30' Morris Annie Class Sloop (1980) - ARTEMIS

Morris Annie, Hull # 2, Designed by Chuck Paine, and Built by Morris Yachts in 1980. Paine claims this is his favorite design, I suspect that he says that about all of his boats. I choose to believe him about the Annie. She sails like a dream and is lovely to look at. The simply laid out cabin sleeps 4 and is ample and comfortable. Artemis is right sized and will take you out and back in comfort and style. Sixteen Annies were built. Most were finished by Morris Yachts. I found her, somewhat forlorn, in a New Jersey yard. She was trucked to Rockland, Maine straight to the shed of Guy Polyblank of Englishman Marine. Polyblank worked his magic turning her back into the fine little yacht that she is today. The pictures are not the best but they provide a fair representation of Paine’s design.
