1985 Morgan 45-4 Nelson-Marek Masthead Sloop - Well-Equipped Cruiser
This 1985 Morgan 45-4 Nelson-Marek masthead sloop is a solid, performance-oriented cruiser with a proven pedigree for extended cruising or comfortable coastal sailing.
With a fiberglass hull, fin keel, and spade rudder, this boat delivers responsive handling and performance under sail.
The rig includes a keel-stepped aluminum mast and boom, a 150% roller furling genoa with UV cover, Dacron main with lazy jacks and stack pack, a rigid boom vang, and a roller-bearing traveler, all optimized for easy handling.
A full dodger with cover, cockpit bimini, cockpit table, and cockpit cushions make the deck space ideal for entertaining or relaxing under way or at anchor.
Below deck, she is powered by a Perkins 54 hp 4-cylinder diesel engine with closed cooling system, and features an automatic fire suppression system in the engine compartment for peace of mind.
Electronics include a Horizon depth meter, Horizon speed log, Horizon wind instruments (speed and direction), an ICom M-80 transceiver, Garmin 540S GPS-fishfinder-chartplotter, and a Robertson AP-100 autopilot, giving you confidence whether day sailing or offshore cruising.
The comfortable and spacious interior boasts a warm and inviting main salon with a U-shaped settee and table to starboard and a straight settee to port.
The well-equipped galley includes a double stainless steel sink, refrigerated icebox, microwave oven, and a 2-burner gimbaled range with oven, perfect for onboard meal prep.
The navigation station with chart table and electronics is ideal for passage planning and watchkeeping.
Accommodations include fore and aft private staterooms, each with ensuite heads, providing excellent comfort for owners and guests alike.
Additional creature comforts include a TV and stereo system, a swim ladder for easy water access, and a Magma BBQ for cooking on deck.
This Morgan 45-4 is a true sailor's boat - sturdy, spacious, and ready to cruise. Contact us today to arrange a viewing.
