Master artisans at the Francesco Del Carlo boatyard in Viareggio spent two and a half years restoring Eilean. They salvaged as many of the yacht’s original materials as they could, and used 1930s techniques where possible to preserve her defining characteristics. Much of the hull’s Burmese teak planking was saved, the wooden steering wheel was restored and the bronze portholes reconditioned, while parts that couldn’t be reused were authentically remade. In homage to the boat’s origins, the Fife boatyard’s dragon motif was re-carved onto Eilean’s hull – a mark of the respect, care and attention to detail these master restorers poured into their work. Lastly, bespoke navigation instruments were made especially for Eilean by Panerai.
