The beautiful proportions and sailing characteristics of the Nelson Marek Morgan 454 make her a dependable open water boat while her centerboard allows for inshore activities few 45’ boats can claim. Designed by the powerhouse duo of Bruce Nelson and Bruce Marek, this boat built by world renowned Morgan Yachts is as dependable today as the day she was built. Capable of trips to Maine as well as the Bahamas, not only is she fast for a 45’ boat, (PHRF of 81) her air conditioning and heat options will allow the new owner many months of shoulder season sailing.
This boat is FAST. 8 knots with just the Genoa unfurled is common, and down below this boat is absolutely spacious, loaded warm hardwoods, and sparkling clean. She has 2 fully enclosed cabins, both with full center-line queen beds, 2 full heads with showers and TONS of storage.
This boat has been sailed and lightly raced all around New England and lovingly maintained and upgraded every year by her current owner. She is a perfect live-aboard or weekender for a family and can be 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)
