This “good old boat” is ready to go as a daysailer or occasional overnighter. The hull and deck are solid with no signs of blistering or softness. The engine is a 1995 Yanmar 3GM30F diesel with under 1,000 hours. It starts and runs great. Always properly serviced. It burns about a half gallon of fuel per hour at 5 kts. Talk about economical!
She draws just 3’4” with the bronze centerboard up which is great for pulling in close to a beach or a cozy anchorage. With the board down she points well and competes well in the local PHRF circuits.
This boat is truly a pleasure to sail. She sails very well with just the genoa on the Furlex roller furler to make things super easy. With the main up and the 150 genoa (there are 2) she powers through just about any conditions. The sails and both standing and running rigging are very good.
The cockpit cushions are excellent. The wiring and electrical panel were all replaced in 2016. There is an excellent stainless Origo alcohol stove and oven. There are 2 quarter berths, a V-berth forward and the dinette table drops for another good-sized berth. The head is a Domtar self-contained port-a-potty… fine for day trips.
For extended cruising or living aboard she’ll need some attention. Happy to discuss details if you have serious interest. Her pretty lines and solid construction make her a great candidate for major upgrades those who are so inclined. Or just take her as is and you have a wonderful classic sailboat to enjoy right away.

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)
The MORGAN 34 was the first real production yacht from Morgan Yachts and among the most successful. A few later versions had a separated rudder on skeg. Some later boats were sold as kits. Early boats had bronze centerboards. Later on this was changed to fiberglass.
Charles Morgan owned his own MORGAN 34 for many years.
