Historical:
Naema was inspired by the Alfred Mylne design no. 387 Panda, which was built by Camper and Nicholson, Gosport, Portsmouth in 1938.
Panda was 35.48m long on deck, with a waterline of 22.99m, beam 6.78m, draft 4.19m, and displacement of 152 long tons. Unfortunately after a long career she met her demise in 1983, after a 2-year circumnavigation. She sank while unattended. at her mooring in Martinique, because of a fire onboard that ravaged her to her waterline. She was salvaged and towed to Ft. Lauderdale Florida, where it was determined that she was to far gone, having twisted under the extreme heat of the fire. She now resides further up the coast as a reef off Pompano Beach, Florida
The new schooner Naema was built by Graafship, Bodrum Shipyard, Turkey, and delivered to her first owner in 2013 as Noelani, Hawaiian word meaning “mist of heaven.”)
Refit
Hodgdon Yachts (2014) – Noelani renamed Naema underwent a significant refit in East Boothbay in order to improve the overall reliability and functionality of this recently built vessel. Work included removing all engines, generators, mechanicals, and plumbing from the engine room, reinsulating the engine room, upsizing one of the generators, installing new plumbing, reinstalling some of the sail handling systems, and rewiring the galley and crew area.
