details about our CR Yacht 400 DS
yacht (Sail boat)
Our sailboat is CR Yachts 400DS, pilothouse sailboat manufactured by
CR Yachts of Sweden
Our sailboat is powered by a 56 HP Yanmar diesel. With a sail area
of over 740 sq. ft., she cruises at a comfortable 7 knots. We chose
the CR 400DS sailboat as she runs very smooth with a two-person crew
but is well suited to solo operation if needed. Our vessel is very
spacious inside with a nice layout and out and allows steering from
the aft cockpit or inside from the inside steering/navigation
station or anywhere on the boat by our wireless Raymarine remote
control!
