The 120' Motor Yacht ENCORE, benefitted from a mid-life, transformational refit at Crescent Yachts' shipyard just outside of Vancouver, BC.
Beginning with a proven 1992 105' Crescent Custom Yacht that was designed by Jack Sarin, and built on a solid hull by Westport Yachts. She was transformed under the experienced eye of Naval Architect Paul Fredrickson, from a raised bridge design to the current tri-deck, sky lounge motor yacht. She passed all of her engineering goals with stability test, sea trial, fuel efficiency and motor break in tests to the satisfaction of her owner.
The transformation was completed eleven years go and she continues to present herself extraordinarily well.
A transformational refit program offers the revitalization and customization of high quality vessels that are structurally sound and have many years of safe and reliable service ahead. Crescent Custom Yachts originally built her to Bureau Veritas (BV) class standards, using a proven Westport hull design. Building on this foundation, Crescent Yachts made the following major improvements:
- New tri-deck styling and structure with elevated pilothouse, sky lounge and sun deck resulting in more interior space and more functional exterior deck space.
- Improved hull and superstructure styling makes the profile and deck design current, functional, and attractive.
- New pilothouse with reverse sheer windows and Portuguese bridge design, featuring state of the art navigational and communication electronics as well as new wing station capability. Visibility and control are excellent under all conditions.
- Brand new custom built, designer-styled interior with new woodwork, new soft goods, new galley and galley equipment, state of the art entertainment electronics, LED lighting throughout, electronic shades, and new Durante furnishings.
- Complete Alexseal paint job.
- Replacement or upgrading of ALL onboard systems and equipment, including new Hamann waste treatment and make-up air conditioning systems.
- Addition of bulbous bow and raised bulwarks for improved seakeeping as well as enlarged swim platform for better water access.
