Storebro Royal Cruiser 410 Commander

Information

The Storebro 410 Commander was released in 2004 and was a completely newly developed model. It offered a more attractive design than her rather boring big sister Storebro 475 Commander. Many of the negative points of the big sister were removed. During the production period the boat was permanently upgraded. The hull of the SRC 410 Commander was also used a year later for the Nimbus Nova 42 and is currently still being used by Nimbus for the Nimbus 405. The SRC 410 Commander shared the hull with the Nimbus Nova 42.
In addition to the standard white hull, the SRC 410 was also offered with a dark blue hull. This variant was in great demand in Great Britain, among other places.
The ship completed the Nimbus/Storebro Commander product line of boats from 34 to 47 feet.

The space utilization of the ship is excellent. Old virtues like a bench for the passengers were taken up again. The ship has two sliding doors for quick exit to the side.
As a part of the facelift an alternative to the first available 2-cabin version, the 3-cabin version was developed. Access to the second guest cabin was created by cutting off the shower of the owner's bath. For this cabin the unused storage space beneath the drivers-place, which was previously difficult to reach only through a hatch, was used.
For the model year 2008, a new two-cabin layout was presented. The guest cabin was now equipped with three beds, so that the ship possessed now by default five permanent berths. A little problem was the poor ventilation of the 3-bed guest cabin. The standard equipment included only one port light on the starboard side. This problem was solved on the Storebro 435 Commander, which got two port lights on starboard and one on the port side.

Unlike its sister model, the Nova 42, which followed somewhat later, the SRC 410 Commander was only available with shaft drive. While the prototype was equipped with the well-known Volvo Penta TAMD63P engines, each with 261 kW/355 hp, the other boats were fitted with the new Volvo Penta D6 engines. The standard engine was then the D6-310I with 223 kW/303 hp on the shaft. Although this was significantly inferior to the TAMD63P in terms of performance, its acceleration and power curve were considered better and more harmonious.
It was not until construction number 4521 that the Volvo Penta D6-370I with 267 kW /363 hp at the shaft was used. With one exception, this engine then became standard for the SRC 410 Commander. The performance of the D6-370I also took into account the weight development of the ships.
In the meantime, the D6-330 has also been listed in the price list. However, this was never installed in a SRC 410.

Compared to the first ships, further boats obviously became somewhat heavier. While the first brochure pictures show a 410 with the side inscription "Storebro Royal Cruiser 410 Commander" and the water pass with a blue ribbon below the bathing platform, later models with "Storebro 410 Commander" and a blue ribbon at the water pass can be seen, which extends all the way to the bathing platform. This also visually stretches the somewhat chubby line of the ship.
