Description
Description
Ted Brewer designed the Morgan 384 with a distinct blend of elegance and practicality, reflecting classic design elements like a teardrop-shaped hull, wide beam, and long overhangs that might evoke a vintage racing boat. However, this model was crafted for cruising, offering a predictable and comfortable motion under sail, a responsive helm, and a stiff, fast performance that excels at cutting through chop and pointing high, making it a reliable companion for serious sailors.

If you're looking for a solid and well respected bluewater cruiser that has been thoughtfully updated, this is the boat for you!
