Come Down Under

Windcraft Yachts has announced the Fjord 41XL is set to arrive in Australia some time in the next year, signalling a first for the award-winning model. 

Earlier this year, the Fjord 41XL was named the European Powerboat of the Year in the Up to 14 metres category at boot Düsseldorf and Delius Klasing Verlag industry gala, Flagship Night. 

Running at 12.7 metres in overall length, or 13.39 metres with the optional bathing platform and a beam of 3.99 metres, the model has been designed to focus on the customer experience. The biggest distinction of this is the customisation options of the Fjord 41XL, with owners being afforded the opportunity to design their model, offering modular configuration on deck and a variable interior design. 

A new hull was developed to implement this approach and includes a noticeably large T-top, providing both sun protection as well as a space for interior and deck design.

Twin Volvo Penta D6-340 engines enable an expected speed of 30 knots while the choice of either twin D6-380 or D6-440 deliver an estimated speed of 33 and 38 knots respectively.
