Charlie Morgan 38

[fish1860]

I'm in need of any kind of info on an old Morgan 38, 1970's vintage, I'm looking at a 1970, and was curious how she sails, C/B model, Anything major I need to look out for, I'll just be coastal cruising, no racing, just relaxing, maybe a few trips to the Bahamas. Thanks for your help

Sorry, can’t tell you anything about the boat except that my first real sailing days were spent on a Squadron member’s M-38… Other than thinking it was the bee’s knees at the time (I occassionally got foredeck duty for some coastal sailing…) all I knew about it was he’d competed in the Bermuda One-Two… somewhere I’ve got a photo of me at the helm (catching one fraction of a second of the thirty seconds I spent there…)

The 38 C/B Morgan is a good sailing boat. Just like most of Charlie's designs. We have a 35 and I have sailed on most of Charlie's boats.

got one here in St Croix, USVI, half way thru a barrier coat and other refit work, just turned it over to the yard, St Croix Marine 'cause I went way overbudget on the work. If you feel like finishing it, you could probably pick it up for a song from the yard... (I can sail'em, but still learning how to fix 'em)

I know how that goes. It adds up quicker than you think. I need something stateside, Thanks

It is a great well known boat found all over the world. Designed by Ted Brewer, he was one of the best. Balances well under sail, a pleasure to sail. Mine had increases in surface area of rudder, improving balance and steering as well as moved the traveler off the cockpit - both modifications were later included in the newer 384
