General Description
'Morvoren' This one off fast sailing yacht was designed and built by well know yacht designer Alan Pape for his own use and so it was extremely well built.
Built in 1980 to the then 3/4 ton I.O.R. Rule 'Morvoren' competed successfully in many regattas along the Devon and Cornwall coasts in the 80s and 90s.
Even though she has raced successfully, she has plenty accommodation for comfortable cruising - one double and five single berths.
'Morvoren' has been out of use for the past ten years but has been revamped and fitted with an almost new 20 H.P Beta Marine Diesel engine. She was sailing in 2017 and was then hauled out for the winter.

Broker's Comments
"Morvoren" is a classic yacht, built primarily for racing but would also make a comfortable cruising yacht. She does have back-stay runners but she also has sweptback spreaders which might mean that she could be sailed without the runners in lighter airs. The boat was laid up for about 10 years. The present owner bought her about three years ago. He has spent a lot of time refurbishing her and there is still a bit to be done. Her lines are eye catching and as we say in the trade, "She has loads of potential"
Mechanical :Engine was fitted a few years ago and has been run for only 20 hours.
