DiDay

Motor Yachts DiDay

DIDAY was launched in 1984. She was sold to the present owner in 1993 and went immediately to Derecktor Shipyards in Mamaroneck, New York, for a refit. Bill Langen with Sparkman & Stephans drew the plans for her refit and extension. The topsides from rail to the chine from midship aft was widened with new plating. They added 10 feet to create the garage storage, night generator room, and the beautiful aft deck dining and lounging area. The interior was completely redone. She received a new GM 1292 Diesel (those were later replaced by 12V 2000's in 2001). Running gear shafts & props were extended and moved for the new designer. The new interior was redone at Derecktor's Shipyards and overseen by Orsini Design of New York. New generators (Twin Kohler 32 kw) were installed in 2001, along with the 12Volt 2000 series MTU Engines. 

• MTU 2000 Series 6,000 Hours W-6 Completed
• 2 X 32 KW Kohler Generators with 3,000 Hours
• Northern Lights 12 KW Generator with 1,300 Hours

The flybridge arch was added in the 1993-95 refit. DIDAY has spent summers at the owner's home in Martha’s Vineyard and winters in South Florida and Charleston. 

Her interior is one of the best examples of what a properly overseen refit can do for a yacht with a good pedigree.
