New Morning nearing completion
One of the great things about being a yacht designer is the vicarious pleasure you get from watching other folks’ dreams become reality. It’s always a big day when the first coat of paint goes on. Here’s NEW MORNING the day after her deck was sprayed. We think she is the ultimate expression of the fast offshore cruiser. Her owners have spared no effort to make her the best mid fifty- foot shorthanded cruiser ever developed. I visited the boatyard this morning and a swarm of workers were putting the pre-finished interior components into place. We hope that she will be launched by late May for her owners to spend the summer trying her out in Maine waters before setting off to see the world.
