Sky‘s sails, riggings and masts have all been constructed to her original plan. The refit also included bronze end caps inscribed with “Sky 1890” on the end faces of gaffs, booms, bow and mizzen. On the other hand, modernizing this yacht involved updating technology onboard to include propulsion, radar, pumps, entertainment system and more.
