The Mayflower 48, also recognized in international markets as the Stadel 48 or the Mariner 48, is a quintessential example of the "classic plastic" era of offshore cruising yachts. Designed by the respected American naval architect George H. Stadel III and built primarily by the May Flower Yachts yard in Taiwan between 1979 and 1984, the vessel was conceived for the rigorous demands of blue-water circumnavigation. With a limited production run of approximately 42 hulls, these yachts are distinguished by their heavy displacement, traditional lines, and the high-grade teak joinery synonymous with Taiwanese yards of that period. The model gained a reputation for being a "tank" of the seas, favored by sailors who prioritize ultimate sea-kindliness over light-air agility.
