40 ft Trawler Yacht
Designed by Jay R. Benford
A 40 ft design from Jay Benford's catalog, drawn for Airex cored fibreglass construction. One of the trawler yachts, a range drawn mostly to commission for owners with decades of sea time behind them, which is why so many of them carry variations: each was tailored to somebody's own idea of the ideal liveaboard.
Benford publishes a displacement of 21,750 lb in coastal cruising trim, which is tanks full with the crew and their stores aboard rather than a shipping weight. Plans are sold to owner-builders, and study plans are sold separately for anyone wanting to look before committing.
