Visayan 40' Catamaran (V12.2)

Deck Plan

The Visayan 40 deck plan shows the usual huge and useful deck area of our Visayan series designs. In addition to the large flat stern deck area, the wide side decks and forward deck areas are all flat enough for comfortable movement about the boat in harbor or in a bouncing sea. Large deck lockers are available in the forward beam area, and under the aft deck, as well as in the cockpit seating and helm bench seat. All the accoutrements of cruising, spare line, extra anchors, fenders, fishing gear, spare fuel and water containers, and so on, will find themselves properly stowed and out of sight.

A split mainsheet lead to the headsail winches through rope clutches gives excellent mainsail control at minimum cost and clutter. The aft deck area has effectively no cluttering hardware in the way of life aboard in the harbor. While we do not normally bring headsail halyards aft from the rotating mast, all other sailing controls are lead to the aft corners of the cockpit for convenient and safe sail handling.

The 9 foot hard dinghy shown or a smaller inflatable comes aboard easily and rides comfortably underway eliminating any temptation to tow it at sea.

The helmsman and companion enjoy an excellent view from the their shaded and elevated helm bench. The fabric top shades all the seats, and the bench seats are long enough for an afternoon snooze when it just can't be resisted.
