All about Archambault A 40 Rc version
Few yachts can proudly uphold the title of cruiser-racer without blushing.
Even fewer are those that can actually race "out of the box".
The Archambault A40 RC falls into both categories.
Founded in 1959 by Emmanuel Archambault, a carpenter and sailing enthusiast, the shipyard has seen some very successful models, such as the Surprise, 1,500 of which were produced.
Archambault yachts are famous for their very low weight to sail area ratio, making them true competition machines.
Launched in 2003, the Archambault ended her production career in 2017 with the 10th bankruptcy of the ill-fated shipyard...
The Archambault A40 RC is a 40-foot sloop, 11.95 m long and 3.75 m wide, weighing less than 6,400 kg.
This sailboat has 91m2 of sail area upwind. For comparison, the 2019 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410, weighs 7,800 kg light and carries 71 m2 of upwind sail area.
The ratio is obvious!
However, the Archambault A40 RC are not austere sailboats, they have two or three double cabins, a fully equipped galley, a comfortable interior saloon, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, in short, everything you need for a pleasant family cruise.
And they have that little extra something that is always a real plus point; as soon as the wind picks up, whether in light, medium or stiff wind, absolutely no other boat can stand up to it, whatever the water... Racing or cruising-racing, with the family!
