...........................
'Ora' is a Catalina Morgan 45, built in 1991 in Key Largo, Florida. She is 45'3" (13.8 m) long, weighs 19.19 metric tonnes (gross), and draws 6'7" (2.0 m). She carries 725 litres of fresh water, and 275 litres of diesel fuel for the 50 HP 4-cylinder Yanmar engine. She is designed and equipped for world travels and independent life on board.
She is a sleek, heavily built, sea worthy and comfortable cruiser, with exceptional appointments. The sails are in excellent condition, the engine runs reliably, and she is easy to handle solo or as a couple.
Originally purchased by a Norwegian couple, she spent many years in the Caribbean before sailing up to Northern Europe, and later the Mediterranean, where she was sold and sailed solo from Spain to Fiji. Her current owners, a NZ couple, purchased her in Fiji in 2019 and have since lived aboard when not working as international delivery skippers. Throughout their time with Ora they continued to upgrade and refurbish her in preparation for their own world voyage, although a recent change of circumstances brought about the decision to sell and buy another yacht in the US or Europe.
The Catalina Morgan 45 design concept:
"The hull was designed with fine forward sections, full aft sections, and sports a cruising full keel and a semi-balanced rudder."
"The large centre cockpit was designed with a unique dual seating arrangement which provides excellent visibility in an atmosphere of comfort and safety."
"The deck layout includes inboard chainplates for close-hauled sheeting and conveniently located main and genoa winches."
"Below decks is a spacious interior of varnished teak and ash wood with two large private staterooms for comfortable living."
Ora is aptly named! She has that happy, energetic vibe about her. Just looking at this lovely yacht in her berth at Musket Cove, one can immediately tell she means business and is eager to go out to play! Cruise-ready, extensively upgraded and fully equipped to keep travelling, she would make a fantastic cruising home for someone wanting an affordable, fully appointed and comfortable cruising yacht available now.
This yacht is perfect for solo or short-handed passages, for a family or a group of friends and for anyone new to the cruising life or an experience sailor alike. She is responsive, sea-kindly, easy to handle, easy to understand, easy to maintain and will be the joy of her lucky new owners.
Call or email us today for more info. Be quick! At this price and equipped at that level this wonderful yacht will not last on the market. The last one we had sold in two weeks and at her first inspection.
------------
INTERIOR:
The interior of 'Ora’ is surprisingly spacious, with 27 inward opening portholes, providing good ventilation and light. There are also 6 opening skylights to allow breeze and fresh air to circulate. The extensive woodwork has stood up well for its 28 years and has had a refresh over the past 18 months. The cushion upholstery has been replaced in 2021. most cabinets and locker doors arelouvered and allow for maximum air movement.
SALON:
The main saloon is very spacious and comfortable. The teak and ash interior woodwork gives an attractive and warm feel. There is an "L" shaped dinette to starboard and a straight settee to port. Both settees provide good passage berths. There are cabinetsoutboard of both settees and shelving, providing a good amount of storage.
GALLEY:
The galley is very functional on passage and at anchor. The Seaward 3 burner gimballed stove and wrap around counter design allows you to work in safety no matter the sea-state. the wood cabinets have louvered doors. The extra deep double sink has hot and cold pressure water faucets, with a filter for the coldside. There are two 41l refrigeration units that can be either fridge or freezers these were installed in 2020 There is a propane gas detector and a smoke alarm for your safety and security.
NAVIGATION STATION:
Opposite the galley to port of the companion way stairs is the chart table with instruments, controls, and switches within easy reach. It provides a good place for navigation and communication. The top opening table provides storage for charts and instruments.
HEADS:
There are two heads on Ora. The head provided for the V-berth forward cabin has a manual toilet and a sink whose tap doubles as a shower wand. There is plentyof storage and ventilation with port visors installed so opening windows can stay open in all weather. The aft ensuite head has an electric toilet (with a macerating holding tank option), and a sink basin. A unique feature is a small bath tub/shower combination with glass doors, providing the ability to have a deep soak or wash clothing below deck during passages.
AFT CABIN: (MASTER STATEROOM)
One of the benefits of a centre cockpit design is a large and spacious aft cabin. There is a large double berth, bedside settees with reading lamps, and a vanity table with lighted mirror. Starboard there is a front loading washing machine with storage below, and on the port side is a hanging locker and drawers. The aft cabin has excellent airflow with two fans, 9 opening ports, and a large hatch, making the cabin cool and pleasant for sleeping in almost all conditions.
All upholstery has been replaced in 2021
FORWARD CABIN (GUEST STATEROOM):
The V-berth in the forward cabin is surprisingly large and comfortable for a couple to share. There is a good amount of drawer storage and open hanging racks for clothing. 2 opening ports, and 2 hatches provide great airflow to keep the berth cool. The forward head can be accessed directly from the forward cabin or from the main saloon.
ENGINE ROOM:
Between the saloon and the aft cabin is the large engine room. There is excellent access on3 sides of the engine, making it extremely easy to service. Oil filters, fuel filters, raw-water strainer, impellers, and sea cocks are all easily accessed. The engine room is protected by a halon automatic fire extinguisher. The entire cockpit floor can be unbolted if the engine ever needs to be removed. There is ample space for tool storage and to install a generator should you wish.
COCKPIT:
The centre cockpit provides excellent protection and comfort when sailing. 'Ora' has a strong, fixed glass windscreen and a wood and fibreglass dodger. A centre hatch can be opened for a cool breeze, and a wood fibreglass hard top bimini provides sun shade over the cockpit as well as excellent rain protection. There are clear sides to the cockpit that when closed keeps the cockpit dry in almost all weather. In addition there are sun shades that drop from the bimini that provide great shade. This all results in an extremely comfortable cockpit in any weather. In the centre of the cockpit is a folding teak table for dining and entertaining. Itcan be either fully open of half open with fiddles. The removable teak floor grates make keeping the cockpit clean much easier, and the large scuppers and washboards make it verysafe at sea. The helm and binnacle are well placed, and all important controls are close at hand. The electric winch makes deploying or furling the main sail or furling the headsails an easy task, even for thesolo sailor.
DECK:
The deck is well organized with minimal clutter. She has clean lines and plenty of space to move around with strong accessible handholds when required. Her decks are fibreglass with an anti-skid coating making for low maintenance and easy cleaning. All the deck hardware is oversized and well built for the challenges of offshore and ocean voyages. In addition to the basic equipment, a stainless steel targa and davits were added on the aft deck, providing an easy way to lift the tender and store paddle boards. The wind generator, radar dome, and additional solar panel are all located on top of the targa out of the way of all sheets and halyards. Two fibreglass deck boxes provide excellent storage for diving, snorkeling, kite surfing equipment along with the portable generator.
