Construction

A robust fiberglass hull and superstructure deliver enduring strength, quiet running, and low-maintenance confidence, forming the perfect foundation for capable coastal cruising and refined downtime at anchor.

Dimensions

Overall length is 40.00 feet (12.19 meters) with a molded beam of 13.50 feet (4.11 meters) and a loaded draft of 4.50 feet (1.37 meters). Dry weight is 22,000 lb.

Performance is confident and efficient: maximum speed is 21.0 knots at 2,400 RPM with consumption of 25 US gallons per hour and a range of about 250 nm; an easy cruise at 17.0 knots and 2,000 RPM returns roughly 20 US gallons per hour and 328 nm; the economical setting of 11.0 knots at 1,200 RPM sips 10 US gallons per hour for up to 946 nm of range.

Machinery

Propulsion is provided by one Cummins QSM-11 rated at 635 hp, turning through a ZF gearbox on a 2 1/2" stainless steel shaft and driving a bronze five-blade propeller; a RE Thomas shaft line cutter and a no-drip shaft seal add security underway. Ship’s power comes from one 6 kW Northern Lights generator, complemented by twin 30 amp shore cords. The battery suite was renewed in December 2022 and includes two house batteries, two engine-start batteries, and two thruster batteries, all managed via a custom Legacy electrical panel with AC and DC breakers plus volt and amp meters. Five Cole Hersey heavy-duty 600 amp on/off battery switches serve the thrusters, starting battery, windlass, and house circuits, and a battery charger is fitted for reliable replenishment.

Climate control is assured by reverse-cycle air conditioning with 12,000 and 7,000 BTU outputs, augmented by Webasto air purifiers and aft built-in solar-powered vent fans.

Further mechanical confidence comes from trim tabs/stabilizers, a Side-power electric bow thruster, and a Wesmar Side-power electric stern thruster new in 2024. The steering suite features Mathers ZF Micro Commander single-lever engine control and a Cummins Smart Digital display with a slow-idle setting, with three steering stations arrayed at the flybridge, pilothouse, and cockpit. Fuel is conditioned by dual Racor filters with vacuum gauges, and serviceability is elevated by a Reverso oil-change pump with pickups for the engine, transmission, and generator. The Raritan Marine Elegance electric macerating head pairs with a holding-tank pumpout system, while the freshwater system includes a 10-gallon hot water heater and bow and cockpit washdown hoses for both fresh and salt water. Bilge security is handled by electric bilge pumps with automatic switches, and a comprehensive spares kit supports the engine, generator, and bilge pump.

Communication, navigation & entertainment systems

Clear ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication is delivered by three Icom VHF radios. Navigation confidence comes from Furuno radar, a Ritchie Powerdamp magnetic compass, a Simrad AP-20 autopilot with handheld remote, and a Furuno depth sounder. Display architecture is built around the Furuno NavNet system, with three Furuno GP-37 GPS navigator displays positioned at the cockpit, the flybridge helm, and as a spare, plus two Furuno RD-30 instrument displays at the cockpit and flybridge helms. Entertainment flows throughout the yacht via an Apple TV system, a fold-down LG Smart TV in the salon, and an Alpine IVE-W535HD multimedia station with DVD, Bluetooth, and USB feeding speakers in the salon, cockpit, and flybridge.

Galley & laundry equipment

The main galley is thoughtfully appointed with a two-burner Princess electric cooktop and a Sharp microwave, while refrigeration is managed by an under-counter refrigerator and a convenient top-loading freezer compartment.

Tenders & toys

An eight-foot inflatable dinghy with oars accompanies the yacht, ready for shore trips and quiet explorations.

Deck equipment

Ground tackle is anchored by a Muir 12 V DC electric windlass, a galvanized Delta primary anchor, and a secondary Fortress, with 150' of chain joined to 150' of eight-plait yacht-braid rode and an additional secondary chain and rode. A swim platform enhances water access. Anglers will appreciate the baitwell and sink beneath the flybridge ladder, multiple rod holders mounted to the handrails, Lee graphite outriggers on the flybridge, and a removable fighting chair stowed in the bunk area. Overhead protection is provided by a stainless steel folding bimini and a custom overhead awning. Night operations are aided by one remote-controlled spotlight and two handheld units. Thoughtful finishing touches include exterior canvas window covers, fenders and docklines, forepeak storage flanking the windlass for chain, fenders, and lines, and a courtesy light tucked into the bulwarks.

Security, fire fighting & safety equipment

Safety at sea is underpinned by a Fireboy automatic fire suppression system protecting the machinery space. The equipment roster includes one six-person Viking life raft new in 2023, along with life jackets and flares.

Accommodations

LINDY is a well-maintained 2004 40' (12.19 m) Legacy Motor Yacht showcasing timeless Downeast styling, a comfortable two-stateroom layout, and dependable diesel power. Equally at home cruising, fishing, or relaxing at anchor, she offers a bright, welcoming salon, a functional galley, and an open cockpit—an ideal coastal cruiser for couples or small families seeking versatility with elegance. The aft cockpit forms a comfortable outdoor hub with direct access to the swim platform and a ladder to the flybridge. An aft-facing seat conceals useful storage beneath its cushion, while a secondary outboard steering station beside it provides controls for the engine plus the bow and stern thrusters. Above, the flybridge expands both entertaining and piloting space with a triple helm seat, a single passenger seat to port, and a custom second row of seating aft, with additional stowage beneath the helm and aft seats.

For owners and guests, LINDY accommodates five across a forward master cabin, a guest cabin, and a shared head with shower. Guests can unwind in the light-filled salon, dine alfresco in the cockpit, and make the most of the helm deck and foredeck for cruising or lounging. The guest cabin sleeps up to three, featuring a lower berth that pulls out to convert into a small double, and sliding pocket doors that close to ensure privacy.
