Description
The Lowell Brothers 43 quickly gained the deserved reputation among commercial fisherman as an excellent sea boat and was the reason this sophisticated owner chose that as the hull for his ultimate Downeast styled yacht. Now an unforeseen change in plans has resulted in the decision to sell her while almost new.
Configured as a two-stateroom galley up arrangement, the head with a separate stall shower and the master stateroom with an island queen berth, the workmanship and finishes are all to yacht standard beginning with her varnished mahogany interior with teak and holly soles. She is beautifully detailed throughout with nicely proportioned lockers, drawers and under deck storage lockers in the cockpit. You name it, this yacht has it! All the equipment and materials are from the best manufacturers and carefully selected for both durability and appearance.
With Norumbega's single 1200 HP MAN diesel and high horsepower hydraulic bow and stern thrusters she is fast, fuel efficient and a breeze to handle! Completed and launched in the summer of 2019 she has about 200 hours of running time.

Vessel Walk Thru
This new custom Lowell Brothers 43, which was just finished by the highly regarded Bruce Farrin's Boat Shop spring of 2019 is a two-stateroom galley up arrangement. Even to the untrained eye, one can see that she is finished to a very high standard with a full varnished mahogany interior with varnished teak and holly soles and with the entire exterior finished in Awlgrip. Thoughtfully proportioned, her layout affords comfort and a full suite of amenities.
She has plenty of headroom with approximately 6'-7" on centerline in the salon/wheelhouse area and 6-6 1/2" outboard with almost 6'-10" headroom below. There is an abundance of natural light and ventilation with windows surrounding the salon/galley (the port and starboard windows are sliders with screens and the center windshield window is opens as well), while below there is one large Bowmar stainless steel hatch, two smaller ones and six stainless opening ports, all of these have screens. When this is insufficient to keep the owners and guests comfortable, there is 28,000 BTUs of reverse cycle air conditioning equipment fitted which will keep the yacht comfortable in a wide range of climates.
Starting forward is the Owner's Stateroom featuring an island queen berth on centerline 6'-8" in length by 4'-6". Above the berth the hull is lined with varnished mahogany sheathing and there are storage shelves with fiddles P&S while below the berth there are 3 large storage drawers (4 drawer faces for symmetry but to port the drawer is double depth). Forward of the drawers one could store all kinds of infrequently needed items in a voluminous storage compartment accessed from the top.
Aft and outboard are mirror image hanging lockers and drawers; the port locker houses a 30" steel safe.
Continuing aft and to starboard is the Guest Stateroom with upper and lower berths 6'-10" in length, the lower being 42" in width and the upper 36". There is a large cargo drawer under the lower berth as well as a top access compartment forward. Fore and aft and inboard of the berths are hanging lockers.
Opposite to port is the Enclosed Head with Vacu-flush freshwater W.C. fore and aft vanity outboard to be fitted with a Corian top, polished stainless-steel sink, separate stall shower compartment with seat and storage compartment outboard and storage in three lockers at the vanity.
Up three steps (storage under) to the wheelhouse/Salon with helm station to starboard, companion seating to port and Salon and Galley aft. Double width helm and companion seats are P&S and have storage under. The starboard side helm station is fully equipped with all vessel controls and electrical distribution panels. As at the port side there is a storage locker outboard. While the helm occupies the space to starboard, forward of the port bench seat is a glass and bottle cabinet.
Aft and to port is the U-Shaped Settee 8' in length and 4'-5" in width. A high low hydraulic pedestal table is fitted for dining and there are large drawers fore and aft for storage as well as some top load storage. The table will drop all the way to berth height making a comfortable double.
The Galley is to starboard and like the settee is 8' in length and L-shaped with plenty of counter space in Black Onyx Corian, Kenyon 3 burner electric ceramic cook top & large convection microwave below. Isotherm dual voltage refrigerator and top load freezer and storage is several lockers and drawers.
The large center-line door does a nice job of bringing the outside in. One half step down to the Cockpit with Permateak teak sole. A large 6'-2" transom seat with storage under coupled with a 3' aft facing seat forward and to starboard (again with storage under) provide plenty of seating; (the transom seat is removeable so that one could fish the yacht if so desired). Additional storage may be found in voluminous space below decks and in the under deck lockers P&S as well as a locker forward under the gently sloped stainless ladder leading to the flying bridge. A starboard side transom door provides easy access to the swim platform. The side decks are generous and easily accessed from the cockpit with convenient hand holds leading forward to where they are ensconced with stainless safety rails starting at the forward end of the wheelhouse.
The Flying Bridge provides an abundance of seating in a U-shape (L settee to starboard and then straight settee to port of the entrance from the ladder, all of course with storage under. Stidd helm and companion seats will provide the skipper and navigator plenty of comfort as well.

A MAN 1200-horsepower fresh water cooled, turbo charged and after cooled diesel turns a Michigan Propeller EQY 34"X 30" #5 cup 4 bladed Nibral propeller on a 3" Aquamet stainless steel shaft through Twin Disc 1.8:1 reduction gear. To help make this a quiet running yacht the drive train incorporates an Evolution Drive System which will help minimize noise and vibration.
The gentleman having the yacht built requested a design/power configuration that would achieve cruise speeds at or very near 20 knots. The company doing the finishing, based on experience with similar hulls/weights suggest that the cruise speed may be closer to 22 knots, they pretty much nailed it.

The cost new was well over $2 million and is offered at a sizable discount and it is ready to cruise now.
