40' Far East Yacht Builders Yokosuka Japan Mariner

Meet Amrita, a wooden 1967 Mariner 40 Ketch. She is classic, full of personality and knows her way around the waters. She has the look and feel of a classic cruising sailboat from an era when durability and craftsmanship were emphasized. A highly respected design for offshore long-range cruising. She is roomy with 7 feet of headroom in the main saloon, a large galley and full navigation station complete with a solid chart table and a fine set of drawers. She can sleep up to 6 people comfortably with limited privacy yet shes cozy, warm and stable. Amrita features a traditional clipper bow, a masthead ketch rig for balanced short-handed sail handling in heavy weather, excellent stability from its encapsulated lead keel, and a spacious comfortable interior suited for extended passages or liveaboard useprized for its seaworthiness, dry ride, and proven capability in rough conditions with a cruising speed of 7 knots. Her bronze hardware projects quiet confidence rather than flash giving her that timeless character she is known for. With a little attention she will come to life and continue sailing faithfully and forever as Amrita.
