Morris M42 for sale in Newport, Rhode Island United States of America

The S & S designed, Morris 42 was a runaway success when introduced. The 42’s easily outsailed the other elegant daysailors by Friendship and Hinckley and the deck, halyard and sheeting arrangements were remarkable in their efficiency with all control lines, sheets and halyards leading to the cockpit and within easy reach of the helmsperson, leaving the deck clear.  

BOADICEA’s open-plan interior is in classic Herreshoff style with Antique White bulkhead and gloss-varnished cherry joinery and white painted sheathing overhead. Cabin sides are satin varnished cherry. In addition to opening hatches and Dorade vents, BOADICEA is fully air conditioned. Headroom is 6’-2”. Morris Yachts has refined the entertaining mission of the M42 to “six guests for sailing and a picnic, four for dinner below and two for overnighting.”
