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.

When the boats are not in the water the outboards are run each month to assure they are working properly and to reduce the chances of fuel related problems.

READY, STEADY, GO! SW96 Liberty embarks on her 7500-mile Maiden Voyage from Cape Town to the Mediterreanean Sea. The owner, a European yachtsman on his second Southern Wind Yacht, expressed his satisfaction after his first sailing experience in Cape Town: "The final product has fully met my expectations of building a performing yet very stylish yacht. Being at the helm for the first time in the beautiful setting of Cape Town’s bay was fantastic, the culmination of a long process where all parties involved brought to the table their professional skills as well as their enthusiasm and passion for this kind of projects". Fair wind, Liberty!
