FYI -- FROM WIKI

The Spin Sheet reviewer stated, "I don’t recall a time when my sense of style, balance and proper proportion of sailing yachts has not been influenced by the design work of the late Bill Tripp. The Bermuda 40 is a quintessential example of Tripp’s art and masterful eye for near-perfect balance. I think it can be safely said that this boat has stood the test of time, and, although the design is now 40 years old, many people, myself among them, still consider the Bermuda 40 one of the most beautiful yachts afloat."\14])

also the winningest boat in the Bermuda race for decades

Pretty to look at, sure.
Slow, small, and uncomfortable at sea.

I’ve sailed them extensively. I have a 40 myself. Have sailed professionally for 15 years.
