Catalina Morgan 43

Catalina Morgan 43 is a 43 ′ 0 ″ / 13.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Nelson Marek and built by Morgan Yachts starting in 1985.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

AKA MORGAN 43. See MORGAN 43 for more details. Shoal draft version: Draft= 5.0’/1.52m.

Boat: Sea Ray 440
43 for a long term cruiser. Just me and the wife. Extensive sailing experience albeit in the 70's - 80's. Mostly island hopping but with desire for occasional making to stay with the Atlantic cruising circuit.

is pretty much what you expect from it and would be a good boat for the islands etc. Didn't seem to have any model common problem to look at. If you can swing it the 44 has some advantages.

Buying a mooring or slip in California.

catalina 43 sailboat

  • Add to quote

I was in Orange County yesterday. I like California I always have. I know it's not the same place I first fell in love with, and it's quite the fashion for those who don't live there to wish it would fall into the ocean, but that's not the point. The point is I am researching plans for next year. I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on buying a mooring or slip. With the intention of living aboard. I started my research in Orange County. Newport Beach. They have 450 moorings owned by the city but leased for life to individuals. Those individuals can them sell them to others. Then you have to get a liveaboard permit. I'm not sure how hard that is. But think how good it could be to own your own boat and slip in Newport Beach! It looks like they go for about $25k. It seems expensive at first, but if you were to liveaboard at a marina it will cost 600-800 anyways so the mooring would pay for itself after a while. Or Santa Barbara does something similar with slips. It's hard to get a slip but you can own the lease and sell a boat with it. Santa Barbara has liveaboard permits, and they have a limit. But what I could find out was they have only given out about half available. I'm thinking it is because the slips are so expensive. I saw a Catalina 30 with slip for $50,000. Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge of how this could work out in real life? I would want to be damn sure I had a liveaboard permit or could get one. Is this a dream that could be made reality or is the red tape involved too hard. I'm open to other suggestions as well. San Diego has a cheap mooring field that you rent....  

catalina 43 sailboat

Moorings in Newport use to sell for about $1000/ft two or so years ago. Prices have dropped to less than $500/ft now. That's been due to a change in the way you can transfer a mooring. The city put a time limit,10 years or three transfers within ten years, at which time the only way to transfer the mooring would be to return it to the city and they would issue to someone. No more private transfers. I believe there are 7 or so years left till that takes. There are also monthly maintenance fees and a bi-yearly inspection needed. For a 40' mooring that runs about $200/mo. I believe (up from about $50 when they changed the law for above). There are live a board permits and they are issued depending on the location and number of live a boards in the mooring field. They do charge a fee and require you to keep logs of tank pump outs. I'm guessing that's standard. For more (accurate?) info, call the Newport Harbor Patrol. They are really helpful despite being run by the OC Sheriffs. Look on Craigslist or The Log newspaper for ads.  

500 a ft. So you don't say "I've got a 30 foot boat". You buy the lease to a 45 foot mooring. So they are around $25,000? How risky is it? Say you bought one. Can the harbor take it back because thy don't like you and you are left with nothing? Do you think it is hard to get the liveaboard permit? I have to call harbor resources to get that info, but a lot of time it's better to get the lowdown from locals like yourself. Do you see any liveaboards out there? I would be the low key, quiet type with a nice boat I actively sail weekly. Not just a floating home. It just sounds like it could be so great. Living in Newport Beach, taking trips to baja and Catalina. Up to Santa Barbara. Taking my dinghy out to the avenues to surf or bodyboarding the wedge. After the initial payment for the boat and mooring. Loving for the couple hundred a month would be a great life. I cruised a bit last summer. Sometimes I stayed in a marina and sometimes I anchored. But when I got a mooring ball in friday harbor, That was the way to live. It's far enough away that your neighbors aren't right next to you. A nice level of privacy. But without the worry about leaving it at anchor while you go to shore if its windy.  

northoceanbeach said: 500 a ft. So you don't say "I've got a 30 foot boat". You buy the lease to a 45 foot mooring. So they are around $25,000? Click to expand...

where do you think you are going to park a car and/or store your dinghy while on land? I think that could get VERY expensive, very fast in newport beach. Also, the habor department people are just total dicks I'd look anywhere BUT newport/dana point (same sherrif dept)  

BTW, this is a typical response from someone who really doesn't know much about the city. Newport just expanded/renovated all of it's public docks and added a new one. Dingy tie ups are allowed for up to 24 hours at all of them, and I believe, there is a 72 hour limit on a couple of them. Some are used more than others so you may have to do an initial hunt for a regular dock to use, but it shouldn't be too hard. The last few times I've tied up overnight, I was the only boat there. It is November though. Parking in Newport isn't bad either, if you're in the know. If you are at H field, you would be parking on the peninsula. A yearly pass for MOST meters in the city is $100. You wouldn't want to move your car on a busy weekend though. For other fields, parking would be free, you just need to move for the street sweeper. As for the Harbor Patrol, they are Sheriffs. Their job is to be a dick to people, not a job I would like. Having said that, I've had mostly good experience with the Harbor Patrol office people. Never had to deal with the guys on the boats but I always wave as I pass them and they do the same. I've heard stories about the harbor patrol but it's always about a "friend's brother from Irvine" who had the issues with them. Just sayin'. YMMV.  

Oh, one more thing. You can rent a mooring from the city on a daily or weekly basis. This time a year it's $16/day I think. It goes up to $26/day during the busy months. This is cruising season so a lot of moorings are empty. You could rent at a couple of different areas to see which is best. I'm guessing you could liveaboard while doing so as long as you don't draw attention to yourself and move every couple of weeks to a new mooring. Just an idea.

Don't forget moorings in Catalina . There is a waiting list for a leased one . But you can buy one out right in Avalon . If I were you I'd just get out here, get the boat you want rent for a while then decide .  

If the original poster has any sort of military connections there might be a few more options. For example, military can rent moorings in southern San Diego bay. And someone whose parent was military could be eligible to join the American Legion as a "son of the American Legion".  

No military connections. I really, really appreciate the advise.  

Oh, Your talking about THAT Newport Beach. You're right it sucks. Stay in LA.  

catalina 43 sailboat

And you are right, Dana's even worse, however it's the only harbor I know where if you forget to lock something, it's still there when you come back.  

I've called the sheriff on the phone twice and they were super friendly. I asked about the moorings and told them what I wanted to do, and they gave good information and were friendly. They didn't try to dissuade me from buying a mooring. He even told me about how they recently built a new dinghy dock so now they have seven or something. When I asked the second call it was a woman and I asked how long I could rent a mooring for and how much and she was friendly too, and said they are $16 a day and I could rent one as long as I liked. The only thing they cautioned me about was there are changes to the way moorings can be sold. I'm not saying they were nice or not based on my brief encounter over the phone, you know, but it wasn't like calling a marina and you have to tippy toe around the liveaboard issue. I called a couple marinas too and Ventura was the friendly one, where redondo, and places in san diego sounded a little more standoffish. I don't see why OCSD would hassle sailboats in the harbor anyways. I'm not saying their reputation if they have one is unfounded, just that they sounded nic to me, and Newport Beach is a big time sailboat center, why would they discourage sailboats?

Catalina Island

An easy drive from Santa Barbara, Catalina is perfect for families looking for adventure and couples seeking a bit of romance for the day or a long weekend. Make sure to book golf carts, bikes, and excursions, such as dive boats and tours, in advance, even if you’re just day-tripping.  is easier for many to get to than some L.A. neighborhoods. Leave the city’s notoriously snarled freeways behind in favor of an hour-long ferry ride toward the horizon, and soon the honking horns “overtown” (island-speak for the mainland) give way to seagull squawks.Yes, crowds swell during summers and on weekends, but plan to visit this Fall on a weekday and it’s hard to believe this beach town belongs to the nation’s most populous county. With fewer than 400 cars and trucks permitted on the entire island, Avalon is blissfully smog- and road-rage-free – there’s not even a stoplight. What you will find, however, is an inviting slice of old California shimmering as bright as the golden garibaldi fish that swim off its shoreline, plus hiking, biking, and four-wheel-drive fun just minutes outside the town limits.

Arriving visitors first spy Catalina Casino at the north end of palm-fringed Avalon Bay, but there’s nary a roulette wheel or neon light inside. Wrigley Jr. had the round, 12-story-tall building constructed in 1929 as a venue for big-band legends, who kept its 20,000-square-foot dance hall swinging. These days, guided tours take visitors into the casino’s nooks and the main level’s Avalon Theater, a 1,180-seat, acoustically perfect cinema that hosts the   each September.

Colorful tiles depicting birds and island life line the path from the casino to Crescent Avenue, Avalon’s waterfront walk – a nod to the now defunct Catalina Island Pottery. Its hand-glazed tiles are embedded in sidewalks and adorn public buildings, private homes, and fountains around town. About half are reproductions, says Robin Cassidy, a potter and the owner of  , who works with the city to repair and replace damaged tiles. She also leads two-hour workshops for visitors to create their own.

Most residents get around on golf carts; visitors can rent them by the hour at   for easier access to views from the steep hills above the harbor and attractions farther afield, such as the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden. But since Avalon is only four blocks long, it’s easiest to dip in and out of shops and restaurants on foot. Early arrivals can pop into   for a latte and avocado toast with a view. For lunch: shellfish and other seafood dishes at   or the recently opened Naughty Fox, home to a patio ideal for people-watching over plates of ahi poke nachos and grilled fish tacos. The local happy hour call is a Buffalo Milk, the island’s boozy frozen cocktail of vodka, Kahlúa, crème de cacao, and banana liqueur.

But in order to discover the beaches and hidden spots that really make Catalina special, you have to get out of Avalon. Jutting from the main beach, the Green Pleasure Pier serves as the departure point for kayaking, diving and snorkeling trips in the surrounding kelp forests, and the  , an open-air speedboat that zips along Catalina’s impressive coastline to the small outpost of Two Harbors (population 300) for hiking, swimming, or chaise lounging at the beach club. Boaters can charter a yacht to sail the coast and anchor at deserted coves.

The island’s interior is where Catalina separates itself from your average California beach getaway, whether you’re in search of Catalina’s endemic gray fox and resident bison on a four-wheel-drive excursion, heli-hiking or heli-mountain-biking, or burning off a Buffalo Milk on moderate hikes on the island’s hundred-plus miles of trails. Trekkers can set out on a multiday tramp along the Trans-Catalina Trail, a 38-mile odyssey.

a

Catalina’s biggest surprise by far: the existence, so close to L.A., of an island where the buffalo literally roam, and where, in the course of a day, you can hike a mountain, snorkel in the sea, and be dressed (in flip-flops) for a locally caught lobster dinner just in time for a SoCal sunset.

Father and son still missing after boat capsizes in treacherous Columbia River Bar

by Bobby Corser

The U.S. Coast Guard on the scene of the capsized vessel in the Columbia River - Video still from Dillon Warren

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The United States Coast Guard says that 43-year-old Constantin Leahu and his 11-year-old son, Andrei Leahu remain missing after they were tossed overboard on Saturday, July 13 in the Columbia River Bar.

READ MORE | Coast Guard suspends search for two missing after boat capsizes on Columbia River

Coast Guard crews searched for the two missing people for 10 hours, covering 148 nautical miles, Briana Carter, USCG spokesperson told KATU’s Emily Girsch. Multiple boats and helicopters were used in the search.

“Constantin had this ability to bring out the best in people and look on the bright side of things and not dwell on the negative. It was very contagious to be around his energy. His loss is monumental for us,” said Irina Negrean, a family friend.

A 26’ boat capsized last Saturday around 10:30 a.m., sending five people into the water. The Coast Guard was able to recover three people, however, one of the three was declared deceased.

Irina Negrean says 11-year-old Andrei Leahu was excited to go boating with his father Constantin Saturday when the unthinkable happened. "He was all about his siblings. He could be seen holding his baby sisters all the time."

The family has established a GoFundMe .

Officials say the Columbia River Bar is one of the most dangerous waterways in the world to navigate.

Our previous reporting stated the missing adult was 54 years old. New information confirms that he is 43 years old.
