The Perry 60 ‘MARLIN’ underwent a thorough refit at our shipyard in 2024. Designed by Robert Perry and built in aluminium by Yachtbouw Folmer in 2008, the Perry 60 ‘MARLIN’ is a robust aft cockpit pilot saloon cutter, created for the most challenging blue water expeditions. From the icy waters of Antarctica to the tropical Pacific, MARLIN has proven her strength and versatility. After covering over 60,000 miles, her current owners entrusted us with a comprehensive refit at KM Yachtbuilders. In 2024, MARLIN emerged with an extended keel, a sandblasted hull, a fully refitted deck and mast, and updated navigation systems. We also modernized the interior with upgrades including a stainless steel countertop, new ceilings, and floors, while adding solar panels for improved energy efficiency.

Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.
