Selling for my late brother's wife a sweet sailing 1971 Morgan 22. It has some superficial cosmetic issues, scuffs, and scratches, but is a solid, sturdy vessel with the "bullet-proof" Morgan pedigree, newer knot-log, full set of decent sails, heavy-duty tandem trailer with recently-new tires and spare, and a lightly used Nissan long-shaft outboard. This vessel originally sailed/raced in Lake Superior. It is the sister of my own '69 Morgan 22 which won its share of races. For example, my '69 won outright the long distance 2002 Kentucky Lake Fall Riddle Cup (against some serious competition - the only time we competed in that race). We had the smallest boat in the race, and all others had to give us time (some had to give us a lot of time, e.g., the 34 and 38 footers). We were in J&M class, which started after the Spinnaker class cleared the line, making our actual start signal a bit over ten minutes later than the Spinnaker class start. We finished ahead of ALL of the J&M class, finishing with the leaders of the Spinnaker class, between 4 and 5 minutes after the first-to-finish Spinnaker boat, and (if I recall correctly) only three or four of those finished ahead of us. We won on actual time - not by handicap. After the race, before awards were handed out, other racers were overheard pondering, "What the h _ _ _ kind of boat was that?" referring to the Morgan 22.
My point? My cruiser is as stable and comfortable as any small vessel; it is a stock Morgan 22 which can hold its own as a pretty respectable race vessel. My brother's 22 is better equipped for racing. It is essentially the same boat, but it has both the standard rudder and an extra race rudder (shallower, but longer fore and aft); it has a centerboard-slot-closing device which reduces turbulence when the board is up; and the shrouds are mounted on the cabin instead of gunwales, allowing the jib to be sheeted in a foot or so closer on either side, which lets the boat sail closer to the wind. It has a unique robust tabernacle (deck hinge), which makes raising/lowering the mast a simple task. We won our share of races in our 22. My brother's Morgan should routinely beat mine any day. So, up for sale is a solid 1971 Morgan 22. It can use some cosmetic work, but it is ready to sail. It comes with a good tandem axle trailer with extendable hitch, complete set of sails, and a lightly-used Nissan 3.5 hp long shaft outboard. My sister-in-law wants to sell it. I'd snap it up, but I own four sailboats already. She is asking $4500 with sails, ob motor, and trailer.I can provide more photos, if interested. Thanks for looking.
