ME 61E

While conventional wisdom in the marine industry holds that a company should introduce ever-larger models, we intend to bring the unsurpassed quality level of the Explorer lineup down into more modest sizes to satisfy an obvious demand. The 61E is another step in that chain, following the introduction and delivery of the ME57C at Fort Lauderdale 2003. Our intention is to fill the obvious gaps existent within the segment of the marine marketplace we call home.

Hull 61-3 is powered by the Caterpillar C-12 series of engines for speeds in the twenty plus knot range. Featuring a full standup and spacious engine room with a machinery space finish level to rival the finest custom sport fishermen, she will allow you to visit Bermuda without a problem or run at higher speeds to a favorite weekend destination.

The new 61E follows the very successful introduction of the 65C, 70E, 72C, and 57C using the same technology of specifically engineered fabrics and resins. Our modified epoxy resins combined with the legendary strength of Dupont Kevlar assures a hull that can go to sea in less than favorable conditions keeping her passengers safe and comfortable.

The use of resin infusion, where practical and beneficial, leads to precise resin to fiber ratios for maximum strength and minimum weight.

Like her smaller and larger sisters in the ever expanding product line, the Marlow Explorer 61E exhibits comparatively huge volumes of space compared to typical polyester and woven roving construction with plywood bulkheads and wood framed bilges. By eliminating wooden supports, bulkheads and framing in favor of vacuum bagged sandwich construction we have once again been able to bring a yacht to market with 79" of headroom in the main salon and lower accommodations areas, 74" in the engine room and a total height to the top of the hardtop of just 18’. This low profile make a far superior sea boat with a drastically lowered center of gravity, while allowing the yacht to slip under many bridges an ordinary yacht in this size range would have to wait for.

The proprietary and protected Strut Keels® are used to great success allowing propeller protection and down sea tracking that has the industries' experts raving. Like feathers on an arrow, these twin tails guide and stabilize the yacht making heavy downwind running a delight rather than a white knuckle experience.

Featuring 304 stainless steel water tanks, fiberglass fuel tanks (no corrosion) and the finest fittings available from the premier suppliers around the globe, the 61E will be, like her sisters, a yacht for the ages.

Standing elegantly at a fine marina or forging her way through seas that would make ordinary yachts tremble, the new Marlow Explore 61E will need no apology for any shortcoming. We have brought the craftsmanship from the descendants of the Ming and other Dynasty furniture makers together with the very best in Western technology resulting in an exquisite piece of art to be treasured by her lucky owners.

Whether you plan to visit the Galapagos, Prince Edward Island, Bermuda or the Spice Islands of the Caribbean the new 61E will take you there in comfort and safety carried in the hearts and hands of seamen who have been there before you.
