Designed by the acclaimed team of Bob Perry and Huntingford, this Canadian-built cruiser emerged from Philbrook's Shipyard in 1975 as a well-balanced offshore sailing yacht. The Ph 41 represents classic 1970s design philosophy, combining seaworthiness with comfortable cruising accommodations in a 41-foot package. Built with fiberglass construction and featuring a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration, the Ph 41 offers excellent directional stability and predictable handling characteristics. The masthead sloop rig provides versatile sail handling options, while the substantial displacement of 16,500 pounds and generous ballast ratio ensure good stability in challenging conditions. With a comfort ratio of 27.22, this yacht leans toward the cruising end of the spectrum rather than racing performance. The boat's moderate sail area to displacement ratio of 23.79 suggests steady, reliable progress rather than lightweight performance, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and longer offshore passages. Bob Perry's influence is evident in the yacht's seakindly hull form and practical deck layout. The Ph 41 appeals to sailors seeking a traditional, well-found cruising yacht with proven ocean-going capabilities and the confidence that comes from time-tested design principles.
