180-foot (55-meter) Vitters ketch Adele has completed an extensive refit by Huisfit, Royal Huisman Shipyard’s division for superyacht refit and repair.

Adele’s refit included a complete overhaul of propulsion, generators and thrusters, an upgrade of climate control systems, replacement of batteries and exchange of earlier lighting means to LEDs, an electronics upgrade, a new teak deck, and painting of the inside of the hull, repainting and varnishing of the hull, superstructures and rig.

The planning process began 18 months in advance, allowing seamless progression through the extensive work list. Adele’s captain, Andre Engblom, acted as the owner’s representative during the upgrade at Royal Huisman in Vollenhove.
