The Sceptre 41 is one of the most respected and sensible cruising sailboats ever built. With the raised dinette, you can take advantage of the beautiful scenery without suffering in the elements. The galley is optimally placed near the companionway and on level with the dinette salon area. The cockpit is well-sheltered behind a windshield and canvas dodger. A walk-through transom with swim platform makes for easy access to the water, a dock or dinghy. Tankage for fuel and water are generous and storage space, both on deck and below, is abundant. Top quality construction details and materials have enabled these boats to hold their value over the years. While many Sceptre's have remained in the Northwest, others have ventured forth, circumnavigating, rounding the great Capes and providing safe, speedy and comfortable passage for their crews.

A good measure of a cruiser is how many are still sailing and kept in outstanding condition. In that regard, the Sceptre 41/43s are exceptional. We have brokered many Sceptres and watched them head out for worldwide cruising. Moreover, there is a very active owners’ group that support each other in both boat repair and cruising plans, and they eagerly embrace newcomers.

Waypoint has already had an eventful life, having done a 3-year circumnavigation with her first owners. Her third owners kept her in Alaska for several years. Excellent maintenance records and serious offshore gear would provide a good platform for long-term or short-term cruising.

Detailed Specification

Interior Accommodations

The interior joinery is of solid oiled teak and teak veneers. The overhead is removable white vinyl over marine ply with teak battens. There are teak handrails on the overhead and port side. The sole is solid teak and holly over marine plywood. There are 110V outlets, overhead and reading lights throughout.

Starting forward is a master stateroom with an offset double berth. There are reading lights and an overhead light. Shelves run along the hull sides, below the deck. Below the bunk, there are three drawers. A very large hanging locker is adjacent the doorway to port. A small dressing seat is also to port. Two opening ports in the hull sides and one large opening overhead hatch provide natural light and ventilation. Ensuite access is provided to the head/shower.

A passageway leads to the raised salon area. To starboard is the head and separate shower. The shower is forward with a teak grating, shower curtain and overhead light. There is a seat for showers underway although there is ample headroom to shower standing up. The head is trimmed with varnished teak and has a sink, mirror, storage cabinets, teak towel bars and a teak grating on the sole. The passageway to port has very organized storage in two drawers, two lockers and a hanging locker.

The raised salon area is up one step. To starboard, an “U” shaped dinette on a raised platform affords excellent outside visibility while seated. Storage drawers, lockers and cabinets are outboard and under the settee. To port is a pilot station with a pedestal chair, allowing forward views over the bow, while standing watch inside.  An electrical guage/switch panel is outboard of the helm. A navigation station is aft of the helm with a swiveling armchair, chart table and chart drawer and storage cabinets. Aft of the dinette to starboard is a hanging wet locker with drain to the bilge.

To port of the companionway is the galley. To starboard is an enclosed aft stateroom. This space has sink, mirror, two reading lights, overhead light, hanging locker and double berth and an opening port in the hull side for ventilation. There are four steps up the companionway to the cockpit.

Hull and Deck

This traditional aft cockpit deck design features a modestly sized cockpit with a walk-through transom. Granny bars at the mast provide security on deck. A full dodger/bimini/cockpit enclosure makes the modestly sized cockpit comfortable on rainy Northwest sunny Mexican days.

The extra tall solid stern pulpit wraps around the cockpit and features a built-in rack for the liferaft. This sensible arrangement frees valuable space aboard while keeping the liferaft fully accessible in an emergency.

Another feature left over from the circumnavigation is the custom arch. Again, this keeps vital gear such as radar off the mast, but at a proper height, and is an excellent place to mount the various antennae and solar panels of a modern cruiser.
