Refitted, refurbished & restored - Tommaso Spadolini talks about four exciting refitting projects

From fast powerboats to timeless classic sailing and motor-yachts – also in collaboration with #petermarino, the famous New York architect.
With four decades of experience behind him, #tommasospadolini is best known for his iconic yacht designs for high profile clients such as the King of Spain or fashion designer Roberto Cavalli. But there is another side to his work which is not less challenging or rewarding: designing for refits.

“The refit market has steadily grown in importance and most years we have at least one major refit project, in addition to a lot of smaller jobs,” says the designer. “A successful refit obviously requires understanding what the owner wants. But it also involves appreciation of what the original designer was trying to achieve. More than a science, it’s an art that demands knowledge, experience and respect for the heritage of yacht #design.”

Four significant projects by #tommasospadolini, all carried out by Cantieri C.A.R.M. in Lavagna, Italy, reveal something of the art of refitting.
