Following structural work carried out in Palma that had brought serious problems and almost resulted in the owner, Martyn Meade of investment company Hadleigh Partners, writing the yacht off, the 32-metre sailing yacht Lunar Mist arrived at Solent Refit. Solent Refit’s project manager, Phil Millard, worked closely with the owner to resolve the structural issues as well as presented a programme for an intensive refit to bring the Lunar Mist superyacht back to A1 condition.

32m superyacht Lunar Mist at Solent Refit

Designed by Bill Tripp and built by Windship Trident in the United States, luxury yacht Lunar Mist has been at Solent Refit for 12 months, completing a comprehensive engineering and internal refit, rig overhaul and a high-quality hull respray. She is now ready to be moved on the transverse rail system to the horizontal slipway, where she will be slipped and the mast will be re-stepped.

After a series of sail trials in the Solent, the project will be signed off and the Lunar Mist yacht will start her new world cruising programme.
