“As I always say to clients who
enquire about the possibility of
owning a classic, it will be an
exciting but expensive adventure.
You need courage but together with
our vastly experienced team, the
end result will be a yacht that is
hugely admired by connoisseurs.”
master suite lounge, working period piece fireplaces, a
swimming pool, zero speed stabilizers, a spa and hammam
and even a barber’s shop.
According to Mike Carr, managing director of Pendennis,
“The refit challenge on a classic is a totally dif ferent
proposition to a contemporary yacht. Edmiston and the
shipyard have built up a rapport that makes communications
so much easier. There is a mutual understanding of what
we are trying to achieve for the Owner. Judgement and
interpretation is such a big part of the task.
On Haida, it was the parts that you couldn’t see that
were the hardest to fix but the most essential for a long-
term solution. The entire hull below the waterline had to be
removed and re-plated. That is over 118 tons of steel.
The engines are almost museum pieces but they are
magnificently efficient. Unfortunately, there are no spare
parts for yachts built in the 1930s so we had to make a new
piston and 12 new fuel injectors.”
