Construction Crossbow 40 Centre Cockpit Cutter built in Cape Town, South Africa by Ocean Bound Yachts 1991 designed by Angelo LavranosGRP hull, deck & structureGRP & teak deck¾ lead encapsulated fin keelSkeg hung rudderWheel SteeringHull Copper Coated 2017 Information direct from designer Angelo Levranos: "Twenty three were built, and most have been used for live-aboard distance cruising.The deck was designed as a solid glass laminate with stringers.The hull shell laminate ranges from 3000 gr/sqm (dry wt) in the topsides to over 7000 gr/sqm along the entire centre line and keel areas.The shell is supported by closely spaced longitudinal stringers, transverse floor webs, and bulkheads.” The boat had several builders (successively) who each built around 6 boats. Ton Cup yachts called her the Silver Dawn 39, Knysna Yachts the L39, Crossbow Yachts and Ocean Bound Yachts called her the Crossbow 40. The first one was actually moulded in the early eighties. Until she was known as the Crossbow the boat was 39 ft LOA. A stern platform was added to the Crossbow version. Almost all were sold as completed Hull, Deck & bulkhead units, so that the owners used 3rd party contractors to fit them out, so they are variable in finish.

It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear. Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
