Boat is located in Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Excellent condition.
PHRF competitive, 198 rating.
Good racing history: 48 North top 20 boats 2005. # 16.
Great weekend cruiser; many sails 2011 and older: UK main good and genny fair, Ullman genny well used, North spinnaker new, and Neal Pryde spinnaker old, and more.
Sails are good for club racing and cruising; new sails recommended for high level competition.
Equipment: Harken windward sheeting traveler, Anderson and Lewmar winches, Gauer mainsheet tackle, VHF, compass, depth sounder, knot meter, 4 stroke 9.9 Evinrude outboard electric start; new life lines 2011, new standing rigging 2014, 3 burner/oven alcohol stove not installed, Taylor cabin heater not installed, bottom paint July 2020.
Many extras.
Before looking at this boat, look at an Alerion 28, $50k-100k, the Morgan 27 is competitive boat for boat, and has a higher rating than the Alerion.
I have raced and cruised this boat for 20 years, I’m 85 years old and now need a boat that is easier to race single handed.
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Atomic 4 inboard was an option.
When Morgan retired this design, the tooling was passed on to a series of different builders including Chrysler, (CHRYSLER 27) and TMI (TMI 27).
