It was designed for the Olympic Selection Trials along with several others; two of which became the Flying Dutchman and 505 of today. Ospreys in the early days often raced with a crew of three, although with introduction of the trapeze, the optimum racing crew became two.

Beautiful Blue Water Sailing Yachts. Designer Al Mason was chosen as the naval architect of PAE's first project. Al was the natural choice for several reasons. His designs were famously beautiful, rugged and seaworthy and several boats of his design had been sold by PAE through their brokerage. Furthermore, because Al Mason had worked for John Alden in his earlier years, there was a DNA connection in design, style and beauty to the lovely Malabar VII. The first PAE/Mason design was a 43-foot sailboat. With completed design in hand, the search began for the right Taiwan builder. Through introductions, serendipity and hard work, the young men at PAE learned of Ta Shing Yacht Building. Ta Shing (which means Big New in Chinese) was founded in 1976 and the company was just completing their state of the art factory when the Mason 43 project was introduced to them. Between 1984 and 1988, PAE redesigned each of the "3" series Mason designs into the PAE/Mason 34, 44, 54 and 64. These handsome designs used the same hull but had new deck designs and interior layouts. Eighty of these "4" series PAE/Masons were produced.
