Popular Cruising Yachts 40 to 45 feet Long Overall Their Physical Properties & Key Performance Indicators

Welcome to this ever-growing gallery of some of the most popular cruising yachts between 40 and 45 feet (12.2m to 13.7m) long overall. But it's more than just a gallery - every image is a link to a page setting out the boat's physical properties, key performance indicators and other data.

Cruising Yachts featured on this page...



































































































With plenty of room for a cruising couple to live aboard comfortably, production cruising boats within this size range are understandably very popular with long distance sailors.

However, marina charges worldwide seem to take a bit of a hike at 12m, so be warned...

If you'd like to submit a suitable image of a cruising yacht (yours perhaps?), please click here to send your pic. It doesn't have to be within this boat length category; if it isn't we'll move it to the appropriate one.

Specifications

Following in the wake of her elder sister the Oceanis 51.1, this 40-foot cruiser, with  a new hull design by Marc Lombard , offers unrivalled  deck volume and interior space , an there are no concessions to performance. The 12-metre long Oceanis 40.1 is  available in different layouts, draughts and rigs , adapting to the most demanding sailor’s cruising requirements and satisfying their need for comfort and pleasure under sail.

How can you enjoy life at anchor as much as sailing? With the innovative flared hull design of the Oceanis 40.1, and steps extending over a third of the bow, BENETEAU has broken new ground but made no concessions. The result is a hull that has true speed potential and is stiff under sail. Above the waterline, her deck plan and ultra-spacious interior by  Nauta Design  is unheard of on a boat this size. You cannot help feeling that you are aboard a 45 foot cruiser!

Interior Design

With a  walnut or light oak ambiance , the styling of the interior by Italian designers Nauta, is remarkably bright and excels in the skilful arrangement of the living spaces. She is available with two, three or four cabins and a  C-shaped galley  on the starboard, offering lots of storage and a spacious worktop. On the port side, there is a large saloon with a table and a removable bench, and a chart table at the foot of the companionway provides ample working space. Everything is modular, so that everyone can live the way they want and enjoy sailing wherever the wind takes them.

12 METRES OF SPACE!

The philosophy of the Oceanis 40.1 is to make sailing and mooring really pleasurable. The strengths of this cruiser, studied in detail by the architect Marc Lombard and the BENETEAU design office, are unrivalled space inside, a huge deck plan and the ability to clock up miles when you are cruising.

sailing yacht 40 ft

LIFE AT ANCHOR

The ergonomics and easy movement in the cockpit make life on board so simple. Nothing interferes with the joy of life at anchor. Feel like splashing around the boat in an idyllic creek? The transom easily converts to an extensive swim platform, similar in size to the ones you find on the largest Oceanis cruising yachts. Having access to the sea is an integral part of life on a sailing yacht, and this one is a model of its kind. 

FOR SAILORS SEEKING EXCITEMENT UNDER SAIL…

As there is no one way to sail, and because everyone takes their cruising at their own pace, the Oceanis 40.1 comes in several versions. Sailors keen on performance can choose the First Line version, with a longer mast and a greater draught. The in-mast furling system and self-tacking jib will make manoeuvring easier shorthanded. A classic mast for a semi full batten mainsail is also available.

HEAVENS ABOVE, SO MUCH SPACE!

The hatches and the many hull and coachroof portholes, two of which look towards the cockpit, fill the boat with natural light and ventilation, making her exceptionally bright. You really feel like you are entering a much bigger boat! The Oceanis 40.1 comes in 4 different versions with two, three, and four cabins to fit everyone’s idea of a holiday on board. Couples and large families will feel like they are at home! The owner version has a suite with ensuite shower and head, and a bed easily accessed from either side. The four-cabin version has two forward spaces with bunk beds.

The mobile application, Seanapps , and its onboard unit lets you view the status of the boat's various systems (battery charge, fuel or water tank levels, maintenance scheduling) via your smartphone, as well as planning your route or reviewing your sailing status using your mobile phone.

5 best small sailboats for sailing around the world

By Author Fiona McGlynn

Posted on Last updated: April 19, 2023

sailing around the world

A small sailboat can take you big places

Small sailboats are the ticket to going cruising NOW — not when you retire, save up enough money, or find the “perfect” bluewater cruising boat. In fact, it’s the first principle in Lin and Larry Pardey’s cruising philosophy: “Go small, go simple, go now.”

Small yachts can be affordable, simple, and seaworthy . However, you won’t see many of them in today’s cruising grounds. In three years and 13,000 nautical miles of bluewater cruising, I could count the number of under 30-foot sailboats I’ve seen on one hand (all of them were skippered by people in their 20s and 30s).

Today’s anchorages are full of 40, 50, and 60-foot-plus ocean sailboats, but that’s not to say you can’t sail the world in a small sailboat. Just look at Alessandro di Benedetto who in 2010 broke the record for the smallest boat to sail around the world non-stop in his 21-foot Mini 6.5 .

So long as you don’t mind forgoing a few comforts, you can sail around the world on a small budget .

What makes a good blue water sailboat

While you might not think a small sailboat is up to the task of going long distances, some of the best bluewater sailboats are under 40 feet.

However, if you’re thinking about buying a boat for offshore cruising, there are a few things to know about what makes a small boat offshore capable .

Smaller equals slower

Don’t expect to be sailing at high speeds in a pocket cruiser. Smaller displacement monohulls are always going to be slower than larger displacement monohulls (see the video below to learn why smaller boats are slower). Therefore a smaller cruiser is going to take longer on a given passage, making them more vulnerable to changes in weather.

A few feet can make a big difference over a week-long passage. On the last leg of our Pacific Ocean crossing, our 35-foot sailboat narrowly avoid a storm that our buddy boat, a 28-foot sailboat, couldn’t. Our friend was only a knot slower but it meant he had to heave to for a miserable three days.

pocket cruiser

Small but sturdy

If a pocket cruiser encounters bad weather, they will be less able to outrun or avoid it. For this reason, many of the blue water sailboats in this list are heavily built and designed to take a beating.

Yacht design has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Today, new boats are designed to be light and fast. The small sailboats in our list are 30-plus year-old designs and were built in a time when weather forecasts were less accurate and harder to come by.

Back in the day, boat were constructed with thicker fiberglass hulls than you see in modern builds. Rigs, keels, rudders, hulls and decks – everything about these small cruising sailboats was designed to stand up to strong winds and big waves. Some of the boats in this post have skeg-hung rudders and most of them are full keel boats.

The pros and cons of pocket cruiser sailboats

Pocket cruiser sailboats present certain advantages and disadvantages.

More affordable

Their smaller size makes them affordable bluewater sailboats. You can often find great deals on pocket cruisers and sometimes you can even get them for free.

You’ll also save money on retrofits and repairs because small cruising sailboats need smaller boat parts (which cost a lot less) . For example, you can get away with smaller sails, ground tackle, winches, and lighter lines than on a bigger boat.

Moorage, haul-outs, and marine services are often billed by foot of boat length . A small sailboat makes traveling the world , far more affordable!

When something major breaks (like an engine) it will be less costly to repair or replace than it would be on a bigger boat.

how to remove rusted screw

Less time consuming

Smaller boats tend to have simpler systems which means you’ll spend less time fixing and paying to maintain those systems. For example, most small yachts don’t have showers, watermakers , hot water, and electric anchor windlasses.

On the flip side, you’ll spend more time collecting water (the low-tech way) . On a small sailboat, this means bucket baths, catching fresh water in your sails, and hand-bombing your anchor. Though less convenient, this simplicity can save you years of preparation and saving to go sailing.

Oh, and did I mention that you’ll become a complete water meiser? Conserving water aboard becomes pretty important when you have to blue-jug every drop of it from town back to your boat.

Easier to sail

Lastly, smaller boats can be physically easier to sail , just think of the difference between raising a sail on a 25-foot boat versus a 50-foot boat! You can more easily single-hand or short-hand a small sailboat. For that reason, some of the best solo blue water sailboats are quite petite.

As mentioned above small boats are slow boats and will arrive in port, sometimes days (and even weeks) behind their faster counterparts on long offshore crossings.

Consider this scenario: two boats crossed the Atlantic on a 4,000 nautical mile route. The small boat averaged four miles an hour, while the big boat averaged seven miles an hour. If both started at the same time, the small boat will have completed the crossing two weeks after the larger sailboat!

Less spacious

Living on a boat can be challenging — living on a small sailboat, even more so! Small cruising boats don’t provide much in the way of living space and creature comforts.

Not only will you have to downsize when you move onto a boat  you’ll also have to get pretty creative when it comes to boat storage.

It also makes it more difficult to accommodate crew for long periods which means there are fewer people to share work and night shifts.

If you plan on sailing with your dog , it might put a small boat right out of the question (depending on the size of your four-legged crew member).

boat galley storage ideas

Less comfortable

It’s not just the living situation that is less comfortable, the sailing can be pretty uncomfortable too! Pocket cruisers tend to be a far less comfortable ride than larger boats as they are more easily tossed about in big ocean swell.

Here are our 5 favorite small blue water sailboats for sailing around the world

When we sailed across the Pacific these were some of the best small sailboats that we saw. Their owners loved them and we hope you will too!

The boats in this list are under 30 feet. If you’re looking for something slightly larger, you might want to check out our post on the best bluewater sailboats under 40 feet .

Very useful list, but incomplete - as it would necessarily be, considering the number of seaworthy smaller boats that are around.

In particular, you missed/omitted the Westerly "Centaur" and its follow-on model, the "Griffon". 26 feet LOA, bilge-keelers, weighing something over 6000 pounds, usually fitted with a diesel inboard.

OK, these are British designs, and not that common in the US, but still they do exist, they're built like tanks, and it's rumored that at least one Centaur has circumnavigated.

This is a helpful list, thank you. I don't think most people would consider a 28' boat a pocket cruiser, though!

Beneteau First 30

beneteau first 30

As they approached the First 30 to conduct their dockside evaluation during the boat show, the BOTY judges may have been just a little skeptical of this performance-oriented 30-footer’s cruisability. But that skepticism turned into appreciation as soon as they stepped below, and they were downright enamored with how the boat sailed. Click here to read why the Beneteau First 30 won Best Small Cruiser, 20 feet and Under in 2011.

presto 30

The Presto 30 is an innovative, well-built, good looking cruising boat that satisfied its stated design brief as well as any other boat the judges looked at, though it’s not what you might expect from an average cruising boat. Cruising World judges also noted that this easy-to-handle boat may attract new sailors to the sport so they can learn the ropes and then trade up to another model, an approach that’s important to the health of the entire industry. Click here to read how the Presto 30 won the Cruising Spirit Award in 2011.

Catalina 309

“I think that for the purpose it was put on the water, to be able to walk down, jump aboard, and simply go enjoy it on a weekend, the boat not only hit the price in terms of value but also hit the mark in terms of use,” remarked judge Alvah Simon, a world voyager. Click to read why the Catalina 309 won Domestic Boat of the Year for 2007 .

j/95 boat

The J/95’s retractable centerboard and dual rudders make it possible to sail in just 3 feet of water. During our dockside visit, designer Rod Johnstone told us that he wanted to build a comfortable coastal cruiser that could keep people sailing by providing “high performance in shallow water,” and the J/95 did exactly what Rod said it would. Click here to read how it won Best Weekender and Domestic Boat of the Year for 2010.

Catalina 315

This nifty pocket cruiser raises the Catalina quality bar with more comfort and better performance. It’s the little things that make this boat special, including the tall rig, the wide cockpit, the large anchor locker, the sprit for the asymmetric kite, and the clever use of space below. Click here to read how the Catalina 315 won Best Inshore Cruiser for 2013.

delphia 33

The Delphia 33 is a boat that’s maximized every inch of available space, and the overall fit and finish, from the joiner work to the systems installation to the structural integrity of the boat, is well done. Click here to read why the Delphia 33 won Import Boat of the Year in 2008.

hunter e33

“With this introductory cruiser, Hunter is trying to bring people up through its ranks and into cruising from trailer-sailers and smaller boats,” said Alvah Simon. “And the company has done that with a 33-footer that has quality and affordability but is still manageable and unintimidating.” Click here to read why the Hunter e33 won Best Compact Cruiser for 2012.

C&C 101

cc 101 yacht

The 33-foot C&C 101 boasts thoroughly modern lines and a nice turn of speed but also features a fine layout belowdecks, with cherry furniture and a teak cabin sole. Click here to read why the C&C 101 won Domestic Boat of the Year and Best Performance Cruiser in 2013.

This dual-purpose cruiser is both easy to handle and zippy on the racecourse. Click here to read why the X-34 won Best Racer-Cruiser for 2009.

Beneteau 34

najad 355 yacht

The BOTY judges found lots on which to agree as they proclaimed the Najad 355 to be the Best Small Cruiser of 2008: great sails, solid motion through the water, practical interior, well-laid-out deck. Click here to read more.

The premise of the Swift boat attacks on John Kerry in 2004 were that he exaggerated his combat heroism and abandoned comrades to their fate. As an example of “stolen valour”, Kerry was thus unfit to be commander-in-chief. The hatchet job — brutally executed by a group of Vietnam veterans not formally tied to George W Bush’s campaign — succeeded. It would stand much less chance of working today.

I thought of Kerry’s unearned fate this week as Donald Trump posed at Arlington National Cemetery with relatives of one of the US marines killed three years ago in Joe Biden’s botched Afghan withdrawal. Though Arlington, like all US military sites, prohibits campaigns from using it as a backdrop, Trump converted the anniversary into a general election photo-op. The image of him standing in front of the graves with his trademark thumbs up was not only jarring; it was a reminder of how much American society has altered in the last two decades. Kerry was badly damaged by allegations that he had betrayed America’s sacred honour. Trump, on the other hand, pays no price for pouring frequent scorn on the very idea of serving one’s country.

This week also happened to be the anniversary of John McCain’s death. Trump in 2015 mocked the then senator McCain for having been taken prisoner in Vietnam. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said. “I like people who weren’t captured.” According to John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, and a retired Marine general, Trump would openly mock those who had died fighting for their country. Alone among allied leaders in 2018, he could not be bothered to commemorate the D-Day fallen in Normandy. Trump thinks dead or wounded soldiers are “suckers”, according to Kelly, and refused to be pictured next to amputees or people in wheelchairs because “it doesn’t look good for me”. 

I am unaware of any elected leader in the history of democracy who has spoken about their armed forces with such contempt. Yet Trump pays no price for it. Why? Some of it is to do with Trump’s skill at harvesting resentment against the non-serving elites. A veteran once told me that there were few things more annoying than people who dodged the draft saying “Thank you for your service”. When it comes to the supposedly honoured role of veterans in US society, hypocrisy is truly the compliment that vice pays to virtue.

Letting serving members of the military board flights before anyone else is another example of such virtue signalling. Most of the US military is recruited from blue collar communities, often with at least one direct family member having also served. That Trump gets away with insulting their deceased comrades is nevertheless a puzzle. I should add that Kelly felt Trump’s scorn very personally. His son, Robert Michael Kelly, also a marine, died in Afghanistan, aged 29.

Which brings me back to Afghanistan. Biden never recovered from the disastrous pullout. His approval rating dropped below 50 per cent for the first time in August 2021 and never reached that point again. The administration bears full responsibility for the chaotic nature of America’s withdrawal in which the Taliban seized control almost immediately, a result that has increasingly dire consequences today. But as I wrote at the time, the Taliban’s victory was a “whole-of-government, bipartisan, multiple-presidency operation” . Aside from Biden, Trump bears particular responsibility for Afghanistan’s reversion to the dark ages. It was he who negotiated directly with the Taliban, agreed to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners, and set the date (originally April 2021) for full US withdrawal. That he is now trying to piggyback on the deaths of 13 American soldiers whom he would otherwise regards as suckers is quite hard to stomach. 

My esteemed respondent this week is Kori Schake, director of foreign and defence policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. She is also one of America’s foremost scholars of civil-military relations. Kori was a senior adviser on McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. Kori, how does Trump get away with saying such things? Can you think of any precedent?

My column this week urges Kamala Harris to do as many interviews as possible — the more exposure the better. This runs against the conventional wisdom in the Democratic world, which is acquiring nearly as much contempt for the “media” — a useless catch-all term up there with “fascism” and “elites” — as in the Maga world.

My colleague Gideon Rachman wrote a sharp take on how Ukraine’s Zelenskyy is increasingly willing to cross America’s red lines , as well as Putin’s. Frankly, it’s hard to blame Zelenskyy. In denying Ukraine the ability to strike inside Russian territory with US weapons, America continues to tie one hand behind Ukraine’s back.

Do also read the great Daniel Levy in the Guardian on how Biden’s Israel-Gaza strategy is still not working — and is never likely to. Few are better informed or more clear on this subject than Levy. He makes a powerful case.

Kori Schake responds

Attacks on Senator Kerry were successful because many other Vietnam veterans felt a strong sense of betrayal that he’d made his political name criticising the war. Ed, I’m less confident than you are that similar critiques would not resonate today (or that criticisms of Kerry were unfair). But those aren’t the circumstances of Governor Walz, who served 24 years and was a senior non-commissioned officer. He may have occasionally embroidered here and there, but the attacks look feeble. Trump’s exemptions and Senator Vance’s service as a one-tour media specialist hardly glisten by comparison.

Trump is trying to outrun his earlier, disrespectful comments by embracing the Abbey Gate families. The Republican convention showcased them poignantly. Republicans are capitalising on the genuine bereavement many veterans and families experience regarding the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — about which President Biden insists he made the right decisions. That, too, feels disrespectful to many even though, as you rightly point out, President Trump set the abandonment in motion. But he wasn’t in office when people were clinging to landing gear as aircraft took off and veterans were desperately working networks to get Afghan allies to safety.

By deriding “the generals,” pardoning troops convicted of serious crimes at court martial, and demagoguing only some service as worthy, Trump is engaged in a sinister effort to break up the good order and discipline of the American military — to reach past the leadership and create insurrectionists among the ranks.

PS Despite the common misconception, it’s not true that the American military is disproportionately recruited from among the poor. Nineteen per cent of the poorest quintile of our country serve, as do 17 per cent of the richest quintile, and the majority of recruits are from middle income families. Our military comes disproportionately from nearby military bases and from military families. Nor are their politics distinguishable from other Americans of equivalent education and income. 

Your feedback

And now a word from our Swampians . . .

In response to “On China, Kamala Harris is a blank slate” : “Chinese commentators are not optimistic about a turn for the better in relations with the US, but they are more worried about Trump than about Harris. Stability and some level of communication are as much as they could wish for, and neither of these are Trumpian virtues. Harris’s silence on China could be taken as a good sign; perhaps she thinks before she speaks.” — Brantly Womack
