2007 Morris M42 Boat in Southwest Harbor, ME 04679 US

DREAM GIRL is a beautiful example of the M42 and has benefited from continuous updates and upgrades over the past several years. The Morris M-42 has all the sailing attributes of the M-36 but with standing headroom and more extensive cruising capabilities. DREAM GIRL is in excellent condition and is currently in the water fully commissioned and is stored with Hinckley in Southwest Harbor, Maine over the winter getting ready for her next owner.

She has gorgeous teak decks, Leisurefurl, and a bow thruster and recent upgrades include hull paint, interior cushions, sails, standing and running rigging, electronics, saildrive, air conditioning, Starlink and more. Equally suited for simple single handed daysailing or coastal cruising, Dream Girl is very nicely equipped and updated.
