Some people see a 27,000 lb project sailboat as half a century of neglect, but we see it as the ticket to our next sailing adventure! Welcome to our first official walkthrough of our new home and project sailboat: a classic 1976 Morgan 41 Out Island Center Cockpit Ketch. In this episode, we take you on a complete deck inspection—from the bow pulpit, windlass, and standing rigging down through the cockpit, custom carved teak hatches, and aft deck. Then, we dig into the nav station and unearth a massive goldmine of original 1970s documentation, vintage chart kits, historic receipts, and forgotten artifacts left behind by previous owners. We are launching a full multi-year refit to turn this 50-year-old Charley Morgan (1929 -2023) design into a full-time liveaboard and off-grid blue-water sailing cruiser.

And launched in 1939 as the last of ten 12mRs by legendary yacht designer Henry Rasmussen. She quickly proved her speed under the burgee of the @nrv.1868 . Later serving in the German Navy under the name Ostwind, she returned to private hands in 2005. Between 2006 and 2008 she was meticulously restored to her original plans in Flensburg. This restauration led to the formation of our yard. Today, sailing proudly under the @flensburger_segel_club, she continues her story as one of the finest examples of 12mR heritage. @robbeberkingclassics
