It has a large fuel and water capacity plus space for a deep freezer. Being of full displacement it is also an economical passage maker and is quite capable of crossing oceans safely and surely.

It can be built in either steel or fiberglass .... One PCF 40 recently motor sailed from Australia to UK and on to Ireland !


Hello Bruce, Just to keep you posted. We are the proud  new owners since early September 2015 of the PCF 40 of Claude Charland that you show on your site. 

The boat is in steel, and was built in Quebec in 1979.  The Engine was is a new John Deer 80 HP installed in 2002, with very few hours to date. 

I owe a big respect to Claude Charland the previous owner who sold it to us for the fantastic restauration work that he did by himself.

Here attached are some pictures showing the beautifull quality of work. Pictures 2 and 3 is the way she was 3 years ago. All the other pictures is the way she looked went we bought her.

We plan to take her on part of the American Great Loop, starting this June.

We are so happy, beautiful Design that we have searching for years.  Flavio Patuelli

The PCF 40 is one of my favourite boats and makes an ideal family motor sailer. The hull is based on a trawler design that we built in the 1970's and as with all well designed trawler hulls - this is a great sea boat.

Note that the PCF 40 will accept a variety of rigs.  This is a well proven trawler hull that can cross oceans !

HI Bruce, 
I would like to say that as a total amateur I found the whole experience a very rewarding project with result that is a boat at a fraction of what she would have cost built by others. Hopefully she will also give my wife and I many years of happy boating. 

The professional help was limited to a minimum but what was done professionally was the welding together of the STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES in a Kent boatyard,

The design and install of the rig and the same for the sails.  Apart from that my wife and I did everything ourselves.  Sorry no, we had the upholstery professionally done as well.  All the very best and thank you for your interest.

We have found our  Absolutely fantastic.  My wife and I really are living the dream. 

When we sailed her from the east coast round to our berth on the river Exe, about 300 miles, our skipper, a very experienced sailor, commented many times what a great boat she was. 

He made the comment one day that although he wouldn’t do it by choice, if he were caught out in a force 9 at any time he would be confident of the boats sea keeping abilities to get home safe and sound.

Best regards Keith.

Bruce, looking through your web site I had a pleasant surprise to find my PCF 40 photo's shown. If for any reason you would like further information or photo's please do not hesitate to contact me.

I recently, (Easter 2006) spent 5 days on board "MOJO II" heading towards Townsville, 25 to 30 knot wind and 2 to 3m seas, and she handled it with ease.

I have found the boat very sea worthy and economical after travelling from Sydney to the Whitsunday's ( about 1200 nm ) where it now resides, and is used for family holidays.  Warren Goddard

The PCF 40 is flush deck forward making for easy anchor handling and plenty of space to stow the dinghy etc.

Hi Bruce, I recently purchased a PCF40 after recovering the boat from a reef on Guam, where it had been aground for about 6 years. We are in the process of bringing her back to sea worthy condition.

The boat's name is the Pearl. She was originally built in Papua New Guinea in 1978 and has crossed the Pacific four times over her past life. She was used primarily as a small cargo transport between the Pacific Islands.

I don't have the original drawings or specs on the boat (other than what's on the website). All of the paperwork, manuals, and it looks like the original boat plans were lost when she went aground.

What I'm looking for is info on the design water line and recommended ballast weight and placement. Is this information available on line or will I need to purchase the full set of boat plans

Bruce replies: WE SENT A SET OF boat plans WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS !
