This is A Swedish Sailboat SENSATION! You just never know what you're going to find when you go look at a used sailboat that is for sale. Canadian Ken and I were blown away by this classic beauty. If you're not familiar with the Vindos, they do things a little differently: The Vindo 40 is not 40 feet, as one might expect, but rather just shy of 31 feet the 40 is representative of her sail area, which is 420 +/ square feet. And if you want a really good look at another beautiful Vindo (a Vindo 32, which is just shy of 30 feet...), check out the early episodes of  @SailingMagicCarpet . They did a full refit and she is also an amazingly beautiful boat (which recently sold to a new owner).

The Vindo 40, designed by Carl Andersson, was an extremely successful boat with 850 built between 1970 and 1982. This Vindo 40 has been owned and loving maintained for the past three years and sailed locally on the coast of Maine where she has spent a good part of her life, hailing out of Camden. She has wintered indoors and was repowered in 2004 with a new Westerbeke that has less than 250 hrs on it! That is amazing. A solid, comfortable boat, she would be ideal for a solo sailor, a couple, or a small family. And she would be ideal for day trips, weekending, or coastal cruising and she will turn heads wherever she goes. She is a stunner!

The ASKING price is $26,500. If you have more questions about the boat, please contact the seller, John, directly at: [email protected]

We LOVED this boat and we hope you do, too.

And, as always, we have no financial interest in this vessel.

Thanks for watching and get busy sailing or get busy trying!
