Restoration, refit and new build of classic and traditional sailing vessels are disciplines of their own. We accompany owners, foundations, associations and yards as independent project supervisors — with on-site build oversight, technical owner representation, interface management and an eye on safety and class requirements.
Whether a full restoration of a gaff-rigger, the refit of a flat-bottom, a topsail schooner or the new build of a traditional sailing vessel: such projects require experience with wooden, steel and mixed constructions, with classic rigs and with safety / class requirements for traditional vessels in commercial or community use.
We accompany every phase — from planning and yard selection through commissioning and sea trial.
At the yard we are the owner’s eyes and ears. We attend milestones regularly, check execution, material quality, dimensional accuracy, welds / wood joints, fittings and systems, and document status and deviations. Critical points are flagged before they "lock in".
For traditional vessels under regulated operation we bring the necessary experience and coordinate with the relevant authorities. We do not name specific certification bodies, but help set up the right interfaces early.
We speak both owner and yard language — making sure investment decisions, extras and change requests are evaluated, documented and commercially classified cleanly. For foundation and association projects we also support funding and reporting requirements.
Briefly describe vessel, project phase and yard — we propose a fitting scope.
