Bateaux Archambault A40RC - 12.00m Sailing yacht

Bateaux Archambault A40RC Overview

The Archambault A40RC reveals its purpose at a glance: a huge open cockpit (it occupies exactly one third of the boat's length), two titanium (!) handwheels, a sharp nose with a vertical shaft and high-performance sailing weapons can only belong to a racing yacht. Although the yacht description indicates that it is a racer/cruiser, it is only a marketing slyness. Of course it is possible to spend a weekend on it with family or friends - but it is better to spend it in a gambling race. The layout of the cockpit (especially the location of the mainsail tuner) can be an example of an ergonomically successful solution. The deck space is spacious, but unpretentious - clearly not the Ritz hotel.
The hull of the boat has a rational system of longitudinal and transverse reinforcements, which give it particular torsional rigidity. The high proportion of ballast weight in the displacement of the boat (48.5%) gives it an excellent stability.
