The aim of the restoration was to adapt her interior for charter purposes and to incorporate modern comforts as well as to ensure trouble-free operation for the years to come. About 60% of the interior is new and of the highest standards of carpentry. The boat was fitted with all new systems, wiring, tubing, pumps, engine, generators, air-conditioning etc. New masts were stepped with new rigging and sails. Since May 1997 the boat has been used for both private and charter purposes, always offsetting her running costs with the charter revenues. The first two Winters were spend in the Eastern Caribbean and the San Blas Islands, Panama and Costa Rica respectively. After that, White Heather remained in the Mediterranean all year round. The reason for this being to significantly extend the Summer season (late April to early November) and enable quiet maintenance in Winter. This scenario allowed for extended and more profitable Summer seasons and time in Winter to keep the boat in excellent condition. The machinery and rigging have always been thoroughly and professionally serviced and any malfunctioning component replaced. Because White Heather was built as an ocean cruiser she has an extremely strong structure. Her voluminous hull gives interior space and comforts that are normally not found in many (racing) classics of this size. All this gives White Heather an exclusive elegance of style, solidity and reliability. She is a classic that can be operated with the intensity of a modern boat. Moreover, the fact that her systems are all-inclusive but uncomplicated and easily accessible makes for easy maintenance at reduced cost. Since Spring 1997 the yacht has been used for both private but mainly charter operation with charter activities (€32,500 / week) increasing to up to 25 weeks per annum in the past few years.
