Macario Gracia of Monty Nautic said that "Not even we ourselves could ever have imagined that within 7 months we would be relaunching Rosalind with a completely rebuilt hull, interior layout, deck, masts and helm." The repaired keel (weighing in at 33 tons, was attached to the hull by new K-500 alloy bolts (nickel, carbon and copper) which were much stronger than the previous copper bolts. A new rudder was designed with a central opening for the propeller instead of the side opening for the engine transmission shaft. The rudder frame post and blade, are of stainless steel, the blade having been given a teak covering.
