A Rare, Proven Offshore Passagemaker Ready to Sail Today.
Chrie is a rare and highly regarded Morgan Ocean 31, designed by Angelo Lavranos and built in Durban, South Africa by Morgan Mosenthal Marine. Only approximately 25 hulls were ever produced, each built with solid fiberglass construction, exceptional laminate thickness, a full keel with cutaway forefoot, and fully encapsulated lead ballast. Among offshore sailors, the Morgan Ocean 31 has earned a reputation as forgiving, capable, and built for real bluewater passages.
This is only the vessel's second ownership. The first owners a family of three sailed Chrie over 50,000 miles, from South Africa to New Zealand, with stops in the Amazon River, the Caribbean, and both coasts of the US, transiting the Panama Canal three times. The current owners lived aboard full-time for a year and sailed her 4,500 miles, up and down the US East Coast, through the Bahamas, and on to Guatemala via the Windward Passage and Jamaica. This is a boat that has been tested and has proven herself many times over.
Chrie is currently docked and maintained at a marina in Rio Dulce, Guatemala. She underwent an extensive, ground-up refit between September 2024 and June 2025 and is in excellent condition throughout. She comes with a full complement of tools, essential cruising references, and extras she is truly turn-key and ready for her next owner to cast off.
