Owners comments (Spring 2018)
A very rewarding boat to sail, to take pride in and to own. She has provided great pleasure for me, my guests and for others. A fast responsive cruising boat that brings a smile to ones face as she powers close hauled up – wind, leaving others in her wake. Great pedigree, so she is not afraid to indulge in friendly competitive events as many of the 700 plus fleet of First 40.7s do.
My own physical limitations however prevent me from now being able to enjoy her fully. Frankly she is wasted on me! QUINTA needs to find a new home with those who will cherish her as I have done.
She is in great shape, ready for the next 10 years of her life.
