The first Northern Michigans were built of cedar planking over oak frames. The decks on this boat were re-done in Douglas fir with mahogany seats and trim. The hull is covered in fiberglass.Cockpit sole is also Douglas fir and varnished.

The deck was stripped and refinished by Irish Boat Shop in the spring of 2021 to the tune of nearly $20,000. The splash rail was removed and all the existing finish on the deck was removed, necessary repairs to the joints on the covering boards and butt joints in the deck planking were completed. The deck was finished with Awlgrip's Awlwood System which included their primer and nine additional coats of finish.

The restoration of this Marlin began back in 1971 by Dr. Jim Gunn along with a written account at the bottom of a repair list that she would be "ready to launch". At the time, the boat was a worn-out Marlin 18 (Rhodes) from the training fleet at the Little Traverse Yacht Club. By further account of Doc Gunn's family members, the Marlin became somewhat of a lawn ornament on their cottage property located in Horton Bay on Lake Charlevoix. Year after year, Doc Gunn gave her little attention as she rested winter and summer under a barrage of tarps. In early 2000's, Doc Gunn now in his early 70's, committed himself to fixing up the Marlin thus bringing her back to Grand Rapids to restore. Yet, with time catching up with him, Calvin College students were hired to help with restoration being his muscle and labor. 

It is evident that the restoration and launch of the Marlin, along with the dream of sailing her across the big lake to Green Bay, WI helped inspire Doc Gunn throughout the remainder of his life, passing in 2018 on the cusp of his 94th birthday. The current owners are dreamers as well, and in the autumn of 2018 their eyes first fell upon the Marlin, which at the time was a fiberglass over wooden hull with dilapidated deck frame, along with a menagerie of boat parts that were all entombed inside a dusty old boat garage. 

Over these past 8 or so years, the new owners have cherished the quiet sanctuary and grace this boat possesses. In Dr. Gunn's spirit, and all those who have sailed her, they have now completed their part to bring this Marlin back into light and she is now ready to launch. 

With its combination New England-style open deck configuration, and LTYC sail and rigging, the "Mari 'elle" is a true hybrid of Philip Rhodes original two distinctive design platforms intended for the Marlin 18 hull. 

The Marlin 18 is planked with 7/16" Philippine mahogany fastened to White oak frames with hot dipped galvanized screws. The stern and keel are also of White oak and the ballast is a 430 pound iron shoe bolted through a wooden fin. The decks were covered with Masonite pressed wood with the rough side up, instead of with canvas.

Haiku is a CAL 2/30 and was built in 1970 by Jensen Marine. She was modified at the factory to meet MORC race parameters. She is a mast head rig, most Cal 2/30s are fractional rigs. The mast is set back for a larger headsail. The transom is chopped off about two inches to get the boat under 30 feet, a MORC requirement. The first owner was John of Oxford, on the eastern shore of Maryland. Her original name was Windsong.

In 1972 Willard and Paul bought Haiku. They raced her until about 1989, when they won the PHRF C Region 1 High Point Championship. She then sat on land for four years. I raced with Paul on the J/30 Shaken Not Stirred. He owned and raced the J/29, Torture. He now owns the S2 9.1, Torch.

In 1994 Gordon and John bought Haiku. They kept her in Middle River, north of Baltimore. Gordon and his dad basically rebuilt the boat with new standing rigging in 2003. The engine was rebuilt about 1999. The boom was replaced and the mast step rebuilt. John completely rewired the boat. They won the PHRF C Region 1 High Point Championship in 2001.

In 2000 Gordon and Becky bought the J/30 Shaken Not Stirred and raced her in Annapolis. John and Gordon continued to race Haiku in Middle River. Under Gordon and John, Haiku won many races in the PHRF class C.

In 2005 we bought Haiku and kept her in Mill Creek, near Annapolis. That first summer, we only got her out sailing about five times. The bottom finish was a race bottom called Balto Plate, very smooth, it needed to be cleaned by a diver every week. We didn’t do that and ended up having her pulled out for four weeks and the bottom painted with a cruising bottom that required very little maintenance. We had her put up for the winter at Whitehall Marina and got a slip there for the 2006 season.

Edgewater builds its boats using a proprietary "Permagrid" stringer system — an interlocking grid of longitudinal stringers and transverse beams chemically bonded to the deck, hull, and transom, with the entire structure then injected with foam for unsinkable flotation. The hull is cored with Nidacore or Klegecell, with over eight layers of glass in the keel — resulting in a boat built to handle offshore conditions while keeping the whole family safe aboard.
