1981 Irwin 40 Citation
Strength, Durability & Performance

Ted Irwin designed and built the Citation 40 that one could easily compare to the Bill Lapworth
designed Cal 40, or the Bob Perry designed Valiant 40, for their Strength, Durability & Performance.
Ted Irwin truly designed one of the top racer/cruiser class of boats with the Citation 40.
This boat design really brings out the best of the older style boats, both in performance and in
looks. Current owner gets many comments about her good looks.
This Irwin 40 is blue water ready with little work needed for your offshore adventures.
Just stepping on to Vayu, you get the sense of how solidly built she is.
Vayu has been rebuilt over the years by a professional boat builder, marine engineer, and
retired yacht surveyor after he purchased her in 2006. After purchasing another boat he is now
ready to move on and let someone else enjoy the efforts of his labor.
Meticulously maintained by the current owner, he has truly done a remarkable job of upgrading
and maintaining Vayu.
There is an immense amount of storage for one that my want to cross oceans or sail the
Caribbean, or take extended cruises away from civilization. Storage has been greatly increased
over that of your average production boat.
