extremely beautiful.”

WELCOME TO THE M42

The Morris Yachts M42 takes the excitement of

our smaller M-Series boats and applies it to a real

weekend cruiser. Designed in partnership with

Sparkman & Stephens, the M42 can be built with

our distinct standard or short trunk cabin deck

confi gurations (distinguishable by eight versus six

port lights). Both models retain the ease of handling

features and classic beauty Morris is known for

and, in fact, the M42 hit her mark so well that

Tom Morris built one for himself and spent a

year aboard cruising up and down the US Eastern

Seaboard. The M42 combines substantial interior

volume for luxurious accommodations below with a

large cockpit providing generous seating for family

and friends. Ideal for afternoon cruising, weekend

getaways and beyond, the M42 is a yacht that will

grace any harbor and provide pride of ownership for

many years to come.

Whether venturing out for an afternoon with friends or

a weekend (or longer!) cruise with your spouse, the M42

is all about sailing. Sail handling has been thoroughly

engineered for simplicity, reliability and ease of use.

The M42 features a self-tacking jib, sail handling

systems and helm control pods that are often copied,

but never perfected, by other builders. All control lines

have been led aft below decks to control/electric winch

pods located within easy reach of the helm, leaving the

deck clear and safe. Wind, depth and speed instruments

are mounted above the companionway in perfect line

of sight for the helmsman. These features and more

create a remarkably effi cient cockpit to complement

the M42’s stunning design, allowing for a satisfying

sailing experience for everyone aboard.

Fall in love again.The M42. The perfect weekend cruising companion.


Aboard the M42, everything looks and feels just right. Her deep and safe cockpit

seats are over six feet in length, comfortably seating friends and family during a sail

or lunch on anchor. A gloss-varnished teak drop leaf table with integrated cooler is

permanently fi xed to the cockpit sole; just fl ip up the fl awlessly designed leaves and

reach for a cold beverage when guests are ready for lunch or sunset cocktails.

Award-winning traditional styling is accentuated with gloss-varnished teak joinery

including eyebrow trim, Dorade boxes, toe rail, coaming cap, companionway hatch and

cabin top handrails. The house and cockpit can be optionally trimmed in varnished

teak cladding and teak weather decks added to further enhance her classic looks.

The M42’s luxurious cockpit is well designed for the task at hand. Hatches on three

cockpit seats allow access to below-decks storage and all lines are engineered to keep

the cockpit free and clear for maximum safety and guest enjoyment.

Take control surrounded byquality craftsmanship

& state-of-the-art materials.

“The high gloss of deep

and flawlessly varnished

teak lets you know when

you climb aboard that

you are going sailing on

a yacht, not just another

production boat.”

While the M42’s classic exterior evokes

boats from another age, her contemporary

underbody is designed with the latest

advancements in naval architecture. As

a Morris Yacht, the M42 offers peace of

mind that you are onboard one of the most

seaworthy boats in the world.

The level of engineering, fi t and fi nish sets

the benchmark by which other builders

measure themselves. Morris craftsmen and

engineers demand only the fi nest equipment

and materials and use the most modern

techniques and technology during the boat

building process. The beauty of a Morris is

not only skin deep but integrated throughout

all facets of the vessel.

A high-performance bulb keel of moderate

draft (5’9” standard, 5’0” shoal) together with

a high aspect ratio carbon fi ber spade rudder

are designed and built for speed, stability and

precise control.

Morris infused hulls and decks are unparalleled in any class...

with a 10 year warranty to match.

Should the breeze subside before you are ready

to retire, auxiliary propulsion is provided by a

Yanmar 39hp Saildrive diesel engine with a

two-blade folding Flex-O-Fold propeller. The

M42 maneuvers under power as responsively as

she does under sail, turns in her own length and

backs down straight as an arrow. A VHF radio,

GPS with color display, sailing instruments

with three separate displays for wind, depth and

speed readings are standard. All mechanical

installations, thru-hull fi ttings and fi lters are

straightforward and easily accessed for service.

Additionally, all wiring is clearly labeled. No

detail has been overlooked in the overall design

of the M42.

Under sail or under power, the M42 maneuvers exactly as you would expect her to:

Flawlessly.


“It’s all

about

sailing.”

- Tom Morris

“The finest example of American boatbuilding that exists.”

- Ed Sherman,American Boat & Yacht Council

M42 Short Trunk Cabin with optional cherry bulkheads & paneling


Three steps down from the cockpit lies a functional, airy

cabin with fantastic visibility. Here you will fi nd an open

interior plan that maximizes spaciousness. Exquisite Morris

craftsmanship and attention to detail provide a fi t and fi nish

that is unparalleled in the industry. All woods, fi nishes and

fabrics are able to be fully customized by the owner to suit

his or her personal tastes.

Cruising cuisine is a snap to prepare in the U-shaped

galley fi tted with a two-burner gimballed stove, Corian

countertops, polished stainless steel sink, ample refrigeration

and practical storage space. It is these details and luxurious

cruising amenities, for which Morris is known, that make

every day and night onboard a sheer pleasure.

17207.244.5509

When it’s time to turn off the lights, enjoy

lying in bed and stargazing through the

large overhead hatch in the spacious queen-

size berth. Full-length shelves on both sides

provide storage for night-time necessities,

and two 4” Dorade vents provide perfect

ventilation to ensure a comfortable night’s

sleep.

Enjoy a peaceful nap or delve into a good

book on the full-length settees within the

salon. Bookshelves and storage places are all

within easy reach and properly outfi tted for

secure passage-making. At the forward end

of the settees are twin end tables, each with

storage below and built-in shelves. Additional

storage lockers are located outboard at the

forward and aft ends of the settees, and there

are two large drop fronts to access space under

the queen berth. A hanging locker located

forward of the head provides a perfect place

to store outerwear.

Abundant natural lighting and ventilation is

provided by a butterfl y-style hatch above the

dining table as well as six or eight large fi xed

port lights (depending on the cabin model).

The smallest detailcan have the greatest impact.
