Morgan 45 Sailboat WITH TRAILER Length 45.67 Beam 11 Draft 6ft 6inches Displacement 28,000 lbs Ballast 12,000 lbs This boat is a bare hull. There are some bulkheads, but nothing else in the interior. It has a mast (approximately 50) and two furlers on the deck. This boat is an amazing sea boat and will take you wherever you wish to go. Prior to purchasing the boat, I had Ted Brewer review the lines and give me feedback on the design. Ted said The boats numbers are rather positive in my opinion. These figures show a very solid boat for her day and one that will stand up to Cape Horn The very low CSF number is indicative of a boat that can recover very quickly in event of a capsize. The ballast ratio is very high by modern standards, indicative of a powerful hull and one that will stand up to a heavy breeze. With that 12,000# of lead the boat will have excellent stability..One of the big advantages of narrow beam is the very low CSF number of 1.51. This indicates that, if knocked down by a beam sea or even capsized, the 45 will right herself quickly, just like a child's dumbell toy. The heavy displacement and moderate beam combine to give a very high Comfort Ratio which shows that the boat will not be corky and bouncy in choppy seas. She will have a relatively comfortable motion compared to many modern craft with lighter displacement and over generous beam. I hired Ted Brewer has designed a new 1000 square foot (approximately) twin headsail sloop rig. He has also provided drawings for a tall rig and another with a bowsprit. The drawings of the rigs, chain plate and sprit designs are included with the boat.
