Morris M52: A Mini Review

Morris M52: A Mini Review
Morris M52 368

A hundred years ago, almost every yacht, of any size, was a daysailer. The idea of spending a night at sea appealed to few. Plus ca change . . . and Morris Yachts is tuned very nicely into that philosophy, extending its line of elegant daysailers ever upward toward a ceiling of as yet undetermined altitude.

The M52 is not a daysailer in the purest sense, because it is built substantially enough to cross oceans and has much of the needed equipment and accommodations but . . . something has to go in the space below. Still, daysailing doesn't necessarily require returning to the departure point, so it makes perfect sense to take along the wherewithal to rustle up a hot supper and a chilled drink and to spend a comfortable night in a snug anchorage.

In the M52, Morris puts all this together with its customary finest style, so that a visitor from a century ago would feel quite at home, and pleased to discover that the 21st century has not eschewed the niceties of the 20th.
