Tahila – A True Beauty…Fully Restored

To compliment the traditional restoration the owner wanted the highest specification of modern technology and navigational equipment installed throughout. This equipment needed to seamlessly work alongside the traditional equipment and layout yet be aesthetically pleasing and complement the vessels originality. 

We worked closely with the owner on a long list of electrical equipment and installations including:

• A full rewire and replacement of all onboard lighting, including companionway step lights, ceiling lights, courtesy lights and deck cabin lights

• Shore power and inverter systems plus an auto functioning generator power system

• Complete water and black water system including a Diesel Eberspacher hot water heating system

• Navigational system, onboard Wi-Fi 

• Electric and manual bilge, pilot and windlass pump 

• Replacement of two new fuel tanks

• Watermaker and full air conditioning system

• Exhaust system and horn

• Complete new engine install, including two new engines, gearboxes, shafts, Kobelt throttles, automatic engine fans and a helm station

• We also replaced and installed a custom manufactured fridge, heated towel rails, a diesel oven, taps and showers, step lights, wipers, plus an Ultra anchor, chain and autopilot chain

Once completed the vessel was successfully returned back to its original beauty yet with a modern twist with the onboard technology. Tahila was then transported back from Chertsey on the River Thames where the work had been undertaken back to its home at Shamrock Quay, Southampton.

‘Tahila’ was a beautiful and classic vessel to restore and it has been a delight to be involved in bringing a vessel of historical importance back to life. I’m sure she will now provide delight for many years to come’. – Jon Bagge, Landau UK.
