Deck Hull and Custom Modification Hull color is Alden Blue with a recessed gold cove stripe Insignia white boot stripe. Deckhouse is Insignia white. Nonskid surface is Seattle grey. All surfaces including the hull and spars were painted in 1998 by Alden when the current owner purchased the vessel and again in 2005 by Franklins Boatyard Waikawa New Zealand. The 2005 refit by Franklins included new ceilings and an interior top to bottom varnish. New teak decks were installed by Franklins Boatyard in 2008. The vacuum bagged epoxy bonded decks used the top available grade of Super Yacht teak. Teak cockpit seats and floor were also replaced. In 2012 a custom designed hard dodger was added by Franklins Boatyard. The extensive refit project is a testimony to the design and boat building skill of the Franklin team and their ability to transfer into reality what the owners learned in 15 years and 100,000 miles. Functional design improvements prioritizing offshore safety included modifications to running rigging control systems allowing control from the cockpit under all conditions. The redesigned cockpit utilizes three new stainless steel Anderson 48ST self-tailing winches, two five sheath Harken deck controllers and 11 Spinlock jammers to bring control of all running rigging including spectra runners into the safety of the cockpit night and day.
