About the Morgan 32

With limited specifications available, the Morgan 32 represents part of Morgan Yachts' legacy of producing practical cruising sailboats during the company's active years. This 32-foot vessel was designed with the coastal cruiser and weekend sailor in mind, offering a blend of comfort and seaworthiness that Morgan became known for throughout their production run. Morgan's approach to boat building typically emphasized solid construction and livable interiors, traits that likely extend to this model. The 32-footer would have been positioned as a capable coastal cruiser, suitable for extended weekends and week-long adventures along protected waters and nearshore passages. Like other Morgan designs of its era, this boat probably features a traditional layout with practical cabin arrangements designed to maximize the available space. While detailed specifications remain elusive, the Morgan 32 would appeal to sailors seeking a reliable, no-nonsense cruising platform without the complexity of more exotic designs. The boat's size makes it manageable for couples or small families while providing enough interior volume for comfortable extended stays aboard. For prospective buyers interested in classic American fiberglass construction with proven cruising capabilities, the Morgan 32 represents an intriguing option worth investigating further.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.

Performance Ratios
PHRF Rating PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is a national racing handicap measured in seconds per nautical mile. Lower values indicate faster boats. Ratings are sourced from US Sailing's national database (median across 60+ regional fleets).
Under 0 — Ultralight racer0–90 — Performance racer90–150 — Cruiser/racer150–210 — Typical cruiserOver 210 — Heavy/slow cruiser
186
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
16
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
24.28
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
2.07
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.7
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
