 P.A.E.
began by developing and building the highly renowned line of Mason
sailboats. In fact, the yards that build P.A.E.'s Nordhavn power vessels
are the same yards that build Mason sailboats. While it is true that
the boating market has been much stronger in the powerboat segment
during the past ten years, Mason sailboats continue to be of great
interest to the serious cruiser who has long distance plans.
We will be happy to discuss your interest in one of our Mason designs
and are in a position to take special orders.
Introduction
Mason sailboats have always brought out the romantic adventurer
in sailors. Because of their sheer beauty, and because they are
built to sail around the world, Masons appeal not only to those
with an appreciation of fine, traditional lines, but also to those
with ambitious cruising plans. This combination of high aesthetic
values and offshore capabilities has been tremendously successful;
over 300 Masons have been built to date. It's hard to think of any
sailboat that has more circumnavigations under its keel than Mason.
One Mason 44 has been around the world three times. A Mason 53,
already around the globe five times, is reportedly on her sixth
circumnavigation. Developed and built by Pacific Asian Enterprise
(P.A.E.), which has also developed the successful line of Nordhavn
offshore power vessels, Masons are synonymous with beautiful, handcrafted
interiors, impeccable gelcoat, and meticulously finished stainless-steel
hardware. Their beauty is furthor demonstrated by how well they
sail on and off the wind. Maximizing sailing performance right up
to the point of not sacrificing cruising comfort, they represent
a remarkable value in today's market, along with a high resale value.
Because each Mason is an individual reflection of her new owner,
they are sold one at a time directly by those who are responsible
for building them.
