Malö 40 Classic

Malo 40 Classic, a superb high quality yacht from the yard on Orust. Three-cabin version.

Malö 40 Classic is a large 40-foot Orust boat of the absolute highest quality. In Malö's typically modest way of naming their yachts, the Malö 40 Classic is actually 41.5 ft. With the tradional (Classic) stern, incorporating a larger aft deck, this also adds a large aft lazarette, adding even more storage space to this beautiful cruiser. In many ways this gives you the best of both an aft-cockpit boat, with its larger cockpit that is placed lower in the boat, thus more protected and the aft deck typically associated with a center-cockpit boat. The addition of the aft-deck to the already wide and secure deck-areas throughout this boat, adds to the comfort and security when on deck. The wide and secure decks are laid with teak in the Orust-tradition, both beautiful to the eye and providing secure footing in any condition.

The cockpit has the by now legendary targa-arch, providing a secure and technically clever solution for the main-sheet, while at the same time providing a solid support for both the spray-hood and the cockpit-tent. With this arrangement, the cockpit can really be used in any weather without negatively impacting the feeling of space as well as the 360 degree view.

This Malö 40 has the desirable extra of having the three cabin layout, providing superb flexibility for the larger family, for entertaining guests, or any combination thereof. The aft cabins are extraordinary large with full standing height and a sense of space and light.

As always on a Malö, the woodwork is of the utmost quality. The tactile feeling of touching handles and grabrails alone makes you never want to go ashore. Absolutely no short-cuts or rationalising steps in order to cut corners or save time have been used, this is the art of boat-building of the highest level. Tried and tested solutions everywhere, coupled with the best suppliers of equipment found by Malö, adds to both the pride of ownership as well as the feeling of comfort and safety aboard a Malö.

The main saloon is very spacious, with a flexible seating and dining arrangement to port, and the luxurious arrangement with double arm-chairs and a bar to starboard.

In line with the rest of the boat, the galley is both spacious and practical. The heads with a shower is also designed with the best material, ensuring both beauty and practicality.

There is an electric windlass both in the bow and at the stern, a strong engine from Yanmar, beautiful winches from Andersen etc, the list just goes on and on.

Present owner has upgraded the boat with new sprayhood, cockpit extension, new bronze through hulls and a new toilet.

A throughout excellent yacht! Check out the test in Cruising World https://www.cruisingworld.com/sailboats/malo-40-designed-distant-horizons/ and check the video from when the present owner bought her in 2020.
