Hi all,
I'm brand new to this owner site and my recent (as of about 2 weeks) interest in all things Morgan 38 2/3/4 has found me here. I have to say there exists a wealth of information and for that I am grateful. Having owned/sailed many boats throughout the course of the last 20 years or so, I once again find myself obsessed with getting back into a larger cruiser. My current vessel is a 1968 19 foot Bristol Corinthian (which I'll probably never sell), but my need for venturing further and longer has become stronger.
I most previously owned a 1986 Hunter 34, and although roomy, I never did fall in love with her lines nor her sailing characteristics and sailed her back from Maine and promptly sold her.
I am really beginning to appreciate what I see out of the Morgan 38. Beautiful lines, enough room down below and well constructed. I find myself leaning towards either the 383 or 384, but just need to find the right boat.
Can any, or all of you point me in the right direction related to what exactly to look out for? I know there must exist some known deficiencies in these models, but knowing what is allowed and what is clearly something to steer away from only comes from knowledgeable owners like you. Any help, offers of encouragement, etc., will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
