Yankee Star
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 40 ft cruising yacht from Glen-L Marine that pairs a traditional look with a moderate-displacement fin-keel, skeg-rudder hull, in cold-molded wood. Two double staterooms at opposite ends of the boat, each with its own head and shower, dual companionways, berths for eight, and a ketch or cutter rig with bowsprit. Glen-L publish a beam of 12 ft 1 in and a draft of 5 ft 7 in.
Displacement is 18,500 lb. Headroom below is 6'-1" to 6'-6". The hull is a round bilge with fixed ballast keel and separate rudder/skeg. For power they specify single inboard diesel engine of 25 to 35 SHP with suitable reduction gear. A very large cold-molded build with an elaborate interior. Expect 5,000 hours or more over many years. The medians below are from real logged builds.
