Morgan 34 - Centerboard

Overview

This classic 1966 Morgan 34 Centerboard Cruiser is a well-equipped, Bahamas-proven vessel ready for both coastal cruising and bluewater adventures. Designed with the heritage of the Cruising Club of America (CCA), the Morgan 34 combines a moderate displacement hull, a full keel with a centerboard for shallow-water access, and a balanced sail plan—qualities that make her a reliable and versatile cruiser. The boat’s sailing characteristics reflect the CCA philosophy of blending offshore seaworthiness with comfortable handling and good performance, especially upwind thanks to the centerboard. 

Inspired by the legendary cruising style of Lin and Larry Pardey, who championed simple, self-sufficient, and safe voyaging, this Morgan 34 is outfitted to support traditional seamanship with numerous modern conveniences. She comes fully equipped with Sitrex radar, Spectra watermaker, Pelagic autopilot, Monitor windvane, SSB, VHF, Garmin AIS and chartplotter, solar power, Seafrost refrigeration, Force 10 stove, a Portland Pudgy dinghy with outboard, a reliable Volvo 27hp diesel engine, and amble battery bank monitored by a Balmar system. Her standing rigging and sails, including a full batten main, are solid and ready for offshore passages. 

Having just returned from the Bahamas fully outfitted and cruise-ready, this Morgan 34 offers a proven platform for sailors seeking a capable, time-tested cruiser with all the gear needed for safe and comfortable offshore sailing. Whether you’re dreaming of island hopping or tackling longer passages, this boat is ready to carry you there with confidence and style.
