What’s going on around the yard
Ripple
One of the standout projects currently underway in the Big Blue Shed is Ripple, a West Solent One Design built in 1925 and owned by Brian May—managing director of Berthon and great-grandson of the yacht’s original designer. Formerly known as Dinah, she was renamed Ripple after the Grateful Dead song, symbolising both personal renewal and the continuation of a family legacy. Now undergoing a full restoration by Berthon’s apprentices, Ripple is being carefully rebuilt using a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern materials, including laminated iroko and Alaskan yellow cedar. The project provides apprentices with the rare opportunity for hands-on training aboard a classic wooden sailing yacht, delivering invaluable experience in heritage boatbuilding.
Titania
Sailing yacht Titania arrived at Berthon after spending several years ashore in the Hamble. In need of structural attention, our team began by addressing critical issues around the keel, carefully repairing cracks and working methodically through the vessel to ensure she is seaworthy. Once the essential repairs are complete, the Yacht Maintenance & Refit (YMR) team will collaborate with the owner to plan any desired upgrades and aesthetic improvements, tailoring the next phase of the project to suit their vision for the yacht.
Commercial vessels
Berthon’s commercial clients benefit from our comprehensive in-service support, as well as our tailored refit and maintenance programmes. Our contracts include organisations such as the Royal Navy, Border Force, ABP, and others.
Dry Sailors
The Berthon dry sailing service suits all small keel boats with a displacement of no more than 3.5 tonnes (includes Folkboats), a central lifting point and their own road trailer with tow hitch.
