A walk-through passage connects the aft cabin to the salon, with a workshop and excellent engine room access along the way.
The salon offers a large U-shaped settee, while the adjacent nav station provides ample space for electronics and charts. The galley is designed for serious cruising with Corian counters, Force 10 stove and oven, and extensive refrigeration. Forward, a private V-berth cabin with ensuite head completes the layout. Numerous Lewmar hatches offer ventilation and all of the opening portlights are heavy duty stainless ports by Newfound Metals.

Additional comforts include Marine Air A/C, Lavac electric head, and Paul E. Luke fireplace.

Owners Comments and Boat History
Tradition is a restored Morgan 462. She was laid up at the Morgan facility in Florida in 1979 as hull number 23 out of 114. Little is known about Tradition's early years except that she carried the name Vision II and was registered with the USCG as of 2002. By 2010 she was a German flagged vessel undergoing extensive refit in Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago. Between 2011 and 2015 the interior was totally redone with new cabin soles and woodwork throughout. In addition, the engine was rebuilt, the toe rail glassed over, the solar arch added, and a custom hardtop and dodger were constructed. Many more updates and improvements were made with the purpose of preparing Tradition for long-term, off grid cruising. Unfortunately for the owner, plans changed, and Tradition never sailed. She was placed on the market in 2016 and purchased by her current owners.
After purchase, Tradition spent two seasons sailing in the Windward Islands. The owners then sailed her to Puerto Rico and kept her in a slip at Puerto del Rey Marina while exploring the Spanish Virgin Islands. Eventually, Tradition was relocated to Nanny Cay Marina in the BVI. While there, the owners had a bow thruster installed, replaced the hardtop, and regularly made repairs and upgrades. During the covid pandemic, Tradition was moved to St. Thomas where she currently occupies a slip during the boating season. In hurricane season she is found on the hard at Nanny Cay and receives continued professional maintenance and repair. In 2023 all the cockpit cushions and the full cockpit enclosure were replaced. Additionally, in 2024 the owner purchased and installed new Raymarine chart plotter, autopilot, and wind transducer.
The owners have found Tradition comfortable at sea, at anchor, and at the dock. Aside from normal and ordinary maintenance, the systems aboard have operated well. There is a very active online owners' community for the Morgan 46,461, and 462. Although production stopped in the 1980s, these boats are routinely seen at marinas and anchorages all over the Caribbean. Tradition is for sale only because the owners are looking for more space for visiting family.
