10/2008 –

The latest creation from Absolute made its debut at the 2008 Festival de la Plaisance.

In the wake of its successes around the world, Absolute is renovating its fleet with the Absolute 40’. The hallmarks of this new vessel are its racing spirit, elegance, comfort, and ease of navigation. All at the highest levels.

The exterior design is an alluring mix of curves and sharp angles, which give the vessel a harmonious yet resolute profile. The hardtop, with its sunroof and ample glazing, ensures privacy while making the main deck extremely bright. The generously sized bridge offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sea to the full. As well as having two large sun-pad areas forward and aft, the Absolute 40’ is also at least one foot wider than her competitors, and this makes a notable difference to ease of manoeuvre both on deck and below. As well as having a layout designed to make life on board a pleasure at all times, the interiors are also very bright. This is achieved by having portholes on both topsides, and by using American oak and mirrorfinish internal glazing in the dinette.

The perfectly designed and crafted details, and the use of the finest materials, clearly show that this is a yacht with a degree of focus on the interiors that can normally be found only on larger vessels. And indeed many of the most successful solutions, such as the modified bridge, with the colours and details of the rest of the fleet, have been adopted from the larger yachts in the Absolute range.

This attention to the quality of life on board is perfectly reflected in that of navigation, which is always safe and comfortable at both low and high speeds. The agility and precision of the hull design can immediately be sensed in its rapid response when changing course. The performance of the new model is also given by either of two engines: a 330 HP Volvo Penta D6 and a 300 HP D4.

This new unit reveals how Absolute intends to maintain its leading position also in the Express Courier category, repeating the success of the Absolute 39.
