Fortuna Island Spirit 401
The Fortuna Island Spirit 401 is a safe, comfortable, and reliable catamaran with plenty of proven bluewater experience. Sail Magazine recognised the Island Spirit 401 as one of its "Top Ten" boats of the year in 2005, citing its solid construction, simple and robust systems, accessible design, safe and efficient sail handling, roomy interior, and reliable sailing performance. The yachts spacious layout makes her an ideal platform for couples or families who plan to cruise full-time, be it offshore or coastal cruising around our wonderful coastline. She has seen many upgrades of late and is priced well in today's market. Large rear cockpit featuring a long seat aft and built in seating around the GRP cockpit table and room to add a few portable chairs when the guests arrive if needed. 6ft4in headroom, protected helm with good vision forward and aft and easy access off and on from dock or dinghy compliment her overall sailing ability. One of the standout features aboard are the horizontal steps from forward deck up on to the coach-roof. Great for shade in the saloon, but more importantly, fantastic access while working at the mast or stepping up on to the coach-roof to open and close the sail-bag. Region

Remarks
The Fortuna 401 Island Spirit boosts a sleek open cockpit layout with a helm-station that is fully integrated with the cockpit, and a spacious interior with comfort in mind. Most lines lead to the helm, and combined with her visibility to all four corners, allows her to be easily sailed single-handed. Great galley for the first mate and large saloon seating area feature in her design. A wide bottom step on the sugar scoops provide ample room for both divers and equipment, offering easy swim-on or step-on access to either side of the open-layout cockpit.
This Fortuna 401 is the complete package, taking in the comforts of home out to the seven seas.
