If you've spent some time browsing through our web site, you've probably gathered that the Morris philosophy isn't intended to break new ground as much as to establish the high ground. Morris yachts have always exemplified the ideals that define the world's best cruising yachts. In one sense the Morris 42 does it better than most, because it begins to provide many of the amenities and comforts of the truly large yacht, yet with smaller boat handling characteristics.
The Morris 42’s ingenious use of space gives her the feel of a much larger yacht. She offers a luxurious two-stateroom layout with a spacious galley U-shaped galley. A head with separate shower stall is another welcome luxury on a yacht of this size.
On deck, like most Morris models, the 42 looks a lot like a classic yacht. There are real bulwarks to secure your footing, and sturdy hand holds on the cabin top. The cabin sides exhibit good-sized opening ports throughout, but no huge windows.
The 42 cockpit is laid out for cruising, with very comfortable seating and a roomy cockpit locker. Visibility forward is exceptional. You can gain a good view past the bow without the need for a raised helm seat. And the broad expanse of smooth cabin top provides sure footing for doing a harbor furl of the mainsail.
While the Morris 42 provides plenty of comfort for cruising, she - as with all Morris Yachts - has shown enough speed to support a racing career. The amidships location of her engine and batteries, U-shaped galley, and navigation and electrical stations in virtually the same plane athwartships minimizes pitching which is vital to true racing performance. (Cruisers won't mind reaching Bermuda a half day earlier either!)
