About the FINNGULF 41
Shallow draft version: Draft 2m 6.6' Displacement 8100 kg 17900 lbs. Ballast 3050 kg 6720 lbs.
The Finngulf 41 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Karl-Johan Stråhlmann and built by Finngulf, with production records indicating a build year of 2003. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in available data, the vessel is characterized by its substantial displacement of 17196.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 23.68, reflecting a heavy, stable platform.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over high-speed performance, particularly those willing to manage the maintenance demands of a heavy, fin-keel design.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.97 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 154.8, the Finngulf 41 is well-suited for bluewater passages, offering exceptional stability and motion comfort in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other heavy-displacement Scandinavian cruisers from the early 2000s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 41 or Nautor's Swan 41, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and emphasis on structural integrity over planing capabilities.
