2022 Schaefer 400 - Test Drive

Join me for a fast test drive around a windy and choppy Sydney Harbour on an unusually cold December day. The swell was running at 4m this day so no point showing you in exposed water as that would be silly. So instead we discovered all the other aspects to the performance of this diesel powered 40ft Sports Yacht from Brazil! With one of the best transom platforms and cockpit layouts for being social and having entertaining days on the water this Schaefer 400 is what more people dream about when they think about themselves enjoying the Sydney Boat Life. Discover this boat from bow to stern with me and see what you think of this new arrival from Brazil.
