Evolving from the hugely popular and successful Admiral 38, the Admiral 40 boasts substantially increased internal volume, headroom and convenient and functional flat decks. Her increased forward vision, wider hulls, luxurious interior make for a comfort and functionality level that is unsurpassed and ready to take you anywhere in the world. 2007 Boat of the Year at the Cape Town boat show.

A mast height of 63.5 FT allows for bridge clearance on the ICW for those occasional times when the crew is not interested in the roughest of seas. In the spacious cockpit, the helmsman’s station and comfortable double bench are to starboard and are well protected from spray peeling off the bows at higher speeds. These boats have the ability to handle long passages and ocean crossings in safely and comfortably.

Celtic Yachts bought the molds and rights to manufacture the Admiral 38 and 40 in 2011.  The new owner, Tim Duncan, has had a life-long interest in sailing and mucking about in boats. In 2001, he purchased an Admiral 38 hull, deck and bulkheads from then Admiral Yachts and fulfilling a lifelong dream, launched Songbird in 2001. Since then Tim continues to be inspired to build solid, beautiful boats. While completing Songbird, Tim saw the opportunity to build quality interiors for boats. This earned him a reputation for producing excellent workmanship and service within the yachting industry.

S/V Time Out is Admiral 40 Executive, 3 cabin owner’s version Catamaran for sale by owner. This is a blue water catamaran which has never been chartered and has had just two owners in her short life.

The owner has outfitted her with EPIRB, life raft, heck…even air conditioning, and then crossed the Atlantic with her. Which clearly demonstrates this boat has the ability to handle long passages safely and comfortably. The helmsperson will appreciate staying warm and dry in this blue water catamaran.

The “Owners Version” features three cabins instead of the typical four berths found in charter boats, with the extra space in the owner’s hull for the larger head with separate shower forward, an office/vanity area amidships, and additional storage as well as double berths. She has 2 large heads with separate enclosed showers one in the guest hull and another in the Owner’s hull. Well maintained owner version cats suit cruisers much better than the 4 cabin charter boat layouts, allowing the boat owners to stretch out in one entire hull.

S/V Time Out is in good shape and ready for new adventures. Click on the above link for boat details.
