2007 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 41

Step below and you’ll see why these pilot saloons are so coveted: the raised salon windows give you a real 360° connection with the anchorage while you’re sitting at the dinette, not just standing at the galley. The interior joinery has the warm, satin finish Wauquiez is known for, with clever touches like deep fiddles, secure handholds, and generous storage under nearly every seat and berth. On deck, the cockpit is deep and well-protected, with winches and clutches laid out so a short-handed crew can reef, tack, and furl from the helm. Under sail, the hull has that reassuring, solid feel in a seaway that makes night passages far less tiring.

This Pilot Saloon 41 shines in waters where conditions can change from light air to afternoon chop and squalls. The moderate size makes it easy to maneuver into snug slips and crowded anchorages, while the hull form and ballast give it a steady, predictable motion in confused seas. The raised salon and inside navigation area mean you can keep watch in comfort during shoulder seasons or rainy fronts. With efficient systems, generous tankage, and a layout optimized for two cruising couples, it’s ideal for exploring nearby bays during a weekend, then stretching out for longer coastal hops when the forecast opens a weather window.
