Dardanella

Originally built by Vitters Shipyard in 1998, Dardanella is a 36.9-metre (121 ft) exploration-type yacht designed by Vripack Naval Architects, loosely based upon traditional deep-sea, well-deck trawlers.

Dardanella arrived at Pendennis in December 2010 to commence a series of works over a four month period. These included various engineering projects including fitting new Northern Light generators and an upgrade of the switchboards. Interior and structural changes were quite significant for such a short visit: a new wet room was added to the Bridge Deck to give more flexible pilot berth accommodation alongside reconfiguration of the Ship's Office and conversion of the Owner's shower to a Steam Room.

Exterior work saw the inclusion of a Jacuzzi on the Sun Deck and the addition of an insulation screen enclosure on the aft Main Deck for more comfortable cruising experience in higher latitudes (double skinned & heated). The project was completed by a new coat of anti foul before she departed at the end of April 2011.
