Description
This Viking is a classic design which has been meticulously maintained and upgraded with 2007 Diesels with 950 hours. The boat was moored in a covered slip from purchase thru April 2022.
The Viking 40 Convertible offers versatility and solid construction in a design that’s a good combination for boating families who split their time between coastal cruising and fishing. Add to this a contemporary styling, and the result is an older model appearing years newer than it is.
Over the years Viking has built a reputation as a builder of some of the highest quality yachts in the business. The Viking 40 Convertible is one of the vessels that was the foundation for that reputation, and it is still well regarded by yachtsmen and sport fishermen.
The Viking 40 Convertible is the product of an in-house design team led by Bruce Wilson. It was introduced at the New York Boat Show in 1973 and remained in production until 1982, making it one of the most successful models the company has ever offered. There were 270 Viking 40 Convertibles built between 1973 and 1982, quite a few for a vessel of this class.
Viking 40 hull and decks are constructed entirely of fiberglass composite materials with solid fiberglass laminate bottom and cored hull sides, deck and cabin structures. Structurally, a cored composite behaves like an I-beam in that it gains strength from two flanges separated by a web. Viking was an early pioneer of core composite technology and has an excellent track record with these methods. Problems are rare and most often are caused by inadequate repair of damages or improper installation of hardware and through hull fittings.
The large cabin windows across the forward portion of the main salon have been removed and glassed over to remove the eventual weakening and development of leaks at the windows in favor of a stronger fiberglass structure.

Dave is a Virginia native, and although he grew up in Falls Church, Roanoke and Richmond, by way of his dad’s career as a Methodist minister, he enjoyed summers in North Carolina and became fascinated with sailing in his early 20’s. From his first experience with a Sunfish he rented in Ocean City, MD that got him hooked, to the Flying Scots and J 24s, as well as the Prindle 18 catamaran, to finally owning his own boat, a CAL 35, Dave has sailed around the Chesapeake Bay for over 30 years. He and his wife currently own a Beneteau 411 and they continue to enjoy all the Bay has to offer.
Dave attended both the Annapolis and Chesapeake Bay Sailing Schools and is a member of American Sailing. He loves learning about different boat manufacturers and stays up to date on safety techniques and maintenance requirements and always looks forward to seeing the latest and greatest at the Annapolis Sailboat Show each year. As a business owner for over 20 years, Dave sold furniture to IT and tech firms, several military installations such as the Naval Academy, Aberdeen Proving Ground and NAVSEA, as well as government agencies and local businesses.
His past business experience taught him the importance of what true customer service means and the value of building relationships. Whether you are a first-time buyer navigating your way through the process or an avid boater in the market to sell and upgrade, Dave will work hard to ensure your experience is an exceptional one.
