Minkie B is at the top of her class.   She is the highest level design from C. Raymond Hunt.  Top level build from the renowned Lyman-Morse yard.  Lyman-Morse and Hunt have a long, well known history of building best in class yachts over the last 40 years.  Minkie B is an exceptional example of this partnership. Her size, layout and performance have shown to weather the shifts in yachting needs.  

Fortunately, the owners of this vessel have recognized the value of this vessel and taken on the responsibility of maintaining and upgrading her to keep her as nice now as when she was built. In just the last few years the upgrades have been expansive allowing new stewards to carry her forward without work list.  She is cruise ready.

Just a few of those upgrades:

  • New bow thruster
  • New batteries
  • New Freedom lift
  • New refrigeration
  • Two custom teak bench
  • New teak in cockpit

Minkie B is easy to view this later summer and fall in Harpswell, Maine.
