During the third step, one capital final stage is to put in place the plastic that will #protect the #yacht from the elements and sea gulls.
The third step; once the #yacht is in its #cradle and the hull is clean, is the construction of the #scaffolding. As always, time is limited and a lot is demanded of the team in charge, who very often have to fight against the elements. More info: https://www.skyocean.eu/scaffolding/
The second step is to #secure the #yacht in the #cradles where it will be located during the time stipulated for the development of the #refit and quickly proceed to the #cleaning of the hull with pressurised water.
The first, and very delicate, step is to proceed with the haul out of the #yacht to be #refitted.
It is always a tense moment when the yacht begins to ascend with the travel lift #slings tightened, and it is essential that the slings are positioned correctly to avoid damage to the hull and sides of the yacht, this is why it is important that the divers work beforehand for the correct positioning of the wooden blocks.

When it comes to a yacht refit project, what is essential for a successful completion is a good planning prior to the start of the works in order to be able to detect where delays may occur.
If the plans and specifications are detailed, clear, and without significant errors or omissions, the project is much more likely to be on time and within budget.
The eight months we spent on the complete restoration of this #yacht were a real #engineering challenge, avoiding mistakes and going through each phase of the project was our main objective.
Good management of refit and repair will ensure the safe and secure operational capability of your yacht.
