge capabilities, which are crucial for precise navigation and route planning. For increased safety, a Henderson bilge pump is operable from the cockpit to ensure water drainage is quick and efficient in emergencies.
Materials and Construction
The choice of aluminum as the primary construction material for the hull underscores a commitment to strength and longevity. This choice not only ensures the yacht’s resilience against the saltwater environment but also simplifies maintenance procedures. Sleek, low-profile Lewmar hatches and rogue-resistant Goiot deck features provide both style and practicality, contributing to the yacht’s overall performance and efficiency.
