Marflow started her life as William Garden’s ketch rig design ‘ABC’. She was built in 1982 by Shore in Canada, later renamed Ora and then Act IV.
 
Marflow is entirely re-built, a project of enormous proportions, loving commitment, and great expense, and as a result is completely new in 2006. Transformed to become a single masted sloop design with new keel configuration, computer aided operating systems and every last nut, bolt and piece of furniture renewed, she is a truly unique and historic vessel evolved to modern expectations.
