The Morgan 302 represents a significant pivot in the design philosophy of Charley Morgan and Morgan Yachts. While the company was primarily known in the late 1960s for its graceful, Cruising Club of America (CCA) influenced centerboarders like the original Morgan 30 (often called the 301), the 302 was a response to the emerging International Offshore Rule (IOR) and MORC racing trends of the early 1970s. Introduced in 1972 and produced until roughly 1976, the 302 replaced the shallowdraft, fullkeelandcenterboard configuration of its predecessor with a contemporary fin keel and a skeghung rudder. This shift targeted a different market segment: sailors who prioritized upwind pointing ability and clubracing performance over the gunkholing capabilities of the earlier model. Roughly 150 of these hulls were produced, distinguished by a much broader beam (over 11 feet) and a truncated reverse transom that echoed the highperformance designs of the era.
