Notes
First 2 boats raced in the SORC of 1970, one owned by the designer.Some differences between the MORGAN 42-2 and the earlier version are as follows: The propeller is in front of skeg (instead of within a skeg cutaway), a slightly deeper keel, and slightly different rig. Diesel engine avail. as an option.Sloop or yawl. Thanks to 'windtoyiv' for updated information.TALL RIG:I: 53.00'J: 16.75'P: 44.80'E: 16.80'Working SA: 820 sq.ft.
