The Pedrick-41 is a very livable boat that sails very well. With an experienced crew and properly maintained, it is a capable blue water cruiser. For these reasons, this remains a popular choice of cruising sailors.

The boat's layout features a spacious main saloon with settees and a centerline table, a large V-Berth cabin forward, and a double quarter berth cabin aft. The starboard midship head includes a separate stall shower, while the U-shaped galley on the port side is suitable for preparing meals even while underway. The navigation station allows for easy communication between the navigator and helmsman.
