Can you tell us how you like your 51 Morgan now since it's been a tear from your post...can you give details of how they sail and perform.

Hi, I am considering buying a 1979 Morgan 51 with a broken mizzen mast. Do you still have the factory documentation, including blueprints, rigging diagrams and owners manuals for your boat? I would like to obtain the dimensions and rigging diagram of the mizzen mast so I can plan for the cost of repair or replacement prior to making the offer on it. Thank you for any information that you may provide. Long Pham/Cell: 949-500-9887/Email: Long1Pham@aol.com
