The project.

LMI hosted Dorade's second significant US refit. Building on the earlier hull restoration, the project prepared the yacht for offshore racing, with attention to her rigs, equipment, systems and finish work.

This phase brought together LMI and a broad group of specialist contractors. It is distinct from the first US hull rebuild, which was carried out by Buzzards Bay Yacht Services and Mount Hope Boatworks at LMI.

LMI with Diversified Finishes, Bequie Crew, Mount Hope Boatworks, Buzzards Bay Yacht Services, Marty Dever, Gabe Brown, Syd Janes, James Harrison and James Thompson Marine Carpentry.
