1984 Morgan 462
The Morgan 462 is the newest and finest of the line of older Morgan 46s designed and built by Charlie Morgan. The first was the Morgan 46 built primarily for charter. It grew from the popularity of the well known Morgan 41 out Island. Then Morgan designed the Morgan 461, which was aimed more at the blue water cruising market. Finally came the Morgan 462. The 462s are well built having solid fiberglass hulls and balsa cored decks. The hull design is an excellent bluewater design, having heavy displacement, modified full keel design, and a protected skeg hung rudder. It is also a center-cockpit design permitting crew comfort, good all around visibility, and a large owner's stateroom and head aft. The boat is ketch rigged to enable it to carry maximum or minimum sail plans and sail areas and to be manageable by a short handed crew or couple.
Tankage in the 462 is very adequate, carrying 175 gallons of fuel and 195 gallons of fresh water. The boat has tons of storage space throughout, in various easily accessed lockers, cabinets, and drawers. At the bow is a robust dual anchor platform and windlass. At the transom is a teak swim platform and a swim ladder. She comes with many sails, a 150% genoa, large main with lazy jacks, and mizzen, drifter (in very good condition), spinnaker pole mounted on the mainmast, and a storm headsail (in very good condition). You will find this Morgan 462 to be an excellent liveaboard boat, whether you are cruising or dockside.
