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 200 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.

I have just today become acquainted with the Mason line of sailboats and I gotta say I am in lust! If you notice there is a beauty sitting in the much acclaimed “Boatdejour” spot to the left. What a beauty! If I were to come into some money tomorrow there is a very good chance I would be calling a broker. As a certain Mr. Tilllerman used to be fond of saying, “OMG!” I don’t know if there are still any readers left of the once popular Boat de Jour, but if you have any experience with these beauties I would love to hear about it.
Feast your eyes on these!

Hi!! of course there are some readers in this magnific website.
I own a MASON 33, Florence May of Cowes, currently based in the Mediterranean, in South Spain.
They are fantastic boats, really capable and the quality is superb to say the least. Mine has done two Atlantic passages and one round the world, and still looks like the first day. You can´t really compare it with average market boats. Quality is sooo superior that when a sailor compare another boat with these Mason 33´s, you feel embarrased of being so lucky owning them!!
If you just want more information about or some pictures, you can simply ask me for them or visit my website.
Congrats for your site and apologize for my English (not my native language)
Thank you for telling us about your beautiful Florence May! I took a look at your blog site, very nice indeed! I am sure the Mediterranean is a very beautiful place to sail and what a fantastic sailboat to do it on. I went to look at our boat the other day as she is on her cradle and wrapped for the winter. I am counting the days till we can launch in the spring! Your English is much better than my Spanish. Gracias por leer! Vela feliz!

Masons are an absolute dream to sail and I believe second to none. They look the way a sailboat should look like and sail even better. From when they were first built to present day it would be hard to find a better boat. I’ve sailed Masons with no reef, perfectly heeled and she performed like an absolute dream in all conditions.
