Velsheda J-K7 was rebuilt
by Southampton Yacht Services Ltd in 1997
 |
Of
the ten J-Class yachts built in the 1930s, Velsheda was the second built
in Britain. Her present owner commissioned a total re-build at SYS in 1996.
Starting with the empty steel hull, a new
aluminum and teak-laid deck was fitted, together with a complete set of
mahogany deck-houses, skylights and hatches. All the new electrical
and engineering systems were based on the latest up-to-date technology.
Her interior, designed by John Munford and built to exacting standards by
SYS's skilled craftsmen, truly reflects the splendour of her era.
Since the re-build, Velsheda has returned to SYS on a number of
occasions for servicing work and upgrading of systems, including major refits in 2001 and 2002 (after the America's Cup Jubilee) and in 2005 and 2006. |
