Hughes 40 1979

Don't miss out on this exceptional boat! Hughes boats have long been celebrated for their robust, battleship-like construction, impressive strength, and excellent sailing capabilities. While they may not be the fastest blue-water cruisers, they excel in stability and reliability. This particular vessel has received numerous upgrades that elevate it well beyond the typical Hughes model. In 2015, every piece of standing rigging and interior component was removed, and all chainplates and standing rigging were replaced. The electrical system was completely overhauled with upgraded wiring and LED lighting. The fuel tanks were also replaced with three new aluminum tanks, totaling 200 gallons, along with additional fresh-water tanks (four poly tanks at 33 gallons each and one 52-gallon stainless steel tank). The hull was insulated from the waterline up, the joinery was reinstalled, and new headliners were added for a fresh look. In 2022, a rigid dogger was installed along with a fold-up swim platform, and a dedicated locker for twin LP tanks that support a new ENO LP stove was added. The cockpit received a complete makeover with new canvas and Isinglass, providing comfort and protection. In 2024, an advanced refrigeration system was introduced, along with a new 2000-watt sine-wave inverter. The following year, a state-of-the-art hydraulic autopilot was installed, enhancing its cruising capabilities. This boat is truly a sailor's paradise. Its two-cabin, two-head layout ensures ample privacy for everyone on board, and the unique cockpit access to the aft cabin is a standout feature. Designed with single-handed sailing in mind, it’s perfect for those who enjoy solo adventures on the water.
