Aft Deck

Stepping onto the teak swim platform you are met with two large varnish teak veneered transom doors that swing in. They have amazing stout doors that easily hinge open and lock into a perfectly placed magnet. The aft deck has 2-to-3-person settee with line and gear storage underneath. The deck has three large hatches to access the lazarette and jet.

Deck

Skylark has an Awl-gripped deck capped with varnished custom mahogany toe rails. The owners added a bow rail which follows the shear of the vessel. The windlass and anchor are mounted on a stout varnish teak bowsprit. Lines run in through elegant custom chocks. The hardtop carries all the electronics, lights, and horn. The cabin house has a full-size custom cushion for sunbathing and naps. Deck fills are flush port and starboard, as are the deck drains. The custom wide transom opening allows a dinghy to be pulled on deck. There is a fixed roller on the center of the platform. The next roller is removable and drops into two flush sockets hidden when the doors are closed. You pull the dinghy aboard with a clever light weight block and tackle that mounts in the aft deck settee. Again, when not in use it hides in the ample storage under the settee and the cushions cover the mounting hardware.

Pilothouse

The sedan styling is completely enclosed with glass and canvas. The side windows elegantly slope down capped by varnished mahogany & custom fit enclosure with built in shades fills the rest of the sides & aft end. The "L" shape settee is complimented by the new (2015) cranberry fabric cushions. The helm station is not only a work of art, it is just flat out comfortable. Cruising on Skylark could not have been easier or more enjoyable. Both Stidd seats (new 2014) have hatches overhead for controlled air flow. There are shades on all the windows to keep you out of the tropical sun, Skylark makes it fun & easy to cruise & enjoy being on the water.

Main Cabin

The companionway is spacious & clean. The pocket door rolls into the bulkhead & the slider hides away right next to it. Walking down the three steps the head is immediately to your right. The salon settee is to port with the galley opposite. The interior is very classic with gloss "V" groove paneled overhead with varnished mahogany battens. The sole is satin teak & holly & raised panel mahogany cabinetry. The countertops in the galley & head are black granite with large mica flecks. The salon has teal suede cushions on the settee add a very artistic feel centered around a custom maple and mahogany table. Lots of storage in the galley with custom glassware & dish racks. Behind the settee is a full-length book shelf. The aft end is perfectly laid out with the electrical panel & hideaway custom wine &liquor storage.

Master Cabin

Walking into the master suite forward your eyes are immediately drawn to the elegant, classic rose carvings. The cabin is cozy but romantic with a bed that even big guys will find comfortable. The cabin can be closed off by a gorgeous custom bi-fold door. There are lots of drawers with port & starboard hanging lockers. Some of the finer details to this cabin are the light blocking covers made for the portlights & hatch that block out 100% of the light. 

Head

Just like the rest of the boat the head is beautiful, & like the rest of the boat perfectly functional. Designed with a shower where there is no curtain needed. Everything is high gloss, sealed and protected. The teak grate & portlight carries the nautical theme around the modern Tecma electric head.

Service statement by Lyman-Morse:

"Skylark was built by Lyman-Morse and has been under her service program ever since. We are as detailed in our preventative maintenance as we are with the fit and finish of our cabinetry. We have been lucky to have owners who choose to put the attention as much towards the systems and functions of this boat as they do the aesthetics. Between annual sea trials and inspections from all departments in our service yard to annual oil samples, battery load tests, coolant system ph and pressure tests, any buyer can be assured they are walking onto a sound vessel that will allow them peace of mind that the only worry they should have is whether they have enough time to truly relax and enjoy all Skylark and the Lyman-Morse family has to offer."

Builder's Notes

"Skylark was launched ANNIE ROSE on a spring day in 2005. This 38' jet boat is nimble and beautiful, complete with all the amenities the couple wanted for coastal cruising. Distinctive in all respects, the design came about after working with Chuck Paine and Mark Fitzgerald of C.W. Paine Yacht Design for several years. With them, we developed a stylish, jet cruiser which would be available from us on a semi-custom basis. The primary focus was to deliver a sea-kindly, fast and dry ride; plus, a beautifully appointed exterior and interior with ample accommodations that could be fully customized."
