The
KING 40 is a true
dual-purpose cruiser/racer which can compete successfully offshore or around the cans, yet still offers a comfortable cockpit and interior for relaxed family sailing. The KING 40 builds on the two most successful designs of this size in recent years, the
IRC 39 Mariners Cove and the
IRC 40 Tiamat: both UK IRC Champions in 2006. With winning in its genes, the
KING 40 has been positioned to ensure that it has the widest
possible performance band, with particular focus on light and medium airs racing. High stability is encouraged by the IRC rule and ensures pace all the way up the wind range. The
KING 40 easily surpasses existing stability
requirements for the world’s great ocean races.
The King 40 is built in accordance with the European CE-certification and meets the CE-Directive 94/25/CE Category A “Ocean” for recreational vessels.
