Morgan 45-4

Tinaca has been cruising in the western Caribbean for the last 5 years, spending almost all our time between Panama and Colombia. She is a joy, at the anchor or in a marina.

This is a Morgan Nelson/Marek 45-4 cruiser, fast and efficient to sail and comfortable as a live aboard; it consists of two large cabins and two heads, a wide dinette with settee double berth and settee single berth. She is able to accommodate up to 7+ people.

The galley has deep double sinks with hot and cold pressure water and a front load refrigerator in a 10-cubic foot icebox. There is a foot pump in galley sink, stove w/oven fueled by a 20lb LP tank housed in the aft locker. Two Marine Air System units provide air conditioning.

Everything on the vessel functions as it should. Bimini and spay hood are in good shape. All canvas and sails in excellent condition. The new main sail is fully battened, the second main is not battened, with lazy jacks and bag. The heavy genoa 130% is almost brand new, while the secondary genoa 130% is in good shape. Hauling and painting is scheduled for April 2023. There are new anodes on the shaft and on the Maxprop blade folding prop. Rigging includes a hydraulic backstay and spinnaker tackle, roller furled genoa. There is a Maxwell electric windlass with remote controls at helm station and a Delta anchor with 200 ft of 3/8” chain, plus a Bruce anchor with nylon rode. There are a swim ladder and two convenient stern platforms for diving. The dinghy is an older Walker Bay with 2-year-old Suzuki 15 hp two-stroke outboard. 

The engine is the original Universal Atomic Diesel 34hp; in the last years it has been constantly maintained: injectors and fuel pump have been calibrated, head gasket and fresh water pump have been replaced. Alternator and starter have been maintained last year.

Electronics include E 120 chart plotter, radar, ST 70 depth, speed, and wind instruments, Raymarine type 2s piston autopilot, Icom VHF, brand-new stereo and speakers. Basic systems are working but there are a few updates needed: the four AGM batteries, battery charging system, flat screen TV, life raft certification expired.
