Seller's Description

Looking for a solid cruising sailboat or liveaboard that wont break the bank?

This Ted Brewer-designed 1977 Morgan 382 racer/cruiser has great lines and is known for its sailing ability. And with a desirable layout, tons of storage, and a brand-new oversized Mantus anchor and Lofrans windlass, shes ideal for a trip to the Caribbean or Bahamas. In fact, she has already cruised the Caribbean and is itching to go again this winter. A handy owner can easily fix a few cosmetics issues, and the vessel is priced to sell quickly.

The boat is on the Tennessee River near Chattanooga and can easily be sailed to the Gulf of Mexico via the Tennessee River and Tom Bigbee Waterway system to Mobile Bay. From there, the world is your front yard!

Medical issues got in the way of our adventure. This is the opportunity to live yours!

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.4 kn

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

8.03 knots
Classic formula: 7.4 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.1
16-20: good performance

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.
16.14
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.0
<40: less stiff, less powerful

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

39.99
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
267.2
200-275: moderate

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
267.17
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
29.0
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
28.97
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

First introduced as the MORGAN 38 though entirely different from the model by the same name that came out in 1969.
Updated in 1981 with a taller rig, modified rudder, larger water tank, and numerous changes to the interior.
Updated again in 1983, it became the MORGAN 384. Catalina Yachts purchased Morgan Yachts in 1985, but this latter model remained in production for another year. Approximately 500 boats were built under it’s varying iterations.
