The Morris 40 is a combination of strength, safety, and excellent offshore voyaging characteristics. She is a comfortable live-aboard and incorporates ease of shorthanded sailing. In 1995 the Morris 40 was awarded the Cruising World Overall Boat of the Year. SHEARWATER has proven to be an excellent offshore racer, most recently finishing first in her class and second in her division in the Newport to Bermuda race. SHEARWATER is the ultimate cruising yacht whether offshore or coastal cruising, all in a manageable sized vessel with an intelligent functional layout. She has been maintained and stored by Morris yachts since built and is located in a heated storage building for the winter and can be seen anytime.Additional Specs, Equipment and Information: Boat Name ShearwaterSpecs Builder: Morris Yachts Designer: C.
