SCEPTRE 41
Sceptre
- 12.5m
41' 0"ft
The Sceptre 41 was built from 1982 to 1993. It quickly became apparent why the model was chosen by Ferenc Mate for his book, World's Best Sailboats. Ahead of its time, the design by Hein Driehuyzen was influenced by European lines, featuring a walk through transom and inside helm to cope with the damp conditions of British Columbia cruising while enjoying a spacious interior plan, featuring a raised settee to starboard where one could sit and enjoy the view while at anchor.
Because each boat was built to order, there were variations in equipment and interior plan to accommodate individual owners - eventually the first "low settee" model was introduced, which featured settees to port and starboard. For those who wanted privacy for guests the quarter berth was closed in. Some owners wanted a larger galley with an extra stack of drawers, etc. Even when the interiors might be almost identical in layout, there were often subtle differences in the "feel" of the boat, some more masculine or feminine, depending on the original owners' requirements. The equipment specifications were often quite different as well, with some being equipped for long term cruising or just plain coastal or Great Lakes sailing. So the connoisseur will find major and minor cosmetic and equipment differences between each of the fleet of fifty-three boats - there is no such animal as a "standard" Sceptre 41!
