Margan 35 Tall Sloop
Description
The Morgan 35 Tall Rig Sloop is a versatile coastal cruiser and occasional racer from Charles Morgan's early portfolio, built by Morgan Yachts in Largo, Florida, starting in 1970 as a masthead sloop with keel/centerboard and spade rudder configuration, blending IOR-era influences for responsive handling in bays or short offshore legs while offering a practical fiberglass hull with modest teak interior (V-berth forward, saloon settees, galley, and head sleeping 4–5). The tall rig variant enhances light-air performance with increased mast height and sail area over the standard setup, making it appealing for variable winds on the East Coast or Great Lakes, though its production run (through the 1980s, ~140 total built) position it as an affordable vintage starter boat for novices or restorers seeking Morgan heritage without the scale of larger Out Islands.
