Taking an older vessel recognised for its robustness, reliability, and great navigability – ideal for both family cruises and fishing trips or recreational sailing…and creating a modern, quality and luxurious finish.
Like many early-2000s production yachts, the original interior featured heavy upholstery and beige-dominated tones. While structurally sound and well laid out, the Saloon felt visually tired and no longer aligned with modern owner expectations.
Each element of the refit was selected to modernise the space without overpowering it.
Starting with the Before’s, swipe to see the transformation.
A key decision in this refit was the preservation of the original joinery. Rather than replacing the high-quality woodwork, we refinished and rebalanced it against a lighter, softer interior palette – a choice that maintains the Rodman’s character while elevating its quality and feel.
The finished interior feels bright, calm and modern.
A SETAG refit gives years of use and enjoyment to the owners, and also delivers a substantial uplift in perceived value – positioning this Rodman competitively alongside far newer vessels on the market.
Intelligent modernisation, respect for original craftsmanship, and uncompromising attention to detail.
Rather than following trends, the focus remains on timeless design, quality execution, and results that genuinely improve the owner experience.
Alongside the interior transformation, SETAG Yachts delivered a series of comprehensive engineering and systems upgrades designed to improve reliability, usability, and long-term ownership confidence.
The refit included replacement of the onboard toilet system with new pipework throughout the vessel, enhancing performance and future-proofing critical systems. An engine-room camera was installed to provide clear monitoring from the helm, while integrated audio-visual upgrades included a concealed up/down television and Fusion sound system linked to the saloon. Feature lighting was engineered throughout, saloon air-conditioning upgraded for improved comfort, and the helm panels resprayed to restore a clean, modern finish.
The project was completed with full pick-up and delivery, providing a seamless turnkey service that removed complexity and stress for the client from start to finish.
“Thanks again for all your help. You have a fabulous product in SETAG, with so many exciting opportunities to broaden that offer further. I wish you the very best of luck and look forward to SETAG growing from strength to strength. We shall of course recommend SETAG at every opportunity to friends in the marina. “ – Rodman 41 Owner.

After our refurbishment on the left. Before on the right hand side.
The original interior felt heavy and dated, with worn fabrics and tired joinery. We stripped the Saloon & Helm area back and rebuilt into a fresh and uplifting space. We redesigned the headlining to simplify the lines, added a fresh upholstery to the old timber sidelinings and reupholstered the duckpond (above the helm).
Crisp lining upholsteries and textural woven fabrics, accented with deep navy cushions and hand stitched fluting details, creates a contemporary yet timeless look. A few elements in this redesign hark back to the yachts original styling – including two sculptural bespoke retro-inspired swivel chairs that elegantly combine leather and fabric.
The helmseat has been completely reimagined with a retro inspired design – much like the swivel chairs. This reupholster beautifully combines both leather and hand fluted fabric. Here we have retained the classic feel of the Fairline lines, but also introduced modern materials for comfort and durability.

The dated fabrics and cluttered layout were replaced with simple, functional design that stays true to the 1980s spirit but feels fresh and inviting. Practical, durable & beautiful fabrics ensure longevity while keeping that retro edge alive.
Both the Cockpit and Flybridge underwent huge changes to the upholstery. Staying true to the original design story of the boat, we have used the classic triptych of Fairline colours with a little tweak…Red, Blue and White in this case – changed to Red, Blue and an elegant Grey-Taupe colour. This combined with hand stitched flutes and considered logo placement elevates both exterior areas to anew level of comfort & luxury.
This project celebrates everything we love about yacht refits – respecting the past while creating a future-ready space. This Fairline Sedan 36 may have been built in 1986, but today she stands as a shining example of how retro can be beautifully reimagined for modern life on the water.
We brightened the entire interior, enhancing natural light with soft-toned panels and discreet lighting. The result is a yacht that feels airy, modern, and effortlessly stylish while staying authentic to her heritage.

Setag are probably the only company who can carry out all the tasks as a ‘one stop shop’.
