The Moran, Starratt, and Jenks sailboat, also known as the MSJ sailboat, is a classic design that has become popular among sailing enthusiasts. The story of how this sailboat came to be begins with the three founders: John Moran, Robert Starratt, and Ray Jenks.

In the 1960s, John Moran, a naval architect, Robert Starratt, a boatbuilder, and Ray Jenks, a sailmaker, came together with a common passion for sailing and boat design. They decided to combine their expertise and skills to create a sailboat that would be both beautiful and seaworthy.

The MSJ sailboat was designed to be a versatile and efficient cruiser that could handle a variety of sailing conditions. The design incorporated elements of traditional sailboat design with modern innovations to create a boat that was both classic and practical.

The first MSJ sailboat was launched in the late 1960s and quickly gained a reputation for its excellent sailing performance and elegant design. Sailors were drawn to the boat's sleek lines, spacious cockpit, and comfortable interior layout.

Over the years, the MSJ sailboat has continued to be a popular choice among sailors looking for a well-built, reliable cruising sailboat.
