2006 Custom Mast & Mallet Thomas Point 40

This 2006 Custom Mast & Mallet Thomas Point 40 combines influences from New England lobster boat design with Chesapeake deadrise characteristics. The 40-foot wooden hull measures 13 feet across the beam and is powered by a Cummins diesel engine, making it suited for both practical work and extended cruising.

The Thomas Point 40 was conceived to blend two distinct regional boat-building traditions—the hardy, seaworthy hull forms that evolved on the Atlantic coast. The wooden construction reflects traditional craftsmanship, while the deadrise design provides the kind of sea-kindly motion and workboat practicality that defines this class.
