REDLINE 41 & NEWPORT 41

Referring to a thread a while back about the Redline 41 and the Newport 41, here is the official story:
Both boats were designed by Cuthbertson and Cassian. The Redline 41 was designed in 1966 and built by Bruckmann Mfg. Ltd. The Newport 41 was designed in 1968 for Lindsey Plastics Ltd. C&C Yachts Ltd. did not officially come into existence until late in 1969.

Compartive Dimensions are:

                 Redline 41      Newport 41
 L.O.A.           41' 5"          40' - 8 1/2"
 L.W.L.           30' 0"          30' 0"

 S.A.             776 sq. ft.     741 sq. ft.      (using 100% fore)
So, the Newport 41 was about two years later and ton lighter, being a considerably shallower hull (i.e. they were two separate and distinct designs).
