CONVERSION SOLUTIONS

Huisfit offers solutions for various types of conversions:lengthening hulls, adding carbon composite or aluminium superstructures, transforming racers into yachts, replacing full interiors.

Feadship Broadwater before extensive conversion by Huisfit. The scope of work will range from various comfort and esthetical upgrades inside and out, to changes relating to classification requirements.

Major conversion of the Feadship Broadwater. Length pre-Huisfit: 52m, length post-Huisfit 2020: 56m.

New carbon composite radar mast for the major conversion of the Feadship Broadwater. From the smallest detailed accessory to the largest imaginable composite structures, Rondal has it covered.

Feadship Broadwater during major conversion by Huisfit. The main features of the Huisfit project are: a 4m / 13ft extension of the hull, including a re-styled stern; rebuild of the sundeck including a new composite mast with sun awning; interior re-styling and modifications to the Owner’s / guest areas + crew area updates; additional board systems required for a Classification change (Owner’s brief) from “private use” to “commercial use”; new teak and furniture on the main and bridge deck; painting of the superstructure and hull, based on a new color scheme

SAMURAI before Huisfit. In her original incarnation as Mari-Cha IV, she was a 43m / 139ft carbon composite schooner created expressly to re-write offshore passage records.

SAMURAI (formerly Mari-Cha IV) before Huisfit. The conversion included the removal and replacement of the canting keel and mechanism with structurally integrated lifting keel and trunking; removal and rearrangement of structural bulkheads; reinforcements of in-situ structural elements; removal of dagger boards and trunking; localised reinforcement of their hull penetrations; installation of a weight-saving interior

SAMURAI (formerly Mari-Cha IV) before Huisfit. The conversion included rearrangement of winches (existing and new), skylights added above owner’s cabin, new deck surfacing, the addition of a bathing platform; a new anchor system; overhaul and upgrade existing systems (for propulsion, electricity generation, fuel system) install new board systems (for airconditioning, fresh water, sewage, bilge, highspeed hydraulic sail handling instead of manual, alarm and monitoring, fire extinguishing, navigation, communication, entertainment)

SAMURAI (formerly Mari-Cha IV) post-Huisfit: probably the biggest carbon composite conversion of its type ever undertaken. From stripped-out speed machine to high performance luxury machine.

Before conversion by Huisfit: Acharné was launched by Royal Huisman in 1987. Returning a few years later for a major conversion by Huisfit, which included extensive refitting, a 4m / 13ft increase in length and adding a new superstructure, she departed as Diamond for Ever.
