About the GOZZARD 41
The Gozzard 41 is a rare, heavy-displacement cruising yacht designed by Ted Gozzard and built by North Castle Marine Ltd. (CAN) in 1986. With a production run of only one known hull, this vessel represents a unique, custom-built example of late-1980s Canadian boatbuilding.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers or conservative bluewater sailors who prioritize comfort and stability over speed, given its high comfort ratio of 32.21 and substantial displacement of 23500.0 lb.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.82, a full/long keel, and a displacement of 23500.0 lb, the Gozzard 41 is well-suited for offshore passage making, offering excellent stability and seakeeping characteristics.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other heavy-displacement cutter-rigged yachts from the 1980s such as the Tartan 42 or Hallberg-Rassy 42, which share similar full keel designs and offshore-oriented hull forms.
