SMS launches MY Alicia after a major three year restoration
Wednesday, August 15th, 2018
Written by: Marine Industry News
“The Southampton headquartered ship repairer and marine engineering services provider, SMS , has today launched the Classic Superyacht MY Alicia from its covered 60m dry dock in the heart of the City. The business, born, thanks to the inspired vision of the owner, from the scale of the MY Alicia restoration project, is now uniquely placed in the UK restoration, refit and repair market.”
SMS, has developed an enviable reputation as specialists in ship repair, marine engineering and major fabrication projects in the commercial marine, defence and Superyachts sectors. In addition the business has a proven pedigree for major yacht refits and classic yacht restorations. In recent years the co. has completed refits for Sir Charles Dunstone on MY Shemara, Lord Sugar on MY Lady A and now on MY Alicia for another distinguished British owner.
Peter Morton, the CEO of The SMS Group comments: “Today’s launch is a major positive milestone in another huge refit project for The SMS Group, all our colleagues and all our suppliers. It’s big, big news. As a company we are genuinely thrilled to have had the inspiration and support of another truly exceptional British businessman; and whilst the project has been challenging the end result is simply outstanding. MY Alicia is unquestionably beautiful.”
Mr Morton goes on to say: “MY Alicia, MY Shemara and MY Lady A were all managed by SMS in a totally transparent and honest way – working directly with the owner. This ensures the very best value for money and complete control of the project; owners are therefore, masters of their own destiny, which is so very important to all those involved. In this case it was the owner’s vision that has inspired the growth and creation of a business as opposed to just another project; we’re extremely grateful and look forward to very many future successful projects.”

Peter concludes: “I’d like to take this opportunity to formally thank our supply chain here in Southampton and further afield. We wouldn’t be able to complete such significant and bespoke projects without the likes of Canark Marine , Design Unlimited , SEC Marine , WRS and others, to include our own sister companies Yacht Tec and Global Services. . It’s been a team effort from the outset and both myself and the owner are extremely grateful and very, very proud; the project has seen the best of British design, innovation and engineering and we now look forward to a successful period of trials pre-handover.”
With regards to working with the SMS team the owner of MY Alicia comments: “The team and management have been superb to work with from day one. They’ve demonstrated flexibility, focus and commitment – and a real eye for the detail. I’m humbled by the energy and enthusiasm from the guys on the tools. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more engaging, team. Refitting Alicia in the UK was the right call and it has been an absolute delight; the end result will be something that we can all be very proud of – she’s fantastic, she’s British – and she’s truly unique. For many years to come she’ll be a big part of our family.”
MY Alicia is a 50m Classic Motor Yacht; she was built in the United States of America by Defoe in 1930 and launched as MY Janidore (the ex RS Eden). She was one of eight yachts to be built by the East Coast yard. In 2015 she arrived in Southampton to begin an extensive period of restoration works intended to return her to the splendour of the 1930s.
Chris Norman, the MD of SMS comments: “Having worked in the refit industry both here in the UK and in Holland, for many, many years I can safely say this project has been nothing short of huge. We practically rebuilt MY Shemara from the keel up, and we, as a project team, assumed that would be a one off. Not so. MY Alicia has proven to be an equally challenging program of works over a three year period. The owners aspirations stem from the vessels true form as MY Janidore; his attention to detail and passion have helped not only lead an inspired team but also restore a truly unique and genuinely wonderful Classic to her former glory.”
In talking detail he goes on to say: “This particular project has seen major structural works and the complete rebuild of the yacht and its systems in support of the program of works. We built a new hull from the aft machinery bulkhead forward, some 34m, and a completely new aluminium superstructure in partnership with our sister company, Wight Shipyard , coming in at circa 25T. All the principle trades are in-house at SMS so this turn-key solution helped with the structural engineering, the mechanical design and install, the electrical and hydraulic design and install and the outfit. We’ve our own interior and exterior outfitters, our own painters and our own commissioning team. It’s a total service solution at SMS so having all the trades pulling together has been hugely beneficial.”
Chris concludes: “We’ve had to be very innovative in the installations too – we’ve managed to install an equipment package suited to a 1000T vessel into a 400T one; a tremendous amount of thought has gone into the machinery space, pipe verticals (due to limited headroom) and the ships tank configuration. It’s been a challenge that we’re proud to have overcome.
“Thankfully the owner has been passionately ‘hands on’ both operationally and commercially; he’s been a real big part of not only the project but also the business. By working in a genuinely transparent and honest fashion we’ve not only built a beautiful yacht we’ve also created a wonderful business. It’s been an honour to work with the owner, a real honour.”
MY Alicia will undertake her commissioning and sea trials in and around the Solent before leaving the Ocean Quay yard for the Mediterranean were she will then join over 300 of the world’s most beautiful modern and classic yachts for the 20 th Les Voiles de Saint Tropez in September.

SMS LAUNCHES MY ALICIA AFTER A MAJOR THREE YEAR RESTORATION

SMS completes three-year restoration of classic 50m superyacht
M/y 'alicia' will now undergo a period of sea trials for two weeks before heading to st. tropez….
SMS Group, the British engineering and refit specialist, has announced that 50m M/Y Alicia has officially been launched following a three-year restoration project at its Southampton shipyard. Having now completed three iconic superyacht refits, SMS now finds itself being recognised as a key facility for classic yacht restoration.
Originally built by the US shipyard Defoe Shipbuilding Company in 1930, the owner had one very clear objective for M/Y Alicia ; to retain her heritage and restore the yacht to her original design – with the addition of modern technologies.
“It was really a restoration project from the keel up,” says director, Nicholas Warren, “The owner fell in love with the original boat, which was originally M/Y Janidore and wanted to retain the classic traditional design of the boat.
“Throughout the vessel’s history she’s had good and bad refits, good conversions and bad ones, but what was absolutely key to the owner is that she was reinvigorated along the lines of the original vessel,” continues Warren. “So, all of the effort and energy went into ensuring that the boat that is on the water today, while it ticks the aspirations in terms of interior layout and the focus on his family, stays true to the original as much as possible.”
On such an extensive project, one might be forgiven for thinking that a new build would be more appropriate route to take. However, in this case, it was down to the owner’s fondness for the original 1930s vessel that played a vital role in the decision to redevelop the original vessel.
“The owner has a genuine passion for the history of the vessel,” Warren explains. “While he could easily have taken a picture of the vessel and gone to a shipyard and asked them to build it, the owner had a desire to keep as much of the original boat as possible, while ensuring that their investment is secure for the future. So, the effort and energy that goes through the ship’s systems, from the propulsion to the air conditioning is in effect modern, but he wants to retain as much of the original heritage and tradition as is possible.”
“The launch is a major positive milestone in another huge refit project for the SMS Group, all our colleagues and all our suppliers,” - Peter Morton, CEO of the SMS Group.
During the build, SMS and the owner recycled as many of the materials from the original build as possible. But, when these materials were unsalvageable, the owner externally sourced materials from the 1930s in order to maintain the authentic appearance of the vessel.
“The launch is a major positive milestone in another huge refit project for the SMS Group, all our colleagues and all our suppliers,” says Peter Morton, CEO of the SMS Group. “It’s big, big news. As a company we are genuinely thrilled to have had the inspiration and support of another truly exceptional British businessman; and whilst the project has been challenging, the end result is simply outstanding. M/Y Alicia is unquestionably beautiful”.
The owner played a vital role in the success of the project and comments of his delight of the work done by SMS. “Refitting Alicia in the UK was the right call and it has been an absolute delight,” comments the owner. “The end result will be something that we can all be very proud of - she’s fantastic, she’s British - and she’s truly unique. For many years to come she’ll be a big part of our family”.
Now that the yacht has officially been launched and sits outside of the yard, the mast and rig will be fitted to the vessel, along with some final exterior outfitting. Alicia will then undergo the trials and commissioning period for two weeks before heading to St. Tropez in time for the classic regatta at the end of September.
Following on from this significant project, SMS have more work in the. “We have a couple of very big projects happening in the commercial space at the moment, we’re looking at a work boat and a very large pontoon and with the superyachts we are looking at another classic to come in behind Alicia. In the interim we are actually carrying out another refit and restoration programme for the owner of Alicia on an old Thames barge,” concludes Warren.

RELAUNCHED WITH CJR STERNGEAR PACKAGE: The classic superyacht MY Alicia
CJR Propulsion is delighted to have been involved in one of the UK’s most extensive superyacht refits, supplying a complete propulsion and sterngear package for the superyacht MY Alicia.
The 50-metre vessel is a true classic, having been built in the USA in 1930 and launched as MY Janidore (the ex RS Eden). The luxury vessel’s exterior design and engineering were the work of John H. Wells, and she was one of only eight yachts to be built by the East Coast yard at its Bay City facility.
Over the decades following her launch, she travelled the world before being sold and renamed MY Alicia . Most recently, in 2015, she arrived at the Southampton yard of superyacht repair and refit specialist SMS, and began an extensive three-year programme to restore her to her original 1930’s splendour.
An ambitious project from day one, MY Alicia required extensive structural works, and even the rebuilding of large sections of the yacht and its systems. SMS was responsible for building an entirely new hull, from the aft machinery bulkhead forward, covering some 34 m, and a completely new aluminium superstructure, in partnership with its sister company, and CJR customer, Wight Shipyard.
Discussing the project, Alex Stevens, Sales manager for CJR Propulsion commented: “Our whole team were genuinely proud to be involved with the refit and restoration of this stunning classic superyacht. Featuring our five-blade, 60” diameter Nautica Propellers, and all the related sterngear, the restored Alicia is now ready for the next stage in her life and another generation on the water.
SMS has developed a strong reputation for major yacht refits and classic yacht restorations. In recent years, the company has completed refits for Sir Charles Dunstone’s MY Shemara, and Lord Alan Sugar’s MY Lady A, and is known for its commitment to working with the quality suppliers, as Peter Morton, the CEO of The SMS Group explains:
“I’d like to take this opportunity to formally thank our supply chain here in Southampton and further afield. We wouldn’t be able to complete such significant and bespoke projects without them.”

One of Britain's richest men spotted on his 1930s superyacht in Devon

One of Britain's richest men has been spotted in his newly refurbished 1930's super-yacht - named after his daughter who was tragically killed.
Ian Wace, 55, who has a net worth of £505m, was spotted on board the Alicia, previously known as the Janidore.
The multi-millionaire hedge-fund manager has recently taken back the vintage vessel after it underwent a three-year refurbishment.
It was released following a christening ceremony where it was re-named in honour of Mr Wace's daughter Alicia, who died in a car crash aged 11 months alongside his son Guy, four, and wife Joanna, 34.
Images showed him getting off the vessel after it docked in Dartmouth, Devon.
The 50-metre classic yacht emerged following a major refit at the Southampton Marine yard after work began in 2015.
The ship's systems were rebuilt and the yacht underwent "major structural works".
The yard said that Alicia, which was originally launched in the 1930s as one of the eight yachts to be built by US yard Defoe, had been restored to 'the splendour of her era'.
Alicia is the third iconic super-yacht refit for the yard following Sir Charles Dunstone’s Shemara and Lord Sugar’s Lady A.
Mr Wace's boat also bears more than a passing similarity to James Dyson's 250ft Nahlin. In 2010 it also emerged from a lengthy refit and was pictured pulling in to the same Devon port.
The Nahlin, once owned by newly succeeded King Edward VIII was built in 1930 and boasted six guest staterooms with en-suite bathrooms, a special ladies' sitting room, a gym and a library.
The ship found fame when the royal chose to take his married lover Wallis Simpson on an extended cruise around Eastern Europe.
Mr Wace has now followed in James Dyson's footsteps and has had his own 1930s motor yacht professionally restored and birthed in the same port.
Mr Wace is the chief executive officer, chief risk officer, and founding partner of London's Marshall Wace hedge fund.
He became a successful businessman after witnessing the haunting death of his first wife and their two young children.
Speaking in 2011 Wace said: "The motivating force of my life was the accident.
"It's no use avoiding it - it's the elephant in the room. Something terrible happened to people very dear to me.
"It is what it is, I can't undo it. But a positive force did emerge, in Ark, and I'm happy to be part of that."
Peter Morton, the CEO of The SMS Group, described the yacht as “unquestionably beautiful” and said the launch was “a major positive milestone in another huge refit project.
He said: “The project has seen the best of British design, innovation and engineering and we now look forward to a successful period of trials pre-handover."
“Today’s launch is a major positive milestone in another huge refit project for The SMS Group, all our colleagues and all our suppliers.
"It’s big, big news.
"As a company, we are genuinely thrilled to have had the inspiration and support of another truly exceptional British businessman; and whilst the project has been challenging the end result is simply outstanding.
"MY Alicia is unquestionably beautiful.
“MY Alicia, MY Shemara and MY Lady A were all managed by SMS in a totally transparent and honest way – working directly with the owner.
"This ensures the very best value for money and complete control of the project; owners are therefore, masters of their own destiny, which is so very important to all those involved.
"In this case, it was the owner’s vision that has inspired the growth and creation of a business as opposed to just another project; we’re extremely grateful and look forward to very many future successful projects.”
The christening of MY Alicia was caught on camera by Jacek Prawdzik, who also shared many pictures of the boat on social media.
On deck two other boats can be seen, one a motorboat and the other by sail, and a tender is located towards the front of the vessel.
As per tradition, a bottle of champagne was broken on the hull - although it took a few attempts for the bottle to its target. There was also a well-stocked bar at the event.
Alicia is now expected to head for the Mediterranean and join modern and classic yachts for the 20th Les Voiles de Saint Tropez in September.

The best recently completed superyacht refits
The 50 metre classic Defoe superyacht Alicia has finally finished her mammoth three-year renovation at the Southampton refit yard SMS. Alicia was treated to a completely new aluminium superstructure while a new hull has been rebuilt from the steel of her previous hull. A number of other major structural works also took place. Alicia is now expected to show off her new look at the 20th Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, joining 300 of the world’s most beautiful modern and classic yachts at the event in September.
More about this yacht
Espadarte emerged from her major refit at the Lusben shipyard in Italy after having her deck restored, full paint job and new interior. The refit of the 49.8 metre classic superyacht, which was overseen by Ocean Technical, also included the fitting of excessive steel replacements and a completely rebuilt mast.
The 72 metre Feadship superyacht Utopia is already on her way to the Mediterranean after completing her third refit at her home yard. The 10 week refit saw the yacht’s cabin walls, mast and foredeck repainted and underwater ship blasted. A new AF system was applied, and a number of technical enhancements and refurbishments were made in relation to Lloyd’s 15-year-survey. A number of technical systems were also upgraded in the engine room to enable Utopia to spend longer periods cruising.
The 52 metre Benetti yacht My Falcon has emerged from its major refit at Turkish yard Bilgin as a fully-fledged “party yacht”. Key work included the installation of lighting, speakers, lasers, steam units and a DJ cabin to enable the transformation of the sun deck into a private night club. Meanwhile the Kuwaiti owner also opted to upgrade the seating areas with glowing fabric to “enliven the atmosphere during night” and replaced the old Jacuzzi with one surrounded with glass walls.
Not so much a refit as an upgrade. Elon Musk’s rocket recovery Mr Steven’s was kitted out with extended catching arms and an upgraded net measuring 3,700 square metres. The 62 metre vessel was pictured during sea trials in preparation for SpaceX’s July satellite launch but due to “inclement weather”, Mr Steven was still unable to snare a falling rocket fairing in her massive net.
