Shpountz 44-40,

Description

The Shpountz 44-40 is a classic gaff-rigged wooden schooner designed by Daniel Bombigher (with some plans associated with Hervé Coutand) as part of the distinctive Shpountz series of bluewater cruising "marine homes." The name "Shpountz" comes from an old gypsy term for a wise fool who understands the winds, and the "44-40" is a playful reference (not literal feet or measurements). These boats emphasize comfort at sea, ease of handling by a small crew, shallow draft for gunkholing, and long-distance passage making.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
