We chartered a Morgan 41 Out Island (ketch) many years ago out of Ft. Lauderdale for a trip to the Bahamas and back. They are heavy cruisers, not great on speed, but safety is key. With their heavy ballast, wide beam, high cockpit coamings, midship design and shoal draft design they do well in not so kindly sea conditions. We encountered remnants of hurricane Bob coming back from Nassau and she handled well in 50+ winds and rough seas. It took all hands to keep her going, but we were glad that it was the 41! Dollar for dollar they are wonderful live aboards for the price offering that spacious aft cabin, engine access and nice galley, dinette, settee area. Glad you h ad such a great adventure.
