The Luffe 4004 is considered to be an exceptional boat; chic, fast and easy to sail, the elegant Danish boat combines the best virtues. The new 40.20 model is intended to continue the 15-year-old concept in its current form. The shipyard has turned a surprising number of screws. Only the shape of the hull and deck are largely unchanged.
However, new negative moulds have been built so that the freeboard can be increased by around five centimetres. This creates more headroom. In addition, a new high-performance T-shaped keel with ballast bomb was constructed and the rudder was redesigned. It is now slimmer but deeper.
The self-tacking jib is still part of the standard equipment. However, a larger genoa with 106 per cent overlap is also possible. Compared to the previous model, the Luffe 40.20 now has two steering wheels and a gennaker nose. A folding bathing platform is also provided. The layout below deck has remained similar. However, the toilet room is now slightly larger and can therefore offer a separate shower area.
The Luffe 40.20 is built as a GRP sandwich construction with a foam core (epoxy as an option) and the hull is reinforced with a laminated steel frame. Prices start at 280780 euros gross for the standard boat with tiller steering.
