The Warrior 40 stands as a pinnacle of British bluewater yacht design, representing a refined evolution of Trident Marine’s earlier Angus Primrosepenned successes. Introduced in the late 1980s, the Warrior 40 was designed by Bill Dixon, who sought to marry the legendary seakindliness of the earlier 35footers with modern performance expectations and increased internal volume. While the smaller 35s were characterized by traditional long keels, the Warrior 40 transitioned to a more contemporary longfin keel and a substantial skeghung rudder. This configuration maintained the directional stability required for ocean crossings while significantly improving maneuverability and windward performance. Built to Lloyd’s specifications, these vessels were marketed to serious longdistance cruisers who demanded a "belt and braces" approach to construction. The hull is a thick, solid laminate of GRP, and the deck is typically a balsacored sandwich, though highload areas are reinforced with solid glass.
