Designed and first launched in 1980, this distinctive 40-footer represents a classic approach to blue water cruising with its robust cutter rig configuration and substantial displacement design. With only eight hulls ever constructed by various builders, the Creekmore 40 stands as a rare gem in the sailing world, appealing to discerning cruisers who value traditional seaworthiness over mass production conveniences. The boat's impressive displacement of 24,000 pounds combined with a moderate sail area creates a stable, comfortable platform ideally suited for extended offshore passages. Its excellent comfort ratio of 31.79 reflects the designer's emphasis on livability at sea, while the conservative capsize screening formula of 1.88 indicates exceptional stability and safety margins for serious ocean cruising. The cutter rig provides excellent sail handling versatility, particularly valuable when managing varying wind conditions during long passages. Built with fiberglass construction and featuring a fin keel configuration, this design strikes an effective balance between traditional cruising virtues and reasonable performance. The hull's proportions suggest a seakindly motion and predictable handling characteristics that experienced cruisers appreciate. For sailors seeking a proven offshore cruiser with traditional values and exceptional seaworthiness, the Creekmore 40's rarity only adds to its appeal among knowledgeable blue water enthusiasts.
