Hunter Marine has created a new version
of its recently introduced 41 model, the 41DS, which
sports a new profile and roomier interior created
by
raising the deck to allow a taller and larger salon.
"Sailboat interiors are trending towards more
open designs," said John Peterson, Hunter Marine's
director of sales and marketing. "The 41's deck
salon version has more panoramic views and greater
visibility from the larger, elevated windows."
The new profile creates almost a "sport
sedan" look for the 41DS, and its large polished-aluminum
windows definitely sets the DS apart from its
sister ship. Inside, the headroom has been increased
4" to a spectacular 6'10". The voluminous
ceilings are covered with a light fabric called
Whisper-Air™, which combines with the increased
light entering from the sizeable new windows to produce
a comfortable, bright and open feel.
OceanAire™ designer shades cover the windows
when privacy is desired and add a nice decorative
touch. Durable and handsome Everwear™
laminate flooring is being introduced by Luhrs Marine,
the parent company of Hunter Marine, across most of
its boating product lines in 2005,
but the 41DS will get an exclusive "glossy"
version.
The standard two-cabin version has an
aft master stateroom with queen innerspring mattress,
cedar-lined hanging locker, built-in vanity, and a
dual-entrance head with shower; the forward guest
suite has a wide double berth, built-in vanity, and
private head with shower. A three-cabin version
is also offered Galley highlights include a custom
stainless steel refrigerator and freezer, dual deep
sinks, pantry, gimbaled two-burner propane stove
with oven, a glass-fronted lighted dishware cabinet
and deluxe Corian® countertops.
The 41DS maintains the 41's sail plan
and hull design. The B & R rig with a large mainsail
and smaller head sail is a Hunter trademark, and all
the
running rigging is within reach of the cockpit to
make sailing single-handed a breeze. Furling mainsail
is an option. The innovative steel overhead
traveler arch keeps the deck safe and uncluttered,
and offers a great place to connect a bimini or attach
stereo speakers. A more vertical bow profile
is utilized to maximize waterline length and decrease
pitching motion.
