1983 CAPE BAY FAST 40 — TURNKEY OFFSHORE RACER

Race ready. Road legal. No permits required.

This is one of the most capable trailerable 40-footers ever built — and she’s ready to go right now. With an 8-foot beam and a lifting keel, she tows behind a truck anywhere in the country without a single permit or pilot car. The trailer is included in the sale. Unhook, launch, race, repeat.

This boat was purpose-built for the Singlehanded Transpac. Every upgrade is deliberate, racing-grade, and brand new. You are not buying a project. You are buying a weapon.

That same offshore capability makes her an exceptional singlehanded daysailer or coastal/offshore racer. Show up, sail fast, trailer home.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Cape Bay Fast 40 was designed to go fast and go light. She is not a cruiser pretending to race. The lifting keel gives you a shallow draft for any ramp and a powerful blade when you need to point upwind in a seaway. At 8 feet of beam she is the largest boat you can legally tow on public roads with no permits — and the trailer is included in the transaction.

Every system on this boat has been upgraded for offshore singlehanded racing. Victron lithium with remote monitoring. B&G instruments and plotter. Self-tacking jib. Full rewire. New sails from luff to leech. This is a boat prepped by someone who races, not someone who prepares to sell.

Turnkey and ready to race. Call now to talk.
