Sceptre 41
Description
The Sceptre 41 is a highly respected Canadian-built performance cruising sailboat, designed by Hein Driehuyzen and produced by Sceptre Yachts Ltd. in Richmond, British Columbia, from 1982 to 1993. Only about 53 hulls were built, making it relatively rare but sought-after among bluewater and Pacific Northwest cruisers. It's celebrated for pioneering the raised-saloon/pilothouse concept in a seaworthy fiberglass hull—offering excellent visibility from an interior helm station, protected steering in cold/wet weather, and a comfortable, light-filled interior without sacrificing offshore capability.
