Anakena


The comprehensive overhaul of the propulsion system and hydraulics on the 40.28-metre Royal Huisman sailing yacht Anakena was completed in April 2008. This powerful centreboard ketch was winner of the 1996 Showboats award for ‘Best Sailing Yacht Over 36 m. Having given great pleasure to her owners, no expense was spared to bring Anakena completely up to date. The propeller shaft and propulsion installation were totally re-engineered and fitted with a highly flexible centre link between shaft and engine. Two gensets were expanded with a hydraulic pump in line with the crankshaft, which required a complete change of the hydraulic installation. Everything was removed from aft in the engine room and fixed to the generators forward. Carbon shafts were installed and the engines given new shock mounts. Other repair activities included fixing a dent in the hull, varnishing the interior and renewing the airco units and radars.
