Morris 40 Ocean Series

[traveller141]

I have just purchased a Morris 40 Ocean Series and it would be nice to hear from other Morris yacht owners out there, especially any other Morris 40 owners.

I have been unable to find any information or images online with regard to the underbody configuration of the Morris 40, a significant drawback as I'm writing a book on seaworthy sailboats, and the M40 is one of the boats on my list. Could I please ask you to provide me with a brief description, and if possible a line drawing or photograph, of the keel and the rudder? I'm thinking it probably has a fin keel and skeg-hung rudder, but I've seen a reference to a bulb keel, so I want to be sure I have it right. My email address is davidlaing@aol.com. Thanks.
