Classic 1970s 40ft Sailing Sloop – Project Yacht with Timeless Appeal. Just arrived at Morgan Marine – a 1970s 40ft Sailing Sloop with elegant traditional lines, offering the perfect foundation for a rewarding restoration. Whether you're dreaming of a capable long-distance cruiser or a charming liveaboard, this vessel presents a fantastic opportunity. Stored ashore for the majority of her life, the hull was professionally gel-shielded prior to her launch in 2015, providing added protection and peace of mind. Recently upgraded with a brand-new Nanni N438 inboard engine, fitted by Morgan Marine in 2024. This is a rare chance to own a classic yacht with character and potential – ideal for enthusiasts looking to bring a beautiful sloop back to life. A true passion project!

NB - being sold as a 'project' - it will require a level of refurbishment. Sold strictly as seen and sub-standard with faults unspecified.

Our Customers Say:

Today we took delivery of our brand new Jeanneau Merry fisher 1295 Fly Motor Yacht. The team at Morgan Marine are exceptional at delivering customer service, advice, engineering, you name it - they have got it nailed. We asked for some modifications to the specification which they gladly helped with, upgraded access ladder to fly, synthetic teak to decks and upgraded nav package to name a few. The ladder was designed and fabricated onsite (amazing job) and the whole package was ready on time as promised. Thanks so much guys.

Thought I’d send you a note to say how pleased I am with the MF 1095 and all the systems that you’ve put in. The boat has done 20 hours and the engines will be serviced shortly. There have been no issues arising and all systems function properly.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time helping me with this. It is refreshing to work with you and your organisation and receive great customer service along with outstanding attention to detail. Normally I just get stock answers because I am asking technical questions which would involve doing some work.

Just to thank you all for a very efficient and professional service. Thank you for delivering our boat to the Norfolk Broads and sorting out our bow thruster.

I love an “anything can be done” attitude! Wish you & your team were closer to Poole

Thank you for all your help and fantastic service

Thanks for all your help and the very nice work to the bow of the boat.

Thank you for the very efficient and professional service provided on the 16/3/2021 which included collection from mooring, hoist out power wash, lowering both masts and hoist on to a transporter. All done with the minimum of fuss by a very cheerful staff.

Many thanks to Morgan Marine for doing the right thing for the environment and wildlife. If only everyone would do the same.
