Through the use of `rib-core` engineering, tapered lamination, and exceptional craftsmanship in the accommodations and outfitting, the overall weight of the Morris Yachts 34 remains in the moderate category. With her solid hull and true fin keel, the center of gravity of the 34 is very low. Combine this with a balanced rig and modern sailcloth, and you have a cruising boat that, despite all its luxurious appointments, flies upwind and down. The cockpit is set up for either tiller or wheel steering, and interiors can be customized as always.
