The profile creates almost a “sport sedan” look for the 41DS, and it’s large polished-aluminum windows definitely sets the DS apart from its sister ships. As a result, the bright main cabin has a spectacular 6’10” of headroom. The voluminous ceilings are covered with a light fabric called Whisper-Air, which combined with the increased light entering from the sizeable newer style windows to produce a comfortable, bright and open feel. Ocean Air designer shades cover the windows when privacy is desired and add a nice decorative touch. Durable and handsome Everwear laminate teak and holly look flooring covers all the floors. The 41DS maintains the 41’s sail plan and hull shallow draft wing keel design (5ft) . The B and R rig with large mainsail and smaller headsail is a Hunter Trademark , and all the running rigging is within reach of the cockpit to make sailing single-handed a breeze. The new furling mainsail adds tremendously to this advantage. The overhead innovative traveler arch keeps the deck safe and uncluttered. A more vertical bow profile is utilized to maximize waterline length and decrease pitching motion.

The 41DS design has a large walkthrough cockpit with Sunbrella bimini, dodger with new isinglass panels and a full cockpit enclosure with screens. It also has cushioned seating and a center line folding table off the stainless pedestal and folding large leather wrapped folding wheel. Features also include a folding swim platform with stainless ladder, a transom shower and large Hunter exclusive stainless arch with added custom stainless davits for a reasonably sized inflatable yacht tender.

The interior is very spacious and feels larger than a normal aft cabin 41-foot monohull. It's great looking, well finished and extremely comfortable. When you enter the cabin, you find a large wrap around convertible settee with polished teak dining table port side along with a full galley with teak trimmed and veneered cabinets, Corian countertops, a Force Ten propane stove and oven, undercounter stainless refrigerator and separate stainless freezer, Origo microwave oven, plus stainless double sink. Starboard also has an extended settee with ample storage under and a large navigation chart table.

There are two luxurious staterooms. The forward guest stateroom features a double Pullman berth, under berth storage, cedar lined storage hanging lockers, a dresser, and a mirrored Corian countertop vanity with stainless sink. There’s a forward separate guest head with seat and shower stall. This is a great forward layout and one of the reasons many choose this efficient user-friendly layout over a typical V berth.

The aft master stateroom has a queen berth with upgraded topper mattress, with ample storage throughout, including cedar lined hanging lockers, a mirrored dresser etc… There’s an aft head with two doors, a Corian topped vanity and a glassed door separate shower stall.
