Marlow Yachts Limited, Inc. has achieved our lofty goal set before the first pencil drawings that began our aspiration to build the world's finest yachts. In less than ten years, we have created a brand name that is recognized world wide for superb craftsmanship, unfailing reliability, creative design, functionality and performance at sea or dockside. We have established the highest resale in our industry by these hallmarks coupled with the high technology and sheer beauty, continuously moving the envelope forward in every area. Our introduction at the Miami International Boat Show in 2001 was considered to be perhaps the most successful introduction of a large yacht in history. We now have well over 100 yachts plying the oceans of the world.
On the technology front we press onward with developing the use of adhesives
so strong that to separate the joined pieces, the primary structure of the
joined pieces must be destroyed. They simply will not come apart at the bond
line. We don’t believe a stronger yacht than our Kevlar and modified epoxy
offerings exists in the world today, whether it is steel, aluminum or unobtanium. We often hear about how strong steel is from other
manufacturers. Factually, steel is not as strong as Kevlar. Steel is strong
for its cost, which is very low. You can buy enough steel to plate the hull
of a seventy foot yacht for a lot less than the cost of the Kevlar used in
our composites. Guess what the military chose for bulletproofing? Kevlar!
The future of the composites industries is as bright as the sun. Every day
new products are introduced that replace steel, aluminum and other materials
in products as diverse as bridges and airplane wings. Kevlar has replaced
steel where armor plating is required to be really bulletproof and in
applications where the weight of steel is a liability. Kevlar is much
stronger than steel and does not deteriorate or corrode. The Marlow Explorer
contains huge amounts of exotic Kevlar fabric designed to strengthen an
already dynamic monocoque structure. Our resins are far beyond the normal
“standard” and exhibit far greater strength and adhesive qualities compared
to those used in all but the finest yachts. Our gel coats are not a stock
off the shelf drum of goo tinted to suit a desired color. They are precisely
and individually formulated specifically for us for each yacht produced. The
formulation changes with the seasons to take into account the differing
temperatures and humidity levels, which can affect final quality of the gel
coat. |
