This 1982 Morgan 462 is a fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Henry Scheel, built in the USA, and built for extended offshore cruising. The boat measures 46 feet in length with a 13.5-foot beam and carries a Volvo Penta diesel engine of 78 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 6 knots and maximum speed of 8.4 knots. She is rigged as a ketch, offering balanced sail handling suited to short-handed operation.
The interior layout comprises three cabins and two heads, arranged for comfortable liveaboard living. The center cockpit design provides excellent visibility and control, while a large private aft cabin with ensuite offers separation from guest quarters—a hallmark of this design's approach to cruising family accommodation.
Recent upgrades between 2022 and 2025 have substantially modernized the yacht's systems. The autopilot and hydraulic steering were replaced, new solar panels were installed alongside an 800-amp-hour lithium battery bank, and the electrical system now includes a Victron Multiplus 3000 inverter, solar controllers, and a Balmar alternator. Navigation and safety electronics have been updated with a new chartplotter, radar, and AIS. Custom canvas, an enclosure, and new cushions complete the refresh. The sails were serviced and the rigging inspected and tuned. The Volvo engine runs at approximately 1,569 hours.
