41 Foot Ketch Sailing Yacht - 1981 Morgan 416

NOTE: This yacht is a USA imported yacht and was imported after 1992. It was VAT exempted but there is no paperwork to support this and the RCD paperwork is not complete, but the yacht as a HIN number on the transom as she is a production boat. You are bidding knowing that she is an old 1981 vessel and that paperwork needs to be sorted out for her if she leaves UK waters. The starting price of £19950 is representative of this issue. Original manufacturer’s documentation and books are present showing year of manufacturer; she is registered on the UK Small Ships Register.

Ocean going, blue water ketch rigged 41 foot sailing yacht currently in Preston Marina, North UK Survey from when I bought here is visible here (you don't need a google account to view these images): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12kQdSV-n-pfOj9NB1iOd17NiXiOwVyS0? Usp=sharing Huge rear cabin double with on-suite toilet and sink. Forepeak cabin has double lower bed plus single bunk above. Fore toilet includes sink and shower. Saloon seats 8, 12/230v flat screen tv with mast top aerial Kitchen area has double sink, hot and cold water throughout (internal tanks about 300 litres, heated from engine or 230v hot pot) Companionway walk through links to rear cabin.

Large engine room with 4xbatteries, battery charger and webasto 5500W blown air diesel heater. All sails / winches etc. In full working order. This is a very large, beamy and roomy sailing yacht. Currently in the water so engine can be seen working.

Good points: Fantastic overall condition for ageEncapsulated keelBoth fuel tanks professionally cleaned (by techtank) 2017Engine professionally serviced including new throttle cables 2017 (ALWAYS Starts first time)Gear box removed and refitted by manufacturer 2017 including new clutch platesNew fresh water pump and shower sump pumpWebasto 5500 heater serviced and all new parts fitted 2018 (£1000)All sails in good condition, foresail was fully refurbished in 2015New starter battery 2018, new 3x domestic batteries 2015New electric windlass and anchor chain (over £1500) 2013 Things to do / known issues:Electronics on helm station work but GPS signal not working nor wind direction indicator. When GPS drops out an alarm sounds loudly. I'd recommend considering fitting more modern chart plotter etc. Fridge is 230v - for long passages 12v fridge or invertor is needed.No oven fittedLifted out last month to check hull, nothing untoward or new however ever since I bought it 5 years ago there has been a scrape 15cm long along the bottom of the keel which has removed the GRP covering. I don't believe this warrants a repair however I believe one would be under £1000 if you chose to do it.

I have the survey that I had done when I bought her 5 years ago (for £35,500) and there was nothing to note on it; there were a couple of recommendations (e.g. Ensure batteries are fixed down, fit a windlass) that I had done when I bought her. You can see the survey on google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12kQdSV-n-pfOj9NB1iOd17NiXiOwVyS0? Usp=sharing NOTE Selling due to living away from the yacht and not using her. Viewing available by arrangement please, I will be there on the Saturday 11am - 3pm on the day the auction ends.

The price is an absolute BARGAIN and I have included all information to assist you in your decision; come and view her and I guarantee you will buy her.
