STAGE THREE OF THREE

Rebuild

Stripping a yacht takes weeks. Putting one back together takes every trade in the yard, in an order that cannot be rushed and cannot be swapped.

SCROLL
THE ORDER OF WORK
WEEK 01 CREWS ABOARD 00 / 09
01 Structure WK 01–06 Plating, frames and tank work signed off by class before anything covers it.
02 Machinery WK 04–12 Engines, gearboxes, shafts and steering back on their beds, aligned to hundredths.
03 Systems WK 08–18 Plumbing, HVAC, fire and bilge — the trades nobody photographs and everybody needs.
04 Electrical WK 10–22 New loom, switchboards and navigation, drawn as built rather than as found.
05 Insulation WK 14–20 Acoustic and thermal, fitted while the panels are still open to inspection.
06 Joinery WK 16–28 Bulkheads, soles and cabinetry, dry-fitted in the shop before they come aboard.
07 Fairing & Paint WK 20–30 Weeks of longboard before a litre of topcoat is opened. The trade that gets judged.
08 Rig & Deck WK 26–32 Rigging, hardware, tenders and davits — tuned on the water, not on the hard.
09 Commissioning WK 30–34 Every system run, every reading logged, every snag closed before she is signed for.

HOW THE YARD RUNS

Four rules, and none of them are negotiable.

01 One foreman, one hull

The same person carries her from strip to redelivery. Nobody hands your yacht over to a colleague halfway through.

02 Nothing is covered unseen

Structure, systems and wiring are inspected and photographed before a panel goes back on. The record goes into your file.

03 Snags are closed before trial

A snag list carried into the sea trial becomes a snag list carried into your season. We would rather hold the date.

04 The owner sees it weekly

A photograph-backed report every Friday, whether the week went well or badly. Especially when it went badly.

SEA TRIAL MARMARA · TWO DAYS · OWNER ABOARD

She is not finished until she has been run hard.

Two days offshore with the owner or captain aboard, every system run in anger and every figure logged against what was promised at survey. Anything that misses comes back to the yard before she is signed for.

0 KN TOP SPEED Against 21.5 kn promised at survey, at half load and clean.
0 dB(A) OWNER'S CABIN At cruise, doors closed. Nine decibels quieter than she arrived.
0 NM RANGE At 8.7 knots on a single fill, verified over two days offshore.
0 MM SHAFT RUN-OUT Within tolerance at every bearing. The vibration is gone.
REDELIVERY

You get the keys, and everything that explains them.

0 TYPICAL REBUILD
0 WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY
0 TRADES ABOARD
01

As-built drawings

Every system redrawn to what is actually aboard, not what the original yard intended forty years ago. Issued on paper and as files.

02

The work record

Photographs, class certificates, material certificates and test results, indexed by compartment and by date.

03

Manuals and spares

Every manual for every piece of equipment fitted, plus the spares list and the part numbers to reorder them.

04

Crew handover

Two days with your engineer and captain aboard, run by the people who did the work rather than a sales representative.

05

Warranty document

Twelve months on our workmanship, written in plain language, with the name and number of the person who answers the call.

AFTER SHE LEAVES

A refit that ends at the gate was never finished.

01
Twelve-month workmanship warranty On everything the yard did. Manufacturer warranties on equipment run in parallel and we administer them for you.
02
A named contact, not a ticket queue The foreman who ran your refit stays your contact. Nobody re-explains their own yacht to a stranger.
03
Winter berth and lay-up A place at Tuzla or Pendik for the off-season, with the crew who already know her looking after her.
04
Flying service, wherever she is Two engineers and a case of tools on a plane. Most warranty work is done in the owner's own marina.
05
The first-season check One visit at the end of her first season back, on us, whether or not anything has gone wrong.
REDELIVERED · AFT DECK The first season back is the one that tells you whether the work was any good.

THREE STAGES, ONE YARD

Start where every refit starts — with a survey.
