1986 Morgan 384 for sale

Sixteen years ago this May, we purchased PANACHE from a couple who had listed it on this site and thus started a new adventure for our family. Time moves along, priorities change and now we find the need to move along and turn the helm over to someone who perhaps is looking for the same things we found with the ownership of this very fine sailboat.

If you're interested in buying PANACHE, please send an email and I will send you information on the boat which is currently in Maine. I plan to list it with a broker later in February if there is no interest here.

Nice, she is beautiful , if I had not just bought one I would be your huckleberry ! Getting her home would have been a good adventure. Good luck!

Same here, it would break my heart to have to sell mine.
That being said, i do have a friend in the market and i will pass this on to them.

Thank you Tom and Rene. No, this is not an easy thing to do and I'm just going to have to wait for that second happiest time of boat ownership although I really kind of doubt that's true.

It isn't true. That line was quoted from someone that didn't like boating all that much. After all, if you don't care that much about them, you are "really" unhappy owning one because of all the expense. And for people in the same state of mind who hear the quote laugh at how true it is. If you do enjoy them, the only happiness in selling yours is the opportunity to buy another who has caught your eye

At least that's my experience... Maybe doing your homework before you buy your boats could make a huge difference too. With the M38 you really can't regret it if you love sailing, sailing well, and in sailing in comfort.

"If a man must be obsessed by something, I suppose
a boat is as good as anything, perhaps a bit better than
most. A small sailing craft is not only beautiful,
It is seductive and full of strange promise,
And the hint of trouble."
