KIWI 40FC
This boat has been sold
Year: 2011
Current Price: SOLD USD
Hull Material: Glass epoxy resin infusion
The KIWI 40FC has a highly versatile deck layout and a cockpit arrangement which lends itself to both short-handed offshore racing and fully-crewed inshore events, a full crew being four to six persons. The KIWI 40FC is a very powerful racing yacht. With the maximum righting moment permitted within Class40 rules, maximum permitted beam of 4.5m, maximum allowed water ballast and a low centre of vertical gravity the KIWI 40FC is truly a racing yacht with plenty of horsepower. The construction method has afforded the KIWI 40FC excellent weight distribution and stiffness of structure which in turn creates lower inertia and faster acceleration properties. The KIWI 40FC develops the power and loads more normally seen on a 50ft canting keel yacht and has been equipped with the appropriate hardware. The performance of a 50 footer in a 40 footer – the KIWI 40FC is an exceptional yacht.

Hull/Deck Construction Details
Both are built from high quality female moulds using the latest thermoformed foam core technology, and engineered E-glass fabrics. The shells are infused with specially formulated epoxy resin for an immaculate finish and very tough laminates. Once infused the shells are post cured over 70degC and under vacuum to attain maximum structural properties from all materials. The hull has higher density cores in the forward slamming zones, and weight saving core in the aft topsides, with an integral keel fin socket. The deck has additional reinforcing and high density inserts for all deck gear and high load fittings. Mast collar and deck toe rails are in composites. The cabin top has polycarbonate windows each side, twin companionways and a permanent dodger at the back for weather protection. All laminates are engineered by Pure Engineering NZ Ltd to comply in excess of ISAF Cat 0, and ISO 12215 standard.
Interior Layout
Sleeping is by way of four fixed berths, with locker stowage beneath and two additional hinging pipe cots, tackled and finished with netting at the aft end of the interior. Fixed lightweight chemical toilet is central forward of the mast. Aft of the mast is the water tight halyard tunnel, which is drained out through the transom, enabling all halyard control to be actioned from a single cockpit station between the companionway doors. Galley has a single gimballing gas canister stove, sink with hand pumped fresh water, with 40 litres of water stowage tanks secured back aft. All thru hull fittings are flush mounted Forespar Racing The nav station is central aft of the mast & can be easily accessed as it pivots to either port or starboard side and to suit, so all navigation work can be done from the weather side of the boat. An internally operated bilge pump is mounted ready to go.
