Gozzard 41

Designed by Ted Gozzard and built by North Castle Marine in Canada starting in 1986, this 41-foot cutter represents classic blue water cruising design philosophies. The long keel configuration and substantial 23,500-pound displacement create a seaworthy platform that prioritizes stability and tracking over speed, making it well-suited for extended offshore passages and serious cruising. The cutter rig provides versatile sail handling options, particularly valuable when dealing with changing weather conditions during long passages. With a beam of 13 feet and draft of 5.25 feet, the boat offers reasonable interior volume while maintaining good sailing characteristics. The generous ballast-to-displacement ratio contributes to strong stability, while the conservative sail area keeps the boat manageable in heavy conditions. The impressive comfort ratio of 32.21 reflects the boat's motion characteristics in seaway conditions, suggesting a stable, comfortable ride that reduces crew fatigue during extended sailing. The low capsize screening value of 1.82 indicates excellent stability and resistance to knockdown, a crucial safety factor for offshore work. While not designed for racing, this solidly-built fiberglass yacht excels as a capable passage-maker that prioritizes safety, comfort, and reliability over pure performance.
