For more than a decade, “Refit” has been presenting what its writers and editors consider to be the most interesting, the most challenging and or the most transformative refits to private yachts. In this volume we present 15 refits, rebuilds and restorations: each showcases different types of yachts, approaches, methodologies and rationales. We have revealing “before” and “during” photos from the crews and suppliers and celebrate the sometimes grueling processes that go into giving many yachts “a new lease of life”.

Plus: profiling 15 shipyards that make the hard work look easy.

Yachts featured in this book: Angel’s Share, Athena, Attessa IV, Audacia, Blue East, Christina O, Diamond A, Eleanor Allen, Miniskirt, Mirabella III, Navigator, Obsession, Polar Star, Serena, Tawnie Lynn.
