This wonderful Morris Frances was purchased by Tom Morris (Morris Yachts founder) in 2001 and was given a complete overhaul by Tom before he singlehanded her down the East Coast over the course of the winter. The current owner has enjoyed Tom's improvements to the boat and has added some of his own. The Frances 26 in general, and Wildwood specifically, has held an important place in the history of the Company and Tom Morris. Don't miss this opportunity to join the Morris family.
