Block Island 40 for sale in Tracy's Landing, Maryland United States of America

This Block Island 40 is located in Tracy's Landing (35 min south of Annapolis). The model was originally designed by Bill Tripp in 1957 and a limited run was built in Rhode Island in the late 1950's and early 1960s. Indigo is the third generation of the BI 40's. Eric Woods of Migrator Yachts obtained the molds in the early 1980's, re-tooled them and built the first hull of this generation in 1985. He updated the design using the same hull shape, but used modern materials to improve strength and cruising comfort. He modernized the centerboard design, added ballast and updated the sail plan, maintaining the yawl rig.

The Block Island 40 is designed for cruising, with plentiful storage, comfortable accommodations, large hatches and many opening ports as well as wide side decks, high toe rails, easy access to winches & travellers from the helm and a safe, comfortable cockpit.
