Lyman Morse Boat Co. Seguin 44

Designed by Sparkman & Stephens, built by Lyman-Morse, SCRIMSHAW is one of the best classic boats on the market.  Built in 1983, SCRIMSHAW has only had two additional owners since her original commissioner.  Designed to be sailed offshore comfortably by a couple or a small family, SCRIMSHAW's interior is practical, pretty and purposeful with things like a work bench, an easily accessible diesel engine, cozy wall-mounted cabin stove, inordinately large battery bank, water maker, and a washer/dryer. Her current owners sailed her to New Zealand in 1999.  They continue to use her for week-end sailing, and are not planning any more long range trips.  However, delivery to the east coast may be possible.  With a few personalizations, SCRIMSHAW is ready to cruise the blue waters of the world again. 

SCRIMSHAW sleeps six. Her custom layout offers excellent use of space, with one head, roomy stowage and good ventilation with 6'4" headroom.

Forward is a chain locker which gives access to the chain.  There is a trough which moves the chain further aft, repositioning the weight away from the stem.  Then is a spacious double v-berth with voluminous stowage beneath. Aft of the berth port and starboard are dressers with drawers and lockers above. There are lights for each berth and a fan.

Next aft is the head to port with sink, shower, a manual toilet, and stowage lockers. A full-height locker with washer and dryer and more storage is across from the head to starboard.

Next aft is the main salon with settee berths port and starboard with large bookshelves above flanked by front lockers to starboard and a hanging locker and spinnaker storage to port. Most locker doors are fashioned with a grated insert providing ventilation and interesting visual detail.  To port, against the forward bulkhead, is a charming diesel fired cabin heater (needs servicing).  The bulkhead protective fireboard is covered with "Delft" tiles.  Outboard of the stove is a TV with a DVD player.  To starboard is a cabinet with countertop and storage above.  A drop leaf table is between the berths with drawers and a large stowage bin. Outboard of each berth and beneath the bookshelves and lockers are easily accessed stowage compartments.

The galley is next aft to port in one of the two passageways to the aft cabin and features stowage outboard and above, a reefer (which runs on 110v and engine driven cold plate system) with separate large freezer, both with custom built cold plates. Inboard and over the engine is additional counter space with drawers followed by two large, deep stainless steel sinks with pressure water as well as manual pumps for fresh and salt water. A handy refuse compartment slides out from underneath. Custom built racks to house china, mugs, spices and wine bottles are above the sinks.  Outboard is a 3-burner Dickinson gimballed propane stove with oven.  Fans face to the center of the boat.

The navigation station with chart table and seating is located in the starboard passageway.  With the seat facing aft, good communication with the cockpit is facilitated.

In the aft cabin there is a spacious double quarter berth to starboard with large storage compartments beneath.  To starboard of the centerline companionway ladder is a small settee with a hanging locker behind it.  Along the port side of the aft cabin is a workbench area with good countertop space and plenty of storage for tools and spare parts.  The finish below is "Herreshoff style", varnished trim with white vertical surfaces and white overhead and teak and holly sole. SCRIMSHAW is well ventilated with four hatches, five dorade ventilators and eight opening ports and is fitted with screens. The main cabin hatch is fitted with security bars, allowing for the hatch to remain open at night.
