Empire 40
The Empire 40 is a 40.75ft masthead sloop designed by Philip Rhodes and built in fiberglass by Cheoy Lee Shipyard between 1964 and 1976.
The Empire 40 is a very heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
