Lyman-Morse Lm 55 - Seguin Series - Custom Build you Dream

250,000 Offshore Miles in Every Detail

From the drawing boards of Chuck Paine and Ed Joy, Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding is proud to introduce the Lyman-Morse 55, the culmination of all the insight Cabot and Heidi Lyman have gained from circumnavigating the globe with their children, as well as building over 100 boats and maintaining many more. Adding the experience of the designers, there are more than 250,000 ocean miles in the wake of the team behind this remarkable new yacht.

 The Lyman-Morse 55 is designed and built to go to sea – and looks the part. An accomplished sailor will recognize that every detail has been conceived and executed with the needs of those who venture offshore. Moderate in displacement, the hull shape provides a fine entry at the bow, a midship section for maximum stability, and a stern that makes for an exhilarating turn of speed in a strong following breeze. Logbook entries showing 200-mile days will not be uncommon.

Whether on a short day passage or venturing to a remote destination, the crew of the Lyman-Morse 55 will be secure in the knowledge that their boat will take care of them during the most inclement weather, while also moving with alacrity when the breeze is light and on the nose. Built of rugged resin-infused fiberglass to the high standards for which this American yard is known, this is a yacht that will still be structurally sound after a decade of offshore sailing. CE Category A requirements are exceeded without the use of exotic materials that both unnecessarily add to the boat’s cost and are also extremely difficult to repair in remote places where the Lyman-Morse 55 will go.

The mechanical and electrical systems are simple, efficient and, most importantly, reliable. A cruising destination should be selected for its appeal, not because the latest DHL package containing repair parts awaits there. Complexity and quality are not the same.

The bright and open interior is laid out for both safety offshore and livability in port. Materials are selected for high quality and durability. The joinerwork is skillfully assembled by Lyman-Morse’s experienced craftsmen. The attractive finishes are easily maintained, leaving more time for cruising and exploring and making for fuss-free transitions from port to passage. 

With the many years of developing, building, maintaining and sailing offshore yachts that are in each Lyman-Morse 55, we think you will agree that she is a truly unique achievement in safety, performance, comfort and value.

Complicated systems can lead to uncertainty and uncertainty can lead to doubt. Doubt leads to unease and fatigue which is dangerous offshore. ?e possible benefits provided by a particular system must outweigh the extra expense and likely maintenance headaches.
• Dinghy storage has been planned from the beginning. A tender is an essential piece of cruising equipment, much like a car in the garage at your house.
• The anchoring system is carefully thought out with a horizontal windlass and two anchor rollers for quick deployment of a second anchor. ?ere is a two foot drop from the windlass to the chain locker for
trouble-free anchoring.
• The forward sail locker has a 30 inch hatch to easily handle sail bags.
• There is a “sugar scoop” stern platform for re-boarding in an emergency, swimming, and cleaning fish.
• The engine is located under the galley counter in the middle of the boat where the weight belongs.  Service access is excellent without having to remove the companionway ladder or crawl under the cockpit.
• Natural ventilation while offshore and in port is provided by several Dorade ventilators.
• Antennas for electronics are located aft on a stainless steel arch. Incorporated into the arch is a pivoting davit for bringing aboard the outboard motor. Two 240 watt solar panels provide enough power to run the refrigeration system – and welcome shade for the helmsman.
• The chart plotter and sailing instruments are mounted on the cabin house under the dodger for all to see and operate and where the screen glare is away from the helmsman’s eyes at night.
• The aft lazarette is spacious enough to contain the fenders, dock lines, life preservers, and life raft, as well the outboard for the tender.
• There are eight oversized mooring cleats for drogue and dock lines.
• Waist high safety rails are on each side of the mast.
• With tankage for over 300 gallons of fresh water, there is no need for an expensive
and finicky watermaker. 185 gallons of diesel fuel provide a range under power of
750 miles at eight knots.
