Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding

This week we welcomed 40 guests from?Upstream Alliance?and their incredible supporters, funders, and volunteers to see our latest progress on Firefly - the 49’ aluminum solar-powered floating classroom that will bring transformative, on-water STEM education to Camden, NJ and Philadelphia students. ?????? Built for Learning: Firefly is designed to safely accommodate an entire class, providing hands on experiences like water quality testing, specimen collection, and even overnight expeditions. Cutting-Edge & Sustainable: With solar-electric power, zero fuel costs, and innovative features like a lifting platform for full accessibility, Firefly will set the standard for green maritime technology. Lifelong Impact: Every Camden, NJ student experiences Firefly at least 3 times before graduating high school - a proven approach to fostering environmental stewardship. Firefly will help Camden reconnect to its waterway, the Delaware River. This project wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of their amazing team and community!! #boatbuilding #sustainability #enviroment #eduction

Introducing the first of its kind - “Firefly” is the first lithium-ion, fully-electric, USCG subchapter-T boat. Supplemental solar panels help charge the 49’ aluminum catamaran. This groundbreaking project was commissioned by Upstream Alliance for use on the Delaware River, where they provide on-the-water experiences for conservation leaders who can improve public access, clean water, and coastal resilience. Launching in 2025. We will be sharing more about this exciting project and the story behind the organization making it happen. https://lnkd.in/gMbCjgJ4

Great article in Soundings Magazine about the rich maritime history of Camden and how we're continuing the legacy with the Camden Classics Cup. It's been such an honor watching this event grow since its inception in 2016; building it to become part of the new history of the area is such a treat. https://lnkd.in/g6CUaUZV

Building a boat is an art form, but flipping it over is one, too. Shout out to the Thomaston team for making the hull flip of our new Hood 42 LM look easy. The first views inside the cold-molded Douglas fir and western red cedar hull are so stunning. This vessel (part of our continued collaboration with CW Hood Yachts) is going to be an absolute showstopper. Her timeless elegance melds beautifully with modern performance and advanced technology package. She'll be fast thanks to her Volvo Penta of the Americas D6 engines with integrated trim tab system.

Pleased to be working with Revel Yachts to bring their new 44S to life.

It's official -- Lyman-Morse has begun construction on the new third model in our motoryacht series with C.W. Hood Yachts. We have a rich history of building boats with Chris Hood -- together we’ve created the popular Hood 35 LM and the inspiring Hood 57 LM -- yachts that are as well-designed, well-built, and well-loved as any afloat. And now, we’re proud to announce the Hood 42 LM, a new flybridge cruiser from Lyman-Morse and C.W. Hood Yachts. The Hood 42 LM brings to life a timeless elegance, evoking a golden age of yachting on the outside, but under the waterline she sports a modern hull shape optimized for comfort and performance, and she’s constructed with the latest in materials and boatbuilding techniques. The Hood 42 LM features a lower cabin with large owner’s stateroom, enclosed shower and head, and plenty of storage. The main deck features a single-level open living and entertaining space that combines the lower helm, galley, and salon. The space is open, airy, and full of natural light and ventilation thanks to plenty of thoughtfully placed power windows, with the galley to port and a large settee and table to starboard. Her flybridge gives the helmsperson a commanding view, with 360-degree sightlines, perfect for close quarters maneuvering or just taking in the scenery. Power for the Hood 42 LM comes from twin Volvo DPS drives that will provide her with a comfortable cruise in the mid 30-knot range. Hull No. 001 is currently under construction at our yard in Thomaston. This is going to be a project to watch! https://lnkd.in/gAsbaDA4
