Morris Ocean Series 34

HAZEL is a beautiful example of the Morris Ocean Series 34 and is #4 of 7 built. She has been kept in excellent condition throughout her life, having had just two owners and always kept in heated indoor storage during the off-season. The Morris 34 is the pedigree of design by Chuck Paine and construction by the Morris team, with proven off shore capabilities, elegant lines, functional layout and construction details, both seen and unseen, that put Morris Yachts at the head of the fleet.
