About
The PDQ 41 is one of the most innovative cruising yachts launched to date. The 41’ incorporates many of the features that made the 34’ so successful but then because of her additional size includes numerous unique features like the master suite and remarkable flybridge. The performance of the 41’ has exceeded all expectations. With the very smooth and quiet 260 hp Yanmar engines (actually built by BMW) she cruises at a very comfortable 18knts burning 12gph. She has a top speed (fully loaded) of 25.5knts and for the very fuel conscious; at 9 knts she only consumes 2.5 gph. She is also one of the quietest 41’ twin diesel yachts you will ever experience.
The benefits of a catamaran are well known and the PDQ 41 is one of the most highly engineered cruising catamarans available today that accentuates all of those benefits.. Shallow draft, low fuel consumption, lots of living space, enormous storage spaces, and a remarkably smooth ride in offshore sea conditions make her the leader in cruising yachts. Magic is a Great Loop veteran and has made many trips to the Bahamas.

Moving forward you enter the master head with a Jabsco quiet flush toilet, fresh water head and a stall shower that is large enough for two people.

The galley has enormous volumes of storage and lots of counter space. Even the most demanding chef will be pleased with the layout and functionality. Two large pantries are also located in the forward end of the galley. Because the galley opens up directly into the salon it is quite open and very much a part of the entertaining area.

The visibility is outstanding for navigation and docking and there is a large open area aft of the seating area which makes a great sun deck. Magic is equipped with a full flybridge bimini (2022) and a complete flybridge cover as well. The flybridge arch and bimini fold down for a bridge clearance of 15 feet.

The yacht is equipped with twin Quick 1000 electric windlasses, 200′ of 5/16 HS chain and a 33kg Rocna type anchor and is also equipped with a second anchor and ground tackle.
The cockpit is an open area, designed for maximum functionality. Engine access is from the cockpit and there are several large deep storage areas accessible . The vessel is equipped with Edison dinghy davits and an electric capstan winch is installed to make dinghy retrieval a “breeze”. The house battery bank is located under the first step to the flybridge for easy access and maintenance. Direct water and dinghy access is facilitated by the steps built into the port and starboard transoms. A swim ladder and a hot/cold fresh water shower are located on the port transom.
Magic is also equipped with a AB 9’6″ RIB dinghy (2017) and

Overall design
PDQ has developed a reputation for having the most advanced technical design capability in the catamaran industry. This was proven with the incredible efficiency and seaworthiness of the 34. In the design of the 41′, they were able to “scale up” the proven 34 hull design with minor modifications and it has now proven to be as efficient as the 34. With a larger footprint, higher bridgedeck clearance and more displacement, the designers were able to deliver a smoother-riding and quieter yacht that can handle much larger seas comfortably. It is not uncommon to run the 41′ in 5′ seas at 18 knts comfortably.
Owners that enjoy performing maintainance tasks will appreciate the care that has been taken to locate all components in very accessable locations. Owners also appreciate that the hull is laid up with solid fiberglass below the waterline. Closed cell foam coring is only used above the waterline. This translates to a more durable boat, one that can be intentionally beached or anchored somewhere that dries out. Lastly, the running gear is protected by a skeg so running the boat aground will not likely cause any damage. Bottom line…the 41 is a good offshore design that will not let you down when the going gets tough but also incorporates many features that make it a great long-term live-aboard yacht.
