Seller's Description

I have a 1979 Morgan 33 Out Island. The photos do not show the new bottom paint. This boat has a 4 ft draft. She’s located at the Indiantown Marina in Florida. She has a new bottom paint job and has not been back in the water since, new cutlass bearing and inside shaft packing. There are 3 new West Marine deep cycle batteries and a new start battery. New Promariner 120volt 3 bank battery charger. All of the 12volt and 120volt electrical systems have been tested. She has an upgrade 120volt electrical panel and some new wiring. There are 2 Solar panels and a new controller. Some of the thru hulls, seacock valves and hoses have just been replaced. She’s been on the hard at the marina for about 3 years. Standing rigging looks good, running rigging is inside the cabin and is in good condition. Main sail and main cover and a headsail. There’s an aft support with solar panels on it. The wind generator is being removed. Interior is in good condition for the age boat. There is a Dodger and Bimini that I recently removed due to the location and my height. There’s 3 anchors and rodes. The engine is a Perkins 4-108 with unknown hours, alternator just rebuilt. But I showed 2000 engine hrs but total is unknown. I am located in Houston Tx, but I have a good guy at the Indiantown Marina that can show you the boat. Price is Firm. As is condition and where it is. On the hard. I’m not interesting in financing.

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.
