The arduous restoration of our 1976 S-J Morgan 45-1, hull 37, beginning with long-distance purchase Tuesday, November 17, 2008. My wife Reem and I are the third owners from new. The original owners were Steve and Linda Dunn. Steve fit out the interior over a roughly 10 year period using superb materials and workmanship. The boat was not commissioned until the late 1980s.
My family and I have been able to spend a total of 8 weeks living aboard at Seapath Yacht Club in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We went for our first sail in August 2011. Based on our (admittedly) limited experience with the boat I can still say that all of us aboard were impressed with her stability, comfort, ease of handling, and speed.
One last thing: none of us in the family can count how many times a complete stranger has come up to us to say what a beautiful boat she is!
