Lyman-Morse just announced that it’s building a new cold-molded Hood 42 flybridge cruiser, representing the third joint venture between Lyman-Morse, in Thomaston, Maine, and C.W. Hood Yachts, in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
The two companies have already created the Hood 35 LM and the Hood 57 LM, all carrying a timeless Downeast profile, lines and pedigree. The design is inspired by classic Wasque cruisers.
Lyman-Morse says that while the new Hood 42 LM “may evoke a golden age of yachting on the outside, 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 new Hood 42 LM is powered by twin 440-hp Volvo diesels, producing a cruising speed of 30 knots and a top speed of 39 knots.
The hull is cold molded using composite from Douglas fir and western red cedar. The lower cabin has the owner’s stateroom with a private head and shower. The main deck is designed as a single living and entertaining space, with a lower helm station, a galley to port, and a settee and table in the salon. Large windows provide lots of natural light and ventilation. The upper helm on the flybridge has 360-degree sightlines for easy navigation and cruising.
The boat is currently under construction. Stay tuned; we’ll have more when we learn more.
Specs.: LOA: 42’; Beam: 13’; Draft: 3’4”; Disp.: 21,000 lbs.; Fuel: NA; Water: NA; Power: 2×440-hp Volvo D6 diesels.
