Passport 40 1986

Experience life and adventure like never before aboard the remarkable 1986 Passport 40, a Robert Perry-designed sloop recognized as one of the most capable and desirable sailboats ever crafted. This legendary vessel seamlessly combines outstanding seaworthiness with remarkable speed, featuring a modified fin keel and a skeg-hung rudder. Ready for exploration, it comes equipped with a fully battened mainsail, three jibs, and a spinnaker, with all lines led aft for easy short-handed sailing. The Passport 40 is reinforced with oversized rigging for added strength and reliability, and the removal of teak decking means no more sanding or dealing with leaks, while the beautiful teak cockpit maintains its classic appeal. Free from the gel-coat blistering typical of its era, this boat showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Whether you’re navigating the bay among majestic whales or heading south towards new horizons, this Passport 40 is an outstanding choice for serious cruisers ready for fresh adventures. Picture yourself in a tropical paradise, where humpback whales give birth just outside the marina, teaching their young to leap and splash back into the sea. You untie the dock lines and sail among them, carried by the wind in the sheltered bay, with the soft sound of mariachi music floating across the water. This is the magic of international cruising, and with Mexico’s close proximity to the USA, you’re never too far from home. Recent upgrades and maintenance include: complete cockpit re-caulking in 2025, new salon windows in 2025, new rear pushpit in 2024, new Bimini in 2024, repaired port side knee supporting the cap shroud in 2023, replaced mattress in the pullman berth in 2023, cleaned fuel tanks in 2023, inspected chainplates in 2023, added chainplate covers in 2023, new dedicated windlass battery in 2022, replaced dodger in 2022, bottom paint in 2022, and replaced stuffing box, packing glands, and cutlass bearing in 2022.
