A close-up shows the attention to detail which is incumbent in Marlow yachts. Note the finely merged woodwork and glistening teak, as well as the heavy chrome/stainless steel. It is a fine example of the care which Marlowe takes with its products, which include Schwepper German hardware, ducted air conditioning and heating, dovetailed Douglas fir drawers on stainless steel slides, gas cylinder lifts on berths, and top drawer fabrics for draperies and bedspreads.

Down below, the workhorses that spur this husky globe-trotter reside in their own luxury, with walk around space well organized for maintenance. The list of equipment is several pages long, and includes details for Aquadrive-Centa couplings, Lexan sound shields, FRP fuel tanks and SS water tanks. There are four 3700 GPH bilge pumps, polished steel engine beds, riser and manifolds, an underwater exhaust system, HD watertight engine room doors, as well as engine-generator-gears and fresh water system; and on ad infinitum.

All that said, the Marlow Explorer 57 is indeed a superlative trawler-yacht; one that is built to transport a dedicated wanderer anywhere in the world the audacious heart may desire. <end>
