    Mast Partners and Wedges

    I loosened the shrouds a bit and ran a line to the mast to a turning block then the main winch. It didn't take so that much tension. I had to pull it starboard, port and forward one side at a time to make room all around. then filled with the provided clay, got it smooth then put on Vaseline...

    Mast Partners and Wedges

    I just installed spartite on my 382. I used the clay that came with the kit to fill any voids around the collar and partners that would prevent the spartite and mast from being unstepped in the future. Then put Vaseline on everything except the mast so hopefully the spartite will only adhere...

    large fixed ports on 382

    Hi John, If been talking to Richard at nfm for the passed couple weeks about getting new portlights. He said there was another owner interested as well. That price got me thinking I may be better off the fixed portlights to the 384 size of aprox 6x26. Still mulling it over but I'll know in...

    Inner Forestay, Storm Sail, Headsail Question

    I'm in the process of finishing an inner forestay on my 1980 382. Thanks for adding to the wealth of information on this. Mine is mainly for heavy weather, long term upwind situations and the ability to work with less expensive Hank on sails without taking down the 130 genoa currently equipped...

    Hopefully I can revive this old thread. and this is a bit of a wormhole, so come on down. I'm discovering more separated/non existent tabbing on celerity 1980 382 #207. The search started with noticing a very weak spot on around the galley sink thru hull. I can push the outside of the hull...

    Hurth Transmission

    I tried transatlantic today but she had already left, I'll call back tomorrow. My hbw10 seems to work fine and I have maintenance records back to 02 from an amazingly meticulous previous owner. Hour meter shows only 1300 hours...taking that with a grain of seasalt however..Definitely...

    Hurth Transmission

    Thanks Dave! I think the ratio may have changed over the years. This is a copy of the old hurth manual, saying forward is 1.79:1. The variprop rep also said the hbw10 was 1.79:1. and reverse 1.86:1. Still not sure enough to bet $2k on it...

    1979 Morgan 382 caught in Hurricane Irma Offshore

    That looks pretty rough. Does anyone have an update on what failed onboard that caused them to lose sailing and steering ability? I could hear the coast guard saying in the video, "this would be a whole lot easier if they had some of that front sail up." Did they ever locate the boat with the...

    John, I just purchased a 1980 382 a couple months ago. The po put long eye sta lok terminals on all the shrouds, the port forward lower has a longitudinal hairline crack about 1" long. I got the rig professionally inspected and they noticed a couple more cracks in the long part of the sta loks...

    Leaking around rudder post Morgan 382/1978

    FYI. I just finished replacing the flax on our 1980 382. It took 1'11" of 1/2" for 3 rings. I put our 8' dinghy and a 40gal trash can on the bow and filled both with water, my 3yr old niece loved having a kiddy to play in! it raised the stern enough that barely a trickle of water came in...
