A Legacy of Adventure Awaits Her Next Captain
There are boats… and then there are vessels with a real soul. Aurelia is one of those rare yachts — a magnificent 1989 Bruce Roberts 50 “Henry Morgan” Edition, purpose-built for bluewater adventure and gracious living.
The Henry Morgan Legacy named after the legendary privateer Sir Henry Morgan, this special edition was designed by renowned naval architect Bruce Roberts as a robust, ocean-conquering cruiser. The “Henry Morgan” variant stands out for its exceptional strength, generous volume, and seaworthiness — qualities that have made it a favourite among serious long-distance sailors. Built tough by GT Boatbuilders in Brisbane, Australia, Aurelia was created from the outset to tackle the Seven Seas with confidence.
A Rich and Storied History
Her story begins with her first owner, a visionary who commissioned her in Australia specifically to cross oceans. From there she embarked on a life of purpose, sailed by a missionary through the remote and idyllic islands of the South Pacific. Later, a Melbourne restaurateur took the helm, using her for elegant coastal cruising and memorable onboard gatherings that highlighted her perfect balance of seaworthiness and sophistication. For a full decade she then became home to a former navy man and his flight attendant wife, as they explored the wonders of Southeast Asia with freedom and joy. Most recently, her current owners have continued this proud tradition with extensive cruising throughout the region, cherishing and meticulously maintaining her every step of the way. Now this proven world cruiser is ready for her next custodian.
Built for the Horizon, Designed as a serious bluewater cutter, Aurelia features:
• Robust full keel for excellent stability and tracking
• Strong GRP hull with end-grain balsa core for strength and insulation
• Classic clipper bow and round bilge hull, timeless looks with real seaworthiness
