About the Cc 41

Developed during the late 1970s as part of the Cc line of performance cruisers, this 41-footer represents a thoughtful approach to bluewater sailing design. The boat emerged from an era when builders were refining the balance between comfortable cruising accommodations and serious sailing capability, resulting in a vessel that appeals to sailors seeking both adventure and livability. Built with solid fiberglass construction and featuring a moderate displacement hull form, the Cc 41 demonstrates the design philosophy of its period—prioritizing seaworthiness over pure speed. The boat's proportions suggest capable offshore performance, with enough beam to provide generous interior volume while maintaining the fine ends necessary for efficient passage-making in varied conditions. This model suits sailors planning extended coastal cruising or offshore passages, offering the structural integrity and sailing characteristics needed for serious voyaging. The design incorporates practical deck layout features and robust hardware placement that reflect real-world cruising demands. While not built in large numbers, the Cc 41 has earned respect among experienced sailors who value traditional construction methods and proven design principles. For sailors seeking a well-built vessel capable of handling challenging conditions while providing comfortable living spaces, this model merits serious consideration in the competitive 40-foot cruising market.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
