The Morris 28 Linda stands as a testament to the early collaboration between Tom Morris and naval architect Chuck Paine, representing a refined evolution of the "pocket cruiser" philosophy. Introduced in the early 1980s, the Linda was developed to provide a more spacious and sophisticated alternative to the doubleended Frances 26. While the Frances gained fame for its rugged simplicity, the Linda introduced a graceful transom stern—adding both aesthetic elegance and functional cockpit space—while maintaining the legendary build quality of the Bass Harbor, Maine, shipyard. It is a vessel designed for the purist who values the tactile pleasure of a perfectly balanced helm and the visual appeal of traditional lines. According to the Chuck Paine Design Office, the Linda was specifically intended to offer a "largerboat feel" within a trailerable or easily handled 28foot footprint, utilizing a full keel with a cutaway forefoot to blend stability with maneuverability.
