Description
The Morris 48.6, designed by Chuck Paine, is a serious offshore yacht built for sailors who demand both speed and comfort across all latitudes. With her long, lean, and lightweight hull, the 48.6 delivers impressive performance on all points of sail while maintaining the superb seaworthiness Morris Yachts are known for.
Christina features the sought-after raised pilothouse design, offering excellent visibility, expanded tankage, and a bright, open interior. The deck layout is optimized for short-handed sailing, with all mainsail control lines led aft and a traveler positioned just forward of the binnacle for easy handling.
Below decks, Christina is both stunning and functional, featuring a spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout. Highlights include a large nav station, a dedicated workroom, and a practical beam galley—perfect for extended offshore cruising. Varnished woodwork, abundant natural light, and thoughtful detailing elevate the onboard living experience.
