About the CORINTHIAN 41
Claimed to be the first fiberglass production multihull built in the US. Ted Irwin's only production multihull design. Similar to Arthur Piver's Victress 40 design, it has been said Irwin consulted with Charlie Morgan, Morgan Yachts, on this design and at the time, Arthur Piver was working for Morgan. All interiors were custom built and vary from boat to boat. Bruce Number: 1.16
The Corinthian 41 is a rare, heavy-displacement ketch designed by Ted Irwin and built by Corinthian Yachts Builders Inc. in the USA from 1965–1993, with only 28 hulls produced. Its authoritative specifications highlight a substantial 14000.0 lb displacement and a 38.5 ft LWL, underscoring its robust, traditional construction.
- Best for:
- This vessel is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and conservative bluewater sailors who prioritize seakworthiness and comfort over speed, benefiting from its high comfort ratio of 7.39 and stable ketch rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 4.24 and a displacement of 14000.0 lb, the Corinthian 41 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Irwin 37 and 40, as they share the same designer's philosophy of heavy displacement and robust construction, though the Corinthian 41 is distinct in its ketch configuration and limited production run.
