Refurbishment Articles
Stuart Robinson, a boat enthusiast with a profound love for both sail and power-driven vessels, embarked on an ambitious venture. After selling his cherished Palm Beach GT60, he found himself yearning for a smaller craft; one which offered a combination of speed, manoeuvrability, and a level of comfort catering to his family and friends. His hunt led him to a 1997 Hinckley Picnic Boat, aptly named ‘Picnic’.
The 38.4-metre classic Feadship motor yacht Calypso, a symbol of elegance and sophistication, is once again ready to bask under the blazing sun and indulge leisure-seekers who are passionate about the serene infinity of open water. Fresh from a twelve-month, multi-million-dollar refit, the yacht is now up for sale, once again promising to make waves with her charm and class.
The yacht was constructed in aluminium and steel back in 1978 by Feadship, with the iconic De Voogt Naval Architects at the helm of her design. Over her impressive, almost half-century run, Calypso has undergone numerous refurbishment periods, particularly between 2016 and 2017, each renewing its lustre and keeping the stunning vessel sailing high.
