A yard's record is not what it says about itself. It is the list of hulls that left it and stayed at sea. This is ours, in the order the water took them back.
Y
A 2011 hull, twelve months from the autumn. Structure and finish taken together, with the interior drawn by Guido de Groot Design. The first entry on the register.
St Nicholas
A Ukrainian-built steel explorer of 2007, four hundred gross tonnes. A winter on the hard, a full technical refit, and back into class.
Beluga
Twelve months on a 2003 sailing yacht — and two metres added to her length while she was open.
Saadet Sultan
Thirteen months through the winter on a 1989 hull: structure, modern systems and a full re-finish. She would come back.
Belvedere
Eight winter months on a 2005 wooden-epoxy motor yacht, thirteen years after her launch. Every detail attended to, none of it hurried.
L'Aquila
Ten months over the winter on a Ginton-drawn sloop of 2005. Rig, deck and systems returned to class and redelivered.
Iceberg
A 27-metre hull of 2015 in wooden epoxy laminate, back on the hard five years after she was new.
1453 Istanbul
Six months over the winter at Pendik: structural modification, the interior rebuilt, and a new name on the transom.
Solaris
A 2014 Princess, the first of two campaigns. Deck and interior taken on one programme rather than in sequence.
Isra
Seven months through the autumn on a 2008 Sunseeker. Interior and exterior worked at the same time, by the same foremen.
Saadet Sultan
Six months, six years after the first. The same 1989 hull, and a record that picks up exactly where the last one closed.
Grand Rusalina
Sixty metres, six months over the winter, four and a half of them in dry dock. Interior, propulsion and coatings in one campaign.
Solaris
Five months in the spring: teak decks replaced and the interior modified, to drawings by Mark Berryman.
Zima
Three months on a yacht barely a year old — a spa pool in the bow, more underwater lighting, and the interior door mechanisms reworked.
Hayat
One month in the spring on a 2009 Sunseeker. The shortest stay on the register, and everything performance and safety needed inside it.
Mirabella
A 47.9-metre Trinity of 2004 taken back to bare substrate: exterior repaint, sundeck rebuilt, class survey closed — and redelivered on the date agreed at signature.
Serenity II
A 40-metre laminated-epoxy hull of 2010. Interior rebuilt in full, new AV and lighting looms, galley and crew mess reconfigured. Redelivery winter 2026.
R16
Awlgrip to bare substrate, the sundeck rebuilt around a new spa pool, tenders and davits renewed. The name is published when the owner says so. Redelivery spring 2027.
Sea Cloud
The longest hull ever taken in here: a four-masted barque of 1931. Rig unstepped and surveyed, teak lifted and relaid, propulsion and steering returned to class.
Eighteen hulls on the register, and three of them on the hard this morning.
Every hull opened, rebuilt and handed back, plus the three still in the sheds.
Grand Rusalina, 2024 — four and a half of her six months in dry dock.
Saadet Sultan, 2017 — a 1989 hull taken apart and put back together.
Grand Rusalina, Solaris, Zima and Hayat, inside twelve months.
