About the MORGAN OUT ISLAND 415
A variant of the original OUT ISLAND 41 that was the first to have the 'walk through' interior. Some had a taller rig. (rig dimensions and other details vary widely) Replaced with the MORGAN OUT ISLAND 416 in 1981.
Designed by Charles Morgan and built by Morgan Yachts (USA) from 1975–1981, the Morgan Out Island 415 is a robust cruising sloop with 300 hulls produced. Its full/long keel and 27000.0 lb displacement reflect a design philosophy prioritizing stability and seakeeping over speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who value a stable, comfortable platform with a 34.97 comfort ratio, making it ideal for couples or small families seeking reliable bluewater capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low 1.85 capsize ratio, 306.68 D/L ratio, and full keel configuration, the 415 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering excellent directional stability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to the Tartan 4200 and O'Day 42 due to similar full-keel, heavy-displacement designs from the 1970s that prioritize motion comfort and structural integrity over planing performance.
