1986 43' Morgan Center Cockpit

Expired
$54,900 USD

Seller's Description

$5,000 Price Reduction!!! Owner says SELL NOW!!! The owner of this much sought after Nelson-Marek designed Morgan/Catalina 43’ CC has made many upgrades during his four year ownership. Changes in life’s circumstances has resulted in the seller making the difficult decision to put this great “Live Aboard” vessel back on the market. 90% of all the ports and hatches have been replaced. The SOLE has been completely refinished. She easily sleeps six and the aft master cabin queen bed comes with a new mattress and a private head & tub. The large forward “V” berth double and pull-out salon couch can accommodate additional guests. Loads of storage throughout this vessel is a BIG plus. Forward of the aft master stateroom you will find the engine room which is spacious and easy to access. There is a hanging locker on the port side with a bank of drawers next to it. Moving forward to the galley which features double stainless steel sinks with plenty of counter work space. The owner has replaced the propane stove & oven with a electric stove top range. (buyer needs to purchase & install). The main salon is spacious and incorporates the couch on the port side witch converts to a double bed. The navigation center with a chart table is also on the port side with easy viewing of all the necessary navigation instruments. The guest head is to starboard and can also be accessed by a second door in the forward “V” berth. The newly added hardtop ($25K value) with a fully enclosed cockpit area has massive opening shatter proof glass windows and zip up side curtains. Dinghy Included with sale

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.0 kn
Classic: 7.97 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

8.96 knots
Classic formula: 7.97 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.5
<16: under powered

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.
15.54
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
34.9
<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

34.89
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
237.8
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
237.79
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
30.0
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
29.95
<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
1.88
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft version: Draft= 5.0’/1.52m
Similar to CATALINA MORGAN 43/44.
An updated version? became the MORGAN 44 (1989?)
