The Psaros 40 is a racing sailing yacht , the first of which was built in 2002. It was designed for sailing regattas such as the Bol d'Or on Lake Geneva .
The sailor and boat builder Jean Psarofaghis, who became Swiss Champion and Vice World Champion in the boat class “ 5.5 JI ”, developed this boat class together with Sebastien Schmidt (SebSchmidt design office). The name Psaros 40 is composed of Psarofaghis and the length of 40 feet . The Psaros 40 is being built by the Chantier Naval Psaros shipyard in Vésanez near Geneva . The hull is manufactured by Maxi Dolphin in Erbusco ( province of Brescia ). Five copies were built by the end of 2008.
The ship is characterized by a hydraulic swivel keel and variable water ballast (2 × 450 liters). As a result, the proportion of ballast in the keel can remain relatively low, which results in a lighter overall weight of the entire ship. The ship can be mastered with a relatively small crew. Six to eight people are required on regattas, depending on external conditions, to fill all positions.
