New Zealand Yachts completes a year long refit on the world’s largest sailing catamaran Douce France. Every imaginable component on the sailing yacht was overhauled and brought back to near new standards. This included all mechanical items including all hotel services, engines, electrical, electronic, interior, etc. 
In March 2006 the US owner of Inevitable contacted De Vries Makkum with the request to refit his 1990 Feadship yacht Inevitable. A year before he had purchased the 51 meter yacht with the intention of rebuilding her to his own wishes. It was not his first big yacht, as he previously owned a 40 meter blue hulled Palmer Johnson yacht with the same name. 
Moonen Shipyards announced the completion of a major five-month refit of one of its original "pocket-size superyachts," the fifth Moonen 85 Moonshadow Noa (ex Moon Shadow, launched in 1991). The Moonen 85 was designed by Diana Yachts in the early 1980s, with a graceful flared bow, canoe stern, and classic superstructure. 
Officially opened in April 2007, Monaco Marine’s La Ciotat shipyard is reporting work at full capacity. Making full use of their 35 000 sqm of hard standing, Monaco Marine and their team are currently servicing no less than 9 yachts. The spring 2008 season promises to be equally successful with refit and repair work already planned for additional yachts.
