Morgan 461 with new sails, new standing rigging and roller furler and so many more upgrades
This 1980 Morgan 461 is a rare find in the current market. This beauty has been continuously upgraded by her current owners who are only selling because they have determined that they can't complete their long-planned cruise on a sailboat.
She is well equipped for northern and southern latitude sailing with a full enclosure and both a winter cover and a full Caribbean shade system included. The 3 cabin layout with V-berth forward, Mid cabin bunk room, and aft master cabin along with a convertible settee in the main salon easily accommodates a crew of 8 both below and in the cockpit.
Some cosmetics remain to be dealt with, but all of the priority improvements have been made in the last few years, including a full bottom job in 2024, new propeller, dry shaft seal, shaft coupling, new sails, new roller furling system, complete new standing rigging, new windward sheeting traveler system and new stainless steel handrails to name a few.
This boat has been sailed extensively from NH along the entire Maine coast and islands, nearly to the Canadian border in the last few years. She loves to sit on her Rocna 55# at anchor with her long chain rode and has ridden out many a storm without a hitch. The secondary anchor, a Fortress 37 and rode, are carried on the bow as well and they work beautifully as a stern anchor in those tight locations when one is needed. A dedicated sail track on the mast accommodates a storm trysail and she has a matching storm jib as well.
Equipped with over 1000 watts of solar panels and a 525 amp hour AGM battery, she handles her all LED lighting system (including new LED anchor light) along with refrigeration and freezer, toaster oven and even a TV, with rarely a need to run the engine to produce power.
The plan has always been to make the trip south and upgrades and preparations have always been made with that in mind. There is an extensive list of spares on board that have always provided the sellers with peace of mind on those trips to remote areas. The spares and an extensive collection of equipment manuals will serve her next owner well and save them a lot of time and money should they ever be needed.
