The full beam crew quarters are aft of the engine room and feature a double bunk, night stand and hanging lockers. The crew has their own head with shower. There is a separate entrance in the cockpit so the crew does not need to enter the salon to access their quarters. There is also a hatch that provides access while at sea.

The engine room has full standing headroom, access to every piece of equipment and machinery. It is accessed through a watertight door with a viewing port. All cables are neatly bundled, valves clearly labeled, plumbing color coded, gauges at eye level and plenty of light to work make this an ideal "boys toy room".

The sea chest is at the forward end of the engine room and provides sea water to the engines, generator, air-conditioning, and all the other items on the yacht that need sea water for cooling. Each item has it's own shut-off valve for servicing. The two 900 gallon fuel tanks are just in front of the forward engine room bulkhead. This is the center of buoyancy of the yacht so your running angle will not change as your fuel level changes. The fuel tanks also provide an additional layer of soundproofing between the engines and the cabins forward.

This yacht is constructed with the most modern materials and techniques providing more strength with less weight than possible with conventional technology. The use of Kevlar, modified epoxy resins, and high density core materials allows the Marlow Explorer to be stronger than the heaviest of hulls at a fraction of the weight. Modern honeycomb and structural foam is used on every counter, cabinet and sole in the yacht. Even if speed is not a driving factor for you, the increased range and reduced fuel costs will be of great benefit.

Graceful Spirit is a stellar example of  Marlow quality.  She has been professionally maintained from her inception with an open check book. She has been serviced regularly since new.

Over the last four years, due to the desire of the current owners to keep her in mint condition, Graceful Spirit has undergone extensive preventive maintenance and improvements. An extensive list is available upon request.
