All laminations took place in dehumidified air-conditioned lay-up rooms. Materials such as fiberglass, resin, foam, etc., are also stored within climatically controlled areas as mandated by Lloyd\'s regulations. Every Mason was built to the same rigorous standards.\nThe Mason 44 hull is completely hand laminated with eight full-length longitudinal foam-filled stringers. Heavy laminated transverse transvers stringers, double bonded 3/4" structural bulkheads, and joiner bulkheads used for interior furniture assured a rigid structure capable of withstanding a great deal of abuse...\nA vertical-end grain balsa core separated two hand laid laminates of one-piece molded fiberglass deck. The deck was secured to the hull using a combination of 3-M 5200 epoxy compound, heavy fiberglass bonding of six laminates, thru bolts on 8" centers and self-tapping stainless-steel screws on on 8" centers. Many designers of production fiberglass "offshore cruising boats" endorsed identical hull to deck joint construction but without the fiberglass lamination. The Mason 44 had without a question the toughest hull to deck joint in the industry.\nIt should be noted that there are no less than six 3/4" structural bulkheads in a Mason 44, all of which are attached to fiber rope (mare\'s tale) and three alternating laminates of 1 1/2 oz. matt and woven roving on both sides of mahogany bulkhead. The foam between the bulkhead and the hull insures no hard spots on bulkhead transfer visible from the yachts exterior. Every joinery bulkhead (of which there are dozens) is also attached to the deck and hull using two alternating layers of fiberglass matt and woven roving. Also note that one of eight full-length foam and fiberglass longitudinal stringer. No other yacht offers this level of security and peace of mind." ~ Pacific Asian Enterprises\nCONSTRUCTION\nHull painted in Awlgrip \'Whisper Grey\' - 2014\nTeak rub rail fitted 2014\nNew fuel tank fitted 2019 - port side under bunk\nHolding tank fitted\nDECK\n"Only the highest quality electropolished stainless steel was used for the deck hardware onboard the Mason 44.

On the standard cutter-rigged boat, the double spreader rig utilizes a individual chainplate for both the upper and intermediate stays. The upper and intermediate chainplates, as with all the chainplates, are forged stainless steel measuring 1/2" x 2" and running below the deck level over 36". Both chainplates are attached to a primary structural bulkhead which is reinforced with two 3/4" mahogany doublers. The total thickness of this chainplate attachment is just under three inches, including all the fiberglass lamination. The two chainplates are anchored to either side of the bulkhead with eight 7/16\' stainless steel bolts. The fore and aft lower chainplates which are 1/4" x 1 3/4" are similarly anchored to a 3/4" mahogany webs laminate with three alternating layers of 1 1/2 oz. matt and woven roving plus the mare\'s tails as discussed in the structural bulkhead attachment." ~ Pacific Asian Enterprises\nRIGGING\nStanding rigging overhauled & replaced 2019\nNew running rigging 2019\nCutter rig with Harken furling Yankee & Staysail\nNew conventional boom fitted 2019 - Selden\nNew Antal mainsail track & car system to mast - 2019\nGuard wires from 2019\nSAILS\nNew white sails from Penrose - 2019\nHydranet Mainsail, Yankee & staysail\nCrusiing chute in snuffer - date unknown but in good shape\nELECTRICAL\nComplete re-wire in 2014\nConverted to 240V systems\nNew switch panels\nAGM service batteries from 2023\nSwitch panel in cockpit for nav lights & spreader lights\nNAVIGATION\nRaymarine navigation system\nHybrid touch screens at helm and chart table\nRaymarine radar\nRaymarine ST60 speed & depth & wind\nRaymarine i70 Autopilot from 2016\nAIS CLASS B transponder\nLarge Ritchie compass at binnacle\nICOM - DSC VHF - M423\nFusion domestic stereo system\nACCOMMODATION\nBeautiful teak interior\nFull diesel heating system (Eberspacher) heating every room - fitted 2014\nNew galley Force 10 cooker - fitted 2017\nNew gas hoses 2024\nRefrigeration pumps - fitted 2014\n2 cabin layout with forward V berth (with infill)\nLarge aft double cabin\nSaloon seating & sea berths with Lee cloths\nHeads with manual pump toilet & separate shower\nMECHANICAL\nYanmar 4JHE 55hp engine fitted new 2014 - serviced May 2024\nFolding prop\nSingle lever throttle & gear control (replaced original dual lever system)\nFreezer system from 2014\nBowthruster (Sidepower)_ - fitted 2015\nDisclaimer\nThe Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
