Strong headway has been made with the construction of the 34.9-metre explorer yacht Project Fox at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> and she’s on course to meet her delivery date of 2023.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220718/image/large-158509db47bdb762e5a7a4bc4aff6355.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220718"> Project Fox seeks to be a trailblazer in the explorer yacht segment. She offers an interior and exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6663" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Q London (Company)">Q London</a> laid onto a hull by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V.

James Ratcliffe, Managing Partner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6663" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Q London (Company)">Q London</a>, explained that he stuck to a clean, minimalist interior design that’s flexible and easy to customise, to keep her appeal high for a wide range of potential clients. In lieu of traditional teak, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6663" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Q London (Company)">Q London</a> opted for the more sustainable substitute, designed by Tesumo.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220717/image/large-f799c97d07d211a4a2b0ff37a67c1f26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220717"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220715/image/large-6b30f54aa3d456d4505380ee7e090ed1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220715">But what makes Project Fox truly unique is that her design pivots on her 103.5 square-metre main deck aft, which boasts heaps of space for tenders, toys and all the paraphernalia necessary for adventure. When deployed, the spacious main deck is versatile and can cater to an all manner of needs. Even at just 34.9-metres, Project Fox&nbsp;is self-sufficient, meaning an owner won’t need a trailing shadow or support vessel for their excursions. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220710/image/large-cc89bd7e28b1d194d05fbefa6ae9c00e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220710"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220713/image/large-54153d4e5d1e3d1d3eb0b81b8abc34ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220713">“Experience is the new currency.

The presentation took place at the Tuscan seaside resort of Forte dei Marmi at the Forté In showroom, a company active in the world of luxury Italian furniture and a close collaborator of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a>’s.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250149/image/large-86c73a808db9f18b215a6d593fdd82a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250149">The choice of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini Design &amp; Architecture</a> for the interior styling brings additional pedigree and Italian flair to the project. Suave and sophisticated but also welcoming and family-friendly, the colour palette in the main saloon and dining room, which take advantage of the full 9.6-metre beam, is based on aquamarine and ivory soft furnishings combined with warm wood veneers, natural leathers and full-height windows for exceptional light and panoramic views. Punchy blue fabrics are used in the sky lounge on the upper deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272679/image/large-f426f340c4125f202b1dd0f4245d202c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272679">The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a> studio brought along various material samples that appear onboard the yacht and project leader Silvia Margutti pointed out the contrasting veneers comprising almond-toned oak, darker oak, teak, eucalyptus and rosewood, with both satin and glossy finishes. These are paired with soft tan leather by Foglizzo, custom wardrobe handles engineered by the shipyard, Invisible Grey, Jolie Grey, Fiore di Pesco and Ombra di Caravaggio marbles. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272678/image/large-d615976b62249d4a4aabf4ba2e1fd388.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272678">“In the bathrooms we wanted to have glass partitions that offered transparency combined with a degree or privacy, so we’ve introduced a special textured and etched glass that lets plenty of light in but you don’t feel like you’re on display,” said Margutti, who describes the overall interior style as “audacious classic.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272681/image/large-135052bf95cb26d55059a0660051b1d2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272681">In the bathrooms the taps are by Gessi and recall the Charleston era of the 1920s with a modern twist, while the shower controls, also by Gessi, have an analogue feel with ratcheted knobs and push buttons like a high-fidelity audio set-up from the 70s or 80s. The large windows not only provide panoramic views, but also highlight the palette of interior materials, textures and colours.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272680/image/large-e5559e2e724a45abd5d65058870e6eca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272680">The free-standing furniture and accessories are by a host of Italian designer labels such as Promemoria, Giorgetti, Henge, Catellani &amp; Smith, Palagi Exteta, Ceccotti Collezioni and Poltrona Frau.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272677/image/large-7a9a5d6339ce5f6f848df656445c9e89.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272677">With four guest suites on the lower deck and a VIP suite on the bridge deck, the yacht can sleep 12 guests, including the owners. The 82-square-metre master stateroom is spread across the entire beam on the main deck forward and sports a fixed balcony on the starboard side.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272676/image/large-77899b444dbfe56906a809f737eb4d9d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272676">“This is something new that wasn’t a feature of the previous platforms,” said Margutti. “It’s a very special and cosy area – perfect for enjoying a private breakfast or a cocktail at sunset away from the other guests.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250148/image/large-a3d0c1bce2f72ec39936052cb5d9a4f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250148">The muscular exterior profile of the 55-metre Steel series has been restyled by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a> to add a more contemporary touch. The changes mean that Project Venus shares only the same technical and engineering specifications with her predecessors in the series. A noteworthy addition is the “shark tooth” motif, a design feature halfway along the side of the bridge deck that lends the yacht a powerful personality. The clean and streamlined design is emphasised by having no fashion plates, so the superstructure is completely free of pillars. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272670/image/large-0dc03a623e23009456b3c49c5e9be6ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272670">The connection between the outdoor and indoor social spaces is designed to make the best of both. The sundeck is home to a Jacuzzi and a lounge area, while the beach club is a chill-out zone with a bar area and easy access to the water. Storing the yacht’s tenders on the foredeck means that this aft space is always available for use by guests without having to unload tenders and toys.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/56436" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts lays keel of 55m Steel superyacht Project Venus (2022-11-23 17:00:00 +0100)">Heesen Yachts lays keel of 55m Steel superyacht Project Venus<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272671/image/large-a040d926695bb70a0503b94dd30b5257.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272671"></a>Of course, Project Venus is for sale and a future owner is still in time to adapt the interior styling to his or her personal tastes, but in the studio’s experience these changes are usually minor: “With the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> projects we’re involved in, not much at all is changed in terms of materials. Sometimes the client will ask for some small modifications in their own space in the master suite, but generally they choose to stick with the proposed concept,” said Margutti.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204033/image/large-9437a9294c7549f5b69682263c0de605.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204033">During the event, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a> also presented his designs for the Neom complex in Saudi Arabia, one of the largest real estate projects under way in the world. The Sindalah Island resort in the Red Sea will be the first of 10 regions completed as part of the mega-development and includes a superyacht marina, yacht club, nine-hole golf course and Michelin-starred restaurants, along with high-end hotels, villas and apartments. Set to open in 2024, the project has been described as the “future of luxury travel.”

Though in an unassuming location, the yard has evolved over the decades to establish an international reputation, particularly famed for the refit and restoration of some of the world’s best known sailing and motor yachts. Among those yachts stamped with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> seal are the 65-metre schooner <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1613" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adix64.85m (212'9&quot;)Astilleros de Mallorca S.A.1984">Adix</a>, refit in 1991, the 45.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/671" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moatize45.6m (149'7&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd1999">Moatize</a>, the famous <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/548" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A247.0m (154'2&quot;)Feadship1983">A2</a> which underwent an expansive refit in 2012 and the 1933 J-Class sloop <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/251" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Velsheda39.4m (129'3&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1933">Velsheda</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/5863/image/large-86aaffeeddc021bbd522974b697943fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/5863">In 2004 the yard made a commitment to continuing the growth of their refit sector, which now accounts for around 80 percent of the work conducted, with the construction of The Terry Vernon Refit Complex, a 150-metre split dry dock. In 2014 the yard went through another phase of expansion and in 2019 they acquired a 800 tonne travel lift, further extending their capabilities. Just before the Covid-19 pandemic, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> also established a new technical service shipyard in Vilanova, just outside of Barcelona, which serves the global fleet in the Mediterranean. The initial works on the yard were completed in Autumn of 2019, resulting in a yard which spans 30,000 square-meters and is equipped with a 200 tonne and 620 travel hoist for performing repair and maintenance works.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/211135/image/large-fa04e3015de52281630abe0cf94b1f9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/211135">Joint Managing Director, Toby Allies commented “For the last 33 years the main focus of the management team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> has been to consistently deliver world class projects and outstanding customer service to our clients.

We came here for the exceptional level of expertise in traditional British yacht construction, the track record and for the people who ensure that what we want is completed to a very high standard.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/211139/image/large-7adf86342adb965e1c65c3af5863777e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/211139">The 35-metre Project Fox may have started life as a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1756" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tansu Yachts (Company)">Tansu</a>, but the team in Falmouth have worked hard to convert the vessel into a transatlantic explorer with a truly commercial draw. Raising the bulwarks and exploiting her impressive aft deck, the yacht has undergone a form of conversion to bring her up to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a>’ world-class standard. When launched in early 2023 she will sit more than comfortably alongside explorer superyachts of a much greater length.&nbsp;Powys’ impression of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> is certainly one that is shared by the team on the ground. A major cause of the aforementioned sense of heritage comes from the fact that the 400-strong workforce are all employed by the company, there are few contractors meaning that everyone on site has ties to the work conducted, helping to forge a sense of pride in the business. Another part has been nurtured by the shipyards apprenticeship programme, established in 1998, which pulls young talent from the local community into structured education and employment. Today, 30 percent of the company’s workforce is made up of current or ex-apprentices, a statistic that speaks volumes about the soul of the shipyard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/211138/image/large-8cd6fe8b26b37d5516025d1c748ea4da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/211138">Speaking to Nick Kearton, Project Manager for the restoration of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a> you really get a sense of how the cogs turn here at the shipyard. Having arrived in Falmouth in early 2019, the vessel is following in the footsteps of other impressive <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> refits, such as that of another golden age beauty, the 1937 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Malahne50.29m (164'12&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1937">Malahne</a> in 2017, which is seeing the yacht returned to bristol condition. Over the decades <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a> has been converted, added to and modernised. It has been the task of Kearton and his team to return her to her original form, a celebration of Art Deco design and one of the last surviving vessels of her lineage. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/41797/image/large-52a78b623d2f675d7c6c07a484361000.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/41797"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/23816/image/large-58b664fc87bce4a78a115716d6cbb9e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23816">A major element of a project such as this has been the research and rediscovery of her history, with the team unearthing 800 documents pertaining to her original design, archived at the Greenwich Maritime Library. London-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6360" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Muza Lab (Company)">Muza Lab</a> design studio have been instrumental in the interior finishing, which as I toured the yacht was beginning to take shape as bathroom tiles were laid under my feet. As their first yacht interior design the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6360" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Muza Lab (Company)">Muza</a> has pulled out all of the stops to adhere to the Deco originality, while employing as many artisans and craftspeople as possible to complement the interior arrangement. One exceptional example comes in the form of straw marquetry panels in the lower deck saloon, which look like finely inlaid strips of heavily varnished wood but are actually carefully selected individual blades of straw, painstakingly arranged into a pattern and sealed with varnish.&nbsp;For Kearton, it is the culture of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> that has enabled the team to come together to create a restoration on this scale. The work has been challenging at times, not least in the form of Covid-19. When the vessel was stripped down to steel more than 80 tonnes of material had to be removed, far more than anyone had predicted. The resounding success of this work however, Kearton believes, is born from the fact that the yard employs skilled professionals from every department they could need, many of whom have been at the shipyard for decades.In fact, even on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a>’s refit, there are two sets of father and son/daughter teams as well as individuals who have been at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> since the yard was founded 33 years ago. Having the work and skills in-house may be one of the reasons that the shipyard has fared the adversity of 2020 and onwards so well.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/211145/image/large-80c54b17cbfe3f8802ae4ad6bf630594.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/211145"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/211143/image/large-0f335b4aab1021758838e5b1acca85a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/211143">The longevity of the employees at the shipyard is also something you hear time and time again when speaking to people about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a>. For many owners and captains, particularly of older vessels, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> is the very best place to have a vessel refit because often there are people there who have worked on the vessel before. This fosters a great retention of clients and many come to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> for the skillsets of particular members of the team. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/211144/image/large-539856d2572aedb21fb8f71e07d57578.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/211144">As the morning on the site drew to a close, my guide Paul Griffiths showed me the areas that the shipyard will be looking to expand in coming years and even as we stood there vessels were arriving from all over the world to begin refits of various levels. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> is a hive of activity, apprentices learn how to strip and varnish great spars like those of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a>, while steel and aluminium experts set to work on the construction of Project Fox's interior arrangement. It is exciting to see the tradition of British yacht construction, which was once such a major player in the world stage, surviving strongly here in Falmouth. I very much look forward to returning to the shipyard in the Spring to see these projects come to their conclusion and I expect to see many more exciting vessels pass through here in years to come.&nbsp;This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news/superyacht-times-newspaper-issue-39" target="_blank">Issue 39 of SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.

On redelivery to the client, scheduled for later this year, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a> will sit proudly amongst the restored greats of the time period she hails from.” Her present restoration aims to revitalise her 1930s characteristics by recreating her original exterior lines through various superstructure modifications. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/195311/image/large-32e719295f30ca3a81af05f3f26c2ac0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/195311">Overcoming obstacles “We are more than 90% of the way through the structural repairs and exterior restorations, which have seen us return <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a>’s superstructure to the look of her 1930s-self. Installation of her interior has begun, and we are a long way through fitting new systems behind the scenes,” Kearton reveals. Working together with London-based interior design team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Muza Lab</a>, and lighting team, Ideaworks, the Covid-19 pandemic has hindered, but far from halted, operations. “We have embraced the communication technologies available to us and ensured progress has continued,” Kearton says. “In some cases this has even improved decision-making.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/195313/image/large-5d8a9d92b26f7ee09a0714f0839ba33c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/195313" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Despite this, the restoration project has not always been smooth sailing. “Space is always a concern,” Captain Chris Lawrence explains. “Having to replace parts of the vessel with more modern units to fit current regulations was probably the hardest part of this process.” Additional obstacles included <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a>’s outdated interior systems, which had not been altered since her last refit in the 1950s. Plus, Kearton tells us “the vessel had also seen various additions and weight gains over the years. We were very aware of the special attention that would be required to restore her stability whilst keeping the displacement as low as possible.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/195314/image/large-ddf9bd9b45d18ee6a235d73c004ba08e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/195314">Standing the test of time While challenging, the project has been a special one. “It was incredible to be one of the first people to see her original lines and shape again after years of being covered up,” Kearton says. “At that point it’s a little like looking into the past. That moment affirmed to me just how special she will be when restored.” Her exterior paint programme is underway, exterior joinery work will begin soon, and the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> is about to begin reinstalling the equipment in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/534" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marala58.83m (193'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1931">Marala</a>’s engine room, revolving around her original MAN diesel engines. When the restoration is complete, she will spend time cruising with her owner, and her captain says “hopefully she will spend some time chartering in the Mediterranean so others can enjoy her too!”&nbsp;This article was originally published in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/brexit-latest-in-superyacht-times-newspaper" target="_blank">Spring 2021 issue of The SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.
