Morris 46 | 1997 Extensively Upgraded Offshore Cruiser with Timeless Elegance

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained Morris 46, a Chuck Paine-designed offshore cruiser renowned for its seakeeping ability, traditional craftsmanship, and timeless lines. Built in the USA to exacting semi-custom standards, this 1997 example has undergone significant upgrades — including a new Yanmar engine (2023), carbon mast, and updated navigation systems — all under a rigorous maintenance schedule. Ideal for bluewater or extended coastal cruising, she’s fully equipped and ready to sail.

Her strong GRP hull (Awlgrip-painted 2020), skeg-hung rudder, and lead fin keel provide excellent offshore performance and directional stability. A carbon GMT mast, upgraded rigging (2020–2025), and a versatile Challenge Fastnet sail wardrobe ensure responsive, manageable sailing. Deck equipment includes Lewmar winches, a Side-Power bow thruster, and a Lewmar electric windlass. Power systems are robust and ocean-ready, with a Northern Lights generator, Victron AGM batteries, solar panels, and both 110V and 220V onboard.

Below deck, the elegant Herreshoff-style cherry interior offers warmth and practicality. The forward cabin includes a generous V-berth and storage, while the saloon features U-shaped seating, a full-size nav station, and a seagoing galley with premium appliances. A single large heads with separate shower is aft for easy access. Offered exclusively by Williams & Smithells International, this upgraded Morris 46 is afloat and ready for her next adventure.
