Cruising World's 2014 Domestic Boat of the Year andBest Midsize Cruiser 39-41ftRare used offering by the 3-Time Blue Jacket Dealer Of The YearCome take a look at the amazing Blue Jacket 40This boat is loaded with options such as A/C, Bow-Thruster, Power Winches...and much more!
In 2014, The Blue Jacket 40 was the first brand new American-built performance cruiser to hit the market in over 30 years. Designed by Tim Jackett with Bob Johnson, N.A., and built by America’s premier yacht builder, Island Packet Yachts, this exciting new yacht comes with a well-earned and distinguished pedigree. Springline Yacht Sales is proud to have received the "Dealer of the Year" award multiple times from Island Packet Yachts
The Blue Jacket 40 was designed by Tim Jackett (Past President and Chief Designer at Tartan and C&C) in collaboration with Bob Johnson (CEO and Chief Designer at Island Packet). With 15 Boat of the Year award- winning designs between them, the Blue Jacket 40 embodies the creativity and broad-based experience these two noted designers have displayed over the past 30 plus years, melding the performance prowess of Jackett with the cruising focus and manufacturing acumen of Johnson and Island Packet.
She has the modern interpretation of a performance cruiser arrangement with the amenities and build quality expected of a luxury sailing yacht. The powerful and versatile Solent-type sail plan features a working jib with self- tending Hoyt Boom® along with a larger overlapping Reacher Sail for use in lighter air. Twin wheels and a large cockpit enhance both sailing and socializing, and all frequently used sail controls are convenient to the cockpit. Construction features 100% vinyl ester resin infused composite cored fiberglass laminates for both hull and deck, fit and finish, materials and equipment selections typify the high standards of Island Packet.
With Island Packet's international acclaim for exemplary product quality, value and its long history of award-winning customer satisfaction coupled with proven performance designs of Tim Jackett, the Blue Jacket 40 represents a bold and important entry into the performance/cruising sailboat market.

The Blue Jacket sports an upwind sail area- displacement ratio (SA/D) of 20. With the working jib furled and the 150% reacher set, this increases to 21.8. Not long ago this kind of horsepower was reserved only for a well-crewed race boat, but the simple and efficient sail handling of the Blue Jacket’s refinement of the Solent rig are changing that, offering maximum performance with ease of use.
The hull form and appendages of the Blue Jacket are designed to work in harmony with the sailplan to provide performance that extends daily sailing range and the potential to generate more race trophies. The hull’s fine entry is good for upwind sailing and the “ V ” shaped forward sections provide comfortable motion in a seaway. Her aft sections are broad and flat with a good amount of overhang to provide excellent downwind speed and upwind sail carrying power. Wetted surface is also reduced, increasing light air performance. This hull shape is carefully “sculpted” for the cruising sailor to avoid the more extreme race boat “wedge” shape’s tendency to become unwieldy when heeled, necessitating large crews to keep the boat in balance. The Blue Jacket hull design balances the wide aft sections with fuller topside sections forward, allowing the boat to heel evenly maintaining excellent control, tracking and seakeeping.
State of the art keel and rudder designs combine advanced low drag, high lift laminar flow foil sections. The two keel choices have integral bulbs at their base to concentrate weight as low as possible for maximum stability and sail carrying power. Finger tip steering delivers sport boat-like response from the high aspect rudder blade set on a composite carbon fiber post. The Blue Jacket’s nimble handling and speed is also a result of a low displacement to length ratio (D/L) of 172, a direct result of advanced technology hull and deck laminates.
The design challenge presented was to create a yacht with a performance pedigree, one that could compete effectively in around-the-buoy and offshore races yet provide a level of comfort, build quality and ease of use that would gratify the entire family. I believe this objective has been successfully achieved in a particularly attractive yacht that’s evolved from a rich history of successful designs.
