40 Wauquiez - WAUQUIEZ FOR SALE

The 2003 Wauquiez 40 Pilot Saloon is a refined performance cruiser and bluewater sailing yacht that marries superb craftsmanship with plush comfort. Driven by a proven Yanmar 4JH3E diesel (56 hp), this 41.9-foot sloop showcases sleek lines and spirited handling. With a PHRF base of 108, it delivers lively pace for club racing and swift passagemaking alike. The raised deck-saloon layout floods the interior with light, granting panoramic 360-degree views from the dinette—ideal for extended cruising, offshore adventures, or relaxed weekend escapes.

Inside, the yacht features exquisite Burma-teak joinery, thoughtfully arranged for both elegance and utility. Accommodations include two private cabins: an aft owner’s suite with a centerline double and a forward V-berth, each with an en-suite head. The full galley is paired with air conditioning, heating, and tankless hot water for year-round comfort. Outdoors, the teak cockpit and side decks radiate classic style, while a fold-out swim platform with ladder, cockpit cushions, and a cockpit shower elevate the on-board experience.

Outfitted for serious cruising, this deck-saloon cruiser carries a robust electronics package—radar, autopilot, and GPS—plus quality sails with a furling mainsail and Genoa. An electric winch and bow thruster make short-handed sailing effortless, positioning this racer–cruiser as a versatile, reliable, and luxurious choice for sailors seeking a premium cruising sailboat that excels from coastal hops to offshore passages and liveaboard life.

Electronics

A comprehensive suite of electronics places confident passage-making at your fingertips: the autopilot keeps your course true, while the depthsounder and log-speedometer continually report the seafloor below and your pace through the water. A clear plotter anchored by a full navigation center, together with GPS and radar, delivers real-time situational awareness day or night. Traditional precision comes from the compass, reliable communication flows through the VHF, and dedicated wind speed and direction instrumentation fine-tunes every trim. For life aboard, a stereo radio with CD-player feeds crisp cockpit speakers, carrying your soundtrack out on deck.

Sails

A furling mainsail and furling genoa transform hoists and reefs into smooth, fingertip-easy maneuvers, encouraging you to sail more often and with fewer hands. When it is time to stretch her legs, the spinnaker delivers exhilarating downwind performance, turning long reaches into effortless runs.

Rigging

Sail handling is streamlined by an electric winch mounted on the starboard-side cabin top, perfectly positioned for efficient control-line work from the companionway. At the helm, a responsive steering wheel delivers poised feedback and precise control, making every course change intuitive and assured.

Electrical equipment

A shore power inlet brings reliable dockside electricity aboard, keeping systems powered and batteries topped whenever you plug in.

Inside equipment

On-board comfort is thoughtfully engineered: a battery charger keeps reserves ready, while a bow thruster makes close-quarters handling calm and exact. An electric bilge pump adds peace of mind, and a marine head underscores practical seagoing independence. Climate control arrives via air conditioning and heating, complemented by hot water for refreshing showers. A refrigerator stands ready to keep provisions cool, supporting longer, more luxurious stays aboard.

Outside equipment/extras

Purposeful deck details elevate every outing: a fin stabilizer enhances comfort under way, while davits and outboard engine brackets make launching and stowing the tender simple and secure. Warm teak sidedecks frame a teak cockpit that invites barefoot passage, with a swimming ladder and cockpit shower extending easy life at anchor. Plush cockpit cushions and a sturdy cockpit table turn the cockpit into an alfresco salon, and a capable tender unlocks shoreside adventures at will.

Cover

A bimini top shades the cockpit with generous coverage, creating a cool, protected refuge for helming and lounging alike.
