Seller's Description
“ORIA” is a beautiful and rare Beneteau 40 that is well-equipped and in exceptional condition with very low engine hours.
This model has the standard keel and upgraded 54hp Yanmar engine with the single large aft cabin (true queen size bed) and huge port cockpit locker for storage (great for inflatable dinghy, life raft, with plenty of room for much more gear).
She has received many recent upgrades by the current owner for extended offshore cruising.
She is certainly among the best Beneteau 40’s on the market today in terms of overall condition and outfitting. I’m sadly selling “ORIA” due to an upcoming relocation to West Coast.
All exterior teak has been finished with CETOL.
Many items on the equipment list have been installed within the last 12 months.
“ORIA” is currently stored on the hard under shrink-wrap for the winter in Branford, CT.
Please Note: The skylight has a slow leak and a new skylight received from Beneteau will be provided for installation by the buyer (1 day job, fairly straight forward).
The boat’s bottom, keel, and rudder are in excellent condition with Micron CSC Bottom Paint.
“ORIA” has never been grounded, and its structural hull grid bonding and keel attachment bolting system is as good as new.
“ORIA” has been extremely well cared for, showing very few signs of its age.
Other Beneteau 40’s have crossed oceans and completed circumnavigations (YouTube “Polar Seal”, “Sailing Beaver”, “Puffin”).
In early 2024, “ORIA” sailed to the Bahamas and up the East Coast cruising New England. She is set up well for long distance solo voyages, if needed.
This is the second Beneteau 40 that I have owned (that’s how much I love this boat).
Serious inquires only please. Not interested in low-ball offers.
Please call me with any questions. Additional photos are available along with sailing videos and a walk-through video of the boat in its current state.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
9.1 kn
Classic: 7.8 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
19.5
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
28.6
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
208.2
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
26.2
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
