Morgan Catalina Morgan Classic 41

Rabbit Hole is a stunning and exceptionally well maintained Catalina Morgan 41' Classic Masthead Sloop w/ Center Cockpit, shoal draft keel and  3 cabin interior layout. Currently situated in her home Port of Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage Appleton Blvd Placida Florida. When not being sailed by her current and second owner she is laid up out of the water. Bottom taken back to barrier coat and 5 coats of bottom paint re-applied February 2025.

Rabbit Hole is probably the nicest Catalina Morgan that I have had the pleasure of listing and deserves an awful lot of enthusiasm in this market of sailboats rigged and ready to set sail well under under $100K.

Rabbit Hole is a masthead sloop with a center cockpit, shoal draft keel and three cabin layout. The Morgan Classic 41 is also known as the Morgan Out Island Classic.

The Yacht has been meticulously refined over recent years. Ideas from the owners, new innovations in materials and equipment, and of course federal and maritime upgrades in regulations are a few of the influences on the continual upgrading. Today the Out Island 41 is contemporary in both concept and detail.

Major features in the design of the Out Island 41 Classic are:

1. Shoal Draft without the usual problems associated with center boards, but accepting some compromise in windward performance.
2. Maximum usable space below decks.
3. Dedicated to the preservation of aesthetics.

The basic approach to styling was to maintain a low profile without the traditional high trunk cabin. This was accomplished by using a modified flush deck design. A low sheer line was created by the rub rail detail and contrasting whale stripe. The result is a low appearing freeboard with an actual positioning of the weather deck well above the water line.

Maximum interior space was accomplished primarily through her wide beam. The beam to length ratio of the Catalina Morgan 41 is .34 (Most sailing yachts center around .30). The maximum beam also provides good hull form stability which, is important in cruising sailboats, especially those with shoal draft keels.

The wide beam provides more than the usual amount of clear deck space and room for a large center cockpit. The center cockpit allows space below for a large engine room amid ships.

The engine room location provides a substantial physical separation of the aft stateroom and the main salon, resulting in a high degree of privacy for a yacht of this size.

The raised flush deck and center cockpit offer a very high degree of visibility in all directions, under sail or power and the deck surfaces are clear and high out of the water, making topside work easier and safer in the roughest of weather
