Used Morgan 461/462 Sailboats for Sale

The Morgan 461 and 462 represent a sophisticated departure from the high-volume, charter-centric "Out Island" series that defined much of Morgan Yachts' output in the 1970s. Designed by the esteemed naval architect Henry Scheel, these models were engineered for the serious offshore cruising market, prioritizing blue-water capability, structural integrity, and traditional aesthetics. While the Out Island series was often criticized for its "shoebox" hull shape and lackluster windward performance, the 461/462 utilized a more refined hull form with a finer entry and a graceful sheer line. Produced between 1977 and the early 1980s, the 461 was the initial iteration, followed by the 462, which served as a "Series II" update with minor refinements to the deck mold and interior appointments. Both models share the same heavy-displacement hull, standing as a testament to the era when Morgan Yachts sought to compete with premium builders like Hylas or Gulfstar.
