� � � "I am absolutely captivated by the boat and am not objective at all in my feelings toward her. The general construction is of the highest standard. Like an Irish hunter, she is a workhorse and a lady-maybe not quite as fast around six furlongs as a racehorse, but for the long pull, through timber, brush and over walls, she is really something." Mason 44 Owner Published in Practical Sailor
� � � Quivira presents and should survey as a much newer vessel. With a great history of caring ownership, indoor storage by current owner and regular maintenance and upgrades, this is arguably one of the nicest versions of the beloved Mason 44's currently available. This boat has never had teak decks!
