Internal structural members are GRP-formed and fully laminated, contributing to the vessel’s robust monocoque construction. Plywood bulkheads are securely glassed directly to the hull, adding further stiffness and structural integrity. A moulded rubbing strake runs the length of the hull and is finished with durable bronze capping, offering both practical protection and a classic aesthetic.The underwater sections have recently been epoxy treated for osmosis. Deck & SuperstructureThe deck and superstructure are GRP moulded, ensuring a strong, watertight structure with minimal maintenance requirements. The flybridge is also moulded in GRP, seamlessly integrated into the overall design. All exterior deck areas are overlaid with Flexi-Teak synthetic teak decking, combining the traditional appearance of teak with improved grip, longevity, and reduced maintenance.Keel & RudderThe vessel features a moulded GRP skeg keel formed as an integral part of the hull, offering protection to the running gear and enhancing directional stability. Steering is via twin bronze rudders, providing reliable handling characteristics and excellent manoeuvrability under power.Mechanical Engine & gearbox:Ford Watermota 120hp engine x2Marinised Ford Dorset 2715E engine6 cylinder, naturally aspirated, indirectly cooled marine diesel engine.Borg Warner Velvet Drive hydraulic reversing marine gearboxesTwin lever morse controls at upper and lower helm stationsEngine dash panels with gauges for RPM, water temp, oil pressure andvoltmetersMaintenance & Performance:Engines last serviced April 2023Cruising speed under engine 8ktsSelection of ‘cruising spares’ aboardPropulsion & Steering:Stainless steel propshaftsBronze p-brackets3 blade bronze propsElectrical System: Voltage systems:12VDC onboard power system230VAC shore power systemShore Power:Single 16 amp connectionExtension lead to connect to shore supplyRCD protected systemRing main, battery charger, water tank heaterBattery Banks:Battery Bank 1 – 1x 12VDC 180Ah (Nov 2023/4)Battery Bank 2 – 1x 12VDC 180Ah (Nov 2023.4)Alternator:Alternators fitted on both engines12VDC alternators charging battery banksGeneral:Windscreen wiper on starboard forward facing windowWater System:Fresh Water:Pressurised hot and cold water system.Mixer tap in galleyMixer tap in forward headsHot water provided by calorifier, heated by port engine or 230VDCimmersion heater when connected to shore powerBilge Pumps:Manual bilge pumpElectric bilge pumpTANKAGEFuel:Twin diesel tankApproximate total capacity 1,360ltrFresh Water:Single fresh water tank.Approximate capacity 860ltrHolding Tank:Single holding tank for both heads.Overboard or deck suction dischargeAccommodation OverviewThe Trader 41 offers a generous and versatile accommodation layout, well suited to extended cruising with family or guests aboard.
