1982 Morgan 321

Listed
Price Reduced
$10,500 USD
$13,500

Seller's Description

Price Reduction: $10,500 Very well built and fun to sail, with a spacious cabin and cockpit. Makes for a great first boat for learning and weekending on. Would also be a good boat for one or two people to liveaboard/get-away.

The slip rental is transferrable, you will just need to contact the marina to set this up. Big plus as marinas in our area are full.

Do a search for “morgan 321 sailboat” and you can read about the boats qualities.

Sleeps 6, with two cabins and two settees (couches). One head (bathroom).

Needs a little TLC…nothing major. Not a “fixer-upper”.

We almost completely re-wired the AC and DC electrical on the boat. It is wired and “plumbed” for air conditioning but the current unit failed due to lack of dredging (sucked up mud) at our marina.

Upgrades we had planned to do: - Needs a new jib, the current one just ripped, but otherwise ready to sail as we currently use it for our sailing school. A new jib has been quoted around $1200-1400 or you can purchase a used one for about $400 to $800 to last you a couple years.

  • We bought new red paint to repaint the topsides (outer hull) but have not had time.

  • The bottom will need to be re-painted.

  • As you can see in the interior photos, we planned to replace the carpet, but have decided to let the new owners choose their color. New carpet runs about $150. The template is shown in the photos.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.9 kn
Classic: 6.7 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

6.91 knots
Classic formula: 6.7 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.0
<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.
15.95
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
36.4
<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

36.35
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
314.3
300-400: heavy

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
314.32
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.1
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
24.06
<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
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.07
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft: 4’/1.22m
(Drawing is of shoal draft version.)
MORGAN 321, 322, 323 seem to be similar.
