We currently offer major refit services from our main base at Nanny Cay Marina & Boat Yard, and our satellite bases in Newport, RI and Belfast, ME. Particulars of a few of the refits we have undertaken are:
M/V Jura
2001 Nordhavn 57. B&G’s most extensive refit to date included:
- Solving persistent drive train vibration issue through installation of Aquadrive system.
- Solving persistent electrolysis issue.
- Modifications to dry exhaust stack for main engine to keep it from blowing black smoke on start-up and collecting water.
- Installation of Maretron system to monitor several systems, including the engines, bilge pumps, water flow on the shaft tube, fuel tank levels, vacuum pressure in the Racor filters, presence of any water in the fuel, exhaust temperature, and engine room temperature. This system was also tied with the Airmar sensors to monitor wind speed, barometric pressure and the vessel’s pitch and roll.
- Modifications to seating in, and adding a table to, the flybridge area.
- Commissioning an aluminum center-console AB RIB and customizing crane and davit systems to it.
- Custom interior cabinet modifications to fit owner’s intended use.
S/V Veritas
1962 Abeking & Rasmussen 57' steel ketch. Originally purchased for a small crewed charter operation, Veritas underwent an extensive makeover over the course of 4 years. The initial project list included a complete re-finishing of the interior including all soft goods, replacement of the entire electrical system including all wires and breaker panels, installation of a new generator and new electronics, replacement of the original Mercedes Benz engine with a new Volvo engine, together with all new running gear, the design and implementation of an air conditioning system and the addition of a multimedia center to the existing cabinetry. Later in the refit period, the original teak deck was carefully removed, a new plywood and epoxy sub-deck installed and the original planks re-laid.
S/V Elevtheria
1999 Freedom 40. With Elevtheria's owners interested in a general updating of their yacht, this project list included removing all riggings, fairing and painting of the carbon fiber mast, repairs and modifications to the aluminum boom, including new paint, re-wiring of the mast, install of a new water maker, refrigeration system, high output alternator and battery monitoring system with additional battery capacity and replacing the cabin sole and re-bedding all deck hardware and port lights.
M/V Time Out
1973 Hatteras 36' sportfish. Purchased in 2015 with the engines which were original to the boat, Time Out's refit was at first limited to replacing those original engines with running take outs, which resulted in an increase in speed from a cruise of 11 knots to 24! Later in the project this yacht underwent a complete re-wire, had new canvas work made and installed, the forward cabin and galley re-modeled and the interior updated.
