Summit Yachts has announced the start of construction of the first of the new Summit 40’s. This new model will be an evolutionary advancement over the highly successful King 40. With a new keel, and rudder design by Mark Mills, we will incorporate lessons learned from over 100 successful races worldwide.

The rig will be upgraded to an all carbon Southern Spars rig. Other subtle design changes will make this a better all around boat. The 40 is being built alongside the new Summit 35 in Florida, and will complete in time for its debut at the Newport International Boat Show.
