Born as Twizzle in 2005, this iconic Feadship yacht earned a World Superyacht Award in 2006 when she was new. In the past two decades, she has gone through many owners and iterations, from Drizzle to Madsummer. Her latest revival, which took place at Pendennis, and subsequent rebirth into Solace, caught the judges’ attention.
“She’s 20 years old, but you wouldn’t know it,” said one judge, who praised the refit as being sympathetic to the original design. “They’ve put it back as she was delivered, and it’s lovely.”
The refit respected and amplified the integrity of her original interior design. John Vickers and his team at Vickers Studio, who were involved in the yacht’s original build, were brought back in for the refit. Rather than reinventing her design, the refit focused on refining her understated elegance, creating a space that feels more like a home while retaining her classic charm.
