The Morgan Yachts 382, a 38-foot cruising sailboat designed by Ted Brewer and built between 1977 and 1982, sells today for $20,000–$45,000 on the used market — roughly the price of a used pickup truck.▶ 7:06 Morgan produced about 300 hulls, making examples reasonably common.▶ 3:03 The boat measures 38 feet 4 inches LOA with a 12-foot beam, 5-foot draft, fin keel, and skeg-hung rudder.▶ 3:32 Displacement is 17,000 pounds with 6,800 pounds of lead ballast, yielding a 40% ballast ratio.▶ 3:50 The sail area-to-displacement ratio is 16.2, comfort ratio 29, and capsize screening number 1.87 — well under the 2.0 offshore threshold.▶ 4:38 Hull speed calculates to 7.4 knots; one magazine test recorded 9.6 knots in the Chesapeake Bay.▶ 5:05 Construction is solid fiberglass below the waterline with foam-cored topsides and deck.▶ 5:22 The original engine is a Perkins 4108 diesel, with 40-gallon fuel and 55-gallon water capacity.▶ 5:52 The interior features teak bulkheads, a forward V-berth, center saloon, nav station, and aft quarter berth.▶ 6:31 Known issues include fuel tank corrosion, early-model undersized rudders (later owners upgrade to the larger version), water tank leaks, bulkhead problems near the head, and hull blistering.▶ 8:19 The Morgan 38 Owners Forum is the primary community resource.
