Plans for 2011: A new Dehler 41 is shaping up
Dehler Yachts have always been a frontrunner in design, new technical solutions, in quality, as performance cruising yachts, and -needless to say -on race courses.
On 7th September 2010, the Dehler-Race-Day at the ORCi World Championships in Flensburg, North Germany, Dehler Yachts of Freienohl and the design-office Judel/Vrolijk & Co took the opportunity to present the latest project to engaged international competitors: The new Dehler 41.
The performance cruiser racer will be very competitive under the ORC and IRC rules and its design and engineering will provide very good all-round qualities. As well the 41 will be a beautiful, fast and easy to handle cruising yacht.
After carefully studying the competition in the 38 and 45 foot range, Judel/Vroiljk & Co under the guidance of famous head-designer Rolf Vrolijk started to develop this new boat and now published first ideas and basic numbers. The boat will be equipped with a different keel/sail plan/gear-setup, to cater for the different types of use, and customers needs. So the Dehler 41 could be a safe fast cruising yacht, an easy to handle club racer and a high competitive racer for international events. The multiple purpose usage is Dehler’s strategy for all models.
 The tooling research process by the yard, interior layouts, equipment and modern and effective building processes is not completely finished yet, but this boat will not only be competitive on the water in both, racing and cruising, it will also be very competitive in price. Latest calculations shows a first pricing under 180.000 Euros (LM 77,274) ex Vat for the standard boat.
The launch date is not fixed yet because of ongoing researches and fine tuning works. As well capacities of model building could be a limiting factor. But Dehler representatives and a lot of interested customers want to see the boat sailing in 2011.
