MAJOR REFITS, CUSTOM BUILDS & SMALL WORKS
MERRYMAID – MAJOR REFIT
Merrymaid, the 100 foot gaff cutter designed
by Charles Nicholson and built by Camper and
Nicholsons in 1904, had a complete rebuild
with Southampton Yacht Services finishing in
Spring 2008. Since then she has sailed
approximately 20,000 miles, been around Cape
Horn and cruised amongst the glaciers at the
Southern end of Chile. She returned to the
yard via the Panama Canal this autumn and
has had a few additional details and minor
alterations made over the last few months.
She left in mid November for the Caribbean
and is planning to cruise through the Pacific
during the winter and spring next year.
ALINDA V - MAJOR REFIT
Alinda V is a Classic Gaff Ketch designed by Alfred Mylne and built in 1934 at Alexander Stephen and Son in Glasgow as the yacht
Fiumara. She has returned from Greece where she has been for some 50 years under the same crew to have an extensive refit
including machinery systems, hull structure, deck fittings and rig. At the same time the opportunity is being taken to re-plan the
interior layout to suit the owner’s current needs.
The engine room has been scanned with a 3D model prepared by the Drawing Office. The new engine room layout has been drawn
up ready for installation of all the new machinery. The joinery is now underway, being manufactured in European Oak in a style very
similar to the original 1930’s details which were taken off the original joinery.
