Rebuild Solutions

Restoration of classics and rebuilds of historical yachts. Huisfit has an established track record of success with such projects. Structural work, repairs and conservation of the yacht’s full scope: hull conservation, sail handling, exterior, interior and board systems.

Although rebuild projects by Huisfit are never a “typical refit”, the scope of such projects is widely regarded as a newbuild, both by those involved at the shipyard and by outside observers. Thanks to the owners of historical rebuild projects, these yachts will not become forgotten history: each one will remain a living sailing legend.

Atlantide

Atlantide (1930) is ready for re-launch by Huisfit. What was originally intended as a refit of primarily cosmetic changes, turned into a two-year rebuild.

The Huisfit process brings together the exceptional infrastructure, technology and inhouse skills of Royal Huisman and sister company Rondal, with leading industry and specialists to provide a bespoke solution for every refit, rebuild and renewal project. All in one competitively tailored package.

Vagrant

Huisfit's full rebuild of this historical Herreshoff-built yacht (1913). The brief was very clear: reconstruct Vagrant’s magnificent elegance and style – inside and out – with the utmost respect and care for Vagrant’s appearance to reflect the past decades of family ownership...

At the same time, re-engineer her with the finest materials and most advanced board systems for sensible, effortless and safe operation, allowing her to cruise with a small and happy crew. In summary: Vagrant should be ready to last for another one hundred years. Learn more at this website: news > Vagrant wins "Best Rebuild" award [link]
