41' William Garden Design Island Trader 41 Heavily Built Circumnavigation 2 Cabin Ketch Rig - Center Cockpit

A Teak Tiger to Take You Around the World

Legendary sought after design by famed naval architect William Garden. Island Trader 41s are some of the most well regarded heavy displacement bowsprit cruisers from back when the quality and durability of your vessel was what kept you alive rather than relying on modern electronics and forecasting to attempt to avoid big storms.

These boats are so comfortable even in huge waves. 9000 lb of ballast. A comfort ratio as smooth as silk. An incredible displacement to length ratio of 395 and a lot of sail area to push it. These boats sail like an absolute dream. On a beam reach you pretty much just point them where you want to go and it will sail itself there.

The teak interior answers the question of what happened to all the rainforests of south east asia. There is no brand in the world still building small ships with this type of glamorous pirate ship interior now. If you want one to sail today and gift to your grandchildren years from now, the only way to buy one is to acquire one of the classics built during that era.

This is a tremendous opportunity to achieve a circumnavigation capable, comfortable and exceedingly durable global cruiser from the height of the classic plastic era. Built in Taiwan of super thick woven roving fiberglass with a full keel, dual anchors and windlass, easy to handle ketch rig, two full size cabins and a gorgeous salon that seats 8 easily and 10 or 12 in a pinch for a rained out deck party.

As an even more attractive possibility for middle class sailors intending to cruise the world but who don't have mountains of cash, I am offering 50% seller financing with 0% APR.

I am a boat professional who does vessel restoration. I love working on the bright work on these fantastic classic vessels. Want to have all this gray teak restored with 7 coats of varnish. I will include that at no extra charge.
