About the HUTTING 40
Keel/CB version draft - BU:1.35m/4.43' BD:2.5m/8.2' Thanks to Aike van der Hoeff.
The Hutting 40 is a Dutch-built cruising yacht designed by Dick Koopmans Sr. and constructed by Hutting Yachts (NL) in 2000. With a displacement of 29542.0 lb and a full/long keel, this cutter-rigged vessel is characterized by its heavy displacement and traditional hull form, though the exact number of hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over speed, particularly those seeking a robust platform for long-term liveaboard or bluewater passage-making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a high displacement of 29542.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.53, and a full/long keel, the Hutting 40 is inherently stable and well-suited for offshore passages, provided structural integrity is maintained.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other heavy-displacement, full-keel cutters from the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 42 or the Beneteau First 40.7 (though lighter), sharing similar roles in safe, comfortable offshore cruising.
