ORIANA

In 1986 ORIANA was lengthened by 5' by Bradford Marine as designed by J.B. Hargrave, the yacht's original designer. The extension transformed the original cockpit to an aft deck, extended the boat deck. The original lazarette under the cockpit was transformed into a huge storage room with refrigerator and freezer. The aft deck has a fold-down set of steps to the swim platform creating the same utility as the new Euro-transoms, but with the ability to close in the aft deck with Eisenglass when needed. From the exterior, the stairs are invisible when up and all one sees is a traditional transom.
