The Morgan 42 2 is a 42.0ft masthead sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built in fiberglass by Morgan Yachts since 1969.
The Morgan 42 2 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
