Some engineering projects demand more than technical expertise.
They require historical research, detective work, craftsmanship and a deep understanding of how to blend heritage with modern performance. That’s exactly what Stayinphase delivered when asked to restore the winch system aboard Blitzen—a celebrated 1938 Bermudan Sloop with an extraordinary racing history.
Curious to see how a modern engineering team approached the restoration of an 86-year-old racing yacht while preserving its character?
Exclusive Inside Look: Journal #2 takes you behind the scenes of one of Stayinphase’s most fascinating projects, alongside a closer look at another of the company’s precision-engineered products.

1.Restoring the Legendary Blitzen
Follow the remarkable story of bringing one of the world’s most beautiful classic yachts back to life.
Originally designed by Olin J. Stephens and launched in 1938, Blitzen presented an engineering puzzle unlike anything Stayinphase had tackled before. Decades of modifications, incomplete historical records and worn components meant every decision required careful investigation before a single new part could be designed.
Learn how the team combined historical authenticity with cutting-edge engineering to create a bespoke winch system worthy of the yacht’s remarkable legacy.
2.Precision Engineering Meets Heritage
Discover the painstaking process behind designing a modern winch that respects an historic vessel.
From climate-controlled measurement rooms and exhaustive component inspection to rigorous load testing and hand-built assembly, the same engineering standards developed in elite racing programmes were applied throughout the restoration.
See how modern manufacturing techniques can preserve history while dramatically improving reliability and performance.
