About the MORGANN 5.5
The Morgann 5.5 is a compact, lightweight trailer-sailer designed by Jean-Yves Manac'h and built by CN Franck Roy in France. Production records indicate it was built in 1999, with the total number of hulls built remaining unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, particularly for owners seeking a trailerable vessel that is easy to transport and handle.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 661.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.72, the Morgann 5.5 is not designed for offshore bluewater cruising and is strictly limited to protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 18-foot trailer-sailers from the late 1990s, such as the Beneteh First 18 or the O'Day 18, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and trailerable dimensions.
