Summit 40
The Summit 40 is a very successful Mills design. This 12.15m LOA design is intended to provide a true dual-purpose Cruiser/Racer which can compete successfully offshore or around the cans, and still offer a comfortable cockpit and interior for more relaxed family sailing. With winning performance in its genes, the Summit 40 has been positioned to ensure that it has the widest possible performance band, with particular focus on light and medium air performance.
Deck
The deck plan is an extension of the attractive and ergonomically refined layout pioneered with Mariner’s Cove, from Mills Design Ltd. It has been developed to ensure racing ease with none of the usual Cruiser/Racer compromises. The combination of an open racing layout with twin wheels and uncluttered deck combined with the seats and coamings offers a comfortable cockpit for more relaxed sailing.
Rigging
The swept spreader rig with non-overlapping jibs and masthead kites continues this theme with an easy to handle sailplan which will reward racing crews. A retractable sprit with asymmetric kites is an available option. The foils are the latest CFD-refined shapes to ensure high performance. The lead T-bulb on an SG Iron fin and high aspect rudder combine to provide excellent upwind performance with a very balanced helm.
The Summit 40 guarantees an unprecedented combination of performance, features, build quality, and competitive price.
