This well equipped Morgan, Rita, spent the first 32 years of its life as a man cave and day sailor on Chesapeake Bay. The current and second owner is a retired airline aircraft mechanic, an ABYC certified marine electrician and Captain. He has installed, updated and repaired many systems over the last 4 years.
Rita has been more than just a sailboat — she has been a trusted home and companion on unforgettable adventures, including two safe passages to the Bahamas. Her solid Morgan design gave us confidence offshore, while her spacious center cockpit layout made life aboard comfortable for extended cruising. The roomy salon, large cabins, and recent galley updates created a welcoming space that truly felt like home after long days under sail. Whether anchored in turquoise Bahamian waters or cruising the ICW, Rita provided the perfect balance of safety, comfort, and classic cruising charm that made every journey memorable.





A NEMA 2k databus was installed with mostly Garmin equipment all tied to the Backbone
- GPSMAP at the helm
- Auto pilot controller coupled to Garmin course computer
- Class A drive unit at the rudder post
- Airmar smart tri-ducer
- GPS at the chart table
- Fusion XM stereo
- Class B AIS VHF with cordless handset
- Separate Raymarine wind and depth are at the helm with wind fed to the databus as well.
It also has Starlink for uninterrupted internet access and new mast wiring, tri-color masthead combination light, deck light, steaming light, spreader lights, new wind transducer and VHF antenna. Standing and running rigging replaced and a new 110 Genoa (2024) on the Harken roller furler. The foredeck has an electric windless with a local battery supply, 55lb Rocna, 90ft chain and 150ft of rode. The hard bimini has 6 100W solar panels tied to 3 mppt controllers with Bluetooth. There are two battery banks with 400 AH of AGM batteries each and a 3kW marine sine wave inverter.
Engine oil has been changed regularly and a sample sent to Blackstone laboratories for analysis. Results show there are no anomalies. The engine runs well and burns no oil. The steering system has new Edson cables and the propeller, cutlass bearing and dripless packing are recent as well.
The port water tank has been replaced with a 55 gallon plastic tank feeding a water spigot through a .5 micron filter and UV sterilizer. The starboard water tank is 90 gallons and feeds the utility water system which has a dual source water heater.
The cabin has a hydronic heater heated by an Eberspacher diesel powered boiler which also heats the engine and utility water. The stove was replaced with a cooktop running on propane which is stored in an on deck propane locker. Installed above the cooktop is a three way microwave air fryer oven. Forward and aft toilets replaced 2022.
The bottom has 5 coats of barrier paint and 4 coats of Seahawk Cucoat which should be good for at least another year.
She returned to Virginia this spring after a 5 month cruise to George Town, Exuma in The Bahamas (her second trip!) and is ready to go again.
