This is our Transworld 41 http://gallery.me.com/hampus_mat#100...r=black&sel=21 built by http://www.transworldyachts.com/ Click on "Sailboat" to the left and you get a picture of one. I think they are still in production. Same hull as the Formosa/CT/Island Trader/etc 41, but with a center cockpit. The interior layout is totally different from the lot of them, so is the way they were/are built. The Transworld were built without plywood core in the decks, it's just teak directly on GRP, no core. Masts are stepped on dec and not on the keel, for good and bad. Chainplates are on the outside of the hull and are reinforced with GRP on the inside instead of plywood. Tanks are real stainless steel. Pretty much everything that's considered to be bad or poor quality with the rest of them have been built away by the Trans World yard. Ours is a 1979 and she's still in excellent condition, still free from rot (except main mast step which will be fixed later this month). they usually turn up if you search ads for either Trans world 41 or, for some reason, Island Trader 41.
