Morris Yachts Unveils Their New M46 Sailing Yacht
Morris Yachts has been in the industry for nearly half a century demonstrating their craftsmanship through their M-Series and Ocean Series lines. According to Morris, the newest edition to the family, the M46 Modern Classic, is a departure from what we have typically seen in the M-Series and will feature never-before-seen innovations in a yacht of her size and range.
“The M46 is an excellent expression of our company’s ability to combine style, craftsmanship and performance in a way that nobody else in sailing can,” explained Morris Yachts CEO Doug Metchick. “The M46 is an extraordinary design which encompasses many innovations that will find their way into our M-Series line for years to come.”
The M46 features increased sailing performance, a larger cabin and other additional nontraditional elements, such as a fold-down transom (the area that makes up the stern) that showcases their versatility and ability to keep up with the constantly evolving demands of the modern-day sailing community.
Morris Yachts further increased the performance of this stellar new boat by working alongside legendary firm Sparkman & Stephens. According to Morris, this partnership resulted in a new hull design that allows for an advanced sailing experience in a range of different conditions, as well as another noteworthy achievement of a lower displacement-to-length ratio that provides increased acceleration.
Along with this, the M46 also boasts generous quarters for owners, an innovative control system and fresh new accessories, such as an inflatable stand-up paddle board with a custom storage locker and a unique deck arrangement with flush-mounted hatches that give the cabin natural light.
The final cherry on top of this unveiling for the people of Portland is that "the new M46 kicks off a five-year company plan to revitalize and increase marine jobs in Maine," which is an added bonus for the local industry.
