2008 Beneteau 40

The Beneteau 40 sets the standards for what one should expect from a 40' boat. It feels like a much larger boat in the cockpit, on deck and down below, has wonderful sailing attributes, and can easily be managed by one person. "Third Wish" was sailed and maintained by her knowledgeable owners here on the Bay, and is in beautiful condition! She is very nicely equipped and is the perfect boat for you to cruise locally or on extended trips!
