Ankh 40 MkII 40 ft steel cruising yacht design This yacht is to be called the 'Bermuda 40' and will be available soon in kit form. LOA 12.4m LOD 12.0m Breadth 4.5m Draft 2.0m Displacement 14.5 tonne Ballast ratio 43% The boat is specifically designed to be a fast yet comfortable cruising yacht, with accent on seakindliness and sea keeping. The high volume hull has sufficient depth of immersion to ensure the comfort of the crew when below by minimising the distance between the pitch and roll centres of the boat and the centre of gravity of the off watch crew. Good ballast ratio and moderate beam give a powerful boat capable of driving to windward when the conditions deteriorate.
