Built from 1986 to 1991, this classic cruiser represents Morgan Yachts' commitment to comfortable, seaworthy design for serious coastal and offshore sailing. Charles Morgan crafted the Out Island 41 Classic as a masthead sloop with traditional proportions and proven performance characteristics that have earned respect among cruising sailors. The boat's substantial 23,000-pound displacement and generous beam of 13.83 feet create exceptional interior volume while maintaining excellent stability. Her fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration offers a good balance of performance and directional stability, particularly valuable for long-distance cruising. The moderate 4.83-foot draft opens up more anchorage options while still providing adequate performance to windward. With a comfort ratio of 29.72, this Morgan delivers the motion characteristics preferred by cruising couples and families, while her capsize screening value of 1.95 indicates good stability for offshore passages. The 781 square feet of sail area provides respectable performance without being overpowering for shorthanded sailing. Only 150 hulls were produced during the five-year production run, making this a relatively exclusive design. Morgan's reputation for solid fiberglass construction and practical layouts made their boats popular choices for serious cruisers seeking reliable, comfortable passage-makers capable of handling both coastal adventures and blue-water voyaging.
