Ronin Begins Refit at Knight & Carver

M/Y Ronin, the 192 ft. Lurssen owned by Oracle Corporation founder/CEO Larry Ellison, has arrived at Knight & Carver YachtCenter and is now undergoing a refit project scheduled for completion by August 2005. According to Captain Steven Bates, the project’s emphasis will be on extensive audio/visual and IT upgrades, cabinet carpentry throughout all state rooms, re-caulking of the teak decks and hull paintwork. A full-time crew of Knight & Carver’s talented tradesmen has been assigned to Ronin. The most subtantial portion of the project will be completed on Knight & Carver’s 300’ drive-on dock, with haul-out at nearby Knight & Carver’s partner, Southwest Marine. Knight & Carver’s Cliff Mayo is serving as project manager.

By the time Helios completes her six-month refit January 31, the 194 ft. Oceanco will be ready for her close-up. For now, the yacht’s once-classic European styling has been stripped away, to be replaced with a far more glamorous, sexy look. “It’s going to be a floating beach house, totally chic, edgy and contemporary,” said Captain Tommy Gurr. “The owners wanted something more fitting to their lifestyle. Launched in 2001, Helios now calls the Pacific its cruising base, one reason Gurr opted for a lengthy refit at San Diego’s Knight & Carver YachtCenter.
