The term "Lobster Yacht" denotes a pleasure boat built on the lines of a working lobster boat. The term is more commonly used "away" than on Mount Desert Island. This name describes the look of these boats in a world where so many working and pleasure boats resemble each other. Boat builders on MDI would probably not use this term so this database generally uses the term "pleasure boat" and leaves the viewer to make his or her own distinction. The following publications and many others use the term Lobster Yacht: - National Fisherman, Volume 70, 1989 - Understanding Boat Design by Edward S. Brewer and Ted Brewer, published by McGraw-Hill Professional, 1993 - The Illustrated Dictionary of Boating Terms: 2,000 Essential Terms for Sailors & Powerboaters by John Rousmaniere, W. W. Norton & Company, 1998 - Wooden Boat, Wooden Boat Publications, 2005 - Sorensen's Guide to Powerboats, 2 by Eric Sorensen, published by McGraw-Hill Professional, 2007

The wooden comb below the tiller of Joseph Walter Cooper's Maine Sloop Boat was a device made so that the tiller could be dropped in between the teeth of the comb so that a set course would not alter. A comb was particularly useful for single handed sailors.
