WHITE
LIGHTNING is striking with her oyster white hull and
superstructure. The boat deck was extended to provide a fully protected
cockpit where you will find a beautiful teak table that seats 6
comfortably. As you walk around the outside of the yacht you notice the
details: no window frames, built-in bow seating, high bulworks which
provide safe walkways around the yacht. When you enter the salon from
the aft deck she feels much bigger than her 74' because the open floor
plan allows you to see all the way through the yacht to the front
windows for panoramic viewing. The beautiful teak interior is one of
only a few done in high gloss which brings out the richness of the
grain. The built in seating on the starboard side also features a large
coffee table that raises and lowers so you can eat here as well. The
flat screen TV is on a lift so it can be hidden away when not in use.
There are two comfortable chairs with a nice storage cabinet/table
across from the built in seating. The forward end of the salon features a
full bar including an ice maker and full size wine cooler. The private
stairway to the master stateroom is located in the forward starboard
corner of the salon.
The
galley is a few steps up from the salon and adjoins a large seating
area where 6-8 people can dine in comfort. The galley features the
finest appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero. The granite countertops are
stunning and there is plenty of room to work.
Heading
down the curved stairway to the staterooms, your attention is focused
on the quality of the wood, recessed hand rails, and the finish of the
teak. Forward is the VIP stateroom with a queen size bed, en-suite head
and shower. Moving aft and to port is the guest stateroom, with an
en-suite head with shower. Again the fit and finish is a work of art.
You enter the Master Stateroom from the forward end of the salon. The
king size bed is athwartship allowing the creation of a very large head
on the port side. There is a shower and bath combination and there are
two sinks widely spaced on a beautiful granite top. The stateroom has
lots of full length hanging lockers. At the aft end of the room there is
a lower nook that houses the washer and dryer and a desk area.
As you head up to the Command Bridge, either from the pilot house or by the cockpit stairway aft, you realize the size of this yacht. The command bridge is stunning with its high gloss teak interior. Aft of the helm station there is a large L shaped settee with a table. This area invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment whether underway, at anchor or dockside. There is seating for up to seven people, icemaker, sink, and a grill, plus lots of storage.
Up three steps from the salon is the galley, which is a state of the art gourmet kitchen. The very large granite countertop provides more space than will ever be needed to serve that special dinner. Custom teak cabinets and dovetailed drawers, both completely finished inside with Formica, provide large amounts of storage in the galley. For convenience and safety, just to port of the galley, is the stairway up to the command bridge, the port pilothouse door, and the electrical panels located in the aft section of the galley settee.
As
you descend down the stairs from the salon to the master stateroom you
notice the high gloss teak interior bounces the natural light provided
by 6 opening port lights creating a warm open feeling. The king size bed
is athwartship to starboard providing space for the large, full length
head to port. There is a 32-inch Sharp flat panel TV for comfortable
viewing. Full length cedar-lined closets are on the forward wall and two
chests of drawers are aft providing ample space for living aboard for
extended periods. There is a lower office/laundry area aft of the main
stateroom. A full size Asko washer and dryer are neatly tucked away
behind louvered teak doors.
The
master head in this stateroom is exceptional. The shower and both
combination countertop with twin sinks, toilet, bidet, and even a
clothes hamper are well thought out and a couple will have no problem
sharing the space. There are 3 opening port lights in the head that let
in plenty of natural light.
Entry to the engine room is from a flush hatch in the cockpit. The watertight engine room door has a window that allows you to check the engine room before opening the door. Upon entering the engine room you immediately notice the head room of more than 6 feet. This is a white engine room accented by polished stainless steel piping and engine beds and it is spotless. Every piece of equipment is like new. The twin engines are soft mounted to reduce vibration, and coupled with the Aqua Drive system further reduce vibration. The sea chest forward and between the engines provides sea water for every piece of equipment that needs it. There are no little strainer baskets to clean on this yacht.
WHITE
LIGHTNING is one of the finest examples of the Marlow Explorer. A
combined effort of Marlow Explorer staff and an experienced owner
together have created a boat that has performed above all expectations.
An excellent cruiser in all types of weather, efficiency of 1 gallon per
mile at 8 knots or cruising at 19 knots, this boat provides an
excellent comfortable, safe cruise. "White Lightning" is a beautiful
yacht and her Command Bridge and high gloss teak interior makes her
truly one of a kind.
Marlow
Yachts are limited production yachts built under constant supervision
and stringent quality control procedures. Very few products in the world
undergo the battery of tests and scrutiny designed to make your
yachting experience one of pleasure. The major vacuum bagged components
are built in only three major molds constituting a marvelous
technological advance that eliminates dozens of potential leaks and
unsightly joint areas. Resin infusion is extensively used where
appropriate. The Marlow Explorer exterior finish is among the finest on
earth and will look like fine porcelain for years to come. Marlow yachts
are designed and built to cross the oceans of the world in comfort and
safety while the proprietary Strut Keel© technology allows inland and
island cruising with fully protected running gear. Marlow Yachts are
certified by Bureau Veritas, ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), Lloyds
Register, and ISO 9001, a status enjoyed by less than a handful of
pleasure powerboat manufacturers worldwide.
