Northern Dream – 130’ Sovereign

Northern Dream – 130’ Sovereign

Rather than waiting for a new-build, it is possible to take an older yacht with ‘good bones’ and create your dream yacht. Updating a 20-year-old Lady Diane to become Northern Dream was a major project.

NUTMEG – 63’ NORDHAVN

NUTMEG – 63’ NORDHAVN

It was time for more than the usual ‘shave and a haircut’ – Nutmeg was hauled out into our climate-controlled facility to have the hull fully stripped of exsisting antifouling coatings. Followed by the application of Interprotect coatings and antifouling. The main, wing, and thruster propellers were prepped and treated with Propspeed.

WHITECAP Refit (2021-22)

The decision to do one upgrade sometimes demands planning another.

In the case of Whitecap, fuel tanks are located outboard of the engines, so the obvious time to replace them was as older engines were to be removed. To facilitate engine removal, the galley was dismantled to access the engine room via the salon sole.
