It's an incredible boat that's fun to sail. She is well laid out and the quality of the interior woodwork is incredible. Plus, they put some neat artistic designs in, like the curve of the bookshelves and the cabinet doors. Overall, a beautiful, well laid out, comfortable oceangoing vessel. If you truly go look at Passport's, remember that they are custom on the interior. The two major variations are: V-Berth forward, head just aft of the v-berth on the port side (our boat and preferable for being at sea in), and head forward (in the v - making it horrible while underway) with a pullman berth just aft (nice due to large dressing area). Once you move aft, there are a few variations of how the nav station is laid out, and whether there is a second day head onboard (like on ours)...

If we buy the Hallberg-Rassy 53 (offer in on it now) our Passport 40 will be for sale shortly! Too bad it's such a trip from where you are
