Description

MARA, ex ARCADIA, is hull number 8 of a total of 9 Able Apogees built by the famed Able Marine in Maine. Able was then sold to Morris where they continued to build this most popular blue water performance cruiser as the Morris 51. 

MARA is designed and built for long distance passage making with an emphasis on ocean going comfort as well as performance. With only 6’ of draft she is capable of cruising most parts of the world. MARA is set up for short-handed sailing with most running rigging led to the cockpit. A powerful autopilot, electric primary and main halyard winches, uncluttered decks, roller furling for the headsail and roller furling for the staysail make MARA a breeze to sail. Clicking off 200 mile plus days under sail should be considered a common experience.

Below decks are 3 generous sleeping cabins with sea bunks aft, a proper “U” shaped sea galley, large navigation station, walk in engine space and handrails everywhere. For safety at sea, no one space below deck is too large yet all cabins remain most comfortable.

For a “go anywhere, do anything” boat, add MARA to your list of must see vessels.          

HULL

The FRP hull is hand laminated in one piece using a single-element female mold. 

Materials include a combination of non-woven biaxial glass, unidirectional roving and Kevlar reinforcement in particularly stressed areas such as the forward position of the hull and the turn of the bilge at mid-keel. 

The core consists of Baltek one-inch CK-100 end-grain balsa below the waterline and CK-57 between the waterline and the sheer. 

Notably, hull core is omitted in all areas of thru-hull penetration in lieu of solid glass. 

Resin throughout the hull is 100-percent vinylester. 

A system of stringers and structural floors is glassed in immediately after the last layer of laminate to ensure a strong primary bond. 

Additionally, all major bulkheads are bonded to the hull and deck, with Airex foam fillets to optimize cohesion.

DECK

The hull-deck joint is accomplished by means of a double inward flange, an anodized and perforated aluminum toe rail, thru-bolts and 3M-5200 sealant/adhesive. 

The deck itself utilizes polyester resin and is cored with one-inch Baltek end-grain balsa except where solid glass is built up in areas of hardware attachment. 

Deck fittings are thru-bolted and carried by G-10 backing plates. 

Each chain plate is engineered to carry more than the entire weight of the boat at any given time.
