XR 41 GT – Performance Redefined for Life on the Water
The XR 41 GT shares the same refined hull form, structural integrity and design heritage as the XR 41 Race yet is tailored for sailors who want "Grand Touring" pace in a more versatile package. It is built for those who enjoy real speed without committing to the demands of a dedicated race schedule, offering a balance of performance, comfort and control that suits shorthanded crews, families and fast cruising.
A pinhead mainsail, single backstay and streamlined deck layout make the XR 41 GT straightforward to handle and rewarding to sail. Owners gain the same offshore capability and build quality as the Race model but with a setup that is easier to run and more relaxed to live aboard – perfect for spirited weekend escapes, confident coastal cruising or extended passages at pace.

Why an XR 41 GT?
Choosing an XR 41 GT means choosing a yacht that brings together genuine performance with everyday practicality. She offers:
A well‑balanced rig that delivers pace without needing a large or highly drilled crew.
A lighter, simplified sail plan that still provides impressive acceleration and control.
A clean, ergonomic cockpit shaped for confident shorthanded sailing and relaxed cruising.
A warm and comfortable interior with smart storage solutions and optional upgrades for life aboard.
Modular interior elements that let owners tailor the boat for cruising or occasional racing.
A modern hull that carries the pedigree and offshore capability expected from an X‑Yacht.
Effortless Power with Confident Control
The XR 41 GT is centred around a rig that makes performance both quick and reassuring. The pinhead mainsail keeps sheet loads low and trimming simple, while the single backstay ensures setup and adjustment remain straightforward for shorthanded crews.
A shorter bowsprit improves handling in tight harbours and marinas yet still allows the use of generous asymmetric sails for fast downwind work.For owners seeking additional stability, the 455 kg ballast upgrade delivers a substantial increase in righting moment, roughly equal to carrying seven extra crew on the rail. The result is a yacht that stays composed through gusts, holds a steady line upwind and offers fast, confident sailing regardless of crew size.

A Deck Engineered for Control and Ease
The XR 41 GT features a cockpit layout shaped for confident cruising and easy shorthanded control. Winches sit within comfortable reach of the helm which allows the boat to be managed without relying on a large crew. All halyards, reefing lines and sheets run cleanly aft beneath the deck to keep the cockpit clear, safe and welcoming for family sailing.
The deeper, well protected cockpit and generous aft seating create a relaxed space for time at anchor or during longer passages. Optional integrated davits make tender handling simple through the “easy launch” system, and once the dinghy is deployed the helmsman retains an unobstructed view aft. Throughout, the deck layout blends efficient trimming with the comfort expected of a modern fast cruising yacht.

A Lightweight, Adaptable Interior for Confident Cruising
A Lightweight, Adaptable Interior for Confident Cruising
Below deck, the XR 41 GT offers a bright and comfortable interior crafted with Scandinavian attention to detail and durable materials throughout. The full galley provides generous storage, a practical worktop and optional upgrades such as heating, hot water and a remote controlled anchor system that makes anchoring simple during cruising.
Soft upholstery, refined fittings and well‑placed lockers give the saloon and cabins a warm, welcoming feel. The modular interior system, unique in this segment, allows sections of the galley and cabin storage to be removed for racing or reinstated for cruising. This flexibility makes the XR 41 GT equally suited to relaxed family sailing and occasional club racing.
