Classic Mason Clipper 24′
This 1971 24′ Clipper is another ‘almost a woody’ – having a f/glass hull & wooden cabin top / interior. A friend of Rod Marler’s was contemplating buying her late last year, if her had any sense he would have 🙂 She featured on the cover of Sea Spray Magazine in 1971.
She was completely rebuilt in 2006, with a new 270hp fuel injected Volvo V8 engine & stern-leg fitted in 2010. She sits on a 2012 custom built Prescott trailer with 4 wheel disc and sensor brakes., Tows The engine had a full rebuild in 2015 and has only done 8 hours since.
With the trailer setup she is a fine example of a very user friendly classic, with I imagine a good turn of speed 😉

The interior has been changed significantly from original, wonder what happened to all the mahogany?
There was a Clipper 24 tested in Sea Spray May 1971, check Pete Miller’s Clipper facebook for more info.
