Kiel Classic 41: The retro-twin-decker from Brodersby is the shipyard's first hardtop yacht - and offers a little bit more of everything.

Not everyone starts small. Peter Neumann did, at least as a boat builder. Disappointed by what the market had to offer, the renowned yacht photographer presented his idea of the perfect boat to the astonished visitors of the hanseboot at the end of the nineties. It was 9.10 metres long, with a shape strongly reminiscent of the Admiralty launches, which is probably why it was given the name Kiel Classic 27.

The idea of creating a successful synthesis of classic shapes and modern technology found many fans and encouraged the Neumann team to gradually create an entire Kiel Classic series. The new flagship "der Kieler" shows real size, and not just in its dimensions. Just like its little sisters, the new "Kieler" is a real backdecker. Kiel Classic 41 with excellent workmanship, comfort and home-made safety, which can be seen not least in the rough water properties and the modern drive system with electronically controlled diesel engines and Duoprop-Z drives.

Inside, the 13.77 metre long KC 41 offers a saloon, bathroom, owner's cabin and guest cabin. When it comes to comfort, hardly a wish remains unfulfilled. The owner decides whether the helm station is located in the wheelhouse or - as in the open-top version - in the open cockpit.
