Excellence Of Dart

Excellence Of Dart was lifted at Darthaven for various works to be carried out by each of our service departments. When she arrived her dark blue hull was showing signs of UV damage after a number of seasons spent abroad in the sun. Following the works being completed, she was relaunched looking shinier than ever after receiving our Silver Treatment polishing package, as well as being protected with 3M marine ultra wax.
