Aurora B
This is Aurora B
The owners of Aurora B (launched as Aurora in 1992) have returned her to Feadship twice for major refit work in 2007 and 2017. In doing so they have ensured that a yacht which influenced many other clients with her sleek interpretation of the classic Feadship look has remained in premium condition. The first refit in 2007 covered a range of interior and exterior upgrades, an engine room overhaul and a comprehensive repaint. Ten years later Aurora B returned home for structural repairs to the main deck bulwarks, a new sewage treatment system and tanks, an AV/IT upgrade, various interior works and another new livery. Read this article from PILOT 2018 for a fascinating insight into how the classic exterior profile of Aurora has shaped the aesthetic of many a Feadship over the decades, including the thoughts of the man behind the design, Frits de Voogt.
