Seller's Description

Morgan 382 Year: 1980 Hull Number: MRY22221M80G Length: 38 Draft: 5 Good shape. Everything is functional. Boat has been sailed only lightly in the Choctawhatchee Bay since I bought it in 2013. Boat is located in Niceville, FL. New standing rigging was installed in 2013. New sails were purchased from Schurr Sails in Pensacola, Fl in 2016. These are heavy duty sails suitable for cruising. It has a Raytheon Auto Pilot and a Garmin 741 xs which functions as the depth finder and GPS. This device is NMEA 2000 compliant. I installed two 160 watt solar panels on an aluminum structure aft of the cockpit. The structure also holds a wind generator, a mounting spot for a radar, and will hold a dinghy. I installed an Airmar 200WX on the top of the mast and ran the NMEA 2000 cable down thru the mast but never installed the power cables. It is a fairly expensive device ($1199.84 in 2013) but, at the time, I thought it was powered by the NMEA 2000 cable. This device provides true heading, wind speed, and a host of other information. The boat is powered by a Perkins 4-108 diesel that runs well. The air conditioner has been removed but I have a brand new marine 16000 BTU A/C that includes a 17000 BTU heater. The unit has never been installed. However, all the boat valves and drains are in place and the A/C power is available. Note that all the original valves have been replaced with bronze seacocks. I have located a place in the cabin that would work well for this installation. I have a Hercules 2 speed mechanical windlass that is also not installed. However, I have cut all the metal and located a place for it to be installed. The windlass functions correctly, is in good shape and the gypsy is sized for 5/16 chain which is what I have on board. The boat came with a secondary fore stay that can be maneuvered out of the way when not in use. A large stay sail attaches to it. I have these items stored as they are not useful when sailing the bay in light winds. The boat has two biminis that can be hooked together as well as all the parts for a soft dodger.

Equipment: Raytheon Auto Pilot, Garmin 741xs GPS and depth finder, Solar Panels (320 watt total), wind generator, VHF radio

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.4 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

8.03 knots
Classic formula: 7.4 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.1
16-20: good performance

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.
16.14
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.0
<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

39.99
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
267.2
200-275: moderate

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
267.17
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
29.0
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
28.97
<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
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

First introduced as the MORGAN 38 though entirely different from the model by the same name that came out in 1969.
Updated in 1981 with a taller rig, modified rudder, larger water tank, and numerous changes to the interior.
Updated again in 1983, it became the MORGAN 384. Catalina Yachts purchased Morgan Yachts in 1985, but this latter model remained in production for another year. Approximately 500 boats were built under it’s varying iterations.
