MOMENTARY - CREALOCK

Want to Set Sail? You’ve Found the Perfect Yacht!

This stunning 1986 W.I.B. Crealock Cutter Creala 40 will be fully ready for your adventures after spring commissioning. Meticulously maintained by her previous owners, she is an ideal choice for sailors seeking a comfortable and secure cruising experience. If this resonates with you, schedule a viewing to explore her beauty firsthand.

The Creala 40, crafted by the esteemed W.I.B. Crealock in 1986 and constructed in the Philippines by Yachts International (this vessel is the second of seven), is a true gem. The current owner acquired her from the original owner in 2004 and proudly states, "When people compare my yacht to a Pacific Seacraft 40, I respond, 'No, a Pacific Seacraft 40 is akin to my yacht.'" The PS 40, also designed by Crealock, shares many similarities with the Creala 40, with some modifications made over the years, particularly in the interior layout.

Crealock, a celebrated designer, emphasized the importance of seaworthiness in his designs: "Seaworthiness must be the top priority for a cruising vessel. Aesthetics matter, but if the boat can’t safely deliver cruisers to their destinations, it falls short. While many boats perform well in Southern California, the true test comes in challenging conditions. That's when the differences between vessels become apparent. Beyond safety, a balance must be struck; the yacht should be visually appealing and not sluggish—no one enjoys a slow boat. You can’t just combine a camper with a Ferrari and expect perfection."

The Creala 40 boasts a Motion Comfort rating of 39.34, surpassing every production yacht in its class (including Catalina, Beneteau, Jeanneau, and others). Reach out to the Broker for more insights on Motion Comfort ratings from Ted Brewer, the creator of this category.
