1979 Morgan 45 Ketch

This 1979 Morgan 45 ketch is a fiberglass sailing yacht built with a classic design and wide 13.5-foot beam. The hull shape and layout reflect Morgan's traditional approach to offshore cruising, with a ketch rig offering good balance and sail-handling options across a range of conditions.

The interior includes a spacious master suite aft with an ensuite head featuring a fresh-water Jabsco toilet and full bath facilities, plus a split-bunk guest stateroom forward with its own head equipped with a manual raw-water toilet. The main salon and galley areas are open and well-lit, supported by a dedicated navigation station. An engine compartment with good access houses a Perkins 4.154 diesel engine rated at 62 hp, paired with a NextGen 5.5 kVA generator.

The yacht carries a full sail wardrobe including roller-furling Dacron genoa, full-batten Dacron main, Dacron mizzen, and two spare jibs, with Lewmar winches in various configurations for sail handling. Ground tackle includes a Simpson Lawrence SeaTrek 555 manual windlass, 45-pound CQR anchor on 55 feet of chain and 150 feet of nylon, plus a spare West Marine fluke anchor. A stainless steel tender davit is mounted on the aft deck.

Recent work includes a complete bottom job down to gelcoat with two coats of barrier paint and two coats of bottom paint, plus new propeller shaft intermediate bearing assembly and coupling. The Dometic air-conditioning and heating unit in the salon is reported in like-new condition, and the Kuuma hot water heater and topside deck paint are newer. The Perkins engine shows 651 hours and the generator 83 hours. Electronics include a Raymarine ST60 depth indicator and Sea Ranger VHF radio.
