It has been a busy year for Solent Refit as the development of the facilities for superyachts has continued during the year. New roofs have improved ambiance inside the large working sheds, and a large 10 metre extension has been built for the horizontal slipway, capable of lifting up to 1500 tons. The extension will permit longer vessels measuring up to 60 metres in length to be slipped.

Montigne
Luxury yacht Montigne is a 57 metre (187 ft) schooner requiring a fast and cost effective refit following two busy seasons on charter to “Johnnie Walker”. She is now out of the water on the Solent Refit’s 1500 ton horizontal slipway. An intensive six week work programme is scheduled so that this yacht can depart with the minimum of delay for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, November 2013.
