The Offshore Voyaging Reference Site
56′ McCurdy and Rhodes aluminium cutter that John and Phyllis lived on, and voyaged some 150,000 miles aboard, over 30 years including many cruises to the high latitudes. One of the best offshore voyaging boats ever designed and a good yardstick to measure any cruising boat against.
The reasons for selling our beloved boat are not what most people think. And the real reasons, that John shares, will be of interest to many who are selecting a boat to buy.
It’s all good.
Everything you need to know about one of the most livable interior arrangements, both at sea and in harbour, you will ever find.
There are few things more interesting and useful than a tour of another experienced offshore voyager’s boat. So here’s a video deck tour of “Morgan’s Cloud”.
We have written a huge amount about Morgan’s Cloud over the years, but have not shot much video of her. Putting her on the market has inspired us to shoot a bunch. Lots of tips that will be useful to any boat owner.
A couple of commenters kindly said that the last group of videos we published about our engine room, workshop and chart table were pretty useful, even for those who have no interest in buying our boat, so hopefully these will be the same.
The sale of our beloved “Morgan’s Cloud”, a custom aluminum McCurdy and Rhodes expedition sailboat, closed yesterday.
