The MJM 50z is the next evolutionary step in the MJM Yachts model line, joining the company's already successful and speedy lineup of 29-, 34-, 36-, and 40-foot Downeast cruisers. And the 50z is made using the same high-tech composite techniques, which allows it to boast an ISO Category A Ocean rating, yet still be lightweight.
