The Dorade yacht is an icon in the racing world: its victories and innovative design have left an indelible mark on sailing history. Built in 1930 by brothers Olin and Rod Stephens, Dorade revolutionized the sailing world with its cutting-edge design.
Its first victory in the 1931 transatlantic race catapulted it into legend, proving that a well-designed boat could compete with the best. Every detail of the model reflects the elegance and precision of this unique yacht.
Dorade's success was not just the result of the Stephens' talent, but also of the technological innovations they introduced. The famous ventilated cowling system, designed to keep the boat's interior dry during storms, is just one of the elements that made Dorade unique.
This yacht not only won numerous races, but also set new standards for the design and construction of racing boats, influencing generations of designers and sailors.
Dorade's history is rich with epic adventures and exciting competitions. From victories in the rough waters of the Fastnet to the conquest of the Bermuda race, Dorade has repeatedly demonstrated its superiority and endurance.
Every race won added a new chapter to its legend, making sailors and sailing enthusiasts around the world dream. Seemingly slender and fragile, Dorade was described by The Times as "the most prodigious small ocean racing yacht ever built."
Dorade is not just a racing yacht, but a symbol of innovation and success in the sailing world. Even today, it continues to participate in races, demonstrating that its timeless design is as competitive now as it was in the 1930s.
