Avance 40 sold by Yeoman Yachts:

MCINTOSH

The Avance 40 was built in Finland and very close to the Nautor’s Swan and Baltic yards. Designed by the famed Sparkman and Stephens naval architects the Avance 40 looks remarkably like the Swans, also designed by Sparkman and Stephens, of the same era.

Originally commissioned in 1984, McINTOSH was sailed around Cape Cod and adjacent islands. In 1990 she was sold. Then in 2015 the present owner purchased McINTOSH and the boat immediately went to Yachting Solutions in Rockland, Maine, for a large refit. Details of the refit are listed below.

With the recent refit and the exceptional care and attention the present owners have lavished on McINTOSH she is in astonishing condition, especially given her age.

Any discriminating buyer for McINTOSH will be well impressed with her and a viewing is highly recommended.
