Perfectly maintained Dehler 41 CR, delivered in perfect condition and ready to sail.
Dehler 41CR: The perfect balance between performance and comfort
The Dehler 41CR (Cruising), designed by the renowned firm Judel/Vrolijk & Co, is praised as one of the most successful designs from the Dehler yard at the end of the 1990s. This specific boat, built in 1997 and launched in 1998, is an excellent example of a "quality-built family cruiser" that remains competitive in the racing circuit.
Exterior and layout
The yacht has a robust and seaworthy design with a length of 12.45 meters and a width of 3.90 meters.
Hull and Construction: The hull is a white round bilge GRP (polyester) construction. The hull was stripped and re-treated with epoxy in 2021. It has a fixed lead keel with a draft of 1.95 meters.
Cockpit: The spacious aft cockpit is fitted with teak seating and a teak cockpit table with a built-in cooler.
Sails and rigging: The boat is fractionally rigged with an aluminum mast and boom. The sail wardrobe includes a mainsail, genoa, jib with a large perspective, and a gennaker, all made by Wittevrongel.
Upgrades: The standing rigging has been renewed with Dyform. Additionally, the deck hardware has been modernized with updated blocks (2023) from Harken Black Magic and Lewmar.
Sprayhood: A distinctive Dehler feature is the fixed glass windshield, which on this boat is combined with a removable fabric cover for maximum protection.
Interior and accommodation
The interior is finished in classic mahogany wood and offers a warm atmosphere that elegantly contrasts with the white polyester accents.
Layout: The yacht offers 3 cabins with a total of 6 fixed sleeping places.
Facilities: The salon features a large U-shaped blue seating area. The galley is fully equipped with an oven, microwave, and a refrigerator with a freezer compartment.
Sanitary: There are two manual toilets and a shower on board.
Headroom: The interior offers a comfortable headroom of 1.90 meters.
Heating: For longer seasons, an Eberspächer D5LC hot air heating system is installed.
Technical systems and navigation
"Tillygreig" is technically highly specified and has recently undergone significant modernizations:
Engine: Powered by a reliable 48 HP Yanmar 3JH2TE diesel engine. The propeller shaft has recently been overhauled and the engine insulation has been renewed. The engine is equipped with an adjustable Variprop propeller for optimal efficiency, both under sail and on engine.
Electronics: The yacht is equipped with a modern Raymarine navigation package, including an e125 plotter, Quantum 2 radar (2021), Evolution EV-1 autopilot, and AIS 650.
Power supply: In 2025, new batteries were installed, including a 74 Ah starter battery and two 196 Ah service batteries. A solar panel with a charge controller provides sustainable power.
General assessment and build quality
Construction: In this era, Dehler used high-quality hand-laid methods with a balsa core for stiffness and insulation. The hull is built according to CE category A (ocean) standards, making it suitable for long-distance travel.
Sailing performance: Owners often praise the 41CR for its "stiff" sailing characteristics and the balanced feel at the helm. The ballast of 3,300 kg gives it a high ballast ratio, ensuring stability in heavy seas.
Refit status: This specific boat stands out due to its extensive refit history between 2021 and 2025, addressing key maintenance points such as hull treatment, rigging, batteries, and electronics.
"Tillygreig" is currently located in Nieuwpoort, Belgium, and is offered as a ready-to-sail solution for sailors looking for a fast, safe, and comfortable cruiser.
