Motive

• When its condition is so bad that you can look through the holes on both of the ship´s sides?

A restoration is more laborious than a new construction.

• When the entire hull is decayed and not even the paint stays on?

A restoration requires more time than a new construction.

• When the individual planks fall apart when you touch them?

A restoration is more expensive than a new construction.

• When the interiors belong in the junk yard?

A restoration is risky. One repeatedly asks the same question: do the parts still exist, or is there a craftsman still alive who can make them?

• When the wooden framework and floor timbers fall apart when you touch them?

When restoring a yacht, a lot of things are given such as the size of the yacht.

• When the supporting steel frameworks are only shadows of their former selves?

When restoring a yacht true to the original, substantial changes or modernisation are almost impossible.

• When the lead keel is only being held together by rusty bolts?

Even after restoration, an old-timer still needs more care than a plastic yacht.

• Even through the many often badly painted layers of paint, with all its cracks and scratches, the aesthetic shape of such a masterpiece is still clearly visible.

A restored yacht is a one-of-a-kind - an original with history.

An old-timer embodies the memories of our childhood, the past, happy times.

An old yacht made from exotic woods oozes warmth and cosiness, which you can touch with your hands and feel in your soul.

It is a sublime feeling to help restore an "old lady" to a splendid new life!

In gratitude, she lets the owner experience her harmonious elegance and timeless flair through her beauty and vibrancy.
