Here are capsulated stories of the early design efforts of Charley Morgan and the "custom" yachts who's racing successes formed the basis for his later founding of The Morgan Yacht Corporation, or became early benchmarks in the company's progress and examples of Charley Morgan's continuing yacht design efforts.  Highlights of their records will be posted in the Morgan Hall of Fame.
These days, many viewers are unaware of the extensive earlier racing heritage of the earlier Morgan designed yachts who's campaigns were in many instances crewed and or directed by Charley Morgan, Bruce Bidwell and others of the earlier Morgan team. Most of the earlier racing was conducted under the old CCA handicapping rule.
Linked pages will show principal dimensions, drawings, photographs and comments on each design
