CRAZY PRICE REDUCTION! SAILAWAY TODAY! This 1984 45-4 Morgan designed by Nelson Merak and built strong and solid for cruising or club racing is new to the market and ready to go to sea. The interior layout is spectacular with a wide open salon, forward facing navigation desk, port side galley, forward guest stateroom and guest head with access from the salon, port and starboard settees and a fantastic master stateroom aft with a walk around queen berth and ensuite head. Even the companionway stairs are convenient doing away with the need for a ladder. She is cruise equipped with a newer battery banks, newer below decks autopilot, newer diesel engine, newer depth sounder, electric windlass with remote and cockpit controls, stainless steel arch holding 400 watts of solar and a 48 destroyer steering wheel. There are a few cosmetic items that need attention, but nothing major. Designed to be cruised or raced with a long encapsulated fin keel with centerboard offering a shallow draft when raised and a 7.5’ keel when lowered. The walk around decks are easy to navigate and the top deck has lots of space for lounging. All sails are roller furling and easy to operate with all self tailing winches. Blue Healer is now ready for a new captain to sail away to the islands or live aboard in comfort with the portable air conditioner that come with the vessel. If this lovely well built cruiser is of interest, please call Barry at 954-873-1800 and start your life on the water. She will not last long at this low price… This vessel is currently located on the hard ready for inspection.
Equipment: Enter from the raised centerline companionway, go down the steps and you will find the forward facing Nav desk to starboard followed forward by a long settee with storage above and water tankage below. The salon offers 6’6 headroom with a beautiful ash wood headliner and 4 large opening screened ports. Forward of the settee is the guest head with composting toilet, sink, mirror, shower and storage locker. The head offers 2 doors, one into the salon and 1 into the forward stateroom offering a large double berth, storage cabinets and lockers, overhead opening hatch as well as access to the anchor locker in the bow. Moving aft there is a huge hanging locker to port before the privacy door and aft is another long settee with tankage below and storage above. Aft of the settee is the galley with abundant counter tops, 2 burner propane stove with gimbaled oven, Microwave, hot and cold pressure water faucet and deep SS sinks. Aft of the galley with privacy door find the master stateroom with centerline queen berth, abundant lockers and cabinets and storage under the berth, ensuite private head with privacy door, shower, toilet, mirror and more storage. Blue Healer sleeps 6 owners and guests in 2 staterooms and has 2 heads with showers.

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)
