| | période d'immobilisation en chantier naval | Explanation:
Like so much in yachting, surviving a yard period is all about relationships, according to the panelists and captains in attendance at the Triton Forum held in Ft. Lauderdale on Nov. 10.
More than 40 captains gathered for a roundtable discussion about preparing for and surviving a yard period.
And it all starts with relationships.
“You make introductions, you make yourself known,” said Capt. Guy O’Connor, one of three panelists for the forum. O’Connor has worked on new builds and refits for some of the world’s largest builders, including Lurssen, Oceanfast and Heesen. He’s also run the 200-foot M/Y Phoenix.
“You figure out the facility, the geography, the cost,” he said. “And you figure out, can they do it? Do they have the people available or will they charge you so much money to get the people that it would have been better to go someplace else?”
But some believe there’s a step even before warming up those relationships.
“The first thing is the RFP, the request for proposal,” said Capt. Dave Hole, a former yacht captain who was a project manager at Merrill Stevens in Miami until last year. Now he is general manager at Marina Mile Yachting Center in Ft. Lauderdale and was one of the panelists.

“The RFP lays out the intent, the time frame, the scope of work, the budget,” he said. “If it’s all written out, everyone’s not interpreting what you want to do.”
It’s that preparation stage that most captains agreed was the most vital part of any refit project.“You have to get it written down and get that document on the table of what everyone expects,” a captain in attendance said. “You have to get everything so it’s apples to apples.”
