About the MORGAN OUT ISLAND 41 CLASSIC
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.
The Morgan Out Island 41 Classic is a robust cruising sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built by Morgan Yachts (USA) between 1986 and 1991, with a total production of 150 hulls. This model is characterized by its substantial displacement of 23000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 29.72, reflecting its reputation for stability and seakindliness.
- Best for:
- This vessel is ideally suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and safety over high-performance racing metrics. Its heavy displacement and moderate sail area make it a strong candidate for couples or families seeking a stable, easy-to-handle bluewater passage maker.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 23000.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.95, and a fin keel configuration, the Morgan Out Island 41 Classic demonstrates strong offshore suitability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels from this era include the Tartan 4200 and the Cal 40, which share similar displacement characteristics and cruising-oriented designs. These boats are comparable due to their shared focus on interior volume, structural integrity, and offshore capability rather than speed.
