Built in a special, final batch and the last of the famous Beneteau 40.7's delivered to Australia, Crystal cutter is a brilliant example of the model fully fitted out for blue water ocean racing and retains many great cruising elements.
The interior joinery is in a limited light oak, with dark Wenge floorboards giving her a unique look and feel. Overall the condition is better than most 40.7's we've sold. There are 3 double cabins, L shaped galley, dedicated chart table and a central saloon with flip up dining table. There is a head forward to port accessed from the saloon or owners cabin.
The rig is the double spreader updated, taller mast with wire replaced in 2019. There is a spinnaker pole stored on the mast and all running rigging is continuously updated in a "ready to go" racing spec. Currently a newly fitted harken racing foil is fitted however a furler awaits in storage.
There is large sail inventory by Ian short sails including:
3 x mains (1 x very good carbon / 1 x Dacron delivery / 1 x old carbon needs repair)
No. 1,2 (new), 3 & 4 headsails.
3 x spinnakers (light/medium/heavy).
1 x asymmetrical spinnaker.
Storm sails - excellent
Furling headsail
In order to compete in blue water races Crystal Cutter III has been kept in full Category 1 up until June 2025. All gear stays with the boat and would be passed on to a new owner for their re certification.
If you're after a step on and go, late model 40.7 you would struggle to go past Crystal Cutter III which comes to the market due to the owner relocating overseas.
Available to inspect with us at the CYCA in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney.
