About the DEHLER 41 CR
The Dehler 41 CR is a performance-oriented cruising sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Dehler Yachts in Germany, with production records indicating a build year of 1999. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in the available data, this model represents a specific era of German yacht building that prioritized speed and handling.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for active coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize performance and ease of handling over heavy bluewater displacement comfort. The high sail area-to-displacement ratio and fractional rig suggest it appeals to those who enjoy spirited sailing in moderate conditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 19621.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.9, the boat is capable of offshore passages but is better characterized as a coastal cruiser with bluewater potential rather than a heavy-displacement ocean racer. The fin keel and moderate comfort ratio of 27.02 suggest a balance between speed and seakeeping that is adequate for protected waters and shorter offshore trips.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 40.7 and the Hallberg-Rassy 41, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-focused hull forms. The Dehler 41 CR distinguishes itself with German build quality and a slightly lighter displacement compared to heavier Scandinavian cruisers.
