From evaluating essential systems to balancing safety, comfort, and budget, this session will explain the refit journey by grounding it in practical examples and firsthand experience.​

You’ll learn how to assess your boat’s current condition, identify critical upgrades, and develop a realistic refit plan tailored to your cruising goals. Whether you’re preparing for coastal cruising or bluewater passages, this class offers tools and insights to help you refit with confidence and clarity
