Announced when the YOT 36 was launched last year, the 41 will be on display at Cannes.
The elegant J&J Design signature is evident in the appearance, as are the well-defended hulls, whose central tunnel provides a highly effective lift/dampening effect in bigger seas. This time, the builder has opted for a bowrider-type central circulation with a forward door, to maximize the nacelle's width and take advantage of an exterior saloon. The central living area is protected by a wraparound windshield and a T-top. This is where you'll find the helm station, of course, but also the galley and saloon, and the two symmetrical cabins are located in the hulls.
The aft cockpit features many of the same modular layouts found on the YOT 36, with tables and bench seating transformed into sunloungers and vice versa in a matter of moments. The catamaran also has fold-down side-decks, increasing the beam of the 41 from 14’9” to 19’1” (4.49 to 5.82 m) when open. A 5’ x 3’ (1.5 x 1 m) hydraulic platform is added at the stern. The standard powertrain features 2 powerful Mercury Verado outboard motors, each with a 400 hp V10 block. Performance figures are not yet available but should be flattering.
