History and Owner's Comments
Marnie was originally built for Donald Dalziel a knowledgeable West Coast yachtsman and racer. Having experienced over eight Transpacs, Mr. Dalziel sought out Al Mason to design a fast and sea kindly ocean cruiser but one suitable to be sailed by a family.

Between Don, Al Mason and John Salthouse, there was more than enough practical experience to draw upon. This is evident as you step aboard, the more you look the more you see!

Eventually age caught up with Don and he was forced to retire from the cruising life. This is when the current owner became custodian of this beautiful and capable yacht. In 1999 my wife and I cruised from Northern California along the coast to Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, thru the Canal and back to Virginia. From there Marnie has seen the East Coast, Caribbean, Bahamas, across the Atlantic and throughout the Mediterranean. Our cruising visited Turkey, Croatia, Greece, France, Italy, Spain, Canary Islands, Cape Verde and back across the Atlantic. We finished a six year circumnavigation in June 2013.

Throughout our adventures, the attention to detail and the quality of this yacht always stood out. Marnie is an excellent and comfortable sailing yacht in both light air and heavy wind and seas, capable of taking her pasengers safely to any point on the globe.
