The Dehler 41 is a performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Judel / Vrolijk and built by Dehler, with production records indicating a build year of 2010. While the exact hull count is unspecified in available data, this model represents a specific iteration of Dehler's fractional sloop design, characterized by a displacement of 18067.0 lb and a beam of 12.89 ft.

Best for:

This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and modern fractional rig handling over heavy bluewater comfort. Its relatively light displacement and high sail area-to-displacement ratio appeal to those seeking speed and agility in coastal waters.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 1.97 and a comfort ratio of 24.02, the Dehler 41 is better suited for coastal cruising and protected offshore passages rather than extreme bluewater voyaging. Its fin keel and moderate displacement suggest it is not designed for heavy-weather isolation or long-term liveaboard comfort in rough seas.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 40.7 and the Hallberg-Rassy 41, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-focused hull forms from the same era. The Dehler 41 distinguishes itself with a lighter displacement and a more racing-oriented setup compared to heavier displacement cruisers.
