Salvation Jane – A ketch-rigged Atlantic 40, mark II, of the highest order! One of only 12 ever built. This beautiful boat has proven cruising capabilities and is seriously for sale with an extensive inventory. Asking £64,950 - offers invited.

The Atlantic 40 was designed by Walter Rayner and Salvation Jane is one of only twelve Mk IIs. She was built in 1978 by FC Mitchell in Poole. LOA 40’, DWL 30’6”, Beam 11’9”, Draught 5’6”, Displacement 10.5 tons, Ballast 8,000 lbs encapsulated. Sail area 600 sq feet, Engine 4 cylinder 80 bhp Mercedes OM314 diesel, Borg Warner 2:1 gear box, Tankage – Fuel 145 gal, Water 130 gal. Part I Registration 375024.

The GRP hull is moulded to full 100 A1 specification under Lloyds Supervision and the boat has proved sea-kindly, is strongly built and is a thoroughly successful cruising yacht.

Her rudder is well placed abaft the large 3-bladed prop (steering is by Whitlock rod gearing and engine control is by Morse single lever) ensuring impressive ship handling under power, although her long keel calls for particular skill when going astern in any breeze.

Deck
Topside safety features include Treadmaster non-slip panels recessed into the deck moulding, a stainless steel pulpit, pushpit, stanchions and 2’5” high guard rails. The deep cockpit is self-draining and the wheelhouse with ¼” toughened glass and spray hood provide splendid protection from the elements, though the opening front window is a blessing in hot weather!

The cockpit has large lockers, port and starboard and a freezer-cum- coolbox to port.

The quarter deck is a good size and is provided with an awning and side curtains for hot climates. It also provides stowage for two full size bikes and the davits take the Avon Redcrest dinghy. The lazarette allows easy access to the steering gear and excellent stowage for ropes etc. emergency tiller steering can be connected to the rudder stock from the quarter deck.
