Designed by Craig Walters and built by the respected Lyman Morse Boatbuilding yard in Maine, this substantial cruising sailboat represents quality American craftsmanship from the mid-1980s. The fiberglass construction combines traditional aesthetic appeal with modern durability, reflecting Lyman Morse's reputation for building robust, seaworthy vessels. With nearly 49 feet of overall length and a generous beam of 13.75 feet, the Seguin 48 offers spacious accommodations while maintaining excellent sailing characteristics. The deep 9.25-foot draft and substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio provide exceptional stability and windward performance, making this yacht well-suited for serious offshore cruising and extended passages. The masthead sloop rig delivers impressive sail-carrying ability, while the moderate displacement design strikes an effective balance between comfort and performance. Her comfort ratio of 30.33 indicates a motion that's manageable in seaway conditions, and the low capsize screening value demonstrates inherent stability and safety margins that offshore sailors demand. This combination of thoughtful design, quality construction, and proven seaworthiness makes the Seguin 48 an excellent choice for experienced sailors seeking a capable bluewater cruiser with the pedigree of one of America's most respected boatbuilders.
