Designer notes
The Bashford Howison 41 was based on the hull design of a successful ILC 40 from the pen of Iain Murray. The deck layout was designed to comply with the IMS Cruiser Racer rule and is practical and user friendly. The laminates were designed to American Bureau of Shipping scantlings which make for a strong light structure. The design was first launched in 1994 in time for the 50th Sydney Hobart race in which there were nearly 500 entries. Hull #2 Raptor dominated the race and was placed first overall in a top fleet.
