We were contacted in 2010 by a client who had purchased two identical hulls of fast ferries, built in 1915. Our heartbeats quickened when we first glanced over the plans. These vessels clearly had a lot of potential. For the conversion, we added accommodation on the top deck, enlarged the bridge, and added a Portuguese bridge. To further emphasise the vessels length, we extended the forecastle, added bulwarks and placed foot rails along the top deck. Changes that instantly give the profile the exclusive style that was commonly seen on extravagant yachts of that era.
