1969 Morgan Classic

Nice example of a classic early fiberglass boat. Beautiful black hull with a gracefull form that makes her look like the great sailer that she is. The important systems have been updated and are in good working order. Complete engine rebuild in 2003. The keel centerboard makes this boat perfect for the Chesapeake gunkholing or heading offshore to New England. The sail inventory is ready for the next season without any need for improvement. Portable Air Conditioning make the boat very nice for those muggy nights in the marina.Large comfortable cockpit for entertaining.
