A 78E takes shape in the foreground
while a 72 is progressing behind it.
A 78E is subjected to a 24 hour "water
torture" test.
A Prowler 375 is getting its water
test.
With the growing number of highly skilled
craftsmen working at Norsemen, we are able to fabricate most of
our own components. This worker is making a stainless steel
ladder.
Our woodworkers are some of the finest
in the yachting business. Their skills are evident in the
beautiful details of items such as this overhead handrail for
the salons of the Marlow Explorers.
A master craftsman is in the finishing
stages of this hand crafted steering wheel. It is a steel core
for strength completely encased in teak with inlaid ebony for
sheer beauty. The center cover is highly polished stainless
steel laser-engraved with the Marlow Explorer logo.
The Marlow Explorers are built using
three major molded components. This photo shows a hull on the
far left with its superstructure joined, and superstructure and
flybridge components ready to be joined to an awaiting hull.
There is also the superstructure of a new Prowler and outside, a
completed Prowler 375 ready for shipping.
This Prowler is getting a final buff on
its already mirror-like hull. Look for this beauty in the
Seattle area.
The wood shop is busy with the
building of the various small wood items such a drawers,
molding, doors and frames.
