The now famous Garlington 44 Express was one of Steve French’s first design projects while Product Director at Garlington Marine, Inc in the late 1980’s. He was hands on as a loftsman and tool maker for the molds that the boats would be built from for over thirty years.
The project goal was to create a Carolina classic that utilized the lessons from the Garlington 44 and increased speed, head sea ability as well as improved response time to the cockpit action.
