COMMENTS: MORNING STAR was purchased by her present owner in 2001. He is the second owner. They have cruised her extensively from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to the the Bahamas three times and the Dominican Republic. She has lived up to her reputation as a superb bluewater cruiser. She is set up as a cutter, but her owner mostly sails her as a sloop. In 2012/2013, a new 54 hp Yanmar diesel was installed, and only has 490 hours, and a Tides Marine mainsail ball-bearing track was installed in 2014 for ease of handling the mainsail. The owner purchased a new Dodger this year. A solar panel allows a refrigerator-freezer to run all the time. We recommend MORNING STAR for anyone looking to sail offshore.
