OWNERS COMMENTS:
Mariah II  is a pretty but tough boat. She has been extremely well maintained by her shipwright/carpenter owner. She has circumnavigated the world and has provided very comfortable accomodation for her present owners for over eight years. She has a very spacious feel about her and a great deal of storage space. The rigging, both standing and running has been replaced several times over the years and are all in good condition. She is currently lying in Sydney and awaiting her next adventure.
