SIGMA 400 – 1994
A characterful sailing yacht designed by Rob Humphreys, high-performance and perfectly suited to fast cruising
Built in 1994 by Marine Projects, the SIGMA 400 is a sailing yacht designed by the renowned British naval architect Rob Humphreys, known for his high-performance hulls and sailing qualities.
With its 12.27 m length, 3.89 m beam, 2.29 m draft, and particularly comprehensive rigging, this Sigma 400 combines a true cruising capability with a sporty temperament.
Its interior layout prioritizes conviviality and autonomy, featuring three double cabins and seven berths, while retaining the marine and sporty spirit characteristic of Sigma yachts.
A HIGH-PERFORMANCE HULL
The SIGMA 400 benefits from a design focused on performance while remaining suitable for offshore cruising.
• Overall length: 12.27 m
• Beam: 3.89 m
• Draft: 2.29 m
• Polyester hull

• Roller furling genoa, Mylar/Taffeta, fair condition
• Staysail with removable stay
• Symmetrical spinnaker

This configuration offers great versatility, from coastal sailing to more challenging offshore passages.
The presence of a removable stay with a staysail is a real advantage for sailing in strong winds, while the symmetrical spinnaker allows full exploitation of the hull’s qualities on downwind courses.

A SIGMA 400 WITH A MARINE SPIRIT
This SIGMA 400 embodies the qualities that have made this series renowned: a high-performance hull, versatile rigging, polyester construction, and a layout allowing for genuine cruising voyages.
Its sail inventory is particularly noteworthy, featuring a Full Batten mainsail, roller furling genoa, staysail on a removable stay, and a symmetrical spinnaker.
Recent maintenance on the propulsion system, including cleaned heat exchanger and exhaust elbow, new shaft seal and hydrolube ring, as well as a KiwiProp three-blade carbon propeller, is also a key selling point.
The SIGMA 400 is aimed at sailors seeking a 12-metre yacht that is both high-performance, seaworthy, and truly designed for sailing, rather than just a simple cruising boat.
Its Rob Humphreys pedigree, comprehensive sail plan, 2.29 m draft, and navigation equipment make it a particularly appealing yacht for fast cruising, offshore sailing, or crewed passages.
A boat that retains the spirit of 1990s performance yachts while offering a level of accommodation that comfortably allows for cruising.
