Seller's Description
Located in Miami, Florida, this 1979 Morgan 41 Out Island is a great ketch set up for enjoyable cruising and a comfortable liveaboard.
Accommodations as described by the seller:
“The forward cabin contains V berth. There are large shelves port and starboard along with drawers underneath.
Just aft on the starboard side there is a head and shower unit which has a 12-volt electrical flush toilet and a stainless steel sink, vanity, and a storage cabinet below as well as large storage cabinets above and outboard of the marine head.
To port is a large double locker. In the main salon there is a straight settee (berth) on the port side which has a shelf above it and two large rolling door storage units. There is also storage below the settee.
Opposite and on the starboard side is an L-shaped settee with a dining table that drops to make a double berth. There are also two large storage shelves. Aft of the starboard settee is the L-shaped galley with a two-burner stove & oven, deep double stainless steel sinks with hot & cold pressure water. There is a corner worksurface aft of the stove which contains the top-opening refrigerator. There are enclosed cabinet shelves providing ample storage.
Opposite and to port is the navigation station with a large chart table that has drawers and large icebox. The walk-through to the master cabin starts aft of the navigation station and has a large shelf opposite of the access to the engine room. The large engine compartment provides excellent access to the engine and systems.
The master cabin starts with a large, half-height hanging locker. The berth is aft and very large with storage cabinets above it and outboard on both sides of the berth and a bookshelf across the stern. In addition, there is a large drawer below the berth. The master head and shower is located forward on the starboard side, with a vanity, stainless steel sink, and cabinet storage.”
Beautiful wood throughout maintains its nautical charm! This Morgan 41 Out Island is offered at a great asking price and won’t last long!!

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
- 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.
- 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
- Displacement/Length
-
272.9
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
- 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
- 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
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)
