La Cattiva
Marine Results completed a milestone rig refit to the 122ft (38m) luxury cruising superyacht La Cattiva. The contract was completed from start to finish in 121 days, as predicted, and the rig was built in 14 weeks
The Ed Dubois design, originally Taramba, was the first superyacht to be built at Pendennis shipyard. Her rig has been completely replaced in a far reaching turn-key package, project managed by Marine Results. Following a survey a full rig replacement went ahead, to include deck gear, winches, hydraulics, running rigging, and new sails - a job of industrial proportions for a sailing yacht of this size.
