"Shakespeare's
Sister," was purchased by her current owner last spring. He
has entrusted JBY to deliver an almost completely refitted
yacht since that time. In one year JBY will have completed
the following tasks:
In Spring 2002, JBY mechanical department
replaced the main engine with a Yanmar 75hp turbo engine.
At that time the engine space insulation, running gear, and
engine driven refrigeration system were replaced as well.
New holding tanks, sanitation hoses, and heads were also fitted.
During
the Winter of 2002-03, Our Paint & Glass department
performed a complete osmosis repair to the hull, stripped
and re-coated the appendages. The bilges and mast/keel metal
framework were de-scaled and re-coated. The topsides, cabinhouse
stripe, and ancillary hardware received fresh coats of Awlgrip.
JBY Carpentry Department has replaced the teak decks, and
upgraded the deck hardware with new Harken equipment. The
joinery in the navigation station is being modified for an
extensive new electronics package supplied by Jamestown Electronics
Our Mechanical department will be upgrading and re-wiring
the 110V, 220V, 24V wiring; replacing the batteries and re-vamping
the charging systems. The stove has been replaced; the entire
propane system upgraded to current ABYC standards, the steering
cables replaced, and the Webasto heater repaired.
JBY riggers have replaced the entire rod rigging, and arranged
for modifying the spreader-ends to accept modern Navtec Tip-Cup
assemblies. A new Antal mainsail track has been fitted, the
winches serviced, the windlass and ground tackle replaced.
The Navtec hydraulic pump replaced, backstay and vang cylinders
