We have a 410 launched in June this year, under sail or power we can hear a creaking sound from the aft of the side deck.
question Is this common or a fault with our yacht? this is the first time I have ever come across this sound after sailing many yachts. This is more pronounced on the starboard side.
maybe its common with this type of walk around deck!
I have asked our yacht broker and still waiting for an answer after many weeks!

Hi. Is the sound nearer to the stays? Does it only happen when rolling, or pounding into waves etc?
If you can make it happen (by rocking the boat for example), record a quick video and hopefully we can hear the sound and help out more.

ajv, We have a 440 not the 410 but it is a wrap around deck. We do not experienced any creaking sound like you are describing.
Do you here it while topside or when you are down below?
Warm regards,
Chuck

We had a similar problem on our S.O. 33i.
The dealer's expert took the under-deck lining down and applied more sealant/insulation to the area.
It cured the problem.
It may be worth a look?

We have the same issue with our 410 delivered in June also. Our creaking sound is coming from the deck above our port aft cabin. Our dealer said the issue is where the cabin locker pushes up against the walk around deck. He forcefully pushed/banged the top left side of the locker up against the deck and the creaking stopped! The dealer said that if it started again they might need to glue it in place. And now it has started creaking again so I need to contact him.

This sound only occurs when we are sailing or motoring, I can’t make by rocking the yacht.

This is exactly the same problem although mainly from the starboard aft walk around area. I will have to try my dealer although I already have issues outstanding with my dealer and lack of response!

Curious. I would think it is either the deck to hull seam or the joinery. If the latter then I would assume it would be louder inside. You are probably going to have to track it down while underway then hopefully your dealer will make it right.
Good luck trouble shooting.

My SO 410 had the same creak....no problem for the dealer....in construction, deck is lowered onto the furniture modules and packed with sealer etc...if you don't have a forward head all unfilled grooves etc obvious in the ceiling.... if part of the furniture touches the deck mould or too thin on filler, under pressure... will get a creak when the deck moves.
My dealer via shipwrights slightly trimmed timber (stbd cabin cabinet side) and repacked with extra sika.....problem solved.
My job done under warranty.....
cheers
