The well-known RORC Transatlantic Race winner, S/Y Raven, is back on the water following an extensive yard period at Derecktor Fort Pierce. Led by Senior Project Manager John Resnik, the yacht received a comprehensive series of upgrades designed to enhance speed, efficiency, and overall performance.
The scope included paint and non-skid applications, interior flooring and surface upgrades, race coatings on wetted surfaces, weight reduction initiatives, including fishbowl window modifications and teak removal, as well as custom welding, fabrication, and machining, foil removal and replacement, keel operations, mast step support, and specialized carbon fiber, rigging, sail, and electrical work.
The launch marked a major milestone in the project, with the mast stepped shortly afterward as the team brought the project to completion. Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes look at the mast stepping process in our next update.
