28' Morris Yachts Linda

This 28 Morris Rising Star has been very well cared for and was recently hauled, bottom inspected and bottom painted as seen in listing photos. Most of her time was spent lightly used in Maine and stored in the winter before making her way south. The sailing characteristics are continually praised by their owners. A full keel with cutaway forefoot gives both a stable ride and great maneuverability. 2022 and 2023 boat yard invoices with over 30k worth of work completed are proof that this boat has been regularly attended to, maintained and upgrades considered! All systems, sails and mechanical are in proper working order. She is ready to leave the dock and go sailing!

Many of these boats have been listed at much higher prices in the past years and more than 6 boats have sold between $65,000 and $82,000 per Soldboats.com data from the Marine MLS system. Rising Stars low price is not a reflection of her condition or quality, but desire for her to quickly fall in to loving hands that will continue proper care.
