1973 Morgan Yachts 41 Custom CB Yawl
Linda Marie is a unique and one-of-a-kind 1973 Morgan 41 Yawl, originally purchased as a "kit-boat" in 1971 and completed and launched in 1973 by a master shipwright carpenter, Harvey Hawthorne, with interior oiled-teak cabinetry and a layout unlike any of the others. Her graceful & bullet-proof Full-Keel/Centerboard solid fiberglass hull only draws 4'3" with the centerboard up and 9'5" when down, for exhilarating upwind performance offshore. Owners report that they rarely drop the CB because she sails so well with it up, prompting some to comment, according to Practical Sailor, that "it didn't matter if it was blowing 7 knots or 18 knots, you can leave the helm, go get a cold drink below, come back, and find the boat just as you'd left her."
She has a traditional layout with an unusually large 6'7" L. x 7' W. Master V-Berth, head with toilet & vanity to port, storage cabinets and drawers opposite, spacious Main Salon with 6'6" settees on each side & Twin 6'6" Pilot Berths outboard and above the Settees, followed by the Nav table to Port, Galley opposite to Starboard, and a 6'6" x 26" Quarterberth aft to Port. Nearly every inch of vertically accessible surface is finished with exquisitely detailed oil-teak cabinets and drawers, providing incredible storage and a fit & finish comparable to Hinckley, Bristol, Cheoy Lee & Alden yachts.
Recent upgrades include a 2003 40hp Westerbeke Diesel with low hours, Hood Roller Furling in 2013, a Garmin EchoMap 50s Chartplotter/Sounder in 2014, and in 2016, the bottom was stripped and 5 coats of InterProtect 2000 barrier coat epoxy was applied plus fresh Trinidad anti-fouling paint.
Practical Sailor had this to say about this classic Morgan 41 model:
"A great upgrade candidate for any handy and determined sailor, the Morgan 41 is a well-designed, cross-purpose boat with the face of a classic, the heart of a racer, and the body of a cruiser. The Morgan 41 Sloop is arguably one of the best looking of many lovely dual-purpose sailboats that the Cruising Club of America handicap rating system engendered. One owner described his boat as a "Bermuda 40 for a regular Joe, only prettier."
You won't find a better example of this classic Centerboard Yawl which has been loved, pampered, and upgraded by her knowledgeable owners for the past 28 years. Call today to schedule a personal inspection.
