Notes

First introduced as the MORGAN 38 though entirely different from the model by the same name that came out in 1969.
Updated in 1981 with a taller rig, modified rudder, larger water tank, and numerous changes to the interior.
Updated again in 1983, it became the MORGAN 384. Catalina Yachts purchased Morgan Yachts in 1985, but this latter model remained in production for another year. Approximately 500 boats were built under it's varying iterations.
