Ive owned this wonderful, sturdy 1983 Nelson/Marek Morgan 36-5 for 10 years. During that time Ive rebuilt the entire boat inside and out, stem to stern, top to bottom using the best materials and methods. Everything on the boat is new. I have no doubt (with no exaggeration) that she is a better boat today than she was when she rolled out of the Morgan factory in 1983. Im selling her probably too soon, but Ive acquired another boat and Im moving in a different direction with my sailing goals. A detailed, yet probably not all encompassing list of the boats features are as follows:
This Morgan Sailboat has undergone a full restoration between 2013-2016.
Equipment: Please contact me for a full description of equipment and upgrades. Too much to list here. Hull and Deck: Deck and hull are foam cored. High-density balsa, backed with integrated carbon fiber as re-inforcementin high-load areasin the deck. All winches, turning blocks and rope clutches are additionally re-enforced with aluminum backing plates. Areas ofre-coring that have been done, were vacuum bagged from under the deck to preserve the top layer of fiberglass. All equipment fasteners on the deck that penetrate the core have been potted with West System epoxy to prevent water intrusion. Deck was spray painted with Awlcraft 2000 and coated with Kiwigrip in non-skid areas. All deck hatches were replaced in 2016 and upgraded with new Lewmar opening hatches. Bottom stripped to gelcoat, fared and coated with 8 coatsInterprotect 2000E in 2012. Antifouling is 5 coats of Seahawk Biocop (faired smooth).Interior was gutted to the hull fiberglass and bulkheads, and all bunks replaced with 1/2” marine plywood and epoxy sealed in bilge areas (below floor boards). This boat is built to last.
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)
E measurement (main boom length) reduced on later boats.
