The 52 metre aluminium ketch Nazenin V has returned to home yard RMK Marine to undertake her 10 years’ survey and “extensive” refit.

She is due to arrive at the yard in October and her refit is set to last until June 2019. Work that will be carried out in the refit will include a renewal of the rigging, a full re-paint, as well as general system upgrades and joinery work.

With an interior design by Redman Whiteley Dixon, she is built from an aluminium hull and superstructure with teak decks.
She can accommodate 10 guests across five cabins, comprising an owner cabin, two double cabins and two twin cabins. A staff of eight meanwhile can housed in four crew cabins.
