Newport 41
sailboat class
The Newport 41 is a family of American sailboats that was designed by C&C Design as International Offshore Rule (IOR) racer-cruisers and first built in about 1972.
Production
The design was built by Lindsay Plastics and later by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California, United States. Capital built the various models from about 1972 until the early 1990s, but it is now out of production.
Due to poor surviving documentation, the dates of production and new model introduction are considered to be approximate.
Design
The Newport 41 design was based upon the 1969 C&C Yachts Redline 41 Mark II. The design went out of production in 1972 and C&C sold the molds to Enterprise Yachts who then resold them to Lindsay Plastics who built some boats, and then to Capital Yachts.
The Newport 41 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars, a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, a spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed swept fin keel.
Newport 41S is typical of the models for interior layout. The 41S design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, screened by a curtain, an L-shaped settee with a fold-down dinette table and a straight settee in the main cabin, with an optional pilot berth above, and an aft cabin with a berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Newport 41” as sailboat class. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as sailboat class. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q96395499. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1972 and 1969.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
