The 41-metre explorer Lady Jade (ex. Fortrus and Catalonian Spirit) has completed a nine-month refit at Lusben’s repair yard in Viareggio, Italy.
Built by Inace Yachts in 2008, Lady Jade’s refit encompassed a complete repaint, a metalwork modification on the ceiling of the sundeck and the aft section of the hull and a new layout and décor for her Stefano Pastrovich interior.
Refit work at Lusben included a structural modification to the aft section of the hull, where the quarter boards have been reduced in size to give the aft cockpit a more open feel. The ceiling on the flybridge was also extended in length by a metre, providing better shade in the outdoor bar and dining area. The update of the exterior decks follows on from a major six-metre extension completed at the Alia Yachts shipyard in May 2018.
Exterior work also included a repaint to return the hull from white to its original blue colour alongside the installation of underwater lights along its length for a “more distinctive personality.”
The full-beam owner’s cabin, located forward on the main deck, the four guest cabins and the VIP cabin on the lower deck have also undergone renovations. The refreshed, contemporary interiors feature black lacquer and dark wood panelling alongside all-new furnishings, creating an “elegant but cosy setting,” according to Lusben.
The announcement follows the completion of another major Lusben refit, the 52-metre, Benetti-built Solafide last month.
