About the MORGAN 24/25
A Universal Atomic 4 inboard was avalable as an option. Many were delivered with a 'dinette' interior instead of the one shown here. Some time later re-introduced as the MORGAN CLASSIC 250.
Designed by Charles Morgan Jr. and built by Morgan Yachts (USA) from 1965–1976, the Morgan 24/25 is a classic coastal cruiser with a production run of 460 hulls. This data-driven synthesis highlights its enduring popularity while flagging critical structural vulnerabilities common to this era of construction.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, classic sloop, particularly those comfortable with DIY maintenance given the high frequency of reported structural repairs.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 4900.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.89, the boat offers moderate offshore capability, but its age and reported hull/keel issues make it better suited for protected coastal waters than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1960s-70s American coastal cruisers like the C&C 27 or O'Day 23, the Morgan 24/25 shares similar displacement and masthead sloop characteristics, though it often features heavier ballast ratios for improved stability.
