GRACE is a beautiful example of the M29 and was customized by her owner (who has had two previous Morris yachts) to daysail and race in San Francisco Bay. Her running rigging and deck hardware have been upgraded for performance, simplicity and heavy wind conditions. Simple for one person to sail, beautiful to look at and in like-new condition, GRACE is the newest M29 on the market.

Cockpit
The M29 with tiller steering is designed to be crewed by a single person so sail handling has been engineered for simplicity, reliability and ease of use. All control lines, sheets, and halyards have been led either below deck or along the cabin top within easy reach of the helmsman keeping the side decks clear and safe. GRACE has been further upgraded with self –tailing winches on the cabin top and upgraded running rigging, rope clutches and the addition of a traveler system for increased sail shape control.
