Seller's Description
Morgan 45 Sailboat WITH TRAILER Length 45.67 Beam 11 Draft 6ft 6inches Displacement 28,000 lbs Ballast 12,000 lbs
This boat is a bare hull. There are some bulkheads, but nothing else in the interior. It has a mast (approximately 50) and two furlers on the deck. This boat is an amazing sea boat and will take you wherever you wish to go.
Prior to purchasing the boat, I had Ted Brewer review the lines and give me feedback on the design. Ted said The boats numbers are rather positive in my opinion. These figures show a very solid boat for her day and one that will stand up to Cape Horn The very low CSF number is indicative of a boat that can recover very quickly in event of a capsize. The ballast ratio is very high by modern standards, indicative of a powerful hull and one that will stand up to a heavy breeze. With that 12,000# of lead the boat will have excellent stability..One of the big advantages of narrow beam is the very low CSF number of 1.51. This indicates that, if knocked down by a beam sea or even capsized, the 45 will right herself quickly, just like a child’s dumbell toy. The heavy displacement and moderate beam combine to give a very high Comfort Ratio which shows that the boat will not be corky and bouncy in choppy seas. She will have a relatively comfortable motion compared to many modern craft with lighter displacement and over generous beam.
I hired Ted Brewer has designed a new 1000 square foot (approximately) twin headsail sloop rig. He has also provided drawings for a tall rig and another with a bowsprit. The drawings of the rigs, chain plate and sprit designs are included with the boat.
Two photos of a completed Morgan are included. Email for links with more info.
Equipment: 50 Foot Semi Boat Trailer Make - Waldron Model Aldura GVWR 48,000 lbs Year - 1986
This lightly used trailer has been privately owned (non commercial) and has never been in salt water. In 2015 the trailer went through a major overhaul including; - new brakes/calipers, air lines and tank. (air over hydraulic brakes) - paint job - professionally fabricated/welded stands - new adjustable jacks pads - removable/adjustable keel support - new straps and load binders
Dimensions - Boat and Trailer Combined Length: 14.93 m Width: 3.35 m Height: 4.01 m Weight: 15513 kg Total height of boat and trailer is approximately 132 Trailer is 48 behind pin

Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
- ?
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
- ?
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
- ?
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
- ?
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
