Details
The Celtic 40, previously known as the Admiral 40, is a robust Bluewater catamaran engineered to endure challenging open ocean conditions. Beyond its offshore capabilities, Celtic Yachts are designed to be easily managed by a small crew while providing excellent sailing performance and a comfortable living environment. Notable enhancements to the Celtic 40 include a redesigned helm station that facilitates ease of short-handed sailing, a new davit platform, a molded bimini ceiling, redesigned heads, more generously sized forward and aft cabins, increased locker space, extended salon seating, and a wider sliding door opening.
Constructed in South Africa, RONIN was sailed directly from the manufacturing facility to the United States by Tim Duncan, the owner and designer of Celtic Yachts. Her second owners acquired her new at a boat show and subsequently enjoyed several years of cruising on the Chesapeake Bay. Upon acquisition by her current owner, RONIN was equipped for Bluewater sailing, and she subsequently spent two years cruising the Caribbean. If you are considering Leopard catamarans, we encourage you to also consider RONIN. She offers comparable build quality and presents an exceptional value.

Accommodations
Cockpit / Deck
The remarkable amount of indoor and outdoor space afforded by a catamaran presents a significant advantage over a monohull. Beyond the expansive cockpit, the foredeck, featuring large trampolines and integrated seating, creates an ideal setting for enjoying evening sunsets. The wide and open side decks facilitate an unobstructed passage from the bow to the stern, even while the vessel is underway. The redesigned davit platform makes boarding the dinghy easy and enhances the flow of movement within the cockpit. This configuration is particularly well-suited for accommodating large groups or those traveling with pets. The starboard helm offers excellent forward visibility and a clear view of all corners of the vessel during docking maneuvers.
