12 January 2012

Our good friend, Paul Kenninck, recently came all the way from his home in The Netherlands, Europe, to view his new M42 under construction here in our boat-building facilities in Maine.

During his visit here, Paul met the entire production crew building his boat and saw his 'baby' (his M42), for the first time since she came out of the mold! Paul spent much of his stay with his dedicated Morris Yachts Project Manager, Nick Fawle, to finalize the precise customizations on his boat.
