Newport 41S

Designed by the renowned C&C Design Group and built by Capital Yachts starting in 1974, this masthead sloop represents solid 1970s sailing yacht engineering with a focus on performance cruising. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling characteristics that made these boats popular among sailors seeking both comfort and sailing ability. With a moderate displacement of 18,000 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, the Newport 41S offers reassuring stability for coastal and offshore passages. The boat's sail area of 750 square feet provides adequate power in light to moderate conditions, while the hull's 30-foot waterline length contributes to a respectable hull speed of 7.34 knots. The comfortable 33.26 comfort ratio suggests good motion at sea, making extended cruising more pleasant for the crew. The fiberglass construction and proven design have helped many of these boats maintain their seaworthiness over the decades. The moderate beam of 11.25 feet balances interior volume with sailing performance, while the 6.25-foot draft provides good upwind ability. Powered by a reliable 35-horsepower engine, these boats handle well under power in tight quarters or calm conditions, making them versatile choices for serious coastal cruisers and occasional offshore sailors.
