Perini Navi Sailing yacht Andromeda La Dea arrived at the Pendennis for her winter refit at the beginning of November. Superyacht Andromeda La Dea was the first Perini Navi to circumnavigate the globe, and has visited both the Antarctic and the Arctic.
The 47m (154.2ft) S/Y Andromeda La Dea boasts sophisticated and spacious living areas matched with state of the art AV systems, communication and navigation equipment. She is built for entertainment as well as exploring and has done so extensively since she was built in 1990 by Perini Navi.

Following sailing yacht Andromeda La Dea adventures, the latest programme of works to be completed at Pendennis includes some cosmetic work including replacement of some teak deck areas and a full exterior re-paint. However, the main purpose of her visit is to undergo a detailed engineering overhaul, including servicing of her tanks, props and shafts, a structural survey and full service of all major systems on board – much of which is necessary for her 20 year ABS survey.

The Captain of charter yacht Andromeda La Dea, Mac Auwers, has previous experience working alongside Pendennis as he was captain of superyacht Enterprise, a 142.4ft motor sailer also built by Perini Navi, during her refit at the yard in 2003-4. From his time based at Pendennis during this successful and swift refit Mac is aware of the yard’s extensive engineering expertise necessary for completion of the boats’ systems overhaul, due to be completed in April 2011.
One of the owners of superyacht Andromda La Dea, Charles Pinckney (Buddy) Darby III, an American entrepreneur currently involved in developing the amazing facilities at Christophe Harbour, St Kitts, was keen to work with the facility in Falmouth: “Pendennis has an impressive portfolio of refits spanning over 20 years, and the reputation for delivering high quality results. Key to the project was the reassurance that Andromeda La Dea would be ready to sail for the 2011 summer charter season. I am confident that the range of highly experienced in-house technical skills at Pendennis will enable completion of these extensive engineering works in this relatively short period.”

Christophe Harbour
A vibrant new Caribbean port of call is emerging on the Eastern Caribbean isle of St. Kitts. Christophe Harbour, set amid 2,500 acres of natural bays, bluffs, and beaches, is a dynamic resort community. The renowned team behind Christophe Harbour is led by Kiawah Partners, long distinguished for working with only the best-in-their-fields for planning, design, development, resort, sport, and spa projects. Exclusive residences are set along the beach, on the hillside and around the harbour, and exceptional amenities include a mega-yacht harbour and marina village, an 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Fazio with clubhouse and practice facilities, a fine dining restaurant and oceanfront bungalows, and a beach club. In addition, Christophe Harbour is an approved project under the real estate option of the Citizenship by Investment Program.
Pendennis
Pendennis has one of the world’s leading custom superyacht build and refit facilities. Building on hundreds of years of local maritime heritage, Pendennis has become one of Cornwall’s most important employers – with 350 highly skilled trades people based at their 6.5 acre prime water front location in Falmouth, UK. Recent infrastructure developments at the yard have seen their outer 75m dry dock completely enclosed and the addition of a 55m (L) x 17m (H) x 16m (W) covered tented space on hard standing in the centre of the yard. Both bring additional flexible undercover space for Pendennis to develop both new build and refit contracts.
