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.
