COMMENTS: The Avance 40 was built in Finland and is very similar to a Nautor Swan, designed by the famed Sparkman and Stephens naval architects of the same era. Because of the same geographical location, some of the shipwrights that built the Swans, also worked on the Avance 40. You will therefore see many close similarities, not just cosmetically but also structurally. Commissioned in 1984, MCINTOSH was sailed around Cape Cod and adjacent islands.  Then in 2015 the present owner purchased MCINTOSH and the boat immediately went to Yachting Solutions in Rockland, Maine, for an extensive refit. Details of the refit are noted below. Now the family has grown in size, and they have moved up to a larger size. Because of the recent refit and the exceptional care and attention the present owners have lavished on MCINTOSH she is in superb condition, especially given her age. Any discriminating buyer will be impressed by the cosmetic condition, inside and out. Please call this office for your inspection. She will not disappoint.
