Owners Comments and Boat History

The boat still retains all original documentation from when she was built, including technical drawings. She has had only three owners in her lifetime, with the previous owner caring for her for 25 years and providing valuable support throughout the recent refit process and familiarization with the vessel.

She was purchased in Port Charlotte before sailing to West Palm Beach for refit work, and has since cruised through the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic. She has never been used in charter service.

This Morgan 40 is a solid and proven offshore cruiser that has been thoughtfully refitted for comfortable Caribbean cruising and liveaboard life. Equipped with renewable energy systems, updated equipment, multiple sail plans, and dependable Perkins diesel power, she is ready to sail today.

Built with a thick fiberglass hull and full encapsulated keel, she offers excellent protection for both the propeller and rudder. Her robust construction, generous tankage, versatile sail inventory, and forgiving handling characteristics make her an ideal platform for extended cruising.
