reclaimed teak decks with a traditionally laid iroko deck that turned into an eighteen month project involving
new deck beams, cabin top & Deck House, Forward Mast Step and major
work on the hull planking. To read more about

Taking advantage of access while the deck was
off, new plastic water tanks and stainless steel fuel tanks were fitted
along with grey and black water storage systems. A new keel cooling system
for the engine was also installed.
A steel shoe was fitted around the
forefoot and along the full length of the keel.
Antares was also furnished with a new bowsprit
and was completely re-rigged with both standing and running rigging.
Having been re-launched successfully, she has
been cruising Scandinavia and the
Baltic and has recently circumnavigated Britain.
