Design

[edit | edit source]

The Lancer 40 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a center cockpit, a raked stem, an angled transom, with a fixed swimming platform, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 15,500 lb (7,031 kg) and carries 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 6.30 ft (1.92 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with an inboard motor for cruising, docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 7.77 kn (14.39 km/h).[3]
