Title: New small boat
Post by: Auspicious on January 28, 2009, 11:36:53 AM
Probably not cheap, but a new-out-of-the-box small boat from the fine folks at Morris Yachts.

Fits in the day sailor vision of Morris, but she is a very pretty girl.

Foredeck storage is something I've completely overlooked when considering other 29foot sailboats.  Nice.  I just wish I could work with a cup of cofee in my hand.  Maybe things would be a little more relaxed around here!

So do you think they'll continue the daysailor craze down to a 12 foot model?  Just keep miniaturizing the same design.  Hey!  Here's a wacko idea...a 29 foot cruiser.

LMAO!!! ;D Good one!

Looking at the line drawings, it shows some forethought that they mounted that extremely high-aspect, daggerboard-looking rudder onto a protective skeg. That's a lobster pot catcher if I've ever seen one...

Nice little boat there.  It is  step in the right direction, but what is that ugly little thing on the fore deck.

MrB.  IF that is your idea of a little boat, may I suggest this boat that was recently up for sale:

Now thats pretty nice but wouldn't the tall stick on that little green thing on the first boat get in the way of those white things on top of this boat.

Oh! Yes the Morris M-29 is a beautiful boat,  now if I could figure how to get on the bail out list hmm, just maybe.
