The Morgan 30 is a 29.92ft masthead sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built in fiberglass by Morgan Yachts between 1968 and 1971.
320 units have been built.
The Morgan 30 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
