In 2005 the previous owner instructed Dorr Lemmer of Holland to carry out a full refit/rebuild of ATALANTA J. Felix Buytendijk was retained to deal with the interior design. The necessary steelworks were carried out by Werkvreugde. The technical aspects of the refit were managed by Beekman, and De Vries built the awnings. The works were carried out between 2006 and 2008 and covered the following aspects:

• Teak deck replacement.
• Mast rebuild.
• Anchor winch rebuild.
• Replacement of the bridge instrumentation area.
• Replacement upholstery.
• Renewal of galley.
• Remodeling of the dining area and saloon.
• Replacement biminis.
• Electrical wiring and systems replacement.
• Fitting of bowthruster.
• Fitting of air conditioning.
• Fitting watermaker.

This list is by no means exhaustive but does cover the main areas.

ATALANTA J returned to Dorr Lemmer in 2011 for a freshen up. Work completed includes:

• Frame in rudder compartment replaced as part of ongoing maintenance programme. A survey report is available in respect of this area.
• Humidity damage in two guest cabins rectified. This was caused by a minor deck leak which has also been solved.

ATALANTA J was built for Mr B E Ruys, a ship owner in Rotterdam, and was originally called SIROCCO. He visited Scheepwerf de Vlijt (a founding part of the Feadship organization) to see a friend’s yacht under construction and then ordered her, she was hull number 544. She was built between June 6 1957 and July 19 1958. She was the largest motor yacht launched in 1958.

She is an important part of Holland’s nautical heritage and her rebuild at Dorr Lemmer reflects and is loyal to this fact.
