Morgan 462 Ketch

Hello Everyone!! I recently purchased a 1882 Morgan 462 with the masts off and stored at a local Marina. In the process of getting the masts back up at the moment but some of the rigging is missing... One thing that I cannot find any info on is the triatic stay, runs from the top of the mizzen to the top of the main. Anyone have any info on this? Size length etc?? Any input would be great!

Re: Morgan 462 Ketch

Hmmm... that's an 19th century boat? Didn't know Morgan existed then...

Guess the typo is she is 1982... Catalina might have some of the specs as they acquired Morgan Yachts sometime in the late 80's, but more likely you'll have to measure things yourself after actually stepping up the masts with temporary running stays, as any data you could potentially find may not be the correct one for your particular boat.

Anyway, a great boat and a great investment in a solid built vessel that probably need some investment and many upgrades.

Best of luck!

Re: Morgan 462 Ketch

Sorry don't have any experience with a Morgan 462, but on rare occasions folks employ a sail called a "mule" on ketches and the dimensions for that for your boat may help you there. I see that Hyde sails may have info on it for your boat, but I can't access it on my computer right now.
here's one I can get:
Sailmakers - Dabbler Sails - Sail Lofts - Sails for small boats - Sail Makers

Welcome aboard by the way!

Re: Morgan 462 Ketch

Not sure if this is an active thread but you should know there is a very active and welcoming site for Morgan 461/462 owners on Facebook. Skip Gunslach moderates it. Everyone helps everyone else and if there is any question no matter how simple or complex, it will be answered quickly and with respect.
Look for as “Morgan 46 sailboats”

I sailed a 462 ketch for three years and logged over 2400 miles on her in the Caribbean. They’re wonderful sturdy boats that can take weather extremely well and make a lovely cruising platform.
