Morgan F & C 40
Description
The Morgan F&C 40 (where "F&C" denotes Frers & Cibils, the Argentine builder) is a scarce, high-performance masthead sloop designed by the acclaimed German Frers and produced in limited numbers starting in 1987, imported and marketed by Morgan Yachts in the US as a sophisticated racer-cruiser blending agile fin-keel handling with bluewater comfort for coastal regattas or extended passages. With its sleek lines, spade rudder for responsive steering, and efficient fiberglass construction, it appeals to discerning sailors seeking Frers' signature balance of speed and seaworthiness in a 40-footer that's roomy belowdecks with a V-berth forward, saloon settees, galley, and aft quarter berth sleeping 4–6—though its rarity (only one known example in the US) makes it a collector's item,
