Life on the coast of Maine can be challenging - rough seas, rugged shoreline, extreme weather. Our vessels are built to withstand everything mother nature can throw at us. When the USGS came to us looking for a survey vessel for their Woods Hole operations, our fabrication division was up to the task, and delivered a vessel built to handle the agency’s important and challenging work. This 26’ aluminum vessel was launched this summer as part of our growing fleet of workboats. Powered by Twin Yamaha 200HP outboards and includes a generator to power the A/C unit and several computers. https://www.lymanmorsefabrication.com/project/lmf-26-pilothouse/ #boatbuilding #aluminumboats #maine

Watch Bill Henson’s JPK 45 SIRENE flying downwind with their UK Sailmakers asymmetrical spinnaker in the 2024 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race! Making an incredible debut, SIRENE was crowned IRC Corinthian Division Champion, took 2nd place in IRC Division 2, and finished 15th overall in IRC out of 104 starters—only 74 of which crossed the finish line. Representing Fremantle Sailing Club and equipped with an expertly crafted sail inventory from UK Sailmakers Fremantle, SIRENE showcased the perfect balance of versatility and performance that defines this racer-cruiser. The sails were designed and built by UK Sailmakers, with upwind sails developed by Pat Considine (UK Sailmakers Chicago) and asymmetrical spinnakers by Geoff Bishop (UK Sailmakers Fremantle). SIRENE’s inventory included: • X-Drive mainsail with three reefs • X-Drive J2 race jib, reefable to J3 • Heavy-weather J4 staysail on a furler • Code Zero, A2, A3, A4, and a reaching jib top • Storm jib for safety compliance The sail wardrobe was meticulously planned, combining local expertise with UK Sailmakers' cutting-edge Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI) modeling—an advanced analytical tool that simulates the interaction between sails and surrounding airflow to optimize performance. The initial sail plan was developed in collaboration with Geoff Bishop of UK Sailmakers and a local rigger, with support from FSI modeling by UK Sailmakers' lead designer, Pat Considine. This resulted in a highly effective combination of a jib with a reef and a furling staysail, minimizing jib sail changes while providing a versatile downwind staysail.

Mega Yacht vs Sailboat! What would you pick (if you could afford any)? I saw this huge mega yacht in Grenada last year and then again in St. Lucia a little while ago! Impressive to see the 230ft (!) yacht close up! I also met some of the 20 crew - nice people, they seem to have a good time on this “boat” (more like a floating palace haha). As much as I think this one’s fun, I personally love my sailboat and being able to operate it and explore the world by myself/with people I love instead of having so many crew that’s necessary to operate the mega yacht! ⛵️🌍 What would you pick?

I can make you one of these if you like. I have some live-edge slabs still available. Shoot me a message. I milled these hardwood slabs back on the farm before I left. They are Mountain Ash. I finished them here in the marina and they work great on a sailboat or rv...or anywhere that you need a small table that pivots out of the way.
