SV Lotte was extensively refitted with long-range cruising reliability and self-sufficiency as primary objectives. Her substantial fuel and water capacities, independent battery systems, solar charging capability, hydraulic anchoring system and dual self-steering options provide the redundancy and autonomy valued by offshore sailors. The proven Adams 45 hull design combines seaworthiness, load-carrying ability and comfortable passagemaking characteristics, while the cutter rig offers flexible sail configurations for a wide range of conditions. Supported by Raymarine navigation electronics and comprehensively renewed mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, Lotte is well equipped for coastal cruising, extended liveaboard use and serious offshore voyaging.

Between 2015 and 2022, Lotte underwent an extensive refit and refurbishment program centred on creating a reliable and capable offshore cruising yacht. The project commenced with a complete external sandblasting of the hull, deck, mast and boom, followed by the application of professional marine coating systems and refinishing of all external surfaces. From there, virtually every major vessel system was reviewed, renewed or upgraded, including electrical wiring, plumbing, battery management, solar charging, rigging, steering, navigation electronics and anchoring systems. The interior was also comprehensively refurbished. The result is a yacht that has benefited from substantial investment, thoughtful engineering and a commitment to long-term cruising reliability.
