Tradewinds T40 Performance Cruiser Sailboat
“Khulula” (To Run Free in Zulu) is a 40ft Performance Cruiser sailboat designed by Chad Turner of Costa Mesa, California. Chad designed many Swans and Khulula has both the incredibly sleek lines and phenomenal sailing performance of a Swan 40. We have not come across a quicker 40ft cruising boat, which still is extremely comfortable to sail and live aboard. After owning the boat for 4.5 years and completing a circumnavigation of the world in her, we need are looking for someone to take her back out to sea.
For images, take a look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/30272500@N00/sets/72157625038211835/. All items have been reinforced and strengthened for serious offshore cruising. Khulula has just undergone a major refit after completing circumnavigation in 2010.
