My last Survey in Missalongi, Preveza before heading back to Samos is this very popular American boat with traditional styling, a small mast behind the bridge, she has a straightforward aft cabin layout, the Mainship 40 was built on a solid glass hull with average beam 14' and fairly high freeboard. She has a old-fashion downeast profile, her performance and interior accommodation is similar to those of a modern motor yacht. The salon is particularly spacious, there's a convenient breakfast bar, which takes up little space. Both staterooms are arranged in the conventional manner. There is a tub/shower fitted in the aft head! Outside, the aft deck guest seating is provided aft of the helm. The Mainship 40 will cruise at a respectable 12 knots with 200-hp Perkins diesel engines.

| The laminate of the hull bottom begins with a 20-mil gelcoat, followed by two layers of 1.5-ounce mat and a combined five layers of 24-ounce woven roving and mat. Fiberglass-encapsulated marine plywood stringers and bulkheads provide support. Her hull sides and exterior decks are cored with balsa. Fuel is carried in two aluminum tanks outboard of the engines. |
Surveyors comments: If you have earned the right to slow down, the Mainship 400 Trawler would be an ideal choice for exploring the Greek islands. She is up for sale and the owner will look at sensible offer around 35,000 Euros. Cheap!! Drop me an email for more detail: info@yachtsurveysgreece.com
