Broker's Comments

The Morgan Giles is a classic 1970s long keel yacht, and has a good reputation for its sea keeping qualities.

Her interior is constructed from quality materials and wood. Her exterior looks in good condition and there is ample room in the cockpit. All the equipment is there for enjoyable coastal cruising

This is a must-see if you're looking for a well built solid construction boat with character that will enjoy admiring glances where ever she goes.

These boat details are subject to contract.
