Yes, it is one of the few races I can do without running aground or forgetting
to change course.

The control panel is probably worth more than the cylinder. Check eBay sold
items to see what they are worth.

spent a few minutes on the new 41 at the boat show The good- large cockpit,
boat appears solid. The bad- winch placement, cabin steps are too far
apart, cabin feels very small, aft quarterberths are open with no door for
privacy while cruising, door to head is in forward cabin. Better racer

I had a backstay cylinder fail while on an ocean race. Spilled hydraulic fluid
all over the cockpit floor. Jim Watts arranged for a local shop in Victoria to
do the repair. No problems with the repair. When I had problems with the pump
that controls the vang and backstay, I used a repair shop in
Joel, You forgot to mention the bad- the 41 is a very expensive boat $400K.
Hard to see how it will compete well with the slightly lower quality but much
lower priced Beneteaus and Hanses.

Bruno,
I urge you to consider a rebuild at a cheaper local hydraulics shop. As
others have mentioned it would likely cost less than $100. The same as
paying for shipping to navtec. What do you have to lose? Then if it works
you won't have to spend even more money to re-rig some other system.
My recollection is that all of the C&Cs of that length have historically
been priced at ~$400k. It definitely takes a discerning customer with deep
pockets to justify a new one. Look at the 40' J boat too. Very slim
market for any $400k boat, racer or cruiser.
