Class 40 #159 'Tquila' For Sale - A Vendre

Class 40 #159 ‘Tquila’ is a high-performance Mach 40.4 scow-bow ocean racing yacht, designed by Sam Manuard and built by JPS Production, launched in December 2019. Her wide forward sections and fuller bow volume deliver exceptional stability, allowing her to carry greater sail area and translating into impressive performance, particularly when reaching and sailing downwind. The deep cockpit and coachroof provide an excellent working platform, with winches and sail controls positioned for efficient sail handling while offering enhanced protection to the skipper and crew.
