After spending some time at our yard for maintenance and upgrades, we were delighted to see the Lyonesse PZ81 back on the water looking and performing her very best ⚓️

She left us on Tuesday for the journey back to Cornwall, skippered by Thomas Lambourn. The Lyonesse safely arrived home at 6am this morning🎉

We wish Thomas and crew the best of luck for the season ahead!😊

What a privilege it was to travel to Denmark to attend the naming ceremony of our latest 9.2m Maxus Fast Cat for KDY - Royal Danish Yacht Club 🇩🇰⚓️

Built here at our workshop in Northern Ireland, the vessel, now known as Ellen, has already completed quite the journey before reaching her new home in Rungsted Harbour. It was fantastic to see her officially named and welcomed into the KDY fleet last Friday!

We would like to thank Mads for his kind words during the ceremony and to everyone at KDY for the warm welcome and hospitality we received throughout our visit 😊

As highlighted during the ceremony, Ellen’s role extends far beyond supporting sailing activities. The new vessel will also play an important part in a wide range of events and initiatives that benefit the wider community 🛥️🌊

Thank you to KDY for trusting G Smyth Boats with this project, it was an absolute pleasure! We wish the club all the best with their new boat!🎉

Boy John B.1029 returning to the water last week after some maintenance work here at our workshop🤩

Built back in 2019, it was great to welcome it back for a bit of TLC and see it looking well before heading back out on the water.

We’re always pleased to see our past builds return to the yard, and of course it’s always a pleasure catching up with Eric and Jean😊 Wishing them all the best with the season ahead!
