Princess 41

Marketing Description

‘High C’s’ is a lovely example of the robust and spacious Princess 41. Built in 1979 by Marine Projects of Plymouth at a time when competition was fierce to design and build the ideal boat suitable for long range cruising either as a couple or with friends. 
Her layout suits this with a large double berth, en-suite forecabin, mid-ships cabin with bunks and a spacious ensuite aft cabin with 2 large singles. 
Huge saloon due the generous beam with great visibility makes relaxing or entertaining a breeze. 
Well-equipped galley with gas cooker and fridge. Additional fridge in saloon so a cold one is always at hand. Upper and lower helms offer flexibility when under way or berthing. Freedom to anchor in a bay or spend time in remote unserviced harbours is provided by the onboard generator. 
Well maintained Volvo Penta TAMD60B inboards provide reliability. Manoeuvring is a dawdle thanks to the twin mid mounted engines and the bowthruster. 
Comprehensive electronic navigation package including radar. Stainless steel dinghy davits. Comfortable flybridge seating with all over cover. The radar arch is hinged so those wishing to boat on the rivers and canals are catered for. Would make an ideal coastal cruiser with liveaboard capabilities.
