The Newport 41 is a family of American sailboats that was designed by C&C Design as International Offshore Rule (IOR) racer-cruisers and first built in about 1972. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

Production

The design was built by Lindsay Plastics and later by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California, United States. Capital built the various models from about 1972 until the early 1990s, but it is now out of production. [1] [3] [4]

Due to poor surviving documentation, the dates of production and new model introduction are considered to be approximate. [5]

Design

The Newport 41 design was based upon the 1969 C&C Yachts Redline 41 Mark II. The design went out of production in 1972 and C&C sold the molds to Enterprise Yachts who then resold them to Lindsay Plastics who built some boats, and then to Capital Yachts. [5] [6]

The Newport 41 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars, a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, a spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed swept fin keel. [1] [3]

Newport 41S is typical of the models for interior layout. The 41S design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, screened by a curtain, an L-shaped settee with a fold-down dinette table and a straight settee in the main cabin, with an optional pilot berth above, and an aft cabin with a berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner alcohol-fired stove and a sink with manually-pumped fresh water, with manually pumped seawater and pressurized fresh water optional. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a molded fiberglass shower. [3]

Ventilation is provided by an opening port in the head, two translucent deck hatches and two opening ports. There are also four fixed ports. [3]

For sailing, the design is equipped with a mainsheet traveler on the coach house roof. The perforated toerail can be used to mount sheeting blocks for sail control. A jib sheet track, internally-mounted outhaul, boom vang and a spinnaker were all factory options. [3]

Operational history

Darrell Nicholson, editor of Practical Sailor, wrote in a 2003 review, "the N-41 makes an excellent case for the fact that a boat that was designed intelligently and built well in the first place has a good chance of standing the tests of time ... Speed and maneuverability are significant virtues in a cruising boat, and the N-41 has retained them. Sailors who enjoy racing but are less happy about the expense, discomfort, and "to the edge”" design of today's racing boats will find the Newport 41 to their liking." [9]
