Overview

2004 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40 | Windancer

Windancer is a beautifully maintained example of the highly regarded Wauquiez 40 Pilot Saloon, a premium bluewater cruiser designed for comfort, safety, and effortless performance. Built to cross oceans and bring you safely home, she embodies the best of French craftsmanship and practical design.

Her solid fibreglass hull, deep fin keel with bulb, and powerful, easy-to-manage sail plan make Windancer a yacht you can rely on when conditions get tough. The rig was renewed in 2024, with all running rigging replaced, so you can set sail with confidence. Andersen winches, including an electric winch, ensure sail handling is a breeze, even short-handed.

On deck, the protected centre cockpit provides excellent visibility and shelter. All lines are led aft, so you can reef, trim, or furl without leaving the security of the helm. Step below and you'll find a bright, welcoming raised saloon with panoramic views that connect you to your surroundings. The interior is cleverly laid out for long-term cruising, with a generous master cabin aft, a comfortable VIP cabin forward, and two bathrooms, each with electric heads and showers, for liveaboard comfort.

Windancer is set up for extended independence at sea. Her 820W solar array, smart Victron charging system, and deep-cycle AGM batteries mean you'll rarely need to run the Honda portable generator. The EchoTech watermaker delivers 60 L /Hr, supporting showers, cooking, and long stretches away from marinas.

Her navigation and safety equipment are comprehensive, including twin Raymarine chartplotters, radar, AIS, autopilot, and Icom VHF. The 55hp Volvo diesel, with new alternator and meticulous service history, paired with a feathering KiwiProp, offers dependable propulsion when needed.

At anchor, the Rocna anchor, 80m of chain, and Maxwell windlass provide peace of mind, while the 2.7m RIB with electric outboard makes shore trips easy.

Windancer is more than just a yacht, she's a proven, safe platform for adventure. Whether you're dreaming of crossing oceans or coastal cruising, she's ready. Get in touch today and see for yourself why Windancer could be your perfect next boat.
