In the realm of maritime luxury, the quest to offer yacht charter guests the perfect night's sleep has become an art form, one which luxury bed and linen supplier, CC Design, has fully committed to.
On the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Issac hit the U.S. Gulf Coast where two of Trinity Yacht’s yards are based. Following landfall of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaac Trinity Yachts’ New Orleans and Mississippi yards remain intact.
The New Orleans yard was hit by a Category 1 hurricane while the Gulfport yard was hit by a tropical storm with 9’ of storm surge.
There was no damage to the Gulfport yard or to any of the yachts and other vessels under construction. The yard will return to work today, 31st August.
The New Orleans yard took a direct hit but the recently completed floodgates protected the City. Despite a storm surge of 11’, the shipyard is located inside of the new levee protection system and had approximately 18” of water come over the bulkheads, which is not a problem for the shipyard.
The only damage to the New Orleans shipyard was to some roof panels of the covered wetslip, which was not occupied at the time.
The Trinity built 164’ (50m) MIA ELISE, which was moored at the New Orleans yard for some maintenance work and modifications had no problems during the storm. The crew, led by Captain Ron Wood, did a great job preparing the yacht for the approaching storm and she suffered no damage.
The New Orleans yard will reopen on Monday 3rd September.
