Catalina Morgan

1995 Morgan In-Mast Mainsail Sloop 

Listed on 4/12/2024, the "Fish Migration", a 1995 45' Morgan, is ready for your cruising adventures! 

The "Fish Migration" can be inspected on land @ Safe Harbor Tower Marina - Douglas, MI. 

Here are "Fish Migration's" details and her Seller's comments:

Fish Migration is 45-foot Morgan sloop center-cockpit, built by Catalina in Florida in 1995. She was a 2 owner boat before the current owners acquired her in November of 2021. 

Over the past 4 years, considerable time and effort refitting this worthy vessel to get her ready to sail down island and eventually to cross an ocean (should you so desire). The just refurbished in-mast main, 135% genoa, and hull design by Nelson/Marek, as well as her Morgan pedigree combine to make this boat not only a joy to sail, but an extremely comfortable home at sea. 

Her clean lines definitely catch the eye, and you'll get many compliments on her look wherever you go. Stride down the open and navigable deck and you'll notice that her standing and running rigging were both completely replaced in 2021 (work done by Annapolis Rigging.) The in-mast furling mainsail is easy to trim with all lines running to the cockpit, and the 135% genoa is a workhorse and will smoothly carry you to wherever you care to go. The 4 year new custom dodger and Bimini were designed and installed in 2020. The stainless steel dinghy davits system, outboard hoist, and solid lifelines were created and installed by KATO Marine.  A brand new remote-controlled Maxwell windlass and capstan, oversized 65lb Mantus M1 anchor and 250ft of HT 5/8" chain rode to give you peace of mind were added in 2020.  The Renogy solar system and 2020 batteries keep the boat powered when at anchor, and new LED lights throughout the boat reduce the power draw. The engine and generator, with very low hours for a boat of its age, have both been serviced and various hoses, water pumps, macerators, and bilge pumps have been replaced. Bonus: you can even have AC at anchor!  Upon identification of a previous leak,nearly all opening and non-opening ports and all chain plates were removed and rebedded in spring of 2023.  Note: the engine and generator finish was damaged due to an unnoticed water leak in the cockpit drains in 2020, leading to water dripping on the running engine.  The leak was fixed immediately upon discovery of this issue - engine has run great since; the previous owner nor we have ever had a single issue with the operation of the engine.  It runs and sounds great.

Below you'll find a wide open, yet cozy salon and u-shaped galley. Cooking is a blast with the sprawling counter space, 3-burner stove and double sink. The forward guest v-berth is spacious and is also accessible to the forward guest (wet) head. The luxurious aft master cabin has a queen island bed, vanity area but the biggest plus is the ensuite head with separate shower and tub! The entire boat fills with light from more than 30 port lights and hatches, allowing great air flow.. Copious amounts of storage can be found throughout the boat. The center cockpit is "high and dry" and the aft sundeck is a great additional gathering area.
