    Design

    "Al Mason designed the Mason 43. During his career, Mason worked with Carl Alberg, John Alden, Philip Rhodes, and Sparkman & Stephens, as well as independently. His take on design is generally traditional, with pleasing proportions and gentle sheer lines. According to PAE's Joe Meglen, the 43 is an "evolution of a successful CCA ocean racer named Sitzmark," which evolved from the Nevins Yawl, Finisterre, and, farther back, the New York 32... The design of the Mason 43, with its long trunk cabin, generous overhangs and full keel, makes no pretenses of modernity. Apt adjectives include Traditional, Classic, Handsome, and, according to the ads, "Timeless.' With its heavy displacement (d/l ratio= 400) and cutter or ketch rig, cruising is clearly its intention." ~ Practical Boat Buying

    Builder

    Ta Shing Yacht Building Co. of Tainan, Taiwan built the molds and the boats for PAE. During a tour of Taiwan boat builders in 1986 we felt that Ta Shing was doing the best work of any Taiwanese-owned and operated yard in the country (the other superior yard at that time was Ted Hood's Little Harbor facility). Ta Shing also has built the Norseman 447 Skye 54, the Babas, Flying Dutchmans and Pandas and its own Tasbiba and Taswell lines....

    Construction

    "The Mason boats are heavily built with solid fiberglass hulls, balsa-cored decks, and eight longitudinal foam/ fiberglass stringers for added stiffness. Bulkheads are 3/4-inch mahogany plywood bonded to the hull with foam in between to prevent hard spots (the right way). The hull/deck joint of the 43 was... through-bolted, caulked with Thiokol, and reinforced with stainless steel flat stock." ~ Practical Boat Buying Hull - hand laid to Lloyds +100 A1 specifications with ten full-length longitudinal stringers Deck - molded fiberglass sandwich core construction with teak overlay Cabin - molded fiberglass sandwich core construction Exterior trim - teak
