1980 Morgan 461 Sloop
This 1980 Morgan 461 is a rare find in the current market. Her current and past owners have continuously upgraded and maintained this center cockpit.
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. She has 3 cabins with a V-berth forward, a mid-cabin bunk room, and an aft master cabin, along with a convertible settee in the main salon, and can easily accommodate a crew of 8.
Some cosmetic repairs remain to be completed; some recent improvements have been made in the last several years, including a full bottom job in 2024, a new propeller, a new propeller shaft, a dry shaft seal, a shaft coupling, some new sails, a new roller furling system, complete new standing rigging, a new windward sheeting traveler system, and new stainless steel handrails.
This boat has been sailed extensively over the years. She loves to sit at anchor on her Rocna 55# with long anchor chain and rode and has ridden out many a storm without a hitch. The secondary anchor, a Fortress 37 and rode, is secured at the bow as well, and it works beautifully as a stern anchor in tight locations when needed. A dedicated sail track on the mast accommodates a storm trysail, and she has a matching storm jib.
This Morgan is equipped with over 1000 watts of solar panels and a 525 amp-hour AGM battery; she powers all of the LED lighting, including an LED anchor light, along with refrigeration and a freezer (both need recharged), a toaster oven, and a TV. You rarely need to run the engine to produce power. An air conditioner in the companionway keeps the boat temperature controlled.

Condition:
This Morgan was sailed from Massachusetts to Florida recently and has been living aboard. The boat still has some personal gear but will be cleaned out. The starboard side hull has some rash from towing a Boston Whaler with it. The electronics are good, but there is an electrical issue in the wind gauge. The raw water pump has been purchased and needs to be installed. The refrigerator and freezer will need to be recharged.
