It has been a busy time at the Ft. Lauderdale-based yacht repair facility Bradford Marine, with two of the late Jon Bannenberg-designed Feadships just completed: motor yacht The Highlander, as well as the Lion Wind yacht. Bannenberg designed some of the world’s most outstanding vessels, such as mega yacht Rising Sun, Limitless, Lucky Blue (ex Gail), The One (ex Carinthia VI), Kingdom 5KR (ex Nabila) and plenty of the Oceanfasts.

Bradford Marine has just completed several refits at the yard, including a 151′ Benetti, a 155′ Christensen, a 130′ San Lorenzo, a 151′ Feadship, and a 115′ Benetti, just to mention a few.
Bradford Marine also welcomes A.D. Copeland to its Ft. Lauderdale yard. A.D. joined the company in February as one of their Project Managers. He has a long career in the yachting industry. Jimmy Floyd from Bradford Marine first met him when he joined the 140′ Feadship superyacht Masquerade of Sole (ex Limitless) in 1987 as a deckhand and then moved on to the first officer position. Since then, A.D. has served as Captain of several yachts with longevity on all. His last command was a 20-year stint on a 103′ Oceanfast through three different owners.
