Manufacturer Provided Description
Short-tack the beach. Set and douse the chute singlehanded. Shoot the mooring smartly. Suddenly, sailing has never been more fun, or more carefree. Designed to be easy to rig, sail and maintain, the M29 is the perfect daysailer for after work when the wind picks up or for enjoying a sunset with family and friends. Streamlined accommodations below decks, together with a clean deck and generous cockpit above, have been refined for supreme comfort and the work at hand. Control systems have been designed for the lowest loads possible so that sailors of all skill levels can enjoy her agile and responsive performance. Her quality construction and finish, together with her Sparkman & Stephens design pedigree, guarantee lasting safety, service and value.
The M29 offers the versatility of a perfectly proportioned daysailer, the excitement of a snappy racing boat and the timeless style found in all Morris Yachts.
One of many hallmarks and joys of buying a boat from Morris Yachts is that your boat is built just for you with your input on how she is finished. But unlike dealers or other builders where the base price often excludes necessary items like carbon fiber mast, sails, bottom paint, exterior/interior varnish and even name and hail on the transom, Morris Yachts offers all of these items in the base price in a “turnkey” standard package.
