The Morris M42 is widely considered the standardbearer of the "Modern Classic" movement, blending the grace of a 1930sera yacht with the underwater geometry and construction of a highperformance racing machine. Designed by the legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens, the M42 was conceived as a "weekender" that prioritizes effortless singlehanded sailing and aesthetic perfection over the highvolume interiors of contemporary production cruisers. Launched as a larger sibling to the groundbreaking M36, the M42 extends the hull length to provide greater stability and a more versatile living space while maintaining the iconic lowprofile cabin trunk and elegant overhangs that define the Morris Yachts MSeries. Each hull is constructed using vacuuminfused composite materials, often incorporating CoreCell foam and carbon fiber reinforcements to ensure a stiff, lightweight structure that belies its traditional appearance.
