Produced between 1986 and 1991, the Scanmar 40 represents the pinnacle of the Scanmar line, serving as the flagship for the Swedish collaboration between designer Rolf Magnusson and visionary NilsErik Olofsson. With only an estimated 20 units ever constructed by the Börjesson Brothers shipyard, it remains a rare find on the brokerage market, often sought after by experienced cruisers who prioritize Scandinavian build quality and performance over the voluminous, beamier proportions of modern massproduction yachts. The vessel was designed to bridge the gap between a competitive racer and a comfortable bluewater cruiser, featuring a relatively slim hull and a deep canoe body that provides a motion at sea often described as an "easy, loping gait."
