Review of Sceptre 41

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The Sceptre 41 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a long keel.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.74 - 1.84 meter (5.71 - 6.01 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar 4JH-TE diesel engine at 45.0 hp (33 kW), which gives a max speed about 6.5 knots.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Sceptre 41 is 1.82, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 8.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Sceptre 41 is about 283 kg/cm, alternatively 1588 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 283 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1588 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

1982 Sceptre 41 Pilothouse

  • Description

Seller's Description

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 worlds 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.

‘Tryste’ is designed for comfort on long voyages. Her pilothouse provides protection in adverse conditions, From the moment you step below you feel at home. The generous galley is to port at the base of the companionway, with a generous aft cabin to starboard. Just forward of the aft cabin is the dining area, with raised seating providing sightlines all around through her many windows.

To port, and just forward of the galley, is the nav station and lower helm. Everything is here to manage the vessel from the safety and comfort of the interior. Amid ships, down a step, is a FabAll diesel heater and bench seat. A cozy place on a cold day.

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.

Currently on the hard, she is available to be seen in Bowmanville, ON

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Boat: Sceptre 41
36 in was a bust (see or Bust) so I raised my spending limit and found a real nice Sceptre 41. Problem is this time instead of being South of the border this one is NOrth of the Border in BC. Our offer was accepted verbally (the is in , Seller in Florida) and we are making plans to go up and see her in the next week or so.

We fell in love with Sceptre's and had a look at one that was in . It hadn't been kept up very well and they were asking $149k for it with very dated and old and general neglect. We decided not to make an offer b/c it was going to be so low to upset the owner and b/c don't have time to take on the . The day after we decided not to take on the another Sceptre came on the market. Better , just went through a major , and well we made an offer that we could negotiate up from. They accepted. I hope the trip North works out better than the one South.

The adventure begins anew.

38 as well but the decks were a mess. Beautiful boat though. A little tight for a of four but the joinery and craftsmanship were exquisite.

We fell in love with the Sceptre. Hopefully all will out. Have fun in the Keys. We chartered out of Islamorada two years ago and figured you could spend a lifetime or two just cruising the Keys. Let us know what you find and where you are off to.

is cored? I can't find any information online but someone mentioned that they thought the Sceptre 41's had in the ? If so, does anyone know what kind of , balsa?

Thanks,

Boat: Sceptre 41
. If you have any other questions I may be able to answer them and If I know how to get you answers. The main problem with them is their age. They are getting a bit old. I have been thru my boat from stem to stern. Is the one you are looking at:

1) or dual spreader . When was it last pulled? If/When was the standing replaced?

2) hours?

3) Leaky ?

4) How old is the ?

Mine is located in SF and if we can find time I would love to talk to you about it. Send me an IM.

Swiftsure Yachts

The Sceptre 41 has set the standard for a do-it-all cruiser for decades. Designed by Hein Driehuyzen and built in British Columbia, the Sceptre has features that years later were adopted by other designers and builders.

Usable storage is one of the Sceptre’s great strengths and is the envy of most other cruisers. Cabinetry was designed for the serious offshore cruiser, where food and other items can be stored close at hand yet secured away. The raised salon opens up to provide ample and accessible long term storage. The galley, head (with shower) and sleeping cabins are well thought out for one or two-couple cruising.

Sceptres are well known for their rugged and smart construction. Structural components are built into the cabinetry, providing strength without being obtrusive.

Lemolo II  is a pilothouse version, with a very usable inside steering station. Alaska cruisers can come in from the wet and cold into the salon, yet still have great visibility and light. Swiftsure Yachts is familiar with  Lemolo II  from previous sales to happy customers. Her dark blue hull still gleams.

Accomodations

Lemolo II’s  interior lives far larger than her 41-feet might suggest. A raised salon layout often cuts down on usable living space, but the Sceptre 41 makes excellent use of all her hull volume, providing exceptional tank capacity, storage space and living accommodations. Her roomy salon, large nav station, U-shaped galley, spacious head with separate shower stall and two ample sized staterooms is perfectly configured for long term cruising or living aboard. The interior is finished in satin varnished teak with teak trim accents around hatches, portlights and in the head and shower stall. Her cabin sole is thick traditional teak and holly. Her headliner is white vinyl panels fastened at their perimeters with teak battens. Her interior is very bright as a result of her large raised cabin house windows, numerous hatches and hull side ports. All opening ports and hatches are Lewmar.

The cabin is heated by a Webasto hydronic (hot water circulating) heater with thermostat controls for the master stateroom, head, salon and guest stateroom.

The  forward stateroom  is an enclosed cabin that features a Pullman style berth offset to starboard with a removable insert. There is excellent storage under the berth. A shelf runs along the starboard hull side above the bunk while teak slats, offering a nice accent to the white finish on the port and starboard sides. Two reading lamps are located at the head of the berth with one aft. Three drawers are located beneath the aft end of the berth. To port is a small dressing settee bench seat. Aft of the settee is a tall hanging locker. Two opening ports in the hull sides and a large foredeck hatch provide excellent ventilation and natural light. The hydronic heat is plumbed to this cabin. The forward cabin has private access to the head and shower.

The  head with separate shower stall  is located aft of the master stateroom to starboard. The compartment is finished in white molded fiberglass, white laminate and teak trim. Teak grates cover the draining sumps in both the head and shower spaces. In the head, a counter with porcelain sink is located forward and outboard. There is a large locker below. Outboard along the hull side is a large mirrored cabinet with shelves. Aft of the counter is the Jabsco manual head. Hydronic heat is plumbed to the head. There are also towel racks/grab bars located on the aft bulkhead. The separate shower stall is located forward, with a curtain separating the space. A seat is located outboard.

Across from the head to port along the passageway to the salon is the raised  pilot berth . There is massive storage area with a large hanging locker and four drawers. An additional locker and large shelf are located above.

Lemolo II’s   raised salon/pilot house  features a dinette to starboard. The dinette itself drops down to make a double berth. The aft edge of the dinette settee also serves as an aft facing seat for the large navigation table. The AC and DC breaker panel plus Raymarine GPS are located at the navigator’s table. There is a long book case and two cabinets above and outboard of the dinette seatback on the starboard side. Storage space beneath and outboard off the settee seats is ample. There is also large storage beneath the main cabin sole itself. To port, there is a short settee. The below deck helm seat is just forward of this settee with a tall narrow storage locker located under the seat itself. The below deck steering wheel is solid teak. The Raymarine radar/chartplotter, B&G electronics and VHF radio are located at the helm. Outboard of the helm seat and settee is a long book shelf and cabinets. The view from the salon is exceptional, and excellent light is provided by the large windows and two smaller skylight windows above.

The U-shaped  galley  is aft and to port. Fiddles surround white countertops. Forward and inboard is a large two bin stainless sink with single lever faucet with built in filter, freshwater hand pump and saltwater hand pump. A large locker space is located beneath this sink with a trash locker that opens on the inboard side. Outboard of the sink is a deep top loading dry storage locker with shelves — more than ample for many weeks of provisions. Aft is a three burner Force 10 propane stove/oven with broiler. There is a locker beneath for pots and pans. Outboard there are two sliding door lockers. Just aft of the stove is another smaller top loading dry storage locker with three drawers below. A very large top loading fridge/freezer is located aft. There is a small shelf above. Four drawers inboard of the fridge provide additional storage.

The  guest stateroom  is located to starboard of the companionway. A double quarter berth extends aft. At the forward end of the berth is a small sink with a locker under. There is a hanging locker at the forward end of the cabin. Reading lamps and an overhead light provide illumination at night while three opening ports also provide natural light and ventilation.

Hull and Deck

Stunning dark blue gel coat hull with white boot and double cove stripes. The deck has molded-in nonskid in a contrasting light grey color. The T-shaped cockpit is very well conceived. Protected from the elements by a windshield, and newer Iverson dodger and connecting canvas, one can comfortably sail or lounge. Settee backs are contoured and high. Primary winches are located adjacent the steering wheel on the cockpit coaming.

Access to the water is provided with a fold-away helmseat and walk-through transom. A teak line storage box is cleverly located at the bridge deck. All sail control lines are led aft to the cockpit. There are three cockpit lockers for storage and access to engine and machinery. To port is a large locker with steps allowing one to climb below. Port side and aft engine access is provided through a removable panel. Two more lockers are aft. The propane locker is housed in the transom along with the fresh water bathing shower.

A mast at the stern houses the radar, communications antennae, wind instruments and gps antenna.

Let's talk motorsailers/pilothouses

sceptre 41 sailboat data

  • Add to quote

I'm looking for ideas. Here's the parameters: Motorsailer/pilothouse. must have inside helm. Draft less than 5' Under $50K What would you buy and why? go.  

Probably mostly a BC kinda boat, but if you can find a Cooper you might want to take a good look. Have done a delivery in a 32 and believe that they had several models in the mid-30's size range. Solid boat. LB  

sceptre 41 sailboat data

What length? not that I personally would want a boat with less than 5' of draft depending upon where I am going. Gulf, Fisher, nauticat are among a few that I know of with what you describe. Jeanneau has a model or two from the mid 80s that might fit your need. I would need to look it up at the owners site to verify/remember the model name. The few I have seen fit the $$ amount, not sure about the rest of the requirements. marty

Pilothouse sailboats are kind of like "condoms" for sailing. I believe in going commando.  

Which is okay if you're undercanvassed.  

sceptre 41 sailboat data

I don't think you'll see many Nauticats for that price.. Most of the pilothouse boats are larger boats, and as such are going to be out of your price range. IIRC, Cape Dory made a small pilot house boat, but it was a pretty rare beastie.  

Okay, here's the list of possibilities that has sorta popped up: Capital yachts Gulf 27 Capital yachts Gulf 32 Fisher 30 Willard Vega Horizon Fales Navigator Anybody have any thoughts on any of these?

Faster said: In the Cooper line there was a 316, a 353, 416 and 502. Few 50s were built and you'd likely only find a 316 or a rough 353 under 50K. Not bad looking for a pilothouse... even the 316 is nicely drawn, but necessarily a bit bulky at that size. The cockpits are smallish, the deckhouses large and so sightlines are fairly compromised from the outside helm. These are relatively beamy hulls but with narrow ends. Fin keels and skeg rudders IIRC. US yachts bought the molds and briefly produced the US 35 and US 42.. not sure how many (or how few) were built and sold. Another short-lived outfit bought the molds of the 316 and a couple of Northwest 32s were built. The last had to be owner finished, we saw it this past summer and he did a nice job of it. Click to expand...

THere is a Gulf 27, not sure about a 29, and there is a 32 to my knowledge. as there is a 27 and 32 at my marina. Then again, if you can afford a few ie 4 $50K bills, I know of a sceptre for sail here in Edmonds wa. If you can find a Jeanneau Fantasia, they have the feel of a MS< altho not a true pilot house design. Marty  

Small Gulf Motorsailors I thought I wanted one of these for a while when I was shopping so I dug quite a bit into their pedigree. Most likely story I have been able to piece together is the Newport 27 (NOT 28) hull mold was used to make the Gulf 27, and the same hull was extended to make the 29. Newport 27 was an ok little boat but doesn't set the world on fire performance wise, and the Gulf is heavier. Still neat, maybe I'll get one when I'm 80. (and transplant the pilothouse deck onto a faster boat!)  

It was as I recall, and you mention, a newport/cc hull with a pilot house deckhousing on it. There may be a review in Good old boat in the future of a 27, i am recalling a 32 was also done recently. From the fellow that has the 27, there is a reasonably active owners site, or email list too. marty

You west coasters have a lot more choices then i see here in the east. Thanks for the input. TDW, Neptune help me, I am starting to get seriously intrigued by a Navigator or a Willard. yeah they are kind of an odd duck, but it's an interesting package. What brought this brainfart about was running the numbers from the logbook over the past three seasons. Turns out, we motor as often as we sail, and there is always some great sailing to be had in the spring and fall, providing you have some decent weather protection. Regarding draft, Long Point bay tends to get pretty skinny in the fall. Anybody in our marina who draws more than 5.5- 6' is usually hauling out by the middle of september, because the depth begins to get questionable. Which is too bad, because there was some really really great sailing right up until the end of october this year. I don't race, so speed and handling and pointing ability are not at the top of my priority list. I cruise. I tend to cruise slow. I ain't in no hurry because, as far as i am concerned, like a lot of us, i am already there.

Heh-heh. Well played, bl!! [cue golfclap]  

And here's mine A 1980 Ta Shing Flying Dutchman Baba 35 Pilot House, designed by Bob Perry; one of about seven in the world. The thing I really like about this pilothouse is how well it integrates into the shape of the boat and the cabin. I think it's one of the best I've seen. As I was buying Perry's book on yacht design, the woman at Armchair Sailor asked, "do you have a boat?" "Yes," I replied. "We pick it up tomorrow. It's a Baba 35 Pilot house." "I hate pilot house boats," she said. I looked at her and smiled... "Well, I didn't buy the boat for you." We got the keys yesterday after a nine month search. Brigadoon has a new home, nestled against the end of Tillicum Marina, on Lake Union. I surprised my broker by wanting to move the boat today, just as a storm system was leaving. We had a dicey moment at the marina but, once we got out into the lake, it was a pretty easy shot to our slip. We took no pictures today. There was too much to do to fumble with a camera. A good friend, who is making a documentary about live aboard folk, did come along and videotape our maiden voyage. Brigadoon now sits against the doc. She's still afloat (we checked after a celebratory dinner at 9 Million in Fremont) last we left her. I'm sure I'll go by and check on her daily. We return Thursday night to settle some more things and plan on camping out on her this weekend. There's much to do. I'll be busy re-bedding chain plate covers, stopping a few small leaks, sorting out the entire boat, building a big todo list, scheduling some engine maintenance, and transitioning to moving aboard the weekend of the 13th of November. It's taken eight long months, looking at possibly a hundred boats, talking to tens of brokers, until we found Brigadoon. Thanks for listening and, as I said to Kerry tonight, "Whew! Done." "No," she replied. "We've just begun." Gosh I love her. The boat isn't bad either. Picasa Web Albums - donn.christianson - Brigadoon

Nice boat, blacky! Congratulations. The far east built boats sure have some lovely woodwork... and a damn lot of it!  

The budget, man, the budget! $50K. Tops. Even at that I may need to sell an organ.

Black - dude, nice Baba!!! She does look super cozy, stout and capable - and there's a lot to be said for that. Perry is definitely the man. Is that a Gibson by the bulkhead? Nice! Now, Dog, baby, I've sailed a tri (a Corsair) at 17 knots - and, granted, it was fun. So I'm not in denial about what multis "can do". I'm talking about the LOOK of the boat. And I'm just saying a tri looks like a freakin' yardsale for hulls. And multis are a little wimpy in the snot. Just ask Tony B.  

Gotta agree with smacky on this one... :laugher :laugher :laugher That thing is hideous.  

Please, Please make it go away!!!!!!!!!!!
