Broom 41

I visited Broom Boats in Brundall this morning to Survey this Motor Yacht for a client. A member of the offshore range, the 41 was based on an extended version of the John Bennet designed Broom 39 hull, and was one of the first models to feature the full width aft deck with seating incorporated into the dodgers, giving a very large outside living area on one level. The 41 also broke with tradition by dispensing with the internal helm position, relying on the sheltered cockpit for an all-weather steering position.

Interior space is maximised on this model by keeping the walkways between cabins to one side. The original layout had a large galley and a breakfast bar, but in 1997 the option of the galley level dinette was introduced and this layout proved to be more popular. Both versions feature a large master cabin aft and a guest cabin forward, which on later models was often a second double.

Engine configurations could be twin Perkins, Volvo, Iveco or Caterpillars upward of 300HP each. This one had the 370 Volvos fitted.

Surveyors comments: The quality of joiner work of the older Brooms has become the benchmark for this class of yacht and, although often copied, quite frankly the quality is seldom matched by competitors. Good, solid built boat.
