2004 Sloop Centerline 40

Centerline 40 – 2005 – Unique Super-fast Blue Water Cruiser ready to go long passages. EU VAT Paid

Cruising the Oceans in 15+ knots on a super updated and well equipped Scandinavian designed Cruising Racer. Centerline 40 designed by the Danish designer Kjeld Nielsen. This stable cruiser has been upgraded the last couple of years with all you need for a blue water cruise. You may compare performance with Pogo 36 - Pogo 45, J/45 or JPK, but with much more comfort onboard and even a protected Cockpit for those longer passages as a true cruiser such as extendable Sprayhood, cockpit tent and twin wheel steering platforms. She has been designed so everything can be handled from Cockpit and can even be sailed single handed when needed. The current owner clocked up to 20 knots from time to time when sailing from Denmark to Portugal and Spain this year.

Not only do you get a real performance cruiser, but at the same time super comfort and also that large cockpit you want when cruising in warmer weather and enjoy life in wonderful anchorages in either the Mediterranean or why not in the Caribbean.

This Centerline from 2005 has its Master Cabin as the forward Cabin with plenty of storage and closets and in the aft you have two nice large double cabins for guests or storage.  On the port side a nice bathroom with toilet and closets. Shower outside on the aft platform or cockpit.

The large salon with a large U-shaped sofa that easily fits 6 people around the large table and have a roof height of 185 cm. The kitchen, in full length of the salon is huge and give plenty of space for more people to work at the same time. Nice refrigerator in one end and 2-burner stove with oven in the other end. Double sink and lots of space for kitchenware, food and other articles. A practical detail is also the large freezer mounted under the bed in the starboard cabin. Perfect for longer cruises but can of course also be used as an extra refrigerator if so preferred. With the nice windows along the sides as well as the top hatches, the salon is flooded with light and give that roomy large salon feeling you want when inside the boat. Lights are of course LED lighting all over and you even have plenty of 220-volt outlets.

For heating the boat have a Webasto diesel fueled heater with air outlets in all cabins.

There have been 3 owners. The current owner upgraded the boat extensively with Sails, Electronics, Instruments, Radar, Canvas, Dinghy and outboard and lots of other costly upgrades were added during 2022 and 2023, making this yacht ready to go for all kinds of new adventures.

The current owners bought GoodSpeed in Denmark 2021 and now the third owner. A lot of preparation for cruising was done during the first years they had her in Denmark while sailing locally in Scandinavian waters.

During the spring of 2023 the current owners left Denmark for their adventure of Blue Water Cruising. A fantastic cruise from Denmark to Germany and further on into the Standing Mastroute in Holland and further on to Belgium.

Then the English Channel along the French coastline just “flying” in the strong current and with this performance boat a true joy sailing there. Instead of just crossing the Bay of Biscay, they took the much more scenic route along the coastline to Spain and Galicia. A perfect route for a boat like GoodSpeed that perform perfectly even in sometime tougher headwind and challenging sea.

Passing Bilbao, Gijon, A Coruna – sailing to Portugal via Porto, Lisbon and south to the Algarve Coast with great sail on the Atlantic Ocean where it was time to rest for a while.

GoodSpeed is now in Almerimar, Almeria in SpainPortugal on Spanish Medeteranian coast,  – East of Malaga.

The adventurous owners of GoodSpeed fell in love with the channels in Europe after doing the Standing Mastroute in Holland and are now keen on changing the boat to something more suitable for channels instead of a sailboat and therefore want to sell their precious GoodSpeed to someone dreaming about cruising the oceans.

GoodSpeed is registered in Denmark (EU) and have documented EU VAT Paid status.
