Lydia Yachts was started by John and Lydia Biggie in 1968 in Oakland Park FL. After building only two yachts, they moved the business to a larger site, in Stuart and sold it. It closed in 1993, although some Lydia managers and clients kept it going through about 2002. The yard was at 272 N.W. Flagler Drive in Stuart: see the site from the air on Google here.
