The 1980 Morgan 382 is a well-regarded cruising sailboat designed by Ted Brewer and built by Morgan Yachts.  The 382 strikes a strong balance between performance and cruising comfort. Built during the era when boats were often overbuilt, the Morgan 382 has a solid fiberglass hull with strong structural integrity and are regarded as being tough and seaworthy — many have crossed oceans. Built with a Fin keel and skeg-hung rudder giving it a good mix of maneuverability and tracking.
Here are some notable benefits of the Morgan 382.
Performs well upwind, especially for a cruising boat — decent PHRF rating (~114–120).
Balanced helm and relatively fast for its class.
Traditional but functional layout — spacious salon, U-shaped galley, nav station, V-berth forward, and a roomy quarter berth.
Teak trim and wood interior add to the classic charm.
6’2” headroom in most of the cabin = very livable.
Excellent access to engine and systems, which makes maintenance easier.
Many owners have taken the Morgan 382 on serious blue water voyages — a testament to its capability as a liveaboard or cruiser.
