Over the past 3 years, Mira has undergone a remarkable transformation with the help of welding students. The hull was restored, spray-painted, and fitted with a new structure, including a permanent anchor and a new indentation, soon to be illuminated with lights.

Now, she’s been upgraded with modern devices and adapted to function more as a tender while preserving her classic charm. Watch her evolution from a traditional cruiser to a modern vessel! #Feadship75

At Feadship, we prioritize sustainability and are conscious of our ecological impact. We meticulously track the origins and sourcing of every material used in our yachts, allowing us to calculate emissions from both sourcing and transportation. In the rebuild of Mira, we’ve sought the most sustainable solutions, including repurposing leftover paint from a recent Feadship project for her dark blue finish. Our commitment to becoming more sustainable involves continuous effort and a shift in mindset. The small, thoughtful choices made during Mira's restoration will drive significant improvements in our future yacht-building practices. Watch how our efforts with Mira are setting the stage for a more sustainable future.

This year Feadship celebrates 75 years of maritime excellence and Mira is the perfect example of our rich heritage.

Join us in celebrating Mira’s transformation and Feadship’s legacy. Discover how her journey from the 1950s to today reflects our commitment to preserving heritage while embracing modern innovation.
