“Morgan’s Cloud”—McCurdy and Rhodes 56-foot Aluminum Cutter

We have now sold our beloved 56′ McCurdy and Rhodes aluminium cutter that we owned, lived on, and voyaged some 150,000 miles aboard, over 30 years, and bought a new boat that will also be named “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.

November 15, 2020October 27, 2020 by John Harries

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.
