The Irwin 41 Citation is an American sailboat that was designed by Ted Irwin as a racer and first built in 1982. The design was bases on a custom boat designed by Irwin, named Razzle Dazzle, which won the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC) in 1982. [1] [2]

Contents

The Irwin 41 Citation is sometimes confused with the Irwin 41, a cruising sailboat design also introduced in 1982. [3] [4]

Production

The design was built by Irwin Yachts in the United States. A total of four boats were built, starting in 1982, but it is now out of production. [1] [5]

Design

The Irwin 41 Citation is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 17,500 lb (7,938 kg) and carries 9,500 lb (4,309 kg) of lead ballast. [1]

The boat has a draft of 7.25 ft (2.21 m) with the standard keel fitted. [1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 30 hp (22 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal). [1]

The design has an aft cockpit for steering, but also has a center crew cockpit, separated by a structure that mounts the mainsheet traveler and ventilation intakes for below decks. The companionway ladder is at the front of the center cockpit. [1]

The design has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin both with pilot berths above them and an aft cabin with a double berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located on the starboard side in the aft cabin, with a second door from the navigation station. [1]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club, the Irwin Yacht Owners. [6]
