Newbuild: S/S Suri

Suri In Marina Del Rey

Here Is a photo we shot last week while flying for news in LA. Looks like she will be heading south soon.

Might be able to do one-better on SuRi pics... a YF review goes live this weekend.

Oops.. My bad. Have more photos and will try to post or link via my friends website ASAP.

Jackpot,

Sorry..Thought I shrank it enough in photoshop...And no more hyperlinks.

Thanks for the adjustment and help.

Can't take credit for the SuRi review. Stan provided extensive information to put the feature together. His attention to detail can be seen in the editorial.

Wow! Great review, beautifull yachtescortship.

Great review of a great vessel. I also like the nice touch of adding the PP pics of the seas these hulls face in their commercial lives.

Hey Stan,

only few words: Very well done

S/S Suri

Stan,

The Suri looks great, good job. I'm curious to know at what Shipyard are you doing / did the Suri and Pacific Provider? Anyone know?

Thanx

Thank you for all of the kind comments from our YF friends.

I used two different shipyards in Seattle both located on Lake Union: Northlake Shipyard and Stabbert Maritime. Stabbert provided a fine steel work team headed by Mike Clinton.

All other trades were represented by subcontractors which, like Mike and the Stabbert welders, were managed directly by YES to assure quality, productivity and attention to detail.

Hi,

She went to NZ, underwent a substantial refit and is now out and about cruising again, not sure if she has left NZ yet as last time I spoke with the Skipper they were in Invercargill having had a blast through Fiordland.

My brother and I visited the Skipper aboard her while she was in Whangarei at the yard, it was the second time I had been aboard the previous time was when she was in Stans Yard in Seattle.

Both times the boat was undergoing a pretty major work period to put it mildly.

SuRi Redux

The Owner of SuRi, the YES vessel designed to support his 50 meter Hakvoort JeMaSa, decided that he preferred the comfort, seakeeping stability and abundance of toys on SuRi to his yacht. So, JeMaSa is for sale and SuRi enjoyed another refit. Whereas SuRi was designed with only 3 overflow guest cabins, when they got to the South Pacific; he decided to add additional guest cabins and to enclose his favorite place on board, the "Cigar Deck" located on top of the pilot house.

I have received many "what happened" inquiries, but YES had no participation in the 2nd upgrade but the original naval architect, Boris Kirilloff (www.kirilloff.com) provided the new design and engineering. The new cabins are located in the forward top half of the heli hangar. Obviously additional A/C, water making and MSD capability was required.

When the Owner is happy, everyone is happy!

is that the boat that was converted from a craber several years ago

Video review/runthrough of the latest refit... SuRi refit on Vimeo

quite intersting... a serious candidate for the rogues thread imo, but i can defintely see where function really overtakes form and the owner probably looked at himself just spending much more time and having much more fun on suri and saying "screw it" to the "pretty" yacht... I dont think the women in my family would let me do that
