Cayenne 41 (Cayenne 12.5)
Description
The Cayenne 41 (also listed as Cayenne 12.5 in metric naming conventions) is a performance-oriented Swedish-built cruiser-racer from the early 1980s, designed by renowned naval architect Håkan Södergren (known for fast, modern yachts like the Swede 41, Carrera series, and many IRC/IMS-optimized designs). It was produced by Comfortbåtar AB (Comfortina) in Sweden, with a narrow, heavy hull and generous sail plan in the "modernised R-yacht" style popular at the time—offering spacious accommodations (sleeps up to 8), excellent seakeeping, and strong performance for club racing or coastal/offshore cruising (some examples raced in events like Gotland Runt).
