A. Mason Yacht Design Verification


This service is available to anyone who believes they own, or are considering buying, a boat attributed to Al Mason. Unfortunately, not all boats advertised as having been designed by Al Mason were, in fact, designed by him.

Over the years, a number of unscrupulous individuals, usually builders, would purchase a set of plans to build one boat, and then proceed to build additional boats to the same design. Sometimes, they simply used the hull form, and designed the rest themselves. Still other times, they would alter the entire design and proceed to market it as an A. Mason-designed boat. The surest sign that a boat is not an authentic A. Mason boat is the number of previous owners the boat had and the short length of each ownership.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
The MASON Series (MASON 34, MASON 44, MASON 52, MASON 54, & MASON 64) marketed by Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. (PAE) were not designed by naval architect Alvin Mason, nor were they ever authorized or approved by Al Mason. Any advertising claims to the contrary (including any inferences to Al Mason's reputation through the use of the word MASON) are bogus!
