Gimme Shelter is a well-maintained C.W. Hood Katama 30, the model that inspired the design of the Lyman-Morse Hood 35 LM. Designed as a high-performance classic weekender, commuter yacht, or racing-syndicate platform, the Katama 30 blends traditional Downeast aesthetics with modern construction and refined handling.

Her proven hull design, paired with jet-drive propulsion and a joystick control system integrated with the bow thruster, makes the Katama 30 exceptionally simple and confidence-inspiring to operate. The joystick allows for precise, intuitive control when docking and maneuvering in close quarters, making her easy to handle even short-handed. Ergonomic functionality was a core focus of the design, resulting in a predictable, comfortable, and enjoyable boating experience for owner-operators.

Under her current ownership, Gimme Shelter has been professionally stored and maintained by Lyman-Morse for the past three seasons. Recent updates include new interior cushions, and the vessel has been regularly serviced and maintained by a respected Maine yard. The deck, cockpit, and interior are thoughtfully arranged with a place for everything onboard, making efficient use of space without sacrificing comfort.

Well suited for day boating, weekend cruising, or commuting, Gimme Shelter offers a compelling combination of performance, practicality, and classic style. Backed by the pedigrees of C.W. Hood and Lyman-Morse, she represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking timeless design, modern handling, and quality Maine craftsmanship in an easy-to-own package.
