Seller's Description

Set Sail on the Ultimate Bluewater Cruiser “Seanity”

“Seanity” isn’t just a boatits a dream realized. This beautifully upgraded, ocean-ready Morgan Classic 41 is built for adventure, offering both comfort and confidence as you cruise the open seas. Whether you’re setting off on a coastal journey or crossing oceans, this vessel is ready to take you there in style.

Step inside, and you’ll find a thoughtfully modernized interior designed for life on the water. A high-efficiency refrigeration system keeps provisions fresh, while a powerful Rainman watermaker ensures a steady supply of fresh water. And because mornings on deck are best with a fresh cup of coffee, there’s a Keurig K-Slim Single-Serve coffeemaker ready to brew. A water heater provides extra comfort, making onboard living feel just like home. A brand new custom mattress in the aft cabin with proper ventilation underneath supports a restful nights sleep.

Equipped with top-tier navigation and electronics, “Seanity” is a sailors dream. A Raymarine Axiom 9” chartplotter at the helm, backed by a secondary Garmin Cortex V1 with VHF and AIS, ensures confidence at sea. Autopilot capabilities with a Raymarine Smart Pilot TYPE S3 make long passages effortless, while high-definition radar and satellite communication keep you connected and aware no matter where you sail. New deck lights, an EPIRB, and a sophisticated AIS system add an extra layer of security, giving you peace of mind on every voyage. Starlink internet is professionally installed so it can be used even while underway, as well as Iridium Go! Everywhere, professional mounted with an external antenna providing even more layers of security while at sea.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.5 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

8.53 knots
Classic formula: 7.81 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.5
<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.
15.45
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
37.0
<40: less stiff, less 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

36.96
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
261.5
200-300: 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
261.49
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
29.5
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
29.46
<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
2.0
<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
1.95
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The OUT ISLAND 41 CLASSIC appeared after Morgan Yachts was purchased by Catalina. Also advertised as simply the MORGAN CLASSIC 41 it features a new deck and updated keel and rudder.
