A serious offshore racing yacht with genuine versatility, this Hick 40 offers the rare ability to be raced competitively with the crew numbers that suit your campaign. Carefully developed in recent years for double-handed racing, the yacht is exceptionally well prepared and fully up to date, having successfully completed the most recent Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
Every aspect of the boat has been thoughtfully refined and maintained in preparation for offshore competition, creating a true turn-key racing package ready for immediate use.
This Hick 40 has been specifically configured to deliver performance, reliability and manageable sail handling for modern offshore racing. The sail inventory is extensive and highly competitive.
The yacht features a carbon mast with rod rigging replaced in 2022, followed by a further mast-out inspection completed in May 2025. A carbon bowsprit with twin tack lines was fitted new in 2023, and a carbon whisker pole is also aboard. The hydraulic backstay was serviced in December 2025.
The overall setup reflects a yacht that has been continuously maintained and professionally prepared for serious racing.
The electronics package is comprehensive and race-ready, centred around the highly regarded B&G H5000 system. This setup provides excellent navigation, communication and performance monitoring capability for offshore racing.
Below decks, the interior is lightweight, functional and designed around offshore practicality. Accommodation includes six pipe cots and four saloon settee berths. The navigation station is positioned centrally aft of the engine for practical offshore use. The galley features a custom twin Jetboil gimballed cooker system, icebox, and heavy-duty 12V fridge. Forward is a manual marine toilet.
This Hick 40 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a fully developed offshore race yacht without the time and expense required to prepare one from scratch. Fast, refined and extensively updated, she is ready for her next campaign.
