Notes: Updated Morgan 45. A collaboration between Morgan Yachts and Moorings. Scheel designed the hull (see Scheel 45). The deck and interior were designed by Moorings.\nThe first 12 boats off the line were designated as MOORINGS 46. The next 35 were MORGAN 461. There are 114 MORGAN 462's (And finally one built was designated 463).\nThe 462 had 3,000 lbs less displacement (as well as some other design changes not related to the information above).\nThe ketch rig above was optional. Sloop rig was standard.\nDeep draft option: 6.0'/1.83m\nSimilar versions were called MORGAN 46, MORGAN CUSTOM 46, MORGAN 463 among others.\nAlso purchased and/or sold through THE MOORINGS charter company.\nSloop or ketch.\n(Images are from a brochure for the MORGAN 462)\nThanks to Skip Gundlach for clarifying a number issues with Morgan's of this generation and 'billmania' for other corrections.
