1971 Morgan 30 | the rose

I have owned this boat for 29 years. I have sailed from Staten Island, to as far as Banger Main, and we have done multiple trips to Block Is, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Rode Isl. Sometimes we will live on board for 5 weeks at a time. In the summer months we lived onboard on weekends. Through all our travels, we have always felt safe and comfortable. She has 310 watts of solar and a wind generator. She has all the comforts of home. This boat sails beautifully, and with the swing keel down she points very close to the wind. The Raymarine Autohelm steering ram is mounted to the rudder post below deck and on long tacks. I rase the tiller which gives me more room in the cockpit. In 2018 I sandblasted the bottom paint down to fiberglass and applied 8 coats of barrier coat. Since then, I always used ablative paint. The next year I re-gel coated the hull. She has 4 bronze port lights that open. And also has a outboard motor hoist, mast steps, and a dingy davits. The galley has Corian counter tops. The head has a 16 gl. holding tank & macerator pump. She is equipped with 110-volt shore power And a 50ft. power cord.
