The Morgan 33 T, often referred to as the Morgan One Ton, represents a fascinating departure from the heavydisplacement, centerboard cruisers that initially defined Charles Morgan’s career. Launched in the early 1970s, the 33 T was a purposebuilt racing machine designed to compete under the International Offshore Rule (IOR). Unlike the ubiquitous Out Island series that favored interior volume over speed, the 33 T was engineered for the competitive circuit, specifically the One Ton class which was then at the height of its global popularity. This model served as a bridge between the classic CCA (Cruising Club of America) designs like the Morgan 34 and the more extreme IOR shapes of the late 70s. It features the characteristic "IOR tumblehome"—a widening of the beam at the waterline that narrows significantly toward the deck—and a pinched stern, which were tactical design choices to exploit the rating rules of the era.
