Accommodations Lyle Hess out did himself to create a boat you can sail around the world and at the same time, you can put her on a trailer and drag her across a continent. The interior layout gives you everything you need on a boat with a 20 foot waterline that you can sail yourself anywhere in the world. There is a nice salon area amidships with two quarter berths port and starboard as sea berths. The forward cabin is a V-berth at anchor and a head. Just beneath the companionway, an ingenious slide-out table forms a dinette inside the salon. There are four bronze opening ports in the main salon, and forward there is a very large hatch that provides light and ventilation. The forward cabin has a little V-berth with the portapotti under it. There's a new portapotti stored in the lazerette for night time. (Great idea) There is amazing storage on the vessel. Enouth to prepare for a
substantial voyage of some months at sea. The Falmouth Cutter has
stainless steal sink and a two burner gimballed propane stove with
an oven and broiler for cooking and a large ice box. Foot pumps for
fresh water and sea water. Cabin lights, oil lamps, and a very nice
Chelsea Ships Clock and Barometer! Elise is a big little boat. She
is everything a little blue water vessel should be. |
Navigation and Electronics Nice new stuff!
|
Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing Systems Elise lived most of her life with no engine as many of the Falmouth Cutters did, but now, just for you, she has a brand new Yanmar with less than 100 hours! Along with that engine are new engine mounts, a dripless shaft seal, and a beautiful new three blade prop. She's also got two new batteries and a new AC panel. Yes, she has shore power! And cabin lights! And nav lights.
|
Sails and Rigging She’s got the rig of a 30’ boat mounted on her, with an 8’ bowsprit and shorter boomkin. With her powerful sail area of 403 sq. feet. for an 8,000 lb boat, she moves!

Hull, Deck and Ground Tackle If you want a boat you can sail yourself, this is it. You'll find everything truly manageable! All the winches are in easy reach. She's a delight to sail. Quick and lively with enough sails area to keep you going. You'll be amazed. And Sam L. Morse-built Falmouth Cutters are among the world's strongest boats! In terms of the build quality, it is top notch. The hull has been
leveled and the ballast encapsulated, the bulkheads are installed.
Bulkheads are 3/4" marine plywood bonded directly to the hull
on both sides with 10" of 1.5 oz mat, 24 oz roving, 1.5 oz mat,
and 7.5 oz cloth. A 1" foam barrier is installed between the
bulkheads and the hull. This cushioning pad prevents hard point
failure of the hull after years of yielding to the forces of the
sea. The more a bulkhead is bonded to the hull and deck, the
stronger the boat. There are 2 bulkheads bonded 360 degrees, and two
additional quarter bulkheads bonded to the hull and deck amidships.
After the bulkheads have been installed, the furniture is fitted and
bonded to the hull sides a similar fashion as the bulkheads. All
furniture is bonded on both sides using two layers of 8" 1. 5
oz mat and 7.5 oz cloth. The bonding of the furniture is clearly
visible because we make no attempt to hide it. Teak plywood is used
on cabinet and bunk faces, and finished with solid teak trim. Solid
ash ceiling strips line the hull sides. The cabin sole is 1/2"
solid teak laid over 3/4" marine ply.

Additional Information
Lin and Larry Pardey have sailed far and long in their little channel cutters. First sailing in Seraffyn and then in Taleisin. If you don't know the story, you need to go read all the books they wrote!Seraffyn was the first little cutter that Lyle Hess designed for Larry Pardey. Lin and Larry Pardey built the vessel themselves and sailed her for the next 20 years. The Falmouth Cutter is a slightly smaller version of the famous Seraffyn. The cutters of Lyle Hess embody the perfect combination of tradition, seaworthiness, simplicity, style and pugnacious. His plumb stems speak of a confidence, an unwavering ability, in the face of all the sea can offer. His balanced rigs and outboard rudders speak of long days runs, with nary a hand on the helm, to tropical destinations.
The Falmouth Cutter is the biggest 22 foot boat you will ever see. She’s as big inside-as many 27-30 footers. Try on the headroom of 5'll".
When Sam L. Morse first started building the Falmouth Cutter he sold the boat in any stage of completion in order to get things rolling. Many of the cutters were sold as a bare hull. Later, Sam L Morse perfected the "kit" yacht making high quality vessels accessible to the people with the passion who just might not be a shipwright. But the best of them are the factory finished Sam L. Morse Falmouth Cutters. One like Elise is hard to find.
