Restoration of classics and rebuilds of historical yachts
Living sailing legends
Huisfit has an established track record of success with such projects, beginning with the complete rebuild of the legendary, 1934 J Class yacht, Endeavour. Structural work, repairs and conservation of the yacht’s full scope: hull conservation, sail handling, exterior, interior and board systems.
Although rebuild projects by Huisfit are never a “typical refit”, the scope of such projects is widely regarded as a newbuild, both by those involved at the shipyard and by outside observers. Thanks to the owners of historical rebuild projects, these yachts will not become forgotten history: each one will remain a living sailing legend.
