New Morning is our home and our vehicle. We invested
about four years in her design, development and
construction, hoping to create the “perfect” yacht for a
cruising couple. Of course she’s not perfect, but we gave
it a shot! The menu items on the left show the finished
boat (courtesy of Billy Black), explain how we developed
the ideas for her design, provide some insight into her
systems and document her construction. Like New Morning,
these pages are still a work in progress and will be
updated regularly. Here is what you’ll find in this
section:
