Overview
Morris Yachts and the legendary design firm Sparkman & Stephens have once again teamed up to produce a yacht of lasting beauty – a yacht that will grace any harbor and provide her owner with pride of ownership for many years. LOON is a very special version of the popular M-42 that is not only breathtakingly beautiful with just the right amount of wood on deck, but also the fastest M-42 on the water – thanks to a deeper performance keel and a 7’ taller rig than standard.One would be hard pressed to find a boat with a better combination of stunning good looks and fantastic sailing qualities. LOON is also extremely easy to operate short-handed, with her furling mainsail and all controls leading to the helm.
