Captain of 1954 Feadship ISTROS on Rebuilding a Classic

By Jenna Mehdi

The 1954 classic Feadship motor yacht Istros caught the industry’s attention as she emerged from a major rebuild just last year. In possibly the most extreme example of a superyacht rebuild, Istros gives new meaning to the phrase ‘modern classic’. Retaining only the original 1954 hull and form, Istros is equipped with all-new state-of-the-art systems and an innovative, eco-friendly ethos. Now available for charter with Cecil Wright & Partners, we heard from Captain Tristan Le Brun on the remarkable experience of rebuilding Istros from the ground up…

At first glance, it is difficult to reconcile Istros ’ elegant form and exemplary modern-classic appearance with the abandoned hull towed into the Feadship yard two years earlier. ‘From a technical point of view, there is nothing left from the 50s, ’ Tristan tells us. ‘Everything is new from A to Z.’ 

Take a closer look though, and you may notice there is something different about the way Istros looks. She does not look quite like a ‘modern classic’ built today.

‘It was a big challenge to have the whole boat comply with modern safety and construction regulations,’ says Tristan. ‘ Most modern classics built to modern regulations will end up being higher, wider - bulkier, without the same elegance.’ 

And the challenge certainly paid off. As her owner put it, for guests looking to charter a truly authentic modern classic with ‘an immediate feeling of boarding a gentleman’s liner from 1954 ’, there is nothing like Istros on the market. 

But how did the project come about?

Having worked together for 11 years now, Istros is the fourth refit project taken on by owner and captain. Each project growing more ambitious than the next, Tristan tells us both men are in it for the love of engineering (the owner being an engineer by trade) and desire to be as efficient as possible on every level. 

‘We were both fascinated by some ideas that we had, that classic yachts are truly timeless and will always appeal to people with their elegance,’ Tristan says. ‘But we were also very aware that most of the classic yachts nowadays, even if they have a refit, never go far enough in the process. There is always some old equipment left on board - old piping, old wiring or insulation. ’

So when Captain Tristan was browsing the internet one afternoon while at anchor in the Bahamas and spotted Istros listed for sale at a reasonable asking price, he knew he had found their next project. 

‘I had first spotted her back in 2015 - she was berthed in Malta and left unattended and rotting. Later when I saw her for sale, I was convinced she was a Feadship - but she was advertised as De Vries Lentsch.’

Owner and captain had almost proceeded in 2014 with another project, also a classic Dutch hull, but had stopped because the stability of the boat was not compatible with the weight distribution brought on by new systems and insulation. Istros, as it turned out, would be just right. 

With a good knowledge of the complex history of the four Feadship shipyards, Captain Tristan became more and more certain the hull was Feadship-built. He did his research, checked the archives and put his case to Feadship. It was accepted. 

‘From the very beginning I had Feadship in mind for the rebuild ,’ he told us. ‘It would be a mistake to do what we did to Istros without a good brand name. I’ve seen a few “unknown” projects like that and I think they are much more difficult to market when the time comes.’

As it would turn out, Feadship was an excellent choice for the rebuild. Utilising the very best in Dutch engineering, the innovative eco-friendly systems onboard Istros would be considered remarkable even on a new build. 

A zero PPM water filter means Istros’ crew can wash the boat down with minimal to no soap, without need to dry after washdown. The benefits of this are twofold, as Istros will need much longer intervals between resprays - which is itself highly pollutant.

‘There are lots of examples of eco-friendly solutions which required some investment, but which will prove financially beneficial to us in the long run ,’ Tristan tells us. 

Another is the yacht’s diesel turbine which operates with very low emissions. Maintenance is much less frequent than on a diesel generator, Tristan says, anticipating a return in four or five years. Add to this the yacht’s intelligent heat recovery system and various onboard operations - swapping plastic for glass bottles for example - and Istros proves a match for the most sustainable of new builds. 

And Tristan’s favourite part of the experience? ‘ When I come into a marina and see the reaction of the people there. It can be a linesman or tourists walking on the docks - they stop what they are doing and get their phones out to take a picture. 

If someone working on a boat all day long stops to take a picture of another boat - that’s very rewarding to me.’

Istros will be available for charter in the West Mediterranean with Cecil Wright & Partners this upcoming season. 

The yacht has already generated significant interest even as we only just begin to come out of lockdown. Enquire now to secure your booking.

Classic motor yacht ISTROS set to join charter fleet following rebuild

• Share this on Facebook

By Editorial Team   18 August 2020

The classic 42m/138ft motor yacht ISTROS is set to join the world of private yacht charter as she nears the end of an extensive rebuild by Feadship.

The custom motor yacht was built back in 1954 by Dutch shipyard de Vries Lentsch. At the time ISTROS , meaning inspiration, was one of the largest and most advanced motor yachts on the seas. Her radar system and onboard telephone were particularly unusual.

Whilst many details are still shrouded in secrecy, Feadship has designed a vessel that retains the original heritage of ISTROS, but has transformed her into a family-oriented and child-friendly yacht ready for charter.

The Van Geet Design interiors are a blend of contemporary and vintage elements in a Scandinavian style. Elsewhere there are several nice touches that retain her classic feel, for instance a Kymeta flat satellite panel has been cleverly integrated into her chimneys, meaning there is no visible satellite dome, something that is often associated with modern yachts.

Commenting on the rebuild,  Tristan le Brun, Captain of ISTROS, stated; "The whole idea behind Istros, when we found the hull, was to create a gentleman’s yacht that combined a classic soul with modern conveniences. The owner loves technical stuff and with help from Feadship we’ve pushed it even further, because in some ways she’s actually ahead of her time, which is fantastic for a 65-year-old hull."

The rebuild of the classic yacht began in earnest in early 2018 when the superstructure was removed and hull stripped at a shipyard in Malta, before it made its way to Feadship’s Makkum shipyard last spring. Here Feadship fitted a new aluminium superstructure and made the decision to substitute one of the onboard generators with an eco-friendly micro turbine.

The use of a micro turbine perfectly suits ISTROS as a charter yacht, as it ensures no emissions, silent operation and no vibrations. ISTROS can therefore arrive in a marina and stay on generator power without disturbing neighbouring boats.

The impressive nature of the Feadship rebuild can be seen in the construction of a new engine room for the twin C18 engines, C4.4 diesel generator and Capstone DC560 gas turbine generator. These modern engines take up much less space than the two original, huge Crossley engines that weighed 18 tons each.

The whole idea behind Istros, when we found the hull, was to create a gentleman’s yacht that combined a classic soul with modern conveniences. The owner loves technical stuff and with help from Feadship we’ve pushed it even further, because in some ways she’s actually ahead of her time, which is fantastic for a 65-year-old hull. Tristan Le Brun, Captain of ISTROS

The resulting, smaller, engine room has created room on the lower deck for four staterooms aft of the engine room, and a generous crew mess, large laundry and accommodation for seven crew forward. The owner’s stateroom is forward on the main deck, with a third multipurpose lounge with bathroom on the bridge deck, that can act as an extra guest cabin when ISTROS is on charter.

With the Feadship rebuild project now nearing completion, ISTROS is expected to complete sea trials and see delivery in the coming weeks.

About Istros

Istros was originally built by Amsterdam Shipyard Ltd. G. de Vries Lentsch Jr. in 1954 and was one of the largest motoryachts built to date in the Netherlands at that time. Contemporary newspaper articles were most impressed with the luxurious outcome of a two-and-a-half-year project on behalf of the Greek shipping family Pappadakis. One journalist was awestruck by the violet-blue bathrooms, the advanced radar system and, most of all, by a white telephone which could be used to “call people anywhere in the word from wherever in the world the yacht may be.” Istros underwent a major refit in 2020, read more about her refit here.

On Board M/Y Istros with Capt. Tristan Le Brun

Cecile, a native of France, is a long-time resident of South Florida. She trained as a journalist, worked in daily newspapers, and explored other fields, including hospitality, until a chance encounter revealed a new career path as a marine journalist and later as editor of a glossy yachting magazine. She joined the BOAT family in 2013 as an editor for ShowBoats International — now BOAT International US Edition. She loves to write about design and people especially, although she has seldom encountered a topic that did not interest her. Aside from writing and editing, she co-chairs BOAT’s Design & Innovation Awards.

“I did not plan to get into yachting,” says Istros ’s captain, Tristan Le Brun, who landed the top job on an 84-foot Moonen yacht when he was 22. “I studied economics and sailed competitively. I took a break (from grad school and sailing) one summer and worked for a boat rental company,” he says. And that’s where someone from the yacht spotted him and asked him to help for a day. He made a good impression and was called back for a summer season as relief crew and by the end of that stint, he was offered the position of captain. “I was catapulted to the post without holding the certificate to become a stewardess,” he says with a grin. However, he had a graduate degree, a good head for numbers, a knack for fixing things, and a healthy dose of skepticism toward arcane maritime rules and habits. “With a rational brain, you can question just about anything,” he says.

For the better part of the past decade, he’s worked for the same family, supervising three increasingly involved refits, the last of which yielded the superb modern classic known as Istros . At 42 meters, with unmistakable classic charm and brand-new equipment — including C18 Caterpillar engines, a Capstone microturbine, flat-panel antennas, and a paperless bridge — plus a comfortable and playful interior by Van Geest Design, Istros is a rare gem.

Le Brun was scanning a database of all boats for sale globally — a hobby of his — when he came across a yacht in Malta with a bit of a mysterious history. He knew the boat. It was built in 1954 in The Netherlands, and best he could ascertain at the time, it was a Feadship. It had loads of charm, pedigree, an interesting history (although that was tangential), and it could be had for very little money.

“(Refitting) Istros was my idea initially,” says Le Brun, adding he had little trouble getting the owners who love “projects and beautiful machines” to get behind the enterprise. They kept the acquisition quiet, methodically researched all costs associated with her rebirth, and only approached yards when they had all that information in hand. Le Brun was keen on getting the work done at Feadship to preserve the pedigree. Agreeing on terms wasn’t easy, he says, but eventually, work began at the Palumbo Shipyard Malta under the supervision of a dedicated technical manager assigned by the Dutch shipyard.

Sniff around any older vessel, and you’ll have a few unwelcome surprises no matter how much homework you’ve done. The superstructure’s poor condition became obvious as they began taking things apart, but the biggest shock was the weight of the original engines, which they wanted to remove. At 18 tonnes, they represented 15 percent of the boat’s weight.

“We were not interested in keeping the old engines. They were not reversible. You had to start and stop them to go forward or back,” Le Brun says. “We wanted a modern yacht, not a museum piece.” In great part, this was due to their goals. “From the beginning, we wanted to do charter, so it had to be compliant with commercial rules and have the maximum space for comfortable cabins for guests, so there were multiple constraints.”

On the face of it, the decision to replace the engines made sense but once their true nature was revealed, the refit team ended up with an unforeseen stability issue. They’d have to add tons of ballast unless they compensated in some other way. A new superstructure, which was built in aluminum (instead of the original steel), took care of several issues at once — corroded metal and many hours of painstaking (and costly) labor. A scan was done of the old structure before the old structure was excised, and the captain decided to ship the hull to Feadship where she’d be united with a new top. That was off-plan and a trying time, he admits, but Istros was finished spectacularly, with top-of-the-line tech and a lustrous paint finish by Jotun. The paint supplier, who works in the commercial sector, was Le Brun’s choice. “Everything they do is precise and calibrated,” he says.

Among Istros ’s modern marvels is one microturbine instead of one of two generators. Feadship had been looking at the tech for a while and Istros seemed like the perfect candidate. “We don’t regret this choice. It’s a real asset for a yacht,” Le Brun says. “What’s amazing is that there is no noise and zero vibration,” he says. With the combination of a battery bank for peak shaving, it supplies clean and reliable power.

Inevitably someone will ask, why not build a brand-new yacht with a classic design? “You can’t build a new boat to look like an old one,” he says. “When you see Istros you can see it’s an older boat, because of the freeboard, the height of portholes.” And her smokestack only emits a little water vapor when the turbine starts. “We did replace a lot of the boat, but we respected its authenticity,” Le Brun says.

Captain of 1954 Feadship ISTROS on Rebuilding a Classic
