The Morgan Giles 30 is a GRP version of a classic Morgan Giles long keel design: a very sea-kindly yacht with appealing lines. MG30 owners all say this is a yacht that will look after you in a blow. Yet she is easy to handle and sails well. I have sailed her single -handed.
Santana has benefited from great TLC and constant upgrades by myself and the previous owners. Exceptionally, she benefits from Monitor wind-vane self-steering. Santana is stored ashore for the 2010/11 winter, but otherwise in full sailing order. She is based in Poole Harbour, but we may be away cruising, so you need to contact us for viewing to find where we are. Am willing to support buyer in re-commissioning her.
Vetus/Mitsubishi M3.10 3 cylinder , 20hp, fresh-water cooled diesel engine. Drives 3 blade fixed propeller via neutal/fore/astern gear box.
Propeller fitted with a Rope Stripper from Ambassador Marine. This all-stainless steel device is designed to cut through obstructions before the engine is disabled.
On hauling out at the end of the 2009 season, it was apparent that Santana must have fouled a wire rope of some kind during the season. Clearly, the Rope Stripper had dealt with it without me even being aware of it! I shudder to think what might have been, given our passage around the Lizard to and from the Scilly Isles.

White cockpit awning that fastens down to provide extra living space during inclement weather.
Coppercoat anti-fouling below the waterline. Virtually non-eroding and so lasts many years, as well as being less environmentally damaging than erodible antifouling treatments. Santana was treated with Coppercoat just before I purchased her in 2001, since when I have never needed to anti-foul her. I admit to feeling rather smug each spring, when neighbours in the yard are going through that unpleasant and messy task.
A further advantage of Coppercoat is that the epoxy coating provides an additional layer of protection against water penetrating the GRP, and hence against osmosis. . Contact the seller of this Morgan Giles MG30 for more details.

I am an MG30 enthusiast, set up the MG30 register and run the class web site and eGroup. However, I am retiring, planning live-aboard cruising, and need a larger boat. It is with considerable sadness that I have to sell Santana. I have had enormous enjoyment with her and will miss the admiration and appreciation she gets everywhere she goes.
Sale price: £13,950 plus £2,000 to include the self steering if required
