2015 Morris M42x

Southwest Harbor, Maine

$695,000

Suzanne is a stunning example of a modified M42x.   The M42 built on the success of her little sister, the M36, retaining the classic beauty, simplicity in sail handling and heirloom quality craftsmanship.  SUZANNE adds enhanced performance with a taller, high modulus carbon fiber mast, a deeper, S&S designed performance keel and rudder and North 3Di racing sails.  Additional improvements to her rigging includes carbon EC6 standing rigging and a dedicated carbon racing boom (in addition to the carbon Leisurefurl boom). Set up to be easy to single hand with family and friends and fast and fun in a regatta, she offers the best of the standard M42 with some of the performance of the x-series.

While competitive on the race course, SUZANNE is also designed to be comfortably and easily daysailed and cruised with family or friends.  A 105% cruising jib and the furling boom make sailing single handed simple and enjoyable and her original self tacking jib could be reinstalled for even more simplicity.  Her unique design makes her equally capable of coastal cruising, daysailing (solo or with family and friends) and being competitive racing.  Set up to be sailing and put away in minutes, she makes getting out on the water easy and fun.
