Designed by renowned French naval architect Marc Lombard and built by Mc Tec Shipyard in Tunisia, this performance-oriented sailboat represents modern European sailing design at its finest. The Akilaria 40 entered production in 2007 as a sophisticated blend of racing prowess and coastal cruising capability. With its composite construction and fin keel featuring a bulb design paired with dual rudders, this fractional sloop demonstrates serious sailing credentials. The relatively light displacement of 10,251 pounds combined with generous sail area creates an impressive sail area-to-displacement ratio of 42.08, indicating strong performance potential in light to moderate conditions. The dual rudder configuration enhances control and reduces weather helm, particularly beneficial when sailing at aggressive heel angles. Marc Lombard's design philosophy shines through in the boat's sleek profile and efficient hull shape, achieving a theoretical hull speed of 8.47 knots. The deep 9.84-foot draft and substantial ballast ratio provide excellent stability for offshore passages, while the low comfort ratio of 11.03 reflects the boat's performance-first orientation rather than traditional cruising priorities. This sailboat appeals most to experienced sailors seeking spirited coastal cruising with occasional offshore capability, or those interested in club racing with comfortable accommodations for extended sailing adventures.
