Description
Leno is a proven Chatham 40 aluminum cruising yacht designed by the renowned French naval architect Gilbert Caroff, a designer celebrated for creating robust, seaworthy vessels capable of true blue-water passagemaking. Built by her knowledgeable owners in Quebec and launched in 2019, Leno was conceived with a single purpose: to be a dependable, go-anywhere world cruiser.
Constructed in aluminum for strength, safety, and ease of repair anywhere in the world, Leno combines offshore capability with shoal-draft versatility thanks to her centerboard configuration—ideal for both ocean passages and shallow anchorages.
Design & ConstructionThe Chatham 40 is known for its powerful hull form, balanced proportions, and conservative design philosophy—hallmarks of Caroff’s work. Leno’s aluminum construction offers exceptional durability, impact resistance, and peace of mind for long-distance cruising. Her centerboard design allows confident offshore performance while retaining access to remote anchorages and thin-water cruising grounds.
Finished in dark blue Awlgrip, her hull presents a striking, purposeful appearance that turns heads in any harbor while remaining timeless and understated.
Cruising HistoryFollowing completion, Leno embarked on the adventure she was built for. She cruised extensively in the Caribbean, transited the Panama Canal, and continued north along the Pacific coast to British Columbia—a testament to her seaworthiness, comfort, and reliability in a wide range of conditions.
This real-world cruising history sets Leno apart. She is not a dockside project or a lightly tested yacht—she is a proven passagemaker.
Current StatusDue to changing life circumstances, the owners have made the difficult decision to offer Leno for sale. She is well-sorted, thoughtfully built, and ready to depart for her next adventure with confidence.
