Brilliant is a wonderful example of a Morris 28 Linda sloop. She is a Chuck Paine design that can accommodate four people in comfort. She was built to high standards by Morris Yachts in Maine and comes highly recommended.
Brilliant’s dark blue hull, teak rub rails and classic lines are sure to impress the discerning eye of an experienced sailor. This model was built with a modified full keel design for improved performance while still retaining excellent sea-keeping qualities. For her size, the interior feels surprisingly spacious with a good working galley, multi-tasking settees/berths with a bulkhead-mounted, fold-down teak dining table, quarter berth, enclosed head and private forward V-berth.
The boat has been well-maintained and is ready to sail. Call the LISTING BROKER to schedule an appointment to see her today!

Accommodations
Brilliant has a light, open interior finished off with varnished teak trim accenting white bulkheads and overhead. The overhead handrails and cabin sole are made of solid, varnished teak. A large, opening hatch combined with opening portlights and two dorade vents provide abundant natural light and ventilation and a reverse cycle air conditioner cools or heats the interior when plugged in to shore power while at dock.
Entry is through the cockpit companionway down to the aft main cabin. There is a quarter berth to port of the companionway and the galley is to starboard. Continuing forward, there are two, full-length settees in the main salon which double as additional berths. The private V-berth cabin forward is separated from the main salon by an enclosed head to port and a hanging wet locker opposite to starboard.
