S/Y MAYA

MAYA is a 22.5m (74 foot) Deerfoot Ketch.

She was built in aluminum for the designer of  Deerfoot Yachts by Walsteads  Shipyard in Denmark in 1987 as a bluewater cruiser par excellence. Likely the highest quality and specification Deerfoot built, she has many innovative and complex systems and a stunning interior. When I joined the yacht she was for sale, the Owner subsequently decided against selling, choosing instead to re-fit the vessel for an extended cruise. I Project Managed this re-fit.

Accomplished in the water, using sub-contractors and day labor. There was a significant cost benefit with no reduction in quality compared to using a shipyard. A Shipyard was contracted only for haul out and anti-fouling application.

This six month project included replacement of the auxiliary engine, re-design of the (very complex & extensive) hydraulic system, enhancement and renovation of plumbing and electrical systems, running and standing rigging and sails, replacement of engine room piping, extensive repainting including topsides, technical and bilge areas.

This re-fit was also achieved without disruption in an environmentally sensitive   area.
