Designed in 1929 Dorade was one of Olin Stephens' earlier designs at number 7. She was built for $28,000 and proved to be very successful. She won the Transat from Newport to Plymouth(17 days, 1 hour, 14 mins) in 1931 and then went onto win the Fastnet later in the same year. In 1932 she won the Newport-Bermuda Race and won the Fastnet again in 1933. She was restored in 1996 at 'Cantiere Navale dell' Argentario' in Italy, and since has become a regular on the Mediterranean classic regatta circuit enjoying races against her sister S&S yawls, Stormy Weather and Cometa.
Dorade was extensively renovated in 2006/2007 at Buzzards Bay Yacht Services in Newport, RI. Work included mizzen mast repair, removal of the interior, reframing(35 pairs of frames), new floor timbers, 10 new planks per side and many other details.
