I suggest a subscription (free in all cases) to
, morgan @ both list. sailnet.net and
sailjazz.com (free trial in minor cost annual or quarterly subscription) -
there are many OI 51 owners there...

Skip, who disagrees about downwind on both, having seen firsthand that they
go reasonably to weather, particularly the 51 with 9' swing keel

Does anyone have any pro's and con's on the Morgan 51 IO? Thanks.....Ron


Great live aboard.

Sails like a barn door, strictly down wind.

BTW, same applies to the 41 OI.
