Norsemen-Marlow Launches Recycle Campaign

For Norsemen-Marlow, the issue of sustainability is no longer an afterthought.  It's built into our communication agenda.  Acting as a responsible business and a desirable brand makes the choice to be environmentally responsible essential and we are leading the industry in responsible manufacturing .  Which is why Norsemen-Marlow does business with  non-polluting vendors whenever possible and encourages all our business partners to act in an environmentally responsible manner. 

That's a lot more than "green" spin.  It's the nature of our business.  And we include that message in all our advertising and communications - a reminder for all of us to recycle.

Marlow Yachts LTD Becomes NMMA Certified


 
         Marlow Yachts LTD  has been certified under the National Marine Manufacturers Association’s Certification Program.  While all boats in the United States must meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations, boats built by manufacturers participating in the NMMA Certified Program must also meet the more comprehensive standards set by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC). 
     “Earning the ‘NMMA Certified’ designation is a major achievement for Marlow” says Chairman David Marlow. “It is independent evidence for our customers that we’re committed to building a quality product and have the utmost concern for their safety and well being.”
      The NMMA Certification program covers approximately 31 categories of standards, which vary by boat type and size and include: fuel systems; ventilation; passenger and weight capacity; horsepower capacity; flotation; electrical systems; navigation lights; warning label placement and guidelines; and steering systems.
      The NMMA Certified label on a Marlow Yacht lets you know it was built to meet and often exceed, strict quality and safety standards established by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Boat & Yacht Council. Certified boats must also pass rigorous annual inspections from independent third-party inspectors. As a result, U.S. Coast Guard statistics show NMMA Certified boats have been shown to be safer than non-certified boats.
     Marlow Yachts LTD build yachts in the 37-86-foot range for long-range cruising in weather many yachts stay in port.  “We are proud to achieve this important milestone in our continuing pursuit of yachting perfection. Our promise to our customers as we prepare to deliver our 100th hull is to continue to lead the industry in technology, innovation, quality of workmanship and materials with above all else, integrity to our customers, employees and suppliers” said David Marlow, Chairman.

Marlow Yachts Introduces the Prowler Classic 375 Outboard

      With the advent of the exceptionally reliable, economical and quiet running large outboard engines, Marlow Yachts is now offering the Marlow Prowler 375 Classic with twin or  triple outboards.  Exemplified by the ultra  high technology E-Tec from Evinrude, the powerful new 4 strokes from Suzuki and the latest Yamahas, outboard power in mid range yachts has become a viable alternative to conventional diesel power. The new engine offerings provide the advantages of extremely shallow draft, much less than the jets that are proving to be high maintenance and poor performing by comparison.  In areas of high barnacle growth the outboards may be tilted completely clear of the water at dockside, eliminating marine growth or stray corrosive effect common to the aluminum components found in jets.  In comparing efficiency, these new outboards deliver remarkable performance compared to the jets and rival the best of the diesel inboards in overall economy.

     For the Prowler 375, Marlow-Norsemen  have developed and engineered a proprietary transom mounting system that removes the engines from the immediate cockpit area providing increased performance and reduced sound levels. Service is accomplished by sitting on a wide transom seat in comfort rather than hanging over the transom as normally seen.  Though it is expected that the Diesel inboard market will continue to occupy a large share of the market, the high initial and maintenance costs associated with jets will continue their fall from the power of choice for many. The advanced technology offered today by companies such as Evinrude E-Tec will cause these compact power plants to be seen on more and larger transoms.

 The Marlow Prowler 375 powered with triple E-Tec outboards is a stellar performer and will offer great economy and durability. She carries over 400 gallons of fuel in a single fiberglass fuel tank, just like the big Marlow Explorers. This system eliminates the surety of a corroded aluminum fuel tank that will one day leak fuel into the bilges and makes fuel management fully automatic. Both the  Prowler models - Classic and Open  are Full Stack© infused, which produces strength in the laminate that is simply far and away stronger than any other method of laminating the company has tested.   Both are produced alongside the world class Marlow Explorer Yachts, benefiting from all the technological enhancements that are applied on an ongoing basis.  The new Marlow Prowler Classic 375, powered with triple E-Tec 250 hp outboards will debut at the 2007 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, at Bahia Bar, Dock F-G, slips 20-24.  For more information about Marlow Yachts Limited, Inc., call 800.362.2657 or email:  sales@marlowyachts.com.

                                     Exploring Galley Cuisine - Marlow’s Own Recipes Now Published

 
Through her commitment to fresh, seasonal, and organic foods, Barbara Marlow  has created “Exploring Galley Cuisine”, a series of  seafood meals, gleaned from a lifetime of cruising with her husband, David Marlow.  These recipes take on the big topics: romance, the road within, and food.   Her collection of recipes succeeds in capturing the universal elements of food and dining pleasure, no matter where you may find yourself.  

 

Carefully edited and presented, the recipes are introduced with a brief synopsis and commented on by her personal experiences.  Reading these recipes  is sometimes like eating salt peanuts, you just can't stop.   They are so complete, fragrant, and satisfying that you close the book, look out the window and let the images and ideas fade gently away. 
 
Barbara Marlow’s  book is a gentle manifesto as much as it is a cookbook. Her descriptions mingle the perfume of fresh tree picked lemons, the sheen of hours-old salmon, and the quiver of a fresh picked zucchini blossom. Most of these recipes are easy to do at home, even if you don't have access to the fresh seafood ingredients that Barbara does while cruising, but that is really the point of this cookbook. She encourages cooks to be guided by their senses and to use local produce in recipes inspired by the rich flavors of land and sea. Your backyard may not be Provence, but it can be just as tasty if you do some foraging in your own neighborhood. 
 
Reading this book is like sitting down at a worldwide table, tasty, engrossing, a Babel of flavors and attitudes that combine to a very satisfying meal. 

 
Barbara Marlow is an accomplished home cook and yachtswoman, who has cruised with her husband for over 30 years.   She has collected these recipes together from her submissions to the Marlow Marine Cruising Club's newsletter during the past 12 years.
 
Barbara Marlow’s “Exploring Galley Cuisine”  is available for purchase only through Marlow Marine Sales. 

Contact sales@marlowmarine.com or call 800.362.2657 for more information!

MARLOW YACHTS DEVELOPS 86’ COCKPIT MOTOR YACHT

 
      Construction of the largest yacht to date, the new Marlow Explorer 86 Cockpit Motor Yacht is well under way. This newest offering is scheduled to debut late in 2007, with several retail orders already in hand insuring yet another successful launch of the Marlow lineage.

 
     Four thousand US gallons of fuel capacity combined with a very efficient hull form provides exemplary long range capability on board the 86CMY encouraging exotic faraway ports. Owners of this yacht may easily cruise from the mainland of Central America to the Galapagos Islands, returning to the mainland without concern for fuel reserve. Non stop passages from San Juan,  Puerto Rico to Halifax, Nova Scotia or Cozumel, Mexico to Hamilton, Bermuda onward to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor are all within range of this high performance yacht.

 
     To compliment the outstanding range of the new Marlow 86CMY, Marlow Yachts will offer this model certified by Bureau Veritas. Founded in Belgium in 1828, Bureau Veritas provides technical services worldwide focusing on quality, rigid construction standards, environmental, health, safety and social accountability. Bureau Veritas Certification is recognized by more than 30 national and international accreditation bodies across the world to deliver ISO 9001 and other certifications. As a consequence, Bureau Veritas Certification offers the possibility of combined certifications to the largest range of highly recognized standards. Marlow Yachts will join only 7,100 ships in the world currently classed by Bureau Veritas (out of a total of 45,400 sea-going vessels classed worldwide).

 
     Marlow Yachts are built according to ABYC, NMMA, USCG and other standards as applicable.  They are offered certified by ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), Lloyds Register, BV, ISO 9001, and with Certification to Ocean Class Category One classification. This classification level is a status enjoyed by less than a handful of pleasure powerboat manufacturers.

 
     The legendary quality and heritage of the nearly one hundred previously built Marlow Yachts is evident from the moment one boards this elegant new design from the bright minds at Marlow. All Marlow Yachts are constructed using the proprietary RIVAT infusion system (Resin Infused Vacuum Assisted Transfer) developed and pioneered at their own state of the art and environmentally green Marlow-Norsemen facility near Xiamen, China.  Resins from the Epoxy family are infused, into Carbon, Kevlar and SAN Foam with specifically engineered biaxial fabrics to produce a monocoque structure free of rattles and leaks

 
     The stunning exterior appearance and interior accommodations of the yacht were carefully designed for maximum performance and comfort at sea, yet artistic detail remains true to the heritage of every Marlow.  The unique placement of the three separate crew cabins located amidships insures privacy for all and a comfortable location for the crew at sea. You will find the signature intricate joiner work of fine woods with extensive detail work that are the hallmark of every Marlow Yacht - dove-tailed drawer joints in every room, fiddle rails on all furniture tops, tambour doors, beveled glass cabinets and countless access panels, which reveal organized electrical wires and plumbing routed through well marked and purpose built conduits. Bilges are faired to perfection and Formica lines all storage bins, which can be found inside most pieces of furniture and cabinetry. Doors have Schwepper hardware from Germany and gold plated sconces from Denmark adorn all guest and entertainment areas. Tasteful, functional and well crafted, the accommodations, including crew quarters are finished to perfection. The transom area incorporates a large toy box for additional storage of water toys, easily accessed from her large cockpit.  Once again Marlow has redefined performance, quality and value in one of the most technologically advanced yachts afloat.
