1981 Yorktown 41 CC

This is a very rare, factory built, Yorktown Center Cockpit that is in Very good cosmetic condition inside and out and features lots of upgraded cruising equipment.

The Yorktown 41's are known to be very heavily built vessels capable of long distance cruising. Like many boats of this area, most of these boats were sold as unfinished, kit boats leaving the interior accommodations up to the owner to finish. This particular vessel is one of the very few, factory finished boats ever made and her craftsmanship down below is stunning. This vessel would make for an amazing, budget long distance cruiser, comfortable livaboard or weekend warrior.

Accommodations/Walk through

Down the fwd, center cockpit companionway it drops down to the U-shaped galley to port, flip up navigation station with storage to starboard along with the passage way leading to the aft, owner’s cabin. The spacious main salon is directly forward of the companionway ladder and has been factory finished in beautiful, varnished, teak hardwoods and a teak and holy sole and has 6'2" of headroom. There is an ABUNDANCE of storage found throughout the main saloon and the entire boat for that matter. Moving fwd into the main salon, there is a U shaped dining settee to port that also converts to a double berth when dropped which can be used as additional berthing for two guest. Across from the dinette and to starboard is a straight settee and single berth.  Moving forward from the main salon, the forward V-berth cabin also accommodates two guest and provides generous storage in both hanging lockers and drawers along with a private head and separate stall shower. Moving all the way aft again to the companionway, to starboard is the navigation station followed by the walk through leading aft to the master stateroom. The owner's stateroom has a queen berth with storage under, multiple hanging lockers and an enclosed head to port. There is a 2nd companionway to the cockpit from the aft stateroom as well. The engine is accessed from under the companion way stairs leading to the cockpit which makes working on the engine a breeze. Moving up to the center cockpit you will find that it is extremely large and features a deep well, high back seating that makes the cockpit not only comfortable but safe and secure as well while underway. There is ample room for 6 in the cockpit for sailing and 10 for cocktails.

In the early 1960s, actor Henry 'Hank' McCune of television's The Hank McCune Show (the first show to ever use a laugh track) left show business and became one of the earliest builder of fiberglass boats in the US. 
His yard was originally located in the Long Beach CA area. The best known models are VICTORY 21 and the ALL-AMERICAN 28 (designed by McCune). This latter boat, introduced in 1962, was an offshore racer that featured a fin keel and spade rudder. 
In the 60's McCune started building a series of cruising sailboats to his own design known as Olympians, the largest of which was 35 feet. Few of these seem to be still around. From a later, revamped lineup came the Yorktowns, many of which are still sailing.
(Another boat called the TALISMAN may well have come from a Yorktown mold. Many of the Yorktowns were sold in varying states of construction to be completed by the customer.

The factory fuel tank in the engine compartment failed and was removed by the owner. There is a 12 gallon, temporary, plastic, non below deck approved fuel tank currently installed. The new owner will need to install a new fuel tank in the vessel.
