New Model: Lyman-Morse Monhegan 42

Lyman-Morse recently launched the semi-custom Monhegan 42, the latest yacht from the long-standing and successful relationship between Lyman-Morse and C. Raymond Hunt Associates. Riding on Hunt’s time-tested deep-V hull design, the Monhegan 42 showcases Lyman-Morse’s proven method of creating series-built semi-custom cruisers and yachts. This allows owners to customize each boat to suit their needs within the existing design; and allows Lyman-Morse to provide many of the attributes of a custom yacht with far less lead time. The Monhegan 42’s power comes from twin Cummins 550-horsepower with traditional line shaft propulsion in tunnels for top speed up to 32 knots and a cruising of 28 knots.  As with every Lyman-Morse build, the Monhegan 42 combines traditional style with cutting-edge construction technology and modern amenities, such as Scrimp resin-infusion in the hull, which maximizes strength and reduces weight, Humphrey Interceptor trim tabs, and Side Power bow and stern thrusters.  The helm station of this third Lyman-Morse is custom to the owner’s specific needs, with oversized display screens. Accommodation below deck features a galley and dinette/lounge area for meal preperation and dining, a head with saparate shower staill, and primary stateroom forward. This owner wanted to be able to lie down on the settee and relax, so the team at Lyman incorporated a custom footwell into the layout to allow for optimal relaxation. Interior joinery is made from South American mahogany, with teak and wenge accents. The Monhegan 42 exemplifies Lyman-Morse’s unparalleled ability to produce bespoke, semi-custom boats that deliver unrivaled performance, safety, and convenience at sea.

Project: Lyman-Morse Monhegan 42

Lyman-Morse is building the new Monhegan 42. A continuation of a long-standing relationship between Lyman-Morse and C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the Monhegan 42 represents the Maine's builder continued success with creating a series of semi-custom yachts that allow an owner to customize a vessel to suit their needs using an existing design platform. This proven process delivers all the attributes of a custom yacht, with far less lead time.  Hull no. 3 of the Monhegan 42 series rides on Hunt’s renowned deep-V hull design and will get power from a pair of Cummins 550hp, giving her a cruising speed of 28 knots, with a top end of 32 knots. The helm station of hull no. 3 is custom to the owner’s specific needs, with oversized 17-inch display screens, as well as bow and stern thrusters for easy docking. Below, there is a galley and dinette/lounge area for meal prep and dining, a head, shower, and primary stateroom forward. This owner wanted to be able to lie down on the settee and relax, so the team at Lyman incorporated a custom footwell into the layout to allow for optimal relaxation. Interior joinery is made from South American mahogany, with teak and wenge accents. Additional options abound on this model, demonstrating a key attribute to the semi-custom series approach. There are four available configurations, including flybridge, extended cruiser, and open. The 42 employs the SCRIMP resin infusion method which maximizes strength, reduces weight, and delivers a precise lay-up.  While hull no. 3’s owner is a longtime boater, this is their first foray into a semi-custom build. When surveying the industry, they chose Lyman-Morse due to their unparalleled ability to produce bespoke, semi-custom boats that deliver unrivaled performance, safety, and convenience at sea.

Project: Lyman-Morse Hood 35 Flybridge

Following the successful launch of the hardtop express Hood 35 by Lyman-Morse, construction of the flybridge version is now underway at the company’s facility in Thomaston, Maine. The anticipated launch date is the spring of 2023.  The Hood 35 series delivers the best of a semi-custom platform, allowing for reduced build time and efficiencies. Yet customers can still enjoy Lyman-Morse’s world-renowned customization to ensure their 35 is built to suit their specific needs. This hybrid approach is a rare offering in yachts with a length overall of less than 40 feet.  The benefits of this approach are evident when comparing and contrasting the first two 35s. For example, hull No. 2 with the flybridge features an enclosed aft bulkhead and places the galley-up to allow for additional accommodations belowdecks. In contrast, hull No. 1 is open from the helm area to the cockpit with the galley below. Both choices include a spacious head with shower. The owners of hull No. 2 also selected a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer system, air conditioning, and a generator for extended cruising.  This flexibility extends to the available power options. C.W. Hood and Lyman-Morse offer three different engine options. Hull No. 1 is powered by twin Yanmar 440hp coupled to a pair of Hamilton Waterjet achieving speeds of more than forty knots. The new flybridge model will be equipped with twin Volvo Penta 440hp driving stern drives and providing an estimated top speed of 40-plus knots with an expected cruising speed around 30-plus knots. A twin outboard version is also available.  Another noteworthy element of the new flybridge model is its fluid, seamless profile, compared to other mid-size bridge models. The new flybridge design profile is purposeful as well as extremely functional with bench seating for two to three persons and a centerline upper helm station. The carbon-fiber flybridge and deck keep the center of gravity low and optimize the yacht’s strength while reducing weight overall.

New Model: Lyman-Morse Hood 35

Lyman-Morse celebrated the launch of Shadow, Hull 1 of the new Hood 35 series. The Hood 35 follows the recent successful collaboration between Lyman-Morse and C.W. Hood Design on the praised 57 model. Similar to the 57, this stunning cold-molded pocket-cruiser defines a niche all its own, encompassing advanced construction technology, world-renowned craftsmanship, and superior performance. Hull No. 1 Shadow is designed as a hardtop express and equipped with some of the most advanced marine technology available today. Shadow’s tech-savvy owner sought to outfit the vessel with the latest marine technology. She is one of the first dayboat-sized vessels to utilize Raymarine’s new Digital Switching System, YachtSense. The Raymarine vessel control system offers digital switching, which replaces traditional mechanical switches and circuit breakers with digitally controlled power distribution modules, significantly reducing the size and length of cabling required to distribute power throughout the boat. Hull No. 1 features twin 440hp Yanmar 6LY coupled to a pair of Hamilton Waterjet HJX29s. This is the first pleasure vessel in the USA to be equipped with these brand new jets. More efficient, more powerful, and with military grade controls, Shadow reaches speeds of forty plus knots. Shadow is also the first pleasure vessel to be equipped for autonomous running with the state-of-the-art Sea Machines system. Lyman-Morse is working closely with the owner and Sea Machines to have this boat confidently guiding herself and her passengers in the near future.

Project: Lyman-Morse Hood 35

The Hood 35 by Lyman-Morse hits the sweet spot of C.W. Hood Yacht’s powerboat acumen. Following the success and the raving reviews of the Hood 57 launched in the fall of 2020, Lyman-Morse presents the Hood 35 which follows the Down East lobster traditional cruiser genre in a smaller size and a perfect fit for day and weekend long cruises.  To be build in cold-moulding the Hoold 35 is beautifully shaped and engineered for a smooth ride. The Hood 35 LM is engineered and designed to handle all conditions, including when it’s less than ideal on the bay, with aplomb.  Twin Yanmar 440hp engines with Hamilton jet propulsion will propel the Hood 35 to a 38 knots top speed and acruise of thirty.  Currently under construction in Thomaston, Maine, Lyman-Morse Hood 35 hull one is scheduled for a launch this 2022 year, with a hull two which will feature a flybridge set to launch in 20213.
