Red Beans | Simpson 40 40ft

About

Red Beans is just back from a winter in the Bahamas!This 3 cabin/2 head boat is ready to go cruising again.Over the past 18 years, the current owner has made several trips on Red Beans from his hometown in NY to Exuma.He spent many of those years living aboard Red Beans in the Exumas. Since returning to NY the owner has been removing his personal items and making the boat tidy.Red Beans is ready to start your next adventure!

Red Beans is a great cruising catamaran that offers a balance of live aboard comfort with sailing performance.An air draft of 57 allows transit of the ICW, but also enough sail area to power the boat in light winds. The sail wardrobe consists of a new full batten main sail, roller furling head sails (recently reconditioned), stay sail, and a spinnaker.Two large anchors, a powerful windlass, and lots of chain/rode keep this cat safely anchored in strong blows.The cockpit is secure, yet comfortable and is an ideal place to keep kids or pets safe while sailing.There is a new bimini providing plenty of shade.A BBQ and plenty of seating makes the cockpit a great place to lounge while at anchor.Rounding out the exterior are secure davits with integrated solar panels and wind generator that hold the RIB with 15hp outboard.

Red Beans interior offers a beautiful combination of natural light, varnished wood, and opening hatches/ports for ventilation.The bridge deck cabin offers large U shaped seating with ample table space to feed the crew plus guests.To starboard is a navigation area that provides a large chart table, vhf, and electrical panel.

The port hull has a single cabin aft, galley amidships, master cabin forward, and head in the bow.Of note is the large stainless food prep area and sink, 3 burner propane cooktop and oven.The galley is a great space for those who enjoy eating well while living afloat!

The starboard hull has a utility room aft that houses the hot water heater, inverter, charger, and space for tool storage. Amidships is a large workspace and plenty of storage for spares.Forward is a master cabin and head/shower in the bow.

Although not common on this side of the world, Simpson is a highly regarded naval architect from Australia.Simpson Designs are known to produce practical yet efficient multihulls.The hulls are constructed via the strip plank method using Durakore, System 3 Epoxy, and 18oz bi-directional fiberglass.The original owner/builder sold the boat after a trip to the Bahamas and local use to the current owner.Red Beans has been lovingly cared for over the past 18 years by the current owner.Putting his baby on the market is weighing heavy on his heart, but grandkids and homes in NY and the Bahamas require his attention.Dont miss this special opportunity to sail away on a ready to go cruising cat!
