I am a writer and avid sailor based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On most weekends, you can find me working on my yellow sailboat No Frills and sailing in Lake Ontario, the 13th largest lake in the world. In a past life, I worked as a hardware engineer and product tester, and continue to hold a Certified Engineering Technologist designation. I am a proud crew member of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary and boat equipment assistant manager for Toronto Search and Rescue (Marine), helping to safeguard Toronto's waterspace. Our mission: Saving Lives On The Water.

Morgan 34 Used Boat Review

By today's standards, the Morgan 34 is a small boat, comparable in accommodations to a lot of 30-footers. When the boat was designed, she was as big as most other boats of her overall length. In profile, the boat has a sweeping, moderately concave sheer. The ends of the boat are beautifully balanced: the bow profile is a slight convex curve, the overhanging counter aft is slightly concave. Esthetically, hull shapes of this period from the best designers are still hard to beat.
