GRP Hull

Marine plywood deck replaced in 2017. This was epoxied on both sides and glassed over on deck. The coachroof and deck are watertight and there is some ongoing work being done at the forward end of the cockpit.

The fin keel (lead) was re-bedded recently and a number of the keel bolts were replaced at the same time.

Spade rudder.

'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 1990 to the then 3/4 ton I.O.R. Rule 'Morvoren' competed successfully in many regattas along the Devon and Cornwall coasts in the 1990s. 
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 now 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.

"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"
