Thomaston, Maine, February, 24 2022 — Lyman-Morse — The new Hood 35 by Lyman-Morse series follows the recent successful collaboration between Lyman-Morse and C.W. Hood Design on the Hood 57 LM. Similar to the 57, this stunning pocket-yacht defines a niche all its own, encompassing advanced construction technology, world-renowned craftsmanship, and superior performance.

Hull No. 1 is designed as a hardtop express and is scheduled to launch early this summer. As part of the series approach, C.W. Hood has incorporated a flybridge version for Hull No. 2 with construction currently underway for a 2023 scheduled completion. Additional in- formation on the Flybridge model will be announced as construction progresses. A soft-top model is also offered for yachtsmen looking for more of a dayboat option.

The Hood 35 LM follows the builder’s strategy of employing tech- nology, construction methods, and design techniques to create a semi-custom platform to deliver reduced build time and production efficiencies compared to a one-off offering. Yet, demonstrated by the high customization of the first two hulls, Lyman-Morse will incorpo- rate its world-renowned customization and solution-based approach to deliver exactly what each owner wishes.

Construction

Defining the soul of the Hood 35 LM is its cold-molded construc- tion employing advanced boatbuilding techniques. The builder is employing similar construction techniques to those used to build the highly acclaimed Anna, a 65-foot Stephens Waring Yacht Design sailing yacht. For instance, the hull’s structural stringers and frames are generated first in CAD and then cut to deliver a precision fit. The inner layers are Douglas fir and outside veneers employ western red cedar. The end result is an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and a supremely comfortable, quiet ride.

Lyman-Morse’s continued investment in manufacturing technology and infrastructure is revealed in the use of CNC for cutting of parts and the implementation of Solidworks software for interior mod- eling to eliminate the stick-build process still employed by many semi-custom and custom yards. These efficiencies not only result in a superior fit and finish but allow Lyman-Morse to offer the Hood 35 LM as a semi-custom offering.
