A recent job that Marine Stainless completed was an upgrade to La Dolce Vita, a Selene 59 Classic trawler yacht.

We fitted a new Rocna 70kg and upgraded the bow roller to Heavy Duty.

Depending on the original factory specs and build-out as well as the needs of the customer, sometimes there are vital upgrades that make a world of difference to enjoyment and peace of mind when boating.

For the type of boating that La Dolce Vita will be doing the comfort of a Rocna anchor was welcome.
