Seller's Description
1969 Morgan 41 Sloop
This Morgan 41 was designed by Charlie Morgan to be a racer in the Bermuda race. Morgan only built 350 of this hull manufactured from 1967 to 1972. This is not the Out Island model.
The cockpit is situated aft with a nice size seating area. She drafts 4.2 ft, The swing keel was removed and glassed in properly by the previous owner.
The current owner purchased the boat 2 years ago and made many upgrades. He removed the diesel engine and installed a 2023 Electric Yacht QT20 electric motor and added a total of 1,415 watt solar panels with a Victron solar charger and controller. There is also a 3000 watt inverter to keep the batteries topped off when not in use.
The upgrades that the seller added were to make single-handed sailing easy. The electronics were replaced with a B&G GPS. On the bow there is a Tigris windlass for ease of anchoring. There’s 100 ft of chain and self-tailing winches, he also added a rigid boom vang.
Down below, she is in good condition with a V-berth forward, a nice hanging locker and a full stand up head with a shower. The galley table converts to a berth as well as the settee can be used for your crew.
For long range cruising, the seller also added a 20 gallon-per-hour watermaker, removed the fuel tank and added an additional water tank for nice water capacity.
This 41 Morgan has a full set of used sails including a spinnaker. She also has a 2021 Highfield UL290LT dinghy with an electric motor, He also added dingy davits to transport the dinghy while under sail.

7.5 kn
Classic: 7.34 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
-
17.1
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
-
46.2
>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
-
322.8
300-400: heavy
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
-
35.8
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
-
1.7
<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
Westerbeke 4107 Diesel 40 hp. available as an option.
The OUT ISLAND 41, a completely different design and built much later, was also at one time, called the MORGAN 41.
