MORRIS 38

Not all design projects start with a blank sheet of paper. In this case, the starting point was a highly successful 36 footer, the MORRIS 36, of which Tom Morris had built some 32 beautifully individualized yachts before his clients suggested a "stretched" version. The 38 is a lengthened version which would offer additional sailing length for higher speed in open ocean conditions, increased lazarette stowage, and a more "modern" look.


Once the design got going, it became obvious that there were other areas in which the additional length could pay dividends. What started as an alteration merely to the hull, led to a new deck mold with 18 inches of additional cabin area beneath full headroom. This in turn engendered a new interior design which took advantage of a significant increase in usable cabin space.
