The Sceptre 41, due to designer Hein Dreihuyzen's vision, enjoys a stellar reputation as a solidly constructed ocean capable performance cruising yacht. Her balanced design includes a deck salon with inside steering without sacrificing clean lines, coupled with a full skeg hung rudder and long fin keel providing security with exceptional tracking. Her deep bilges with tankage mounted low can accommodate a row of milk crates for long range stowage.
Lucy May's owner of thirty years has equipped her with many recent, valuable upgrades for easy sailing. She has made annual visits to Clint Currie's yard for bottom work. She boasts recent North Sails inventory with a gennaker and snuffer, Leisure Furl in boom furling system with external mast track, huge Forespar solid vang, Anderson 40ST electric halyard winch, Harken MkIII genoa furling, enormous Lewmar 55 primary winches a full cockpit enclosure/ dodger with flexible solar panels and a full custom heavy sunbrella winter cover. She has both an Espar diesel hot air furnace for cabin heat AND an Espar diesel Hydronic water furnace to heat domestic water, both fueled from a custom separate aluminum tank in the bilge. A feathering three blade Max Prop propeller provides good motoring performance.
She has an Aquapro RIB dinghy with 8 hp Yamaha serviced by a Forespar stainless motor davit on the pushpit.
