1985 Morgan 384
Description
Description
Ted Brewer designed the Morgan 384 with a distinct blend of elegance and practicality, reflecting classic design elements like a teardrop-shaped hull, wide beam, and long overhangs that might evoke a vintage racing boat. However, this model was crafted for cruising, offering a predictable and comfortable motion under sail, a responsive helm, and a stiff, fast performance that excels at cutting through chop and pointing high, making it a reliable companion for serious sailors.
This particular Morgan 384 has been lovingly cared for by her current owner for nearly 20 years, including the addition of a New Beta Marine 50HP diesel, with only 126 hours, newer sails and rigging (including standing rigging), new portlights, and so much more! If you're looking for a solid and well respected bluewater cruiser that has been thoughtfully updated, this is the boat for you!
