Lyman Morse

LENDEMAIN has a traditional "Down East" cruiser configuration built to ABS and ABYC standards. However, the artful lines drawn by Chuck Paine and the legendary Maine craftsmanship of Lyman Morse combine to make this rare yacht anything but typical.

Starting forward, the owner's stateroom offers a large vee berth with four storage lockers and drawers under. The joinery is solid African mahogany with book marked drawer faces, finished in a semi-gloss with a high-gloss trim. The effect is that of fine high quality furniture. The ceiling is planked mahogany and the overhead is white with mahogany beams. There is a high quality SS overhead hatch with retractable screen/shade and two SS opening ports with screens.

Moving aft to the main salon, you pass through the unique "Aquarium" etched glass murals that were commissioned by the owner's wife from a well-known marine artist. The panels are backlit creating an exciting display in both cabins. This beautiful piece of art has to be seen to be appreciated.

The main salon has an L-shaped settee upholstered in light green Ultra Suede to port with lockers and bookshelf outboard and storage under. There is a folding table that stores in the head compartment. The table is high gloss burled maple with inlaid mahogany compass rose and mahogany trim.

The galley, to starboard, is equipped with high quality appliances and a beautiful solid granite countertop. There is a SS opening port and a large SS opening hatch with retractable screen/shade above for excellent ventilation. There are also two SS dorade vents in the cabin overhead.

Aft to starboard is the head compartment with shower and custom glass bowl sink with etched dolphins. There is a granite countertop and a "Headhunter" Royal Flush electric head and waste system. Four storage lockers provide ample storage.

Aft to port is the electrical panel with cedar hanging locker under, generator controls, water tank gauge, air conditioning controls and stereo system.

Moving up four steps to the cockpit, the helm station is to starboard. There are two Stidd multi adjustable seats upholstered in light tan calf skin P&S for the helmsman and the pilot. There is a large L-shaped settee aft to port and a teak storage locker to starboard with a small ice chest for drinks. There is a custom teak folding table for the settee that is stored under the settee in a custom, padded bag. The classic "Bass" style windshield is trimmed in high-gloss varnished teak as is the hard top. There are 3 overhead opening SS hatches providing excellent ventilation. The hard top and the folding side and aft curtains provide excellent weather protection. The cockpit and aft deck are finished with ¾" teak decks. Between the helm seats is the engine room hatch. The engine room is well lit and all the major systems are easily accessible.

The large aft deck offers a classic, forward facing, teak transom seat and a large aft facing bench seat with inflatable dingy storage under. A folding teak table for the aft deck is stored under the aft facing bench seat. There is a custom built outboard motor storage drawer in the transom under the teak seat. Just forward of the transom door is a hot and cold shower. There are two deck hatches with storage for fenders and shore power cables. The storage boxes are removable allowing excellent access to the Northern Lights generator and Hamilton Jet Drives. The transom door leads to a large swim platform with retractable cleats for dingy boarding.
