Morgan 38 (Catalina)
Description
The Morgan 38 (Catalina), also known as the Catalina/Morgan 38, is a center-cockpit, aft-cabin cruising sailboat designed by Gerry Douglas. Produced by Catalina Yachts after their acquisition of Morgan Yachts, it was built from 1993 to 2005, with fewer than 100 units made. It's well-suited for coastal cruising or live-aboard use, emphasizing comfort and practicality over high-performance racing.
