I am looking, for a friend of mine in France, for information about
Morgan 41.

What is the difference between OI and Classic, is the difference of
price justified?


The Out Island was built by MOrgan between about 1972 and 1983 (approx).
The "Classic" was built by Morgan Division of Catalina Yachts, who
bought out the company, from 1984 to 1991 (again approx).



What are the best and worse issue of the Morgan 41?


Worst- slow & ungainly. They don't go to windward very well, and don't
steer very well. Some people really dislike the cockpit arrangement that
gives a walk-way into the aft cabin.

The best- low cost, big roomy boat. Some people really like the way they
look, too.


What are the main issue to control when you buy a second market Morgan?


Not sure what you mean here.

What is the engine really accurate on this boat?

Efficiency on voyage?

They motor very well. In fact, they make great motorboats. A friend of
ours converted a Morgan Out Island into a trawler.


Does it fit to cruising in Caraibes?


Yes, that's what they were originally designed & built for.

Quite a lot of boats are shown with fans, does it mean insufficiency

of insulation?


No, IMHO. Older fiberglass boats aren't particularly well insulated,
Morgans are above average in thsi respect.
