'Music II' is a beautiful Morgan 41 Classic, 1988, center cockpit, stunning condition with significant upgrades. She's Canadian registered and currently anchored in southern Grenada, safely out of the hurricane zone. Her owners have just finalized an 18-month sailing journey North-South of the entire Caribbean chain, and will remain on board until sale is complete. She’s truly ready to go!
The Morgan 41 Classic is a wonderful solid sailing boat that easily handles strong blows and big seas. Has a comfort ratio of 29, typically achieved by much larger yachts. She has ample storage, good headroom of 6'7" in all cabins and a large cockpit, and saloon that can seat 8-10 for an evening of entertainment.

What is the Morgan 41 Out-Island sailboat like to sail?
Based on Published Design Ratios for the Morgan 41 Classic:
The Morgan 41 Classic 'Music II' is described as having a 'twin headsail Solent Rig'. How does this differ from the cutter rig?
The Cutter has its two headsails set well apart with the inner stay attached a distance down from the masthead and aft of the stemhead.
On a Solent Rigged sailboat, the headsails are set much closer together with both stays attached close to the masthead and the stemhead.
But of course, there's rather more to it than that, each of the two rigs having significant benefits and disadvantages when compared to the other.
