Built from 1983 by Morgan Yachts, this 32-footer represents the collaboration between renowned designers Ted Brewer and Jack Corey, combining traditional sailing characteristics with practical cruising features. The moderate displacement design strikes a balance between performance and comfort, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and extended passages. With its fin keel and rudder-on-skeg configuration, the Morgan 32 23 offers predictable handling and good directional stability, traits that inspire confidence in both experienced sailors and those transitioning to larger boats. The masthead sloop rig provides versatile sail handling options, while the substantial ballast ratio contributes to solid stability in varying conditions. The boat's comfort ratio of 24.25 indicates a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, making longer passages more pleasant for the crew. This characteristic, combined with the capsize screening formula of 2.07, suggests good offshore capability for a boat of this size. The SA/Displacement ratio of 15.71 points to moderate performance in light to medium air, requiring patience in very light conditions but rewarding sailors with steady progress in typical coastal winds. Morgan's fiberglass construction was known for solid build quality during this era, and many examples continue sailing today with proper maintenance.
