About the CMS 41
The CMS 41 is a 41.0 ft cutter designed by Jay R. Benford and built by Hailex International (TAIWAN) in 1979. With a displacement of 26000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 31.89, this vessel is characterized as a heavy, stable cruiser, though the exact number of hulls built remains unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, heavy-displacement platform for protected waters, given its significant beam of 14.0 ft and high displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.89 and a displacement of 26000.0 lb, the CMS 41 possesses the physical stability for offshore passage making, though its single production year and limited build history suggest caution regarding long-term structural data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other late-1970s heavy-displacement cutters such as the Tartan 41 or O'Day 40, which share similar beam dimensions and cruising-oriented hull forms.
