Boat Overview
Deck saloon yacht for sale in the UK. Jouet 940 yacht available. This spacious craft features an interesting layout with twin keels and a shoal draft. It includes both internal and external steering positions. The yacht is in excellent order for its year and benefits from in-mast furling and an upgrade to a 29 hp Volvo marine diesel engine in 1997. The hull received an epoxy preventative coating in 1992, and new windows were fitted in 2002. These French-built crafts are well thought out and not often available. Offers near asking price may be considered by the owner.
