Nirvana (Beneteau First 40.7)
Nirvana, a 2006 Beneteau First 40.7 performance racer/cruiser, was transported from Antigua to her new home on the West Coast in Spring 2013. She went through an extensive refit with modern marine electronic system installed including B&G chartplotters and displays, AIS system, ready to start to racing again in 2014. Since then Nirvana regularly participates in races such as Southern Straights, Swiftsure, Round Salt Spring Island, Patos Island Classic and Round The County. In 2015 and 2017 Nirvana participated in Van Isle 360, the 580 nautical mile point-to-point race circumnavigating wild and rugged Vancouver Island.
She performs well in both light and strong wind conditions and provides comfortable accommodation for crew with three separate cabins, full kitchen and head. Repowered in 2019, the engine purrs during those rare time when Nirvana's sails are stowed.
