Upgrades

In 2025, over $600,000 was invested in NAMASTE during a meticulous two-and-a-half-month yard period at Rybovich in Palm Beach, Florida, from August through November 2025.

Safety and compliance received equal attention, with LSA equipment serviced, FFE equipment and the medical kit replenished, and the life rafts overhauled. Mechanically, both generators received their two-thousand-hour service, the stabilizers were rebuilt, shafts and cutlass bearings were serviced, and dye-penetrant checks were completed on the shafts and propellers. The anchor windlass, emergency fire pump, and watermakers were all serviced, and the stern garage door was rebuilt for $140,000. Comfort systems were renewed with an AC chiller replacement, AC ducts cleaned, and the galley fridge pump repaired, while the electrical and electronics suite saw a new bridge deck aft TV installed and the galley extractor fan motor replaced. Interior refinements included a new galley/stew pantry floor, a new galley stovetop, seven new crew mattresses, new crew settee cushions and four lounge covers, teak work on the garage door, and a full clean and paint of the garage.

Running gear and stabilizers were dropped and serviced by Highseas in October 2023 for $61,183, the windlass and capstans were removed and rebuilt that same month for $50,859, and new cutlass bearings were installed. Electrical reliability was verified through battery capacity and motor isolation tests, with electrical system repairs and sea service completed in October 2023 for $14,970, and all thirty-five underwater skin valves were removed and pressure-tested by Engineered Yacht Solutions in September 2023. System upgrades continued with the freshwater tank blasted and recoated in October 2023 for $27,190 and the wastewater treatment system upgraded in October 2023 for $44,780.
