boat, able to sail anywhere. The moderate size makes Morbic 12 an ideal boat for frequent single handling but she is able to take a crew of 3 and is fitted with 2 rowing thwarts.<\/li>\n<li>And also a simple motorboat, with its generous transom width. A cut-out in the transom allows fitting a short-shaft outboard motor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The small size of Morbic 12 allows such a multi-purpose use. Being light, she may be rowed easily, despite her generous breadth giving stability for sail and motor.
