M29: The newest Morris
Morris Yachts have had great success with their Sparkman & Stephens designed M-Series line, so it's only logical that they continue to come up with M-Series daysailers that bring a simple/classic sailing ethos to sizes big and small. Early next year the biggest--the M52-- hits the water, as well as the smallest--M29. Much has been said about the "big daysailer genre", so its refreshing to see Morris go smaller, and closer to what most of us think of as a daysailer. The M29 benefits from all the company has learned from previous models (M36, M42, and M52) as well as provides useful features like--actual owner trailerability (with a big SUV) and a built-in spinnaker launcher that makes it possible to launch and retrieve a spinnaker single handed. It has tiller steering and will fit in a container if you are into shipping your boats in containers. This looks like a fun boat, and I'll be sure to run a video of the test. I hope to get on one next winter.

What's its PHRF? Any Race results obtainable?
