Just into Cardinal Yachts sales in July, this rugged Targa 41 boasts a newly designed hydrodynamic hull, a quieter engine room, and a larger cockpit with an expanded seating areas for social interaction.
Entering aft from the wide swimstep that can either be fixed or hydraulically raised, boaters are greeted with a generous space on the aft deck. Bench seating sits to starboard with an L-shaped sofa to port, each of which have expandable teak tables. Next to the salon entrance, another portside bench can be raised to reveal a refrigerated storage compartment. The walkaround teak side decks lead to the foredeck sun pads. While the cockpit and foredeck are open for maximum sunshine, a sunshade can also be purchased for both areas.
Inside the aft sliding glass door to starboard, the teak-lined salon includes an upholstered, U-shaped settee to port that is wrapped around a teak table large enough for six. Just aft of the sofa is a hi-lo TV screen that can be lowered into a cabinet when not in use. Large salon windows provide great views, but also feature sunshades and polarized glass to cut down the glare. The compact galley sits opposite the dinette to starboard, equipped with Corian countertops, a hide-away sink, a gas cooker, a refrigerator, and a microwave oven, along with space for an optional dishwasher and ice maker.
The pilothouse is directly forward, with the helm situated to starboard, flanked by a separate forward-facing bench to port. Three opening sunroofs are accessible directly above the helm, which boasts twin Raymarine screens, throttle, joystick, and bow-thruster controls, and an adjustable wooden ship’s wheel. Some pilothouse options include carpet trim, a gas-dampened adjustable helm chair, and an angled teak box for the recessed chartplotter.
Up top, accessed by molded ladder steps from the aft deck, the open-air flybridge has identical helm controls and a Bimini top to protect from the elements. Just aft of the helm to starboard is an L-shaped bench seating area that includes a fold-forward backrest that can convert into a U-shape around the teak table.
Belowdecks are two completely separate cabins for additional privacy. In a first for Targa boats of this size, the cabins have large, horizontal hull windows with opening portlights to let in fresh air and natural light. The forward cabin includes a foredeck sunroof and can be reached through a portside hatch in the pilothouse dash. The queen-sized berth is wedged into the angled bow, and an en suite head and walk-in shower are located just aft to starboard. The aft cabin is accessible only from a curved stairway from the salon, featuring a double berth to port and a single berth to starboard. A day head is also found adjacent to the staircase.
The standard engines are twin Volvo Penta D6-440 sterndrives that produce a combined 880 hp and can rocket the Targa 41 up to 40 knots in a sprint or cruise comfortably at 22 to 32 knots. Targa also offers two IPS650, 960-combined-hp pod drives as an alternative to provide greater joystick maneuverability.
