Hello all
Been a while since the last update and it's been a busy period over the past 12 months. The Little Harbor is currently in the middle of a full
refit from the bottom up and we're excited to be seeing the finish line in sight. During the
refit we've found some questionable workmanship from prior refits and we've been able to correct anything that wasn't up to scratch. The list of
work is extensive however a brief overview is below :-
New
rigging both standing(rod) and running
New
teak deck
Fully repainted
hull and topsides
Installed stern thruster
Refurbished stainless
work
Substantial work to remediate questionable worksmanship internally
New

Upgraded

Refurbished winches
Rechromed

Refurbished

helm
Fully repainted internally - white
panels and high gloss brightwork.

Review of prior
repairs to the
hull. Port side damage which was repaired by previous shipwrights has been exposed and inspected and is as bulletproof as the original build....much photographing of this area was done. The original port side fibreglass
water tanks have been replaced with stainless
tanks....currently considering HDPE tanks but the
current tanks are still in excellent condition.
I will have missed some items but suffice to say it's been a mission. The yacht will be an apartment on the water with everything that opens and shuts and the clock will be reset for her. We are thrilled to be able to undertake this
project....the pedigree of this yacht is magnificent and we are conscious that we have a very special vessel to work on.
More to follow.
