Boat Description

Introducing Presto, a Jon Meri 40 crafted in Finland in 1988, closely related to the esteemed Swan 40 from the same period, and built to an equally high standard. This vessel has been consistently and professionally maintained, with impressive upgrades throughout its life. The hull and teak decks are in exceptional condition, making it a fantastic choice for liveaboard lifestyles, coastal cruising, or offshore adventures. Key features include: - Brand new Quantum genoa and main sails, along with an inner forestay for staysail and yankee sails. - Equipped with running backstays for robust ocean crossing capabilities. - A Leisure Furl boom (installed in 2019) and a barely used cruising spinnaker with sock. - Electric Lewmar 64 primary winches and accessible running rigging for the helmsman, including the main halyard and sheet, traveler, and genoa. - Dual Raymarine chart plotters fully integrated with digital radar and autopilot, plus an offshore shortwave radio. - A VHF radio with built-in GPS and emergency signaling, as well as an AIS receiver and transponder. - New canvas (2025) for both dodgers and bimini, ensuring comfort and protection. - The teak deck has been refurbished and is in excellent condition, maintained yearly with Semco. Upgrades include: - Sail handling improvements with a Leisure Furling boom and new halyards for spinnaker, genoa, and main sails. - Engine: Yanmar Diesel 4JH4, 57 hp, with a Balmar Regulator and a two-bladed folding Max-Prop. - An integrated navigation system featuring a digital radar, Raymarine Axiom 12 Pro at the helm, and Axiom 9 at the navigation station. - Comprehensive communication tools, including a Garmin AIS 800 transponder and Standard Horizon VHF with cockpit remote. - Additional features like Lewmar Ocean Series deck hatches, air conditioning, and a hot water heater. Presto combines quality, performance, and comfort, making it an ideal choice for sailors looking for a reliable and well-equipped vessel.
