1972 Morgan 35 — Classic Full-Keel Cruiser | Sail-Ready, Needs Cosmetic Attention
The 1972 Morgan 35 is a well-known Charlie Morgan design valued for its full-keel stability, solid construction, and comfortable motion underway. This vessel is operational and ready to sail, providing a dependable platform for coastal cruising and weekend sailing.
Condition reflects age. The boat is structurally sound and functional, but cosmetically worn. Interior cushions, soft goods, and finishes show visible wear and staining. The galley and head are serviceable but dated. Exterior gelcoat and brightwork would benefit from cleaning, polishing, and refinishing.
Highlights
•Full-keel, moderate-displacement hull with good tracking
- Approx. 42% ballast ratio and capsize screening under 2.0
- Westerbeke diesel (~40 hp) with approx. 1,000 hours
