The Morgan 32 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 11,000 lb (4,990 kg) and carries 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) of lead ballast. [1] [4]
The boat has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel and 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM20 20 hp (15 kW) diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 27 U.S. gallons (100 L; 22 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal). [1]
The galley is located on the port side, at the bottom of the companionway stairs and features a two-burner alcohol stove and oven, a 7 cu ft (0.20 m3) icebox and a single sink with foot-pumped water. The head is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth. Additional sleeping accommodation is provided by settees in the main cabin and a aft double berth. One cabin quarter berth also serves as a seat for the navigation table. The cabin trim is teak with ash striping on the ceiling. [4]
Ventilation is provided by six opening ports, plus opening hatches in the head and bow cabin. [4]
The mainsheet is of a 6:1, mid-boom configuration and attaches at the bridge deck. The cockpit has two genoa winches and the genoa has inboard tracks. There are also two halyard winches. [4]
Original factory optional equipment included jiffy reefing, a bow anchor roller and pressure water. [4]
The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 86.0. [4]
