Work on Kingdom commenced following an incident at sea. The impact severely affected the entire bow section, resulting in extensive damage to both the external plating and the internal structure. A temporary on-site repair made it possible to transfer the yacht to Portosole Shipyard, where a refit programme lasting several months was initiated.
The initial phase was carried out in the port and included site preparation, area securing, and detailed planning of the subsequent shipyard operations. The team installed a complex scaffolding system and fully enclosed the bow section—an essential measure to ensure continuous, safe operations while maintaining full environmental protection. The damaged plates were removed, and the entire structure was reconstructed, restoring the yacht’s original structural integrity. The refit programme also involved interventions on the hull side.
Concurrently, the team performed routine maintenance, metal carpentry works, deck interventions, minor interior works, and a comprehensive painting cycle. Reinstating the original lines of such a historic yacht required in-depth research: archival photographs were consulted to accurately reproduce the precise shapes and proportions of the period. This process was carried out in addition to referencing the original documentation and technical drawings provided for the vessel, all of which were submitted to and approved by the Class Register (Lloyd’s) prior to execution.
Kingdom returned to sea with its aesthetic identity fully preserved and its structural reliability completely restored—the outcome of a comprehensive refit that respected both its character and its history.
