The Dreist 40 is a cruiser / racer yacht with emphasis on the racing aspect while at the same time maintaining all minimum commodities in the interior of the boat.

It’s perfect for owners who want to participate (and win!) in inshore and offshore regattas and being able to take the family for a spin without having to change anything in or on the boat.

Because of the great stability and manoeuvrability it’s a good handling yacht, easily sailable even single-handedly. In full race-trim and with a crew of 8, the optimal heeling angle of 17° is perfectly maintainable even in higher winds.

With a length-displacement ratio of 125, it’s a high performing sail yacht, able to plane thanks to the high stability and large bowsprit and use of asymmetrical spinnakers.
