Shenandoah of Sark - Orams refit

Описание: New Zealand Finalist 2010 BI World Superyacht Awards 'Refit of the Year'

For the first time a New Zealand entry was submitted in these prestigious awards, competing against the World's leading Refit Yards. The classic superyacht 'Shenandoah of Sark' a 54m, three masted schooner was selected as a finalist.

The project was completed over a six month period by Auckland Refit Yard Orams Marine Services. Executive Director of the NZ Marine Industry Association, Peter Busfield, commented "To be judged a finalist in the World Superyacht Awards is a notable achievement. It also acknowledges the strength of the New Zealand Marine capability in this growing sector of the superyacht industry."

The following DVD footage shows Shenandoah carrying out Sea trials on Auckland's Hauraki Gulf following the completed Refit.

both during and after completion.

The refit work involved many complex challenges and there were noteworthy works on a wide range of systems and equipment.

On any given day there would be well over 50 workers involved in the project and labor alone totaled in excess of 65,000 man hours.
