Mummery 40 Cruising Yacht – Forever
Forever is a well-proven 1980 Mummery 40, purpose-built for offshore cruising and proudly showcasing Kiwi craftsmanship. Constructed from triple skin Kauri, her interior is a standout feature — warm, durable, exposed timber shows off her Kiwi heritage.
She’s powered by a Volvo Penta 40 (approx. 2,300 hours), offering reliable motoring when needed. Her aluminium sloop rig, paired with a Windpilot self-steering system, makes her ideal for short-handed sailing and long-distance cruising. The sails are in good condition, and her layout is functional and sea-kindly.
Forever comes equipped with a solid range of safety gear, giving peace of mind whether you’re planning a coastal hop or bluewater voyage. She’s a genuine offshore-capable yacht with the right blend of character, strength, and simplicity. Her liferaft expired in 2021 but, aside from that and a new set of flares she is ready to sail conform to safety requirements.
This is a rare opportunity to own a classic NZ-built cruiser with real pedigree. Whether you’re looking to sail the Pacific or enjoy life aboard in local waters, Forever is ready to go.
Located in Marsden Cove Marina, Northland and ready for her next chapter.
