Two major new refit projects for Royal Huisman

Published: 5 December 2011

Royal Huisman is delighted to announce two substantial refit projects for the mighty 93m schooner EOS and the 40m motor yacht Be Mine:

EOS

At 93m  / 307ft LOA, the 1500 GRT three-masted schooner EOS is the world’s largest sailing yacht. Launched by Lürssen in 2006, EOS’s active schedule over the past five years has resulted in an extensive refit work-list that includes:

• New paint job for hull, superstructure and spars
• Overhaul of deck equipment and Rondal masts
• Updates to teak deck
• Extensive service work to mechanics, board systems (including 5 year Lloyds re-certification) and air conditioning
• A range of general works and cosmetic repairs

The refit is being undertaken under cover by the huisfit team at the nearby seaport of Harlingen, whilst the spars have returned to Vollenhove for refurbishment and re-painting; the yard’s core engineering facility will be deployed for the manufacture and repair of components.

BE MINE

Another quality build from Lürssen, the 40m / 132ft motor yacht Be Mine is of steel construction with an aluminium superstructure. Launched in 1991, she is ready for some updating and re-modelling work in addition to an extensive refit programme. In addition to general repairs and cosmetics this includes:

• Paintjob of underwater body, hull and superstructure
• Construction work including updates to the sun deck, main deck and updates to the hull portholes
• Replacement of teak decks
• Service work to board systems
• Interior modifications including upgrades to the upholstery
• Updates to electronics (entertainment, navigation and communication) and to electrics

Be Mine was recently hauled at the yard in Vollenhove, with delivery scheduled for Spring 2012

A year ago Royal Huisman took the decision to broaden the scope of its already comprehensive refit capability: huisfit.

huisfit: superyacht refit, repair and renewal, re-defined by Royal Huisman.

huisfit offers access to Royal Huisman standards of custom engineering and service to deliver the highest quality superyacht refits, whether  sail or motor, classic or modern. A novel feature of the huisfit proposition is that owners and captains can select a refit location – whether at the yard or on the Dutch coastline – that best suits the project, the schedule and their individual preferences.

Recent refits include the 44m/143’ Juliet, the 33m/107’ sportfisherman Karyatis and the 36m/117’ classic motor yacht Arcadia. Very recently the 41m/134’ William Tai (ex-Surama) completed her huisfit program. A complete overview of the CURRENT PROJECTS of Royal Huisman can be found via this link.
