The Sceptre 41 was one of the first fiberglass boats to successfully merge a pilot house plan with a seaworthy design capable of safely cruising the world’s oceans. Her designer, Hein Driehuyzen, knew the basics of a good cruising boat: tankage low in the boat with good capacity; a design engineered to accommodate all the stores and equipment required for an extended cruise; materials and construction methods that last in an often harsh marine environment; a hull shape that is comfortable in a seaway; and a sail plan that is versatile and easily handled by a cruising couple.
Linger Longer is designed for comfort off the dock. Her pilothouse provides protection in adverse conditions, From the moment you step below you feel at home. The dining area is to starboard, with raised seating providing sightlines all around through her many windows. To port, just forward of the galley, is the nav station and lower helm.
Slightly forward of the mast and to starboard is a large head with separate shower. And in the bow the owner's stateroom provides an abundance of storage in hanging lockers and drawers, along with a private seating area.
Beautiful teak and holly sole runs throughout her interior, and the cabinetry is of a very high quality. Her spacious interior is bright and airy, with 6’5” headroom throughout.
The feeling of uncramped space is enhanced by more open floor area than you’ll find on most boats in this class.
Under sail or power she’s nimble and responsive. Rigged for maximum ease of handling, you can take her anywhere confidently without a large crew.
This Sceptre 41 had the transom extended by the factory, making it a 43. The 43 has a longer water line, and the walk through transom makes boarding a dinghy or going snorkeling easy!
