Description:

is the Association representing Owners of the Mariner Ketches31,32,35,36,40 and it's purpose is to act as reference foranyone, interested in these superb vessels.In this site we will alsocreate a 'home' for our cousins, the Tayana Mariner 36's. In1957, Clair Oberly founded Far East Yachts in Yokosuka, Japan andstarted building the Herreshoff 28. In 1960 the wooden Mariner 31 andMariner 40 were being built by Far East Yachts, along with a Sparkman Stevens 40. In1964 we also saw the introduction of thewooden hulled Mariner 35. In 1968 (with the Mariner 31) ClairOberlystarted the production of the fiberglass hulled Mariner Ketches,followed by the Mariners 32, 36 and 40. Far East Yachts built theMariners until the early-70's. The depreciation of the Japanese Yen,forced the fall of Far East Yachts and Clair Oberly moved operationsand construction to Long Beach, California under the name 'ClairYachts'. In the late 1970's and early 1980's the Tayana yardin Taiwan(through unkown sources), built a few M40's and also acquired the M36mold, hence the existence of the Tayana Mariner 36. Some are quick, tonotice the resemblance between the Mariner 32 and the Fuji 32. While inthis case the hulls of both boats were built out of the same mold, thedecks on the Fuji 32 were built based on some Alden design.TheMariner Ketches withstood the test of time, have provided safe andenjoyable means of transporting their owners all over the globe andwill still do so, for many years to come.
