Concordia 41 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Concordia 41 means chasing one of the rarer members of a celebrated yawl family: only two dozen were built to the full 41-foot length, stretched from the original 39-foot 10-inch hull by adding a plank for more volume and headroom. These are wood boats from Abeking & Rasmussen, and the right example rewards patience with timeless seamanship.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 41 carries the same yawl-plan proportions as the shorter Concordia but feels bigger below because of the added plank that raises headroom and stowage. Expect fold-down saloon bunks that were originally meant to fold away from wet racing sails, a starboard galley with a manual sink fixture and a custom stove, and a head concealed in a port-side closet that opens into a midships bath. A fo'c's'le workbench with a vise and a flag locker behind the companionway ladder round out a layout clearly shaped by both cruising and competition.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Power comes from a built-in Yanmar 30 PS diesel, with wheel steering turning a Ted Hood triangular rudder and a huge emergency tiller lashed below. Some boats seen on the market show owner-added larger Barient primary winches and an electric anchor windlass, meaningful upgrades for short-handed anchoring and sail handling. A butterfly-wing foredeck skylight and flip-up cockpit backrests are period features rather than additions.
What to Inspect
The one documented weak point is the butterfly-wing skylight on the foredeck, which is prone to leaks when green water comes aboard. On a wood hull of this age, examine the skylight seals and surrounding deck timber, and confirm the removable water tanks and their beds are sound. The Hood rudder and emergency tiller linkage are worth a close look given their role in steering redundancy.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
For the buyer, the checklist is short:
- Verify skylight sealing and deck integrity around the foredeck opening
- Confirm Yanmar 30 PS service history and rudder/tiller condition
- Check removable tank beds and the fold-down bunk hardware
- Prefer examples with Barient winches or windlass already fitted
