The holidays aren’t slowing the Dorade team down, and the crew at Loughborough Marine Interests in Portsmouth, R.I. is still working on the 52-foot yawl to prepare it for the 2017 season. All the yacht’s turnbuckles are getting serviced and the starboard how’s pipe has been faired and podded into the boat with epoxy. All hardware has been installed back into the butterfly hatches after varnish, and all the screw holes had to be filled and re-drilled to get a good tight fit.
