1981 Morgan 461 For Sale

A collaboration between Morgan Yachts, Moorings and the designer Henry Scheel, the Morgan 461 was designated as such around the time the boats went from a Ketch design to a sloop. Only 35 boats were designated with the 461 label.

This Morgan 461 has the added benefit of being a Cutter Rig. The sail inventory includes the Mainsail, Jib, and Staysail.

If you're looking for a wonderfully sailing bluewater cruiser, look no further than the Morgan 461. The deck is uncluttered with wide side decks for ease of movement, and the huge center cockpit is large enough to accommodate quite a few passengers comfortably. This also helps the boat feel safe when heeled, due to the high coaming and wide seats.

The Helm is perfect for this boat, as the wheel allows for room to move in the cockpit, it's fully enclosed for foul weather and the boat is rigged to be easily single-handed, or double-handed if your first mate is aboard.

With 7 berths aboard, you have the capacity to comfortably sleep 8 + passengers. In regards to the heads, there is no holding tank aboard this vessel. The forward head goes straight overboard and the aft head has a composting toilet. A nice sized bath tub is also part of the main shower.

The U-shaped galley has a great amount of counter space, gimballed Stove / Oven and a newer double sink with upgraded faucet. Simple snacks or gourmet meals are no problem.

A 62 hp Perkins takes care of motorized propulsion, so you'll be assured the boat has plenty of power to take care of business when the winds are light.

The Morgan 461 makes a great liveaboard, bluewater boat or fantastic weekender for those trips to the island.

Tender included.
