Remarks The Morgan 31, designed by renowned South African naval architect Angelo Lavranos, is a traditional heavy-displacement cruising yacht. Featuring a long keel, substantial ballast and a sea-kindly hull design, she offers dependable offshore capability and comfortable sailing, making her well suited to coastal cruising and extended passage-making. She remains a popular choice among cruising sailors today. The seller has invested considerably in preparing the vessel for solo cruising. However, a change in circumstances and a work based inland move mean he is no longer able to pursue these plans. Having reluctantly decided to sell, he is realistic in his expectations and keen to find her a new owner soon rather than have her remain unused on her mooring. This presents an opportunity for someone looking for a capable cruising yacht with considerable preparation already undertaken.
