In 2019 the yacht changed hands for only the second time.

While her original interior was well configured, it was also very much of its time, with panelled interiors, dark furnishings and leather sofas. She had begun to look her age and with her owner considering the sale of the yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3089" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Miss Silver36.19m (118'9&quot;)Alloy Yachts1995">Miss Silver</a> returned to Auckland where she was due to undergo the refit. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261800/image/large-340f0ca504cd5506f9513cc09228d35b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261800"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/60" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alloy Yachts (Company)">Alloy Yachts</a>, however, had closed its doors in 2016 due to a decreased demand for large sailing yachts and the team had been disbanded. While New Zealand has its fair share of yacht owners and certainly a very large number of sub-24-metre sailing and motor yachts, few big boat facilities survived and many of the shipwrights had pivoted careers into different sectors. Through friendships with a number of Alloy yacht owners, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3089" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Miss Silver36.19m (118'9&quot;)Alloy Yachts1995">Miss Silve</a>r’s owner managed to connect with a number of the original team who’d built her back in the 1990s. He hired a shed in Auckland and brought the yacht ashore, working on the redesign with the old Alloy chief designer and unifying as many of the original team as could be found. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261793/image/large-e5912513e571bbc8d8e7a42513d07b98.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261793">“It was a brilliant experience, these guys stepping back onboard the yacht after 25 years who knew her inside and out and who had memories of working on her in their 20s and 30s,” explained the owner. “We stripped most of the original interior right out with the goal of creating a contemporary and bright aesthetic that gave her a new lease of life.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254872/image/large-38a0ef049454d04ed7f1a461b5e9a8c7.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254872">In the original design, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3089" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Miss Silver36.19m (118'9&quot;)Alloy Yachts1995">Miss Silver</a> featured a lounge at the top of the companionway but its use was negligible and awkward.
