Todays assignment was to Survey this 41 ft Trader Motor Yacht at Brooms in Brundall, Norfolk, UK.
The trader 41 and 41+2 (the same boat but with two more berths) were designed and developed by Tarquin Boat Co of Ringwood, Hampshire, but were built in Taiwan. They were introduced in 1980 and 1981 respectively. To date Tarquin have sold over 140 boats, of which about 30 have remained in the UK. The 41 has four berths in two large cabins, one forward and one aft, and two occasional berths in the wheelhouse. The 41+2 has two smaller forward cabins, giving an extra two berths. The full width aft cabin on both boats provides a spacious sundeck above.Hull shape is medium vee with a keel, effectively a semi displacement form. The most popular engine installation is a pair of 120HP Ford diesels, which drive the boat at 12 knots, but more powerful engines have been fitted up to twin 255HP Caterpillars pushing speeds up to 22 knots. This boat has the 306HP Volvos fitted.
