The December issue of 𝘐𝘯𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘦 is our annual Refit Issue, in which we explore the intricacies of redoing older boats. This time we look at two different renovations, a 92-foot Hatteras in for mostly cosmetic work, and a 41-foot Jarrett Bay, which underwent more substantial changes, including repowering. We also have a fascinating feature about how the ancient art of gyotaku fish printing is making its way from art galleries to boat hulls, and our “Splash Report” takes a look at the latest 66-footer from North Carolina’s Winter Yachts. We profile famed fish photographer Richard Gibson too! All this and much more in the December 𝘐𝘯𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘦!
