Refit 2010 / 2011 - Cyrus Yachts, Antalya, Turkey

 

M/Y Whisper" was a new build that had gone wrong and needed drastic action to bring her to yacht standard. The work list included gutting and rebuilding the engine room, new propellors, modifying the steering gear, cutting off and rebuilding the swim platform and aft sections of the hull, a new redesigned galley and many other modifications.

Our goal for "M/Y Obrigado" was to upgrade various systems, complete her Lloyds classification and get her through the Australian NSCV survey so as to be able to operate as a commecial charter vessel in Australia.








 



Refit 2009 - Gold Coast City Marina, Coomera, Australia

 

"Espiritu Santo" has been very well maintained though out her life, our goals in this refit were to upgrade several systems and to utilize new techniques to improve the overall usability of the vessel. As well as the usual annual maintenance tasks. We had 10 weeks from arriving at the shipyard before the owner wished to use the yacht again.

 



Refit 2007 - Knight & Carver, San Diego, USA

 

As is normal in the life of a yacht there are refits, over the last year "Shana" has done some 10 000 miles. It has also been several years since a coat of paint and despite Ricardo's best efforts she is starting to look a little shabby so we are going to have a bit of a cosmetic refit, along with a few other maintenance tasks. We arrived in San Diego on 2nd April 2007 and immediately hauled out at Knight and Carver to begin a 3 month intensive refit.

 



Over the years I have been involved with many refits, the one thing I have learned is in order to have a successful refit one must have a detailed plan of the full scope of work to be carried out and stick to it. Prior to beginning any refit I spend several months compiling a thorough work list and investigating different options and deciding on the most effective course of action, on arrival at a shipyard I know exactly what to do and in what order. Consequently we leave the yard on time and on budget with a first class job.
