1987 Morgan Out Island 41 Classic

Listed
Expired
$76,000 USD

Seller's Description

After 15 years of building 1000 Morgan Out Island 41 sloops, Morgan Yachts decided to change up a couple of things and build the Morgan Out Island 41 Classic. Only 150 of these were ever built.

Weighing 4,000 lbs less than the original, with a 40 sq ft larger sail area, the Classic is a much better sailer, and even sails closer to the wind than her predecessor.

This Morgan has only been used off the coast of Southern California.

With two staterooms, the Morgan 41 is a fantastic vessel for extended trips with the family or crew. The forward V-berth will sleep two, while the Captain’s cabin has a nice queen bed. Both cabins each have their own head with shower.

The Galley is outfitted with a double stainless steel sink, fridge, and icebox, and the seller currently has an electric cooktop on top of the propane burners for the stove/oven.

In the salon, the convertible dinette can have the table up for meals, down for a berth, or against the wall to create a lounge for entertaining. Both pilot berths on each side of the boat have been converted to storage space.

Above decks, the huge cockpit is large enough for everyone to enjoy the sail, while the skipper can rely on the Garmin GPS-radar and Simrad autopilot to get you to your destination.

This Morgan has spent its life in the Southern California area, but it will make for great adventures worldwide, with the Yanmar 44 hp motor and shallow draft.

The only two sails onboard are the reefable main and the jib.

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
200-275: 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
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.
