1958 Wirth Munroe 40'

Pirouette’s History: This vintage beauty, Pirouette, has been lovingly refitted. She is a true classic and she’s ready to set sail!

Pirouette is looking for new owners to enjoy her as a cruiser-racer. She would also be the perfect yacht for island hopping cruisers wishing to explore, enjoying sunsets and cocktails from her deck during their Caribbean adventure. She is priced to sell and her quality build will truly stand out amongst all that plastic out there!

Her beginnings were with the Munroe family of Coconut Grove Florida. Her original build plans, photos of her restoration in 2012, and all her records come with the boat. She was originally strip plank built by Miami Shipbuilding Co., (PT boat builders), bead and cove 1.75" x 2" mahogany glued, and bronze nailed. Originally, she had polyester skin but now has new modern epoxy skin. Her Swing centerboard and long overhangs distinguish her as a fast classic and her brightwork (epoxy glued mahogany on cabin sides and transom) are reminders of a bygone era. The current owner, a boat builder himself, has lovingly given her all the attention to detail she deserves, right down to modern Awlwood MA finishes. She has been boat builder owned for the past 20+ years.

Interior & Exterior

Pirouette’s layout includes a Captains bunk midship, V-berth forward, and settee that can convert to a large bed. She is able to sleep 6 comfortably. The Galley along starboard side is followed by a quarter berth if needed. To the opposite side aft is the head. Two steps down into her cabin makes her interior a breeze to access. She has a low, dry cockpit and a clipper bow with trail boards.  Two bronze ballerinas dance at each side of her hull at the bow sprit.
