New Zealand superyacht builder McMullen & Wing is proud to announce it had secured the 10-year refit of 34-metre VvS1. Built in New Zealand in 2007, superyacht VvS1 has a busy 2016 summer cruising schedule ahead before being hauled at McMullen & Wing's Auckland shipyard in April 2016 for an extensive programme of works.
Ellie Brade, spokeswoman for the company, told us: "VvS1 is a yacht to be proud of - a striking timeless design that is a credit to the vision of her designer Gregory C Marshall and of her owners Sir Michael and Lady Christine Hill. It is hard to believe that she is nearly ten years old as she has aged so well. Her luxury expedition style means that she is well suited to exploring a wide variety of anchorages, including shallower waters. VvS1 offers a lot of yacht for 34 metres - all her onboard spaces have been maximized with an emphasis on indoor - outdoor living. On board features that are particularly stand out include the teppanyaki grill on the top deck, allowing guests to enjoy fresh fish caught that day. Her owners are passionate fishers so the yacht is well equipped with all the fishing equipment you could dream of."
With the refit project being centered on survey work, work undertaken will be largely technical. Richard Low, Projects Manager at McMullen & Wing, says that the focus of the project will be the yacht's 10-year Lloyds special survey. The generators and shore power converter are also set to be replaced. Moreover, general maintenance and improvements around the yacht will be undertaken.
