Equipment: “Curlew” is a well cared for 1974 Morgan 41 Out Island Ketch. She is completely cruise/liveaboard ready. She carried her current crew of 6 from a journey from NY > ICW > Bahamas > Portland ME > NY. She is ready to go again with a new crew. Curlew only sailed on the the fresh waters of Lake Ontario until it took us to the Bahamas for a year. The second owner cared for it from 1976-2016. We are the third owners. Being a fresh water boat in the northern latitudes for all of its life except one year had a significant impact on the true age of Curlew. She does not look like a 1974 boat. She is all set for off grid living with solar panels, 12 V watermaker, and 12V converted icebox fridge. We did not have to connect to shore power or worry about drinking water. Curlew has only a 4 foot 2 draft making this boat ideal for cruising shallow waters but is built like a tank and can handle very strong winds and large swells. Curlew has a center cockpit, walk-through cabin layout with a queen sized aft cabin, V-shaped bow cabin, large engine room, large galley area, and 2 heads. There are two companion ways, one to enter the main cabin/galley and the other directly to the aft cabin. The aft cabin has ample space that sleeps 4. The bow berth comfortably sleeps two adults. The two large V-shaped cushions in the bow are each cut from two new twin sized Zinus 6” mattress with memory foam. There are two double hanging lockers in the bow. There is a large cabin with galley, salon, and settee. There is an insulated 7.2 cubic foot icebox with 12V fridge unit with two top openings. To the left of the fridge is a 3 burner propane stove/oven with two 12 gallon propane tanks in an underneath locker. The center cockpit has a bimini top and full, clear enclosure which essentially gives us an extra cabin. During the cold winter months on the ICW, and sailing on rainy, windy, cold overnight ocean passes, this enclosure kept us warm, dry, and salt-free. There is also a full fine mesh screen that covers the enclosure and even keeps out the noseeums. There are also separate screens for the 2 companion ways if you don’t want the full screen enclosure out at night. There is a full set of cockpit cushions made a couple of years ago by previous owners. In August of 2017, we tore out the heads, all sanitation lines, and holding tank which are all causes for bad smelling boats. We installed 2 composting toilets and are so glad we did.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.4 kn
Classic: 7.81 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

8.42 knots
Classic formula: 7.81 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.9
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
14.92
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
43.8
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

43.75
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
272.9
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
272.85
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
30.8
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
30.83
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.92
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

One of the most popular production boats of this size ever built. Nearly half went directly to the charter trade.
This design underwent numerous modification during it’s production life so dimensions, interior layouts and other details vary widely.
Several auxiliary engines were used although the vast majority of boats came with Perkins diesel engines. Early models were powered by Perkins model 4-108 engines or the Westerbeke model 4-107. Morgan switched to Perkins 4-154 model engines later in production. Following Catalina Yacht’s purchase of Morgan Yachts, the OUT ISLAND 41 CLASSIC was produced for several years using a Yanmar diesel engine.
Usually rigged as a sloop or ketch.
A keel/cb model was offered. (Rare)
A few links are provided here to some of the more popular variants.
