Morris 51
7 / 33 - score 59%
The Morris 51 is a 51.0ft masthead sloop designed by Chuck Paine & Associates and built in fiberglass by Morris Yachts since 2003.
11 units have been built.
The Morris 51 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
