The 86 Yacht.
Passion creates evolution
Call now to find out more about the new 86 Yacht or visit us
at The London Boat Show 4th to 12th January 2014.
Ahh, the joys of January. The grey
London skies roll overhead and the
holiday hangover throbs stubbornly
behind the eyes. This time last year
I wrote of predictions and
resolutions, and this year,
somewhat self-aware at the twist of
irony, I am sticking to them: I have
made no resolutions. But this is also
a time of year for sweeping out the
old and heralding the new, of
embracing – or at least trying to shake the hand of – a new
tomorrow. ‘Prediction,’ the eminent Danish scientist Niels
Bohr once said, ‘is very difficult, especially if it’s about the
future.’ He was a wise man, was Bohr.
However, that hasn’t stopped us at BI HQ taking a cheeky
look into the future and in this issue you will find a
celebration of some of the new concepts and projects that
are rolling off the drawing boards of design offices around
the world. From modern interpretations of explorer yachts to
sleek, classic café racers, and from the more conventional
to the more unusual, they demonstrate that the superyacht
industry is always striving for something new and exciting.
Evidence can be found in the yachts we are featuring in
this issue – from the J Class-inspired cruiser Tempus Fugit
(a wonderful blend of old and new) to the 50 metre
Proteksan Turquoise Ileria, the 60 metre Perini Navi
Seahawk, and the 42 metre Sofia from Moonen, which even
carries its own three-man sub. Each is an example of yards
pushing forward while embracing their past.

Meanwhile, for the more adventurous among you, epically
wonderful is perhaps the best way to describe the six-
years-and-counting voyage of the Royal Huisman-built
yacht Metolius. It started almost unplanned when, at the
2007 St Barths Bucket, owner and crew decided to escape
the Caribbean/Mediterranean milk run and head to Alaska.
They had no idea what their future plans would be, but their
experiences and subsequent travels make for compelling
reading – and a compelling argument for the joys of
superyachting and the avoidance of too much forethought.
The future, then, is always unknown, but always
inevitable. So what of bringing in the new for me, and for
what the future holds? ‘The difference between the saint
and the sinner,’ remarked Oscar Wilde, ‘is that every saint
has a past, and every sinner has a future.’ Am I more
sinner than saint? Ask me next January, and we’ll see.
Bohr was right. Prediction is so difficult, especially where
the future is concerned…
The new designs demonstrate that our industry is always striving for
something new and exciting

When I first went
aboard Tempus Fugit
at the Cannes Regates
Royales, I wondered
how I would find her
among the bevvy of
classic beauties. But
it was easy: I just had
to look for the crowd
gathered on the quay
who had stopped to
ogle and snap photos
of her varnished
mahogany hull,
which gleamed in the
sunlight. Even among
esteemed company,
Tempus Fugit holds
her own.

It was a pleasure to be
the first journalist on
board Sofia, the largest
Moonen so far. But I had
even more fun talking
to the people involved.
Interior designer Frank
Pieterse’s office is an
extraordinary place
to visit, while Moonen
managing director
Emile Bilterijst’s story
about how Sofia ended
up with a three-seater
sub, instead of two, is
pure entertainment.

The cigar chomping
multi-millionaire deal-
maker is a popular
stereotype.
Unfortunately, most
of the successful
entrepreneurs that fit
the other qualifications
now eschew the cigar,
perhaps because of
its stereotypical
associations. By
reputation, Peter de
Savary is not one of
those people, and
I’m glad to say that
I wasn’t disappointed
when I finally met him
face to face for lunch
– cigar in hand.

I have never yet stayed
in a five-star hotel in
Central Asia, but after
visiting Proteksan’s
new 50.4m Ileria
I believe the interior of
such a hotel must be
like hers. The general
atmosphere, the
artworks meticulously
chosen, those rug-
inspired motifs that
recur on the doors
and on the bedside
panelling – all help
create an image of
opulence and
relaxation, whose
added value is the
sea all around.

Why bother match
racing at four knots
when the America’s
Cup demands you
race at 40? I asked
the Italians from Luna

as they adapted to
such a change at
the Monsoon Cup in
Malaysia. Meanwhile,
what to make of Iain
Murray’s job change,
from gamekeeper to
poacher? And which
other big names will
follow the ‘big fella’
to the Challenger on
Hamilton Island?

Seahawk, the new
Perini 60m ketch, is
here to change the
perception that Perini
Navi yachts are big,
blue and, frankly,
a bit slow. With her
gunmetal grey hull and
red standing rigging
she is a standout and
I was lucky to see her
swoop around the
action at the Perini Navi
Cup. With new captive
reel winches and a
long lean hull she is
the shape of Perinis to
come. There was no
better context to see
her in than a regatta.

Tahiti
11.09.09A simple seascape, you might at first think: until you realise that the toy-like outline to the bottom-left is the 119 metre superyacht A. Normally the biggest boat around, A is dwarfed here by Tahiti’s solitary majesty. French photographer Julien Girardot, then working in the area, was having a day off (with camera) when he recognised A’s distinctive Philippe Starck-designed bow as she navigated the wide ocean channel between the islands of Moorea and Tahiti.

The 56.4m sailing yacht Mondango 3 has been launched by
New Zealand builder Alloy Yachts.
The flybridge ketch was built for a repeat client and is the
successor to 51.7m sailing yacht Mondango, launched by the yard
in 2008. Like her predecessor, the new yacht is Lloyd’s registered,
built in aluminium and designed by the same combination of
studios: Reymond Langton worked closely with the owners to
create the interior, while Dubois Naval Architecture & Yacht Design
is responsible for the naval architecture and exterior styling.
Mondango 3 features a development of the latter’s swing lift
centreboard, which, with a 4m draught, will allow the yacht into
shallow lagoons and waterways. There’s also an aft deck spa pool,
a cockpit protected by sliding glass side-screens and curved glass
doors, and a swim platform that unfolds from the starboard
topsides. The yacht has a Southern Spars carbon mast and boom,
with sails by North Sails, and in case of light winds, she is powered
by a single 1,450hp Caterpillar C-32 engine. Other technical
equipment includes bow and stern TRAC thrusters and twin
Northern Lights generators. Raphael Montigneaux

Designers update classic Feadship style Brokerage house Edmiston has brought together a selection
of top designers to pen modern interpretations of a classic Feadship
gentleman’s yacht, as part of the collaborative project Andromeda.
‘Andromeda has been created in the true spirit of the traditional
Feadship motor yacht. Classic in style but with the features and systems
of a Feadship for 2016,’ says Arthur Van Berge Henegouwen, founder of
the Feadship Heritage Fleet. ‘Our brief has been all about Feadship
heritage – the gentleman’s cruising yacht brought up to date.’
Eidsgaard Design, Claydon Reeves and Adam Lay Studio followed this
direction to create initial designs aimed at a range of potential clients,
who would still be able personalise them. Parameters comprised basic
specifications – a 67m steel displacement yacht with a range of 5,000
miles, a top speed of 16 knots and a volume of between 1,500GT and
2,000GT – and lifestyle requests from Rob Shepherd, a broker for
Edmiston. ‘I thought carefully about a wish list from
what I’ve learnt over the last 10 years, both working on
large yachts and as a charter and sales broker,’ he
says. This included a large pool, a beach club, a gym
with views, seven cabins with a flexible plan, a helipad,
safety features for young and old, and large windows.
Claydon Reeves’ exterior design, ‘Embraces classic
styling with the most modern shipbuilding
technology,’ says Dimitris Hadjidimos, a partner
at the studio. It features a rounded stern, long
overhangs, a classic ship-style funnel and full height
windows in the upper and main saloons.
Eidsgaard Design aimed at ‘majestic’ styling. ‘Our vision includes high
ceilings and a regal appearance disguising state-of-the-art onboard
systems,’ says Peder Eidsgaard, creative director of Eidsgaard Design.
Adam Lay Studio stayed true to the look of a traditional Feadship.
‘Fitting these virtues into contemporary yacht technology is a matter of
long elegant lines and subtle superstructure curves,’ says Lay. The
designer also penned an interior (below) inspired by an English country
mansion, with, he says, ‘Walnut panelling, parquet floors, antique
furniture and details like a richly veined marble-top bar in the [upper
saloon].’ Feadship took on the water-level amenities itself, penning
a float-in tender dock that becomes a seawater swimming pool when
the boat is out, and a glass ceiling over the beach club.

The restored Virgin Atlantic Challenger II has been reunited with
Richard Branson and its original crew, for a voyage in memory of its
record-breaking Atlantic crossing 27 years ago.The 22m planing boat (in-build, below), which beat the record
dominated by Atlantic liners for 100 years, left Plymouth in the UK for the
nostalgic voyage down the Cornish coast to Fowey and back. Headed by
Branson, the original crew comprised Steve Ridgway, now just-retired as
head of Virgin Atlantic airline, myself – a fast-boat navigator who acted
as both navigator and weatherman – and renowned sailor Chay Blyth.
German engineer Eckie Rastig had looked after the MTU diesels and
Peter McCann from the BBC filmed the 1986 event for posterity. Chris
Witty was the director who helped keep the project on track. These men,
less Blyth, boarded the restored boat in Plymouth. ‘What a thrill be to be
back on board after all these years’, said Branson. ‘It feels just the same
as it did when we left New York, but without the tension of that departure.’
Back then, as the grey dawn broke over New York Harbour, our
memories had flashed back to when, just a year before in 1985, we had
set out on the same voyage. That attempt to set a new record across the
3,000 miles of Atlantic Ocean ended in us sinking just 130 miles from
the finish line. That had been the toughest voyage of my life, three days
of constant movement and pain, and now here we were back for more
punishment, trying the same thing again.
The Atlantic is the toughest of adversaries and on that first attempt
we were ignorant of just how difficult it would be. On this second
attempt the physical scars had healed but the mental ones were still
there and now as we climbed aboard in New York Harbour they were
coming painfully to the surface. I was so apprehensive I felt physically
sick, but there was a job to do and we had committed to getting it done.
All we had to do was cross those miles of treacherous ocean in less that
three days and 12 hours, the time taken by the liner SS United States.
Record-breaking Virgin Atlantic crew reunite

There was drama and despair all the way on that journey. Just outside
New York Harbour we nearly collided with a whale. Then we had to cross
the Nantucket Shoals, 50 miles of uncharted sandbanks, on a route that
then took us north to Cape Race in Newfoundland and into Iceberg Alley.
Here we dodged the bergs that sweep down from the Arctic. Nearby, on
the Grand Banks, a refuelling ship loomed out of the morning fog and
after little more than an hour we had fired up the engines and were ready
to head east, on schedule for glory.
Then the MTU diesels faltered and stopped. They were started again
and then stopped once more. Rastig leapt into the engine room and came
up with filters full of water instead of fuel. Further investigation showed
that we had taken four tonnes of fuel on board and eight tonnes of water
– a mix-up on board the refuelling ship – and the water was getting to the
engines. We had to drain the fuel tanks twice and refill them before we
got mainly clean fuel coming through. Suddenly our hopes of glory turned
to gloom. It looked like our race was run and the best option would be to
hobble back and maybe try again later in the year.
But the weather had other plans. Coming up behind us was a huge
storm that we would have to face if we headed back. The only option was
to keep going, but with a 10-hour delay the chances of winning the
record were minimal. The MTUs would run intermittently, stopping
perhaps every half hour as more water came through the system, but
worse still we were running out of fuel filters. Then the Royal Air Force
came to the rescue and dropped a canister of new filters by parachute.
We made our mid-Atlantic refuelling from an Irish Naval Service ship.
I did the sums while we were refuelling and yes, we could still make the
Bishop Rock Lighthouse in time for the record if we kept the pressure on.
I will remember that night for a long time. Picture a 22m boat powering
along in the pitch black night and every now and then flying completely out
of the water as a bigger wave than average came along. Suddenly it would
go quiet as the engines automatically cut out and you knew that there was
going to be an almighty crash when the boat re-entered the water. That
was the longest night I have ever spent at sea. All you could do was live for
the next wave and not think any further ahead.
The engineers were the heroes of that night. Steve Lawes, who was
the Virgin man on the Grand Banks refuelling ship, had stayed on board
when we left, to help with the filter changes. Between them, Lawes and
Rastig sat in the engine room constantly monitoring the fuel filters and
changing them when necessary to keep the engines running.
In the final 20 miles to the lighthouse we were hit by a thunderstorm.
The intense rain of the storm was blanking out the radar and visibility
through the windows was down to a mile or so. Here we were after 3,000
miles of punishing ocean, racing towards the rocks of the Isles of Scilly at
50 knots and virtually blind. The Atlantic takes no prisoners – but we
made it, just two hours inside the record. Even now, 27 years later, I can
still feel the pain, but the joy of taking this wonderful boat and its trusty
MTU engines to sea once more was a moment to cherish for all the crew
and new owner Dan Stevens, who has done so much to restore the boat.
On board for the first time in 27 years, Branson said, ‘She still looks
and sounds the same. It’s wonderful to be back.’ Rastig recalled that the
MTUs were running at 20 per cent overload for the record run: ‘Now
they are back to normal tune so the top speed has dropped to 45 knots.’
I could not believe how small the boat looked. Did we really cross the
Atlantic in that?

24-25 February
Superyacht Design Symposium
Superyacht and design enthusiasts alike will be heading to the
slopes of the Austrian Alps for the sixth annual Superyacht Design
Symposium. On 24 and 25 February 2014, delegates from both
yachting and luxury design fields will come together at the Bio-Hotel
Stanglwirt, Kitzbühel, to contribute to a collection of interactive
presentations and discussion. The dynamic Symposium format is
complemented by a first-class programme of elegant social events
and time spent on piste in this picturesque location.
The two-day event, renowned for attracting yacht owners, designers,
builders, captains, brokers, interior specialists and senior members of
the industry, actively encourages stimulating, authoritative and at times
controversial debate in an open forum in order to positively influence
the outcome of future superyacht projects from a design perspective.
The 2014 programme has been developed to ensure the subjects
explored meet the needs of attending delegates and themes discussed
are interesting, topical and diverse. The forum, led by symposium
chairman Nigel Campbell, will feature a variety of plenary sessions
including Defining Innovation in Design, Moving Forward with Interiors,
Managing Tonnage and establishing What Owners Really Want.
Speakers include Ed Dubois of Dubois Naval Architecture, yacht
designer Terence Disdale, interior specialist Gillian Brown and Ed
Barber of Barber Osgerby, designer of the London 2012 Olympic Torch.
Elective workshops are also available, providing the opportunity to
focus on key areas of interest such as Greener, Faster Sailing and
Designing for the Asian Market. Yacht owners and designers have the
opportunity to meet on a one-to-one basis in Swarovski’s ‘Crystal
Atelier’ showroom, in the Stanglwirt Library.
Included in the Superyacht Design Symposium ticket price, registered
delegates are invited to the ShowBoats Design Awards, a prize-giving
ceremony that honours the craftsmen and innovators responsible for
the most exceptional new superyacht designs. The event, at the
Swarovski Crystal Worlds, is on the first evening of the Symposium.
An impressive list of owners and senior industry professionals
including Feadship, Lürssen, Oceanco, and Perini Navi have already
confirmed their attendance at the Superyacht Design Symposium 2014.

extensive social programme also includes a selection of shore side
activities, as well as use of the sumptuous facilities of Oil Nut Bay
Beach Club.
Post racing festivities for all include a Welcome Cocktail on the

and I need to weigh them all up. Larry and I are speaking and we’ll just
have to see how things turn out.’
He makes no bones about the priorities of being a professional athlete.
‘It’s a business. I’ve always looked up to athletes that are able to get the
results on the sporting field and to make really smart business decisions,’
he says. The only big name sailor confirmed for Oracle is Tom Slingsby,
the Australian Olympic gold medallist who shared the decision-making
with Ben Ainslie at the back of the Oracle AC72. Spithill would be a big
catch for Hamilton Island, or any other challenger team for that matter.
He is in the enviable position of being able to name his price.
Before he was snapped up by Oracle a few years ago, Spithill’s
employer was Luna Rossa, from whom he departed on good terms.
Perhaps it’s not out of the question he could return to the Italian team,
although there’s no indication this will happen. I was at the Monsoon Cup
in Malaysia in late November, where Luna Rossa was fielding a team at
the final event on the Alpari World Match Racing Tour. Francesco Bruni
skippered the Luna Rossa entry, with team boss Max Sirena running the
middle of the boat.
Having beaten Ainslie in the final of the previous Tour event a month
earlier in Bermuda, Bruni was rediscovering the thrill of match racing
at four knots, even after a summer of tearing around San Francisco Bay
at 40 knots. ‘It is a different style of match racing, but it is still the same
sport at a different speed and is useful for keeping your racing skills
sharp,’ says Bruni, who plans to compete on the Tour next year while
he waits for Oracle and Team Australia to thrash out the plans and terms
of the 35th America’s Cup.
There were many times when Iain Murray was stuck between a rock and a hard place during a stressful summer of sailing in San Francisco for the (now former) regatta director of the 34th
America’s Cup and CEO of America’s Cup Race Management.
The Australian former Cup skipper did not cover himself in glory after
the death of his fellow Star sailor and friend, Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson,
when he said the fatal Artemis catastrophe was ‘not on the radar for any
of us’. For much of the time Murray looked like he’d rather be anywhere
than sitting at a press conference trying to explain or justify matters
beyond his control. Keeping the peace between the organisers of the Cup
– ie the Defender – and the challengers is an impossible task.
So it’s no surprise that Murray will not be reprising that role for the
35th Cup. The good news for him – and the Cup – is that the ‘big fella’
has taken up the role of CEO of Team Australia, the Hamilton Island
Yacht Club Challenger of Record. Having worked on the inside, Murray
has a good understanding of how Team Oracle USA thinks and operates.
At the same time, it is hoped Murray will be able to remove himself
sufficiently from his old loyalties to do the right thing by his new
employer and the other challenger teams.
Team Australia has yet to announce any big name Australian sailors,
although they will surely follow. Could Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill be
lured away from the team he has twice steered to victory in the America’s
Cup? For him, surely the next big goal is to bring the Cup back to your
country of birth. The street-smart 35-year-old is not ruling out a
departure from Larry Ellison’s team. ‘I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t
for Larry,’ says Spithill. ‘But also, I’ve been approached by a lot of teams

TO A CRUISING YACHT INSPIRED BY AMERICAN RETRO-CLASSIC SAILER TO A SPACIOUS, DESIGNERS PRESENT FRESH IDEAS FOR 2014
Design Unlimited 72m
ICON Yachts 95m
Positioning the
superstructure of the Vora
concept in the central 50 per cent
of its length allowed the UK
studio to achieve a sporty, low
profile and large, easily
accessible spaces at main deck
level. The saloon and master
cabin have floor-to-ceiling
windows, while a glass floor in
the saloon has views of the pool
and sunbathing area below
Selazzio 95, from Dutch builder ICON Yachts in collaboration with
Austrian design house Motion Code: Blue, was inspired by the trend for
explorer yachts with ample outdoor deck spaces. It would offer a prodigious
range, but eschews the often utilitarian look of expedition yachts for modern,
masculine styling. There are spacious social areas across its 22m beam, aft
deck cinema screen and a three-level ‘beach house’ saloon with a waterfall
LP Design Ltd UK 60m
Claydon Reeves 59m
The UK studio’s design for the Pendennis 25 Years
anniversary book is inspired by American muscle
cars. The automotive edge is distilled into a sleek, low
profile, with a long foredeck, subtly domed windows
to reflect light in an interesting way and raked glass
at the aft end of the upper saloon to add drama
The 32m sailer MM32 was
designed for Pendennis’s 25
Years anniversary book (two
more such designs are
below). The carbon boat
would be engineered to
dampen noise, and has a
glass canopy over the saloon
that opens to the aft deck
NEWDESIGNS
Dobroserdov Design 55m
Malcolm Mckeon Yacht Design 32m
The E Motion range was penned by Dobroserdov Design for Admiral Tecnomar and
includes 55m (pictured) and 52m designs – the former is in build with delivery due in
2016. They have hybrid propulsion and combine modern looks with efficient power
The Citadel motor yacht concept, also designed for Pendennis,
combines a robust, explorer-style hull with sleek styling. The
largely conventional interior offers twists such as a ‘clubroom’
bar and a grand dining saloon with a 3m head height
The 92 Discovery design, from
Zuccon International Project’s
superyacht brand, combines a military
style exterior with an unusual, privacy-
focused layout. The swimming pool and
outdoor living areas are moved from
stern to bow for privacy, while the main
deck aft is reserved for toys and
tenders. The main deck interior features
a grand entrance and crew spaces,
while the upper deck is dedicated to
guests, again increasing privacy
This design is a re-imagining
of the 45m motor yacht Aslec 4,
penned by the designer and
launched by Rossinavi in 2012.
Larger but still under 500GT, the
design features clean lines and a
straight bow. Inside is an owner’s
suite with private
sundeck and
the studio
envisions
classic décor
In-build at the Turkish yard and due in 2014, the
Cutlass design is based on that of Tansu Yachts’ 2011
yacht Bartender (ex-Nomade). Modifications include an
internal stairwell for easy access to the upper deck, an
upper saloon, a redesigned captain’s cabin and changes
to crew areas, plus a larger cold room and laundry

Oceanco 91.5m
Oceanco’s designer Patrick Casanova and his team gave 91.5m concept
E-Motion a sporty exterior with a low superstructure and straight bow.
The interior, by Sinot Yacht Design, includes a 120m2 owner’s suite with
panoramic views and a private terrace that overlooks a 6.5m infinity pool on
the deck below. There’s also a 250m2 main saloon and a spacious cinema.
The rich décor is inspired by nature with, for example, branches and grass
patterns in the spa, all well-lit through large windows and skylights

Vripack 50m
Weber+Kramer 55m The 55m displacement
motor yacht design by Italian
studio Weber+Kramer offers
a foredeck swimming pool, a
balcony in the owner’s suite
and a beach club with a swim
platform. It is designed in
compliance with the LY3 code
and has a forward garage
that can store an 8.5m tender
and a rescue boat, plus an aft
garage for toy storage
The Envy range of 33m, 40m and 50m (pictured) semi-displacement, aluminium
yachts was designed by the Dutch studio for Admiral Tecnomar. Features include
three beach platforms and a central atrium that captures the sunlight filtering
through full-height windows and a slender, high-performance hull form
Newcruise 72m Kabuto, a 72m motor yacht concept from German studio
Newcruise, has a sleek, automotive-inspired exterior, with
hatches based on sports car doors. There is an open-air focus
throughout, with a large sundeck across two levels and big open
foredeck that could be developed as a pool and sunbathing area
Horacio Bozzo Design 48m
The 48m Bahamas motor yacht concept by
Horacio Bozzo Design is tailored to Caribbean
cruising. It has a 2m draught for shallow
waters, a big infinity pool and lounge area on
the main deck aft. Proposed engineering
by Axis Group Yacht Design includes
two versions, with top speeds
of 15.5 or 20 knots

Trimaran 210 offers more
than 966m2 of living space
within its 22m beam. The
large forward owner’s suite
has access to its own bow
terrace, while six cabins
radiate out from the main
saloon. The top deck offers
formal dining for 14 under
a sliding roof, plus an
aft deck lounge. The
boat would be
powered by four MTU
12V 2000 M84 engines
at 1,635hp each,
giving a top speed of 30
knots and a cruising speed
of 20 knots with a predicted
range of 5,000 nautical miles
The 67m Mantis design is a sailer with the comfort of a motor
yacht. It features a beach club aft, two airy saloons, guest cabins on
the main deck to improve views and a full-beam master with
balconies. It was designed to suit a traditional ketch configuration and
also a two-masted Dynarig optimised by Dykstra for Mantis
This 70m concept from
Moore Yacht Design is styled
for longevity of appeal, with
modern styling that is not
too radical. There are large
exterior seating areas on
the upper deck and sundeck,
plus a dining area and spa
pool. An owner’s cabin
forward has a walk-through
wardrobe leading to a
large bathroom
Iñigo Toledo of Spanish studio Barracuda Yacht
Design chose the Monaco Yacht Show to unveil his
latest design: an elegant and practical 50m. Stand-out
features include a large beach club and plenty of floor-

Judel/Vrolijk with the Italian Nauta Yachts studio
responsible both for her interior and her exterior
styling. She has a raised saloon and a cockpit protected
by a carbon hardtop, and accommodates eight guests
Oceanic Yachts is a range of fast explorer designs by Canados. It spans 28m to 43m
(pictured) and aims to provide extensive interior volumes and outdoor space, lots of toy
storage, and to combine performance with economic cruising. The 43m will be the second
model launched, and feature a high-performance hull concept dubbed ‘Displaning’
Elixir, the studio’s first
collaboration with Oceanco, is
based on the yard’s 100m
platform. The design is rooted in
feasible
engineering and
architecture and
features a secluded
owner’s suite up top, spa
that spills out on to the
foredeck and a transom door that
when open acts as a canopy to the
pool without obstructing views
Jesus Franco, of JF Yachts Design, has designed a 65m
he’s called Evissa. The lines are based on those proposed for
the 2012 Young Designer of the Year – which Franco admired,
although too late to enter that competition. The result is a
yacht of fast, aggressive aspect, still able to offer plenty of
outdoor space, a spa, gym and cinema, and accommodate
eight guests in four comfortable cabins
NEWDESIGNS
This fast cruising design

Mulder Shipyard 34m This newly ordered 34m motor yacht will be the Dutch
yard’s largest order to date. Claydon Reeves designed the
contemporary exterior with classic details, as well as the
light interior that sleeps eight guests and features a main
saloon with full-height windows and a fold-down balcony
in the dining saloon. She’ll have naval architecture by Van
Oossanen Naval Architects and a transatlantic range
Omega Architects 50m
The Heesen shipyard has a long association with the Omega Architects studio,
headed by Frank Laupman, and this proposal (now in build at the yard) continues that
collaboration. A reverse bow and clean, clear styling lines mark a departure from the
usual Heesen style. She employs the Fast DIsplacement Hull Form developed by Van
Oossanen Naval Architects, as seen on recent Heesen launch Galactica Star

DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS FOCUSED ON RESIDENTIAL
DESIGN SHINE A DIFFERENT LIGHT ON YACHT PROJECTS
‘When designing for a yacht, space is your number one concern’
The world of interior yacht design is and has been largely dominated by a small specialised group of yacht stylists, interior designers
and architects. Yet every so often a yacht is launched
that makes its way into coffee table books and design
magazines – its interior by a designer better known for
residential and commercial design. Is the transition
between the two genres of residential and yacht design as
easy, or as difficult, as one might claim? Must designers
approach projects for the two with different mindsets?
‘Design is an issue of proportion, balance and scale, as
well as the function of the space,’ says Jim Harris of JW
Harris, a residential design firm in Scottsdale, Arizona.
‘The client’s vision is what you approach and solve [in
either case]. However, the vessel moves! There are issues
of balance, stability, and sea-fastening, as well as what is
not visible for the safety and security issues.’
‘When designing for a yacht, space is your number one
concern,’ says Aileen Rodriguez. She has been designing
high-end residential and yacht interiors since 1996 and
says she takes a different approach with a yacht project.
Residential and yacht designer Tom Bakker says,
‘The technical challenge and complexity of yacht interior
design and construction is greater than in residential
projects. In addition, yacht systems can be more
complicated than in homes, so the architectural interior
needs to accommodate all these equipment elements.
Spaces where architecture and cabinetry meet compound
curves of the hull on the lower decks pose a challenge.’
True, unless the designer is working for a client who
wants to embrace the raw surfaces (as some owners of
carbon-fibre sailing yachts have done) or the base
structure, (as some owners of classic yachts have
demanded) yacht designs of the modern era have gone to
extreme measures to make the inside of a boat look like
anything but. Only smaller. In fact, a project coordinator
for a European production boatyard actually offered this
advice to a horrified US designer: ‘Just draw everything
you want in the room and scale it seven-eighths size.’
‘What [remains] the same is the human interaction
distances, space between sofas, the size of dining tables,
the room needed in the main guest areas,’ says Rodney
Black of Rodney Black Design Studios in the UK. He
designed the interior of 68 metre Feadship Lady Christine.
‘These distances can be reduced to heighten the feeling
of excitement, but for a boat like Lady Christine,
interpersonal spaces were the same as a large house.’
Black, a residential designer, contends that the main
differences in the approach between residential and yacht
design have to do with the limitations on headroom, the

‘The integration of systems, technology, architectural styling and cabinetry design is critical’
‘The boat interior itself becomes a large piece of furniture and nearly every surface is given that degree
NF�pMERRE’
requirement for more services and the nature of the
relationship between the interior and the exterior. ‘With a
house, the interior space is considered in relationship to
a garden or landscape. With a boat, there is no constant
relationship. The view can change from a clear horizon
to a marina berth with other boats in close proximity.
‘Boat interiors are also more detail intensive,’ Black
continues. ‘We create a world that makes the boat a
cultural universe in its own right. Houses have the
privilege of living off the cultural heritage of their
surroundings. Boats do not.’ Rodriguez agrees and
says that space limitations encourage designers to
compensate with special finishes and luxe items. ‘In a
residential project the expense of these finishes would
limit them to areas such as the entry way or kitchen or
bathroom,’ she says. ‘There is a difference in the way a
yacht is finished on the inside. There is nothing left for
paint: the surfaces are wood, stone or covered in a
speciality finish or upholstered silk padding.’
‘The detail is finer,’ says Black. ‘It is as if the senses are
attuned on the boat and the eye takes in more detail. With
a house, the eye rests on individual items of furniture and
the detail of the natural world in the landscape. The boat
interior itself becomes a large piece of furniture – nearly
every surface is given that degree of finesse.
‘I have done things with the design of carpets [aboard
yachts] I would not normally do in houses, such as to
mirror the ceiling treatment on the floor,’ says Black. In
the saloon and owner’s suite aboard Lady Christine, the
line of the ceiling dome was set out in the carpet with a
relevant motif. ‘The idea was to strengthen the suggestion
of an invisible cocoon within the larger space. What we did
not want was a decorated floor that would draw attention
downwards. Keep the eye fascinated by objects above the
floor, in the furniture, then provide detail at eye level. The
ceilings are light in colour and weight so the whole effect
is one of the spaces rising and floating.’
‘In our latest project we did a great deal of ceiling
architecture to hide, camouflage or distract from the
numerous security, safety and entertainment apparatus
that always ends up in the ceiling,’ says Harris.
‘With a yacht, you must consider the full concept, from
the technical through to details such as bath towels,’ says
Andreas Holnburger of Vain Interiors. ‘I love to create
Tom Bakker
Rodney Black
Superyacht Design
interiors that can be the background for the client’s
personality. A house always grows and changes; a boat
must be completed all at once.’
Harris stresses the importance of the personality of a
space once people enter it. ‘Spaces are typically rendered
or photographed empty,’ he says. ‘When you add people,
there is colour, pattern, texture, personality. Carry that
further with fragrances, music and elements of an event
and you have a dramatic change in space. The design
elements are subordinate to the people using that space.
Every room is a background for what “might” happen.’
‘Like a house, a yacht should be designed for comfort
and expression,’ says architect and designer Peter
Hawrylewicz of PH Design in Miami. ‘It should be an
extension of the owner’s personality interpreted in a
dialect outlined by the designer.’ Of the interior of the
70 metre Perini Navi ketch Hawrylewicz is designing,
however, he concedes, ‘I delineated the layout of the
interior with a sense of democracy I wouldn’t necessarily
feel inclined to use in someone’s house or apartment.
Because of the boat’s dynamics there were no
advantages to orientation. I found my adherence to
symmetry in this particular yacht refreshing and new.’
Does one architectural style lend itself better to a
yacht interior? Black thinks so: ‘Clearly the days of heavy
ornament derived from any historic style is a thing of the
past, but this does not mean the death of design motifs
which animate and enrich the experience of the interior.
I have concentrated on developing the motifs so they have
an embroidering role, or perhaps like the role of
illumination in calligraphy, so what looks like decoration
is in fact governing the whole scheme.’
But of the trend for minimalism in residential
interiors, Black does not feel that it adds a relaxing feel
to a yacht’s interior. ‘Minimalism has its roots in anxiety
about making cultural statements. The great early
modernist architect Adolf Loos described ornament
as immoral and degenerate. The great works of early
minimalism were aimed at avoiding historical
references in an age of gathering world conflict. So it
was hardly a relaxed style to begin with. Its translation
into today’s relaxation architecture suggests time-
killing, a space on the way to where something
interesting is happening.’
‘For unique joinery (on 50 metre Westport Annastar) we chose cerused oak in a warm honey colour with buried oak in the master suite’
‘Like a house, a yacht should be designed for comfort and expression. It should be an extension of the owner’s personality interpreted in a dialect outlined by the designer’

THE BRITISH ENTREPRENEUR’S
HIGH-PROFILE CAREER HAS EVEN
INCLUDED AN AMERICA’S CUP
BID. AND AS FOR THE BOATS?
HE’S OWNED A FEW...
Peter de SavaryIf you’re an Englishman of a certain age
and type – one who was for instance an
impressionable, sailing-mad teenager back in the early
1980s – then the name Peter de Savary is always going
to resonate with one particular long hot summer. It was
back in 1983 when de Savary led his Victory America’s
Cup team to the Louis Vuitton Cup final against
Australia II. Victory 83 won a race before the Australians
prevailed 4-1 to win the Louis Vuitton Cup from de
Savary’s team, and went on to defeat Dennis Conner in
the most famous of all America’s Cup matches, finally
taking the Cup away from the New York Yacht Club
after 132 years of unbroken success.
Since I am an Englishman of that age and type, meeting
Peter de Savary was always going to be a bit special. The
inescapable fact is that de Savary’s outfit got closer to
winning the Cup than any other British team in the post-
War era, as Sir Ben Ainslie is certainly aware.
‘I’m hugely respectful of, and admire Sir Ben Ainslie
enormously,’ de Savary says, regarding the recent
America’s Cup, ‘not only his proven sailing abilities, but
he’s just a really great ambassador for sailing and the
UK in every respect. I think that if people are honest,
it was because of him that the fortunes of the Americans
were reversed in San Francisco. That has done him a
huge amount of good in enhancing the likelihood he
can get sponsors for a British challenge. The secret is to
have multinational sponsors – it would be very hard to
find a UK sponsor for $100 million. That’s not to
preclude raising money in England: I could be
interested in being a contributor, and perhaps in some
areas I could be helpful, so if they want me to play
some sort of small role and bring experience I’d be
happy to do that, put up some money – but they need
to find a multinational sponsor.’
I have joined de Savary for lunch aboard his beautifully
restored 33 metre schooner, Silver Spray – built by
Scheepswerf Piet Smit and originally launched in 1916.
We are moored at the Real Club Náutico de Palma, on a
beautiful late autumn day, and enjoy a stunning seafood
lunch in the cockpit. De Savary points out, ‘By the time
you get into October you get nice winds here, and the
same in early spring. I start here very early, I’ll be out
sailing this boat by the first of April, and I’m still here
sailing now – there’s not another owner on a single big
boat in this whole port.’
De Savary very much considers himself a sailor. ‘If
you’re a yachtsman – which means you can go out in a 28
foot (8.5 metre) sailing boat and have a three week
holiday and absolutely think it’s the best thing in your life
– the size of the boat is irrelevant. I just love taking boats
out to sea, and the challenges that go with all that.’ He
was born in 1944 on a farm in Essex, but moved to
Venezuela with his parents and spent the first nine years
of his life in South America. It was here that he found the
inspiration for a life filled with boats.
‘My first boat experience – where I learnt what the bow
was and about port and starboard – was actually in 1952
words:
Mark Chisnell

Studio Mallorca
I just love taking boats out to sea, and the challenges that go with all that’
in Grenada,’ he remembers. ‘We went there for a six week
holiday from Venezuela, and the only way to get to the
beach from the hotel was by boat. A fisherman with a
West Indian skiff and an outboard would take us every
day with a picnic at 10 o’clock to the beach, and come
back [to get us] at 4 o’clock. He let me drive the boat, and
taught me about the sea and at the age of eight I was
really fascinated by it. I can see it like it was yesterday,
[the fisherman] was the inspiration for my love of the sea.’
Once the family returned to England, de Savary made
sure that he spent his summer holidays on the water. ‘My
mother and father divorced when I was one, so I have a
step-father; he was not a sailor, but when I was with my
mother and him, he was very supportive and enthusiastic
for me to go and sail and play with boats. And my real
father was a sailor. They both knew that I liked boats
and in those divorced situations, when you get your
child for a couple of weeks, you tend to try to facilitate
that they do things they like.’
‘I started sailing down on the Solent (English south
coast), at a place called Hill Head, in a clinker-built class
boat they had down there called a Jacqueline Class, a 14
foot (4.2 metre) dinghy. My father had a motorboat at
that time, but from when I was about 12 he also had a
Baltic trading schooner. He lived in Somerset and we
kept the boat at West Bay just below Bridport, and
usually sail over to France to all the little French ports:
Boulogne, Cherbourg, Le Havre, you name it.’ The
schooner eventually came to a tragic end on a charter,
hitting the rocks while trying to make harbour in a
storm. ‘My father was devastated, it killed one of the
Dutchman’s (the charterer) sons.’ He fell into the water
between the stricken yacht and the rescuing lifeboat.
Family cruising wasn’t the only sailing de Savary did
when he was young. ‘I was at boarding school, I went to
Charterhouse and sailed at the school; they used to sail
on Frensham Great Pond (near Guildford, in Southern
England) in Fireflies. And my parents gave me a little
Cadet called Imp, my first boat. So I learnt on a Cadet

and progressed up to a Firefly and the others.’ De
Savary’s life took a turn away from regular sailing after
he left school at 17 and went to Toronto, Canada to
work. ‘I sailed a bit in Canada, crewing on other people’s
boats on the Great Lakes,’ he says.
He returned to England with his new wife when he was
20, and lived in the West Country. ‘I didn’t have the
money to have a boat – I was working six, sometimes
seven days a week. I had hardly enough time for a wife
and a daughter, and certainly didn’t have any time for
sailing.’ There was one unsuccessful attempt to get afloat.
‘When I was in my early 20s I paid £60 for a plywood
speedboat.’ After three days of trying to start the engine
on a holiday in Cornwall, the boat finally went in the
water and promptly sank. ‘I abandoned it in the car park,’
finishes de Savary with a smile.
Then there was a brief move to Holland, living in the
Hague. ‘I used to sail there on the weekends, that was
1969 to 1971, and in 1972 I came back to England.’ By
now his career was on track. ‘In 1973 I bought a Riva
Superamerica, a 48 foot (14.6 metre), fast motorboat.’ It
was the first of many. ‘I’ve pretty much owned boats of
‘I’ve pretty much owned boats of every type, from the classics to the modern’
every type, from the classics to the modern,’ he says,
estimating their number at 50. So many boats, and all
funded by a long and multifaceted career.
‘I’ve never bought anybody else’s success, ever. I’ve
never bought a finished product,’ he says. He started in
import and export to Africa, and at one stage included
shipping in his business portfolio. ‘In the ’80s we used to
run 18 shipyards around the world, from South Korea to
Dubai, Greece, Scotland and Wales. Previously, back in
1969, we owned about five 10,000-tonne cargo ships,
trampers that didn’t run a regular schedule, opportunists
for hire and reward.’
These days, de Savary’s empire is largely based around
a high-profile portfolio of hotels and resorts focused on
golf courses and marinas or other amenities, which have
included Skibo Castle in Scotland, where Madonna married
Guy Ritchie. He is also deeply involved in Grenada, where
he is chairman and founder of the multi-million-dollar
development at Port Louis, with a wider role as the
government’s external investment ambassador.
Boat International readers may also know him for
starting the Pendennis boatyard. ‘[That was] years ago
now,’ de Savary reflects, ‘and I got Ed Dubois to design
a very beautiful yacht called Taramber (a 37.4 metre
sloop).’ It was named after Tara and Amber, two of his
daughters. It was the first boat built in a yard that has
gone on to international success.
So from the many boats he’s owned, which are his
favourites? ‘Of the sailing boats it was Vagrant (32
metre), the Herreshoff schooner built in 1910 for Harold
Vanderbilt – it was a graduation present for school. He
went out and won the Newport Bermuda Race. I found
her at the bottom of the sea in Antigua, but Herreshoff’s
grandson had the original drawings and sail plan, so we
raised her from the sea and spent a year and a half
rebuilding her in the mid-’80s.
‘After that I would probably say Taramber, purely
because we conceived it and built it ourselves in our
yard, and it was truly our creation. Of course it was
designed by Ed Dubois, but it was an achievement to
‘I’ve never bought anybody else’s success, ever. I’ve never bought a finished product’
Among De Savary’s many
boats, one of the more
famous is Land’s End
(top left and above left),
a 49m built in the 1960s.

build a boat like that in a new yard. Then I had a
wonderful, very pretty yacht called Whitehawk, a Bruce
King 105 foot (32 metre) ketch that I had six years ago.
After that the cute little sexy Hoek, Savvy (a Truly Classic
65 named after another daughter Savannah), and
Lisanola, named after the other two girls, Lisa and
Nicola, that I sold last year.’
This is just a selection of the sailing boats, then there
were the many motor yachts. ‘Of the motorboats, I
think Kalizma [is the favourite],’ declares de Savary.
This was the classic 50 metre launched as Minona in
1906, but most famous for being the boat that film star
Richard Burton bought for Elizabeth Taylor in 1967. De
Savary owned her during the 1983 America’s Cup and
used her as a floating base. ‘Then it would be the motor
yacht Land’s End. She was 166 foot (50.6 metres) and
built in Holland, one of six whaling hulls, the only one
made into a yacht. And then Fairy Swordsman (with
an interior by Terence Disdale). We shipped her to
America and used her as a weather boat in the
[America’s] Cup racing.’
It’s been quite a life, and as we finish up lunch with
very fine ice cream and de Savary relights his trademark
cigar, there’s still enough time to discuss his
philanthropic work. ‘I’m a subscriber to (19th Century
industrialist turned philanthropist) Andrew Carnegie’s
theory, which embraces two things: to be wasteful is a
sin, and to be extravagant is a conscious decision.
I also believe that to die rich is to die disgraced. So we
make various donations, as discreetly and anonymously
as we can.
‘I’ve never inherited anything or won anything, so
realise how lucky I am to have done relatively well and
enjoy many lovely things in life. You’re an odd kind of
person if it doesn’t give you enormous pleasure and
satisfaction to put some of that back to benefit people,
who for whatever reason didn’t have the same luck, and
indeed have got dealt an awful hand.’ De Savary, though,
has played a blinder with every card he got.
De Savary’s support boat
during his 1983 America’s
Cup campaign was 50m
Kalizma (top), once owned
by film stars and one of his
all-time favourite boats.

daughter Savannah;

WITH A STRIKING PROFILE AND EXPANSIVE EXTERIOR SPACES, THE LATEST YACHT FROM PROTEKSAN TURQUOISE IS THE RESULT OF
AN INTERESTING BALANCE BETWEEN VOLUME AND FINE DÉCOR
ILERIA
Many stories of success come from happy
partnerships, and yacht design and the
boatbuilding industry are not exceptions. Since the
Turkish yard Proteksan Turquoise and French designer
Jean-Guy Vergès began working together in the 1990s,
their ever-strengthening partnership has led to the birth
of 10 yachts, all of which have gained a certain amount
of attention.
Sometimes, as in the case of the lines and interior
design of a previous Proteksan yacht and Ileria, one
yacht has significantly influenced the other. ‘The owner
of Ileria had a clear picture of what he wanted in terms
of styles, shades and materials,’ says
Vergès, ‘and a visit on board my previous
work with Proteksan Turquoise helped me
get a better feeling of his wishes and
expectations. Besides large volumes, the
owner wanted contrasting woods with off-
white lacquer and mixed fabrics of the
same range of very light shades, with a contemporary
feeling and central Asian touches – the owner being
originally from that region.’
‘In early 2010,’ says Chris Dawson of owner’s
representative Master Yachts, ‘we were invited by the
owner to advise on and manage the construction of
Ileria, from inception through to completion. This was
undertaken with care and diligence to ensure the end
result precisely mirrored the owner’s vision and
expectations.’ The owner is a self-made businessman
who loves Turkey, cruising in the Eastern Mediterranean
and spending time on board with his friends and family.
Proteksan Turquoise has produced a
yacht of which her owner is justifiably
proud. Ileria, at 50.4 metres, is a good-
sized full-displacement yacht; built to the
highest European standards, she features a
sleek profile and lines, which remind many
of Vicky with her voluminous interior and

well balanced spaces on every deck. All
these assets made this yacht a success at
the Monaco Yacht Show in September.
Ileria combines large spaces and volumes
with a modern interior. The latter features
seven suites, including a full-beam master
and VIP suites on the main deck, with a
further VIP on the upper deck. The exterior design and the
engineering are the work of the builder (hence the
similarity to Vicky), while the designer, based in Mandelieu-
La Napoule, south eastern France, conceived her light,
bright and airy interior and her exceptional outside deck
spaces that flow beautifully from the beach club aft, up to
the sundeck three decks above. ‘An efficient, clear and
clean layout makes this yacht very easy to live on board in
comfort,’ says Vergès, ‘while large open decks, a specific
request from the owner, complete this picture.’
Another highlight, according to the
designer, ‘is the interior’s styling with a mix
of very contemporary loose furniture and
restyled pieces of historic details (from the
owner’s country of origin) such as the
doors’ motif and bedside panelling taken
from an ancient Central Asian rug pattern
that I reworked to suit the overall interior design’. The
use of such rectangular patterns, visible everywhere, has
somehow become Vergès’ trademark. ‘Yes, most of the
yachts I do get a specific motif,’ he agrees. ‘Each of them
is particular and unique as it reflects either a typical
detail found in the history of art of the country of origin
of the owner, or recalls a place around the world he feels
close to.’

influenced by Proteksan on this respect:
I did my selection and presented it to the
owner for approval’), also greatly influenced
the final result: ‘There is a mix of classic
pattern walnut wood cut by contemporary
matt and glossy off-white lacquers which
creates a real modern interior,’ adds Vergès,
‘still keeping the overall warm and cosy feeling.’ High
quality Turkish stones gave the final touch in all the en
suites. The warm walnut parquet and the bright leather
panelling work, finished with stitching edges, are the
final touches of quality in Ileria’s interiors and
correspond to the owner’s taste.
Ileria is now managed by Master Yachts. The owner
was so delighted with the yacht on delivery that Dawson
was asked to undertake the management role for the
vessel, and provide the ongoing professional service for
which his firm is known. ‘If I was to pick out the facets
of the vessel that stand out,’ Dawson says, ‘the interior
and exterior spaces available are simply exceptional for
her length. This has been achieved whilst maintaining
the pleasing exterior lines of the yacht. Also, the quality
of finish of the interior is first class and the sound levels,
especially in the guest areas and guest cabins, are
remarkably low.’
The general arrangement of Ileria is
largely conventional but, as Vergès says,
this enables easy on board living. Two
double and two twin cabins are located on
the lower deck, while another VIP suite is
on the bridge deck, to port. The main
saloon is complete with sofas, easy chairs,
side and coffee tables. Out from the main saloon to the
open aft deck is a seating area whose fulcrum is a teak
dining table with a buffet for service on the port side.
The galley is on the main deck, with a pantry servicing
the dining. The latter, seating 12 people and occasionally
14, is ideal for entertaining.
The full-beam owner’s suite with king-sized berth is
aft of the owner’s bathroom, which features steam room,
shower and separate oval bathtub. The owner’s office is
aft of the owner’s suite and adjacent to the on-deck VIP
suite. An astonishing sea view can be fully enjoyed even
while seated at the desk.
The upper deck aft area and upper deck lounge
ensure privacy for relaxation whilst providing flexibility
for a variety of uses. Opposite the pantry to starboard is
a second VIP suite with queen berth, adjoining bathroom
and more windows providing spectacular views. The
upper saloon on this deck is light, bright and airy and

features a large-screen TV that can be
raised and lowered for use. The outside
deck behind the upper saloon has a teak
dining table seating up to 14 with buffet
servers nearby and deep seating all the
way aft with sunpads.
The sundeck, probably the owner’s
favourite area, boasts a vista seating area forward with
wraparound seating and coffee tables on both sides.
There is a bar – soon to be fitted with five stools – with
a shaded dining area aft and a fully shaded lounging
area with coffee table and armchairs. The sundeck
hardtop has a sliding sunshade, while a spa pool is all
the way aft, rather than in front, with more sunpads
positioned on both sides. In normal conditions this area
is used either as a relaxing chill-out area or as a focus for
larger events with family or friends, but at the owner’s
request it can be quickly turned into an outdoor gym.
The wheelhouse, where wood and black leather are
the main materials, features vertical windows with good
visibility that could have been improved still further had
smaller LCD navigation screens been installed. The
ships office and radio room are to port, with access to
the captain’s cabin to starboard, the latter offering both
a queen berth and an en suite. All the navigation
equipment here is by Furuno of Japan.
There are four guest suites on the lower
deck. Two have queen berths and en suites
with bathtubs, while there are two twin
cabins, both with Pullman berths and en
suites with marble lined showers. Aft is a
spacious garage where a 6.2 metre Castoldi
tender and water toys are safely stored,
including two Kawasaki jet skis. The garage is fitted with
a two-tonne telescopic crane, while another crane
located just in front of the wheelhouse, to port, serves
the rescue boat only. Ileria carries up to 11 crew plus
captain (in six en suite cabins) to ensure the owner
and his guests have a truly private and relaxed
yacht experience.
Powered by two Caterpillar 3508B 1,100hp engines,
Ileria achieves a top speed of just over 14 knots with a
range of 4,500 nautical miles at the cruising speed of 12
knots. She is equipped with zero speed stabilisers
assuring on-board comfort when the yacht is both
anchored or under way.
A beautifully balanced, well thought-out boat,
designed to the highest specification, Ileria is proof
again, not only of the strong Proteksan Turquoise
reputation for global standards of quality, but also of the
value of a really good partnership.

TO THE IDEAL CRUISING YACHT QUALITIES FOUND IN HER
SISTERSHIPS, THE NEW 58.6 METRE PERINI NAVI KETCH ADDS
THE THRILL OF PERFORMANCE
SEAHAWK
When I spoke with Fabio Perini a few
years ago, the genius inventor who founded the
Perini Navi shipyard in 1983 mentioned that his restless
mind had been wandering in the direction of winches
again. A few years later the result is on the water: the new
Perini Navi 60 metre ketch. Seahawk has all-new Perini
captive reel winches that are faster, lighter and stronger
than the ones he invented years ago.
The most successful Perini series to date has been the
yard’s 56 metre model, designed in collaboration with Ron
Holland; 10 of the Perini Navi 56 metres have been sold.
You can see them at superyacht regattas like the St Barths
Bucket, dominating the Grandes Dames des Mers class. But
it was precisely the owners of these grandes dames who
had been encouraging the yard to change course: big and
luxurious yes, but faster would be more fun.
Enter Seahawk. Her hull designed in collaboration with
Ron Holland has a 58.6 metre LOA, and changes and
improvements have been made throughout, especially in
her superstructure and sail plan. Her gross tonnage of
491GT is the same as the 56 metre and her displacement is
just 13 tonnes more. ‘The 60 metre looks “Perini” because
we kept our classic coachroof style, but Seahawk is tutta
diversa, completely different,’ says Franco Romani, head of

‘The yacht is performing just the way we thought she would,’
Perini says. ‘She’s quick and well balanced and is the shape
of our boats to come’
the Perini Design Department. ‘She’s leaner, more
aggressive. While her bow is longer, her beam is actually a
bit less than the 56. Her keel is shorter, slimmer and deeper
and she has a lower centre of gravity. The smaller
superstructure combined with the yacht’s long sheerline
make the 60 metre especially graceful and then there are
the improvements you can’t see, like the double floor in the
engine room, which, thanks to shock absorbers mounted
under it, cuts noise and vibration by 90 per cent.’
Seahawk debuted in style, doing a large part of her sea
trials at the Perini Navi Cup in Porto Cervo. While not racing
she was a standout in the 15-strong Perini fleet and not just
for her gun-metal grey hull and red standing rigging; she
tacked in less than a minute compared to the almost two it
takes aboard a 56 metre. Fabio Perini sailed aboard Seahawk
with her owner and his son and invariably came back to port
ecstatic. ‘The yacht is performing just the way we thought
she would, even in light winds,’ Perini says. ‘She’s quick and
well balanced and is the shape of our boats to come.’
You can’t miss the key to this improvement in performance;
it’s in the sail plan, handling system and standing rigging. ‘I
chose all-carbon standing rigging,’ says Seahawk’s owner, a
European entrepreneur and art collector. ‘It’s a first for Perini
and I had it painted my signature scarlet – from the rigging,
SEAHAWK
Even during the heat of a
regatta Seahawk sails along in majestic silence, as if
untouched by human hands
SEAHAWK
to the logo, the helms and the engine room. Even my
business card is this same particular shade.’
Seahawk has carbon fibre furling booms and spreaders
and her aluminium masts are 62 metres and nearly 52
metres high. Thanks to improvements in the resistance of
the metals and graduated thickness, their combined weight
is less than that of the main mast alone that was mounted
in 2003 on Burrasca, the first Perini 56 metre. ‘But these
may be the last aluminium masts we mount at Perini,’ says
Vittorio Blengini of Perini’s sales department. ‘The 60 metre
sloop and the 70 metre ketch we now have in construction
both have all-carbon masts and rigging.’
Other weight savings were made in the winches, a
project two years in the making. ‘For fine tuning the jib,
which alone is 420 square metres, we needed a winch that
could handle 30 tonnes. There were none, so Mr Perini
started working on the project,’ Blengini says. The result is
a behemoth with a grooved drum nearly a metre in
diameter. ‘We needed a large drum for speed and mounted
the winch in Seahawk’s engine room for safety and weight
distribution,’ he explains.
‘This winch is hydraulic, but the ones we’ll mount on the
60 metre sloop and the 70 metre ketch will be electric.
These winches can handle loads of 30 to 35 tonnes and
recover up to 150 metres of line per minute. Seahawk also
has 12 captive winches that are faster, weigh about 20 per
cent less than the ones we used on the 56 metre, and now,
instead of custom electric motors, use standard motors that
are stronger, lighter weight, energy efficient and easy to
service. We have also developed new steel and titanium
halyard locks for the main and mizzen sails and a new
titanium batten car system to improve these sail’s shape
and in-boom furling.’
Mounting the jib and reacher furlers flush with the deck
compounded the improvements. ‘The headsail furlers are
faster and we have added mechanisms for adjusting the
cunningham. The flush furlers allow the foot of the sail to
reach down to the handrail instead of about a metre above
it for a larger sail area. The mechanisms are below deck
and access is provided for by the the sail locker and are
easy to inspect,’ Blengini adds.
Technological improvements accompany these
mechanical ones. ‘Our previous sail control system had
winches and furlers on separate commands,’ continues
Blengini. ‘Now we use an automatic system where you
simply enter the tack and the software regulates the winches
and furler in tandem.’
Sailing a yacht that incorporates all this technology can be
a bit surreal: even during the heat of a regatta Seahawk sails
along in majestic silence, as if untouched by human hands.
A Perini-developed software manages the sensors that
monitor her sail-handling systems. A table-sized touchscreen
runs the pilothouse, which a glass wall that can be made
opaque separates from the main saloon. Another slightly
more traditional helm station is found on the flybridge.
There were also old-fashioned factors to consider. ‘Just as
for the 56s, staying under 500 gross tonnes was important for
regulations and registration,’ Romani says. ‘Gross tonnage is

The full-beam owner’s

stainless steel sinks are
set atop unpolished white
marble shelves (opposite
below left). The standing
rigging (right) has been
painted the owner’s
signature scarlet measured by volume, so to compensate for larger volumes in
the hull we made the superstructure smaller. The owner and
guests still have a large main saloon and cabin spaces but
they also have unprecedented outdoor deck spaces like a
guest cockpit just aft of the main mast, wide side passages,
an opening ‘beach’ transom and a side boarding platform.’
Boarding Seahawk from astern gives an immediate sense
of the vastness of the outdoor space: the aft deck is wide and
open, unencumbered by helms, winches and lines – an ideal
spot for sunbathing or even dancing under the stars. Four
steps lead down to the rear guest cockpit protected by the
flybridge overhang. Officially outdoors, it can be closed off
by raising a glass partition. The cockpit can easily seat 14 at
a table with a curved banquette and chairs and also has a
comfortable couch with a TV and bar area. Just aft of the
main mast is another guest cockpit with seating for 14 or
more. All these areas can be shaded with awnings and the
opening ‘beach’ transom has a socket for an umbrella. For
following the action while under sail, two upholstered
benches are aft of the headsail furlers. Tender wells are fully
flush leaving the foredeck open and free.
Access to the flybridge is via a portside staircase. Aft of the
helm station is an oval table that conceals a bar. Sofas with
fixed footrests are port and starboard and another table with
seating is under the mizzen mast vang. Another sofa is to
starboard and a lounging area is aft. Arguably, it’s the best
vantage point on the yacht, but wanting to take advantage of
it in every possible manner has made it a bit cluttered.
Christian Liaigre, who previously decorated Rosehearty,
Rupert Murdoch’s Perini 56 metre, designed these external
areas as well as the interior. Theatrical LED lighting,
combined with a red, grey and dark brown colour palette,
makes for a highly dramatic, nocturnal effect. Naturally
finished teak is used on both the floors and the ceilings
throughout the guest areas while the walls are highly
polished dark liquidambar (American sweetgum) veneer or
the yacht’s own grey hull colour.
The main saloon is an open space that follows the yacht’s
contours and reads like four separate areas. For an entry/
lounge area with asymmetrical couches in grey leather,
Liaigre designed pickled oak coffee tables and a V-shaped
glass case for oceanic artefacts. The flatscreen TV here is
supplemented by a connection to the mast instruments so
you can keep up with the soaps and wind speed
simultaneously. The games area has a leather-covered
magnetic table to hold chess and draughts pieces even in
rough seas. A dining area with a natural teak table and
seating for eight to 10 on a white-leather banquette and
chairs is next to an office area that can be closed off with a
grey leather curtain.
On the lower deck, the full-beam owner’s suite aft has
two double beds mounted on opposite sides of the cabin.
His and hers bathrooms and dressing areas are fully
separated and include wardrobes in dark liquidambar and
angular stainless steel sinks mounted on unpolished white
marble shelves. A removable wall can divide the suite into
two distinct cabins for charters. Each guest cabin will have
a different bird logo designed by the same avant-garde
sculptor and architect who did the yacht’s transom logo:
Paffard Keatinge-Clay.
Crew quarters are bright and functional and include
a generous restaurant-style galley and a full laundry.
Eleven crew are accommodated in six en suite cabins
and share a large crew mess that features a leather
banquette. The mess converts into a very popular and
cosy crew cinema by lowering the table and covering it
with cushions.
Seahawk is among the 19 yachts already scheduled to
participate in the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht
Regatta and Rendezvous at the YCCS in Virgin Gorda in
March; she will then will sail on to put the big blue
Grandes Dames to the test at the St Barths Bucket. With
her new technology and striking aesthetic, she promises
to leave her mark on superyachts to come.

MOONEN’S 42 METRE, ITS LARGEST YACHT TO DATE, BLENDS TECHNOLOGY, AESTHETICS – AND A SUBMARINE – IN A LUXURIOUS EXPLORER YACHT
SOFIA
words: Andrew Rogers photography: Dick Holthuis
SOFIA
A classic luxury explorer, Sofia is a crossover between a go-anywhere expedition vessel and one of the traditionally styled motor yachts that have made
Moonen Shipyards’ reputation. A custom project for a
repeat Moonen client (who is now a majority shareholder
in the yard), Sofia pushes the boundaries of innovation for
a yacht of her length. Her visible highlights are obvious,
including, but not limited to, the yellow submarine on her
transom, but it’s really the statistics that speak to her
technical achievement.
After extensive sea trials, Sofia notched up notable
noise and vibration results. Whisper-quiet figures as low
as 40 decibels were recorded in the cabins, and by the
engine room the sound stayed under 46 decibels even at
11 knots. Vibration tests were equally remarkable: 0.3 in
the cabins (compared to an acceptable Lloyd’s Class 1
level of 1.8) and 0.4 in public spaces (Class 1 level is 2.5).
Moonen is known for its noise and vibration attenuation
through propeller clearance, insulation, flexibly mounted
interiors and air-supported generator cushions. But until
this point, it has built only smaller yachts; to have
repeated the feat on a much larger scale is impressive.
The essence of customisation is that things can change
– and they certainly did on this yacht as the owner
extended her by over a metre several months after
building started.
‘Having already created two yachts together – a
Moonen 84 and a 97 – we knew the owner’s preferences
and expectations,’ says Emile Bilterijst, Moonen’s
managing director. ‘Sofia’s initial design evolved
organically out of ongoing discussions, starting at 110
feet (33.5 metres) then moving up to 125 feet (38 metres).

(The exterior designer) René van der Velden was briefed
to synthesise rugged adventurous looks with superyacht
style elements, and his initial designs had a slight explorer
feel combined with raked aft decks. They immediately
hit the spot, and the owner was also pleased with the
tender placement, considering it a waste of real estate to
keep his seven metre Novurania in a garage.’
They signed a letter of intent in early 2009 and it was
around that time that personal submarines started
appearing on the superyacht market. They struck a
chord with Sofia’s owner, a keen diver. He loved the idea
of sharing the pleasures of the deep with guests less
willing than he to don a wetsuit. One of the final changes
to the general arrangement before the build got under
way was the addition of a two-person sub. This was in
early 2010, when the contract was signed.
Eight months later at the Monaco Yacht Show, Bilterijst
trialled a submersible craft, taking a plunge below the
waves on the owner’s behalf. ‘Stepping aboard, I realised
that to take a guest with him and be able to enjoy the
view himself, the owner would need a pilot,’ he says.
‘But no other motor yacht close to Sofia’s size carries a
three-man submersible.
‘Returning to Holland, I asked our engineers whether
it was even technically feasible to fit such a sub on
board, with all the weight implications for the aft deck.
At times I came to regret their affirmative answer as it
meant embarking on some enormous changes. But as
soon as the owner heard of the idea, there was no going
back. And, of course, he was right.’
The new submarine – a C-Quester 3 from the Dutch
firm U-Boat Worx – dramatically shifted Sofia’s weight
distribution. At four-and-a-half tonnes, the submarine
was 50 per cent heavier than the specified craft and
required a much heftier crane to launch and deploy. This
in turn entailed fitting an extra tank in the yacht’s
forward section to counter the weight, while the stern
platform had to be stretched, bringing her to her final
length overall of 42 metres.
The submarine can take three people to a depth of 100
metres, and Sofia is the first superyacht under 50 metres
to carry such a craft. It requires a unique launching
system that fully meets Lloyd’s and MCA compliance. The
sub is set into the platform and when launched it leaves
space for a huge beach club – or an exceptional area for
diving and watersports – with the crane serving as a

mooring pontoon for the tenders. ‘Using a submarine of
this sophistication entails other challenges,’ says Sofia’s
captain, Ian Westman. ‘We’ve trained two crewmembers
as pilots and the rest as surface officers in order to ensure
smooth topside ops. You cannot simply splash a four-and-
a-half-tonne craft into the water and go for a spin beneath
the waves. From pre-dive preparations to the moment
when the sub is back on board Sofia takes around six
hours. Precautions include 24-hour global assistance for
hyperbaric chambers, three backups to the primary
system and 96 hours of emergency operation. This craft is
like an aeroplane in its complexity, and feels like one
when you’re sitting in her.’
Three years after the decision to install a bigger
submarine, the owner is justifiably proud of the outcome.
‘I knew these were major revisions but René van der
Velden and the naval architects at Stolk Marimecs were up
to the task,’ he says. ‘Crucially, Moonen proved its flexibility
and uncompromising commitment to fulfill client wishes.
The yard handled my complex modifications with minimal
delay, while still creating a yacht with maximum safety,
functionality and redundancy. What’s more, Moonen
successfully implemented new building techniques, new
materials and top-of-the-line equipment and systems.
There is much more to Sofia than her submarine alone.’
Indeed there is. Her systems are state-of-the-art, from
the integrated bridge to the Kaleidescape entertainment
system with multi-room control via iPad (including
lighting, blinds and climate), and from the thermal
camera on the top mast and military-grade satcom to the
man-overboard system with personal tracking.

clad in stainless steel and backlit marble. Art-Line Interior
Design created an overall style featuring oak veneers,
zebrano wood, a composite stone called Concetto and
off-white and camel-coloured materials. Horizontal
detailing abounds with lots of complex wooden ribs. And
this was clearly a massive project for the stainless-steel
experts from Moonen’s sister company Inoferro.
The pièce de résistance is the roomy main deck
saloon. Here, Concetto stone with translucent
backlighting, as well as sculptural foam elements,
encased in backlit coconut paper, conceal air outlets and
engine room ventilation shafts without hindering airflow
from hidden air-conditioning units. The layout of the
atrium further enhances the sense of spaciousness. With
the bridge deck lobby on the port side, entering the
main deck on the starboard side provides an unusual
aspect compared to more traditional layouts.
‘One of the things that made this main deck
arrangement possible was our research into fire
partitions, which have been made virtually invisible on
the main deck,’ says Art-Line’s Frank Pieterse. ‘Sofia is
the first boat on which we have managed to integrate
the fire screen into the ceiling, which is why the staircase
area and lounge are so open. This is an essential
technical issue when a client desires open spaces. The
yard had to convince the class societies that this solution
would work, and the owner was very supportive. All too
often, owners buying a larger boat go for more of the
same on a larger scale, but this was certainly not the
case on Sofia.’
Another enhancement that adds to the way the space
is experienced is found on the lower deck, where there
is no corridor, just the bottom of the staircase with four
immediately accessible cabins. ‘It looks simple and

symmetrical but it’s actually quite a feat to achieve the
right space division,’ says Pieterse, who, along with
colleague Marilyn de Vaal, also creates interiors for
luxury houses. ‘A boat should reflect the lifestyle of her
owners to the same extent as their onshore
accommodation,’ says Pieterse, adding that Sofia
successfully does this. The full-beam master and four
guest suites are comfortable and cosy with the same
colour scheme and use of zebrano and oak.
The working areas aboard benefited from collaboration
between the designers and the crew. The galley was
developed in consultation with food service equipment
specialist Beuk Horeca International and Sofia’s chef. It
includes features such as drainage gutters, astutely
placed vents, soft-closing cupboards and an efficiently
designed food service line.
The yacht has the Mediterranean, the US East Coast
and The Bahamas on her cruising schedule, and Alaska
may also be on the horizon – including some glacial
water diving.
Meanwhile, the owner is already considering an even
larger project. With plans afoot to increase the building
capacity at Moonen, Sofia may not hold the size record
for long.
Accommodation includes a
master suite forward on the
main deck (top, opposite
and left) and four guest
cabins, each featuring
the use of horizontal

While some may say friends and business
don’t mix, it’s good to have a friend who has your back when that business is building superyachts.
Such is the case for the creators of 27.43 metre Tempus
Fugit, Rob Humphreys and Erbil Arkin, longtime friends
who joined forces to create a new breed of modern
classic sailing yachts designed by Humphreys Yacht
Design and built by Arkin Pruva Yachts in Turkey.
Their collaboration began with the intention to build a J
Class yacht for Arkin, a project that Humphreys relished as
a designer. But being the good friends they are, Humphreys
could give his honest input that based on Arkin’s desires for
comfortable cruising and generous accommodation, a J
simply wouldn’t satiate. So the J Class ambition was put on
hold, and instead of building one boat, the modern classic
Tempus class was born. Constructed in cold-moulded
mahogany, Tempus Fugit is the first Tempus 90 in a series
proposed to stretch to 38 and 46 metres with a choice of
sloop, cutter or ketch rigs. They can also be built in
aluminium, but Humphreys, who has designed everything
from steel to carbon yachts, doesn’t hide his preference for
building the Tempus class in wood. ‘People shy away from
it, largely because of not understanding,’ he says, ‘but with
wood epoxy, this boat is going to be around for 100 years.’
Humphreys built his first wood epoxy boat about 35
years ago, where he and Arkin met studying industrial
design. Back then, as the UK-based designer tells it, they
were more drinking than sailing mates. It would be decades
spent until that friendship would culminate in a yachting
collaboration. Arkin’s infatuation with the sea developed
more recently; he first became an avid charterer, then

‘Rob convinced me not to build a J Class knowing the
type of person I am and how I use my boats,’ Arkin says.
‘We decided on a modern classic design, which is wider
and has more cabin space. He [first designed] a 150-footer
(46 metre) for me, but at the same time, I acquired a
shipyard and we decided to produce a series of boats and
form a class. I was agreeable because I love beautiful
objects and here we are producing beautiful objects.’
Arkin is a prolific art collector and he describes building
Tempus Fugit as an extension of his passion for art.
Indeed, Tempus Fugit is undeniably striking, with low
deckhouses and long overhangs that recall a bygone era.
And her unpainted, varnished mahogany hull is beyond
eye catching – passersby actually stop on the quay to
touch the gleaming wood surface and ask if it’s a real
finish. She has garnered attention on the racecourse as
well, performing beyond expectation at the Les Voiles
de Saint-Tropez this past summer, holding her own in a
fleet of carbon high-performance sailing yachts.
‘I expected the modern classic fleet needing a class of its
own for us to make a show, but the really satisfying thing
for me is that we seem to be able to compete despite a
tough handicap,’ says Humphreys of Tempus Fugit’s
performance in Saint-Tropez, where she placed fifth in her
class that included top boats from Wally, Swan and Vitters.
But perhaps this is not surprising considering Humphreys’
One key requirement was
more spacious interior
volumes than similar
yachts of the classic era,
so she was designed with
a wider beam to become
a truly comfortable
cruiser-racer. Dining in the
saloon (above right) has
become a sumptuous
experience
‘We decided on a modern
classic design, which is wider and has more cabin space’
background designing high-profile racing yachts, from IOR
speedsters to Volvo Ocean racers. ‘She’s built to be a racer-
cruiser, but not at this level. It was maybe beyond the brief.
But I guess it’s hard to unlearn what you know from doing
performance-style boats over the years.’
Tempus Fugit carried a modest cruising inventory from
Doyle, making her results all the more impressive. She’s a
relatively simple boat to sail in that sense, with the only
choice being between the genoa or blade jib when
heading upwind and a single asymmetric to choose from
when sailing downwind. Her 422 square metre upwind
sail area and 708 square metre downwind sail area is
generous, with a good ratio to wetted surface area.
Beyond being a project between friends, Tempus Fugit is
also a family affair for Humphreys, with his son Tom
intrinsically involved in the design and his wife Jo
responsible for the interior. The most challenging design
aspect came in marrying the classically long overhangs
with a wider beam required for more spacious
accommodation. ‘The aim with the long overhangs is to
pick up more sailing length when heeled over and the
danger with adding relatively more beam is to roll the ends
out of the water, thus reducing the sailing length and speed
potential,’ says Humphreys. ‘To this end Tom ran an in-
depth CFD study so that we could investigate subtle hull
shape variations to maximise sailing length with heel.’
Another key to the performance potential of Tempus
Fugit is her generous stability, with nearly 40 per cent of
her 62 tonne displacement in her ballast keel giving her
exceptional sail-carrying power upwind. Tempus Fugit ’s
underbody and appendages are relatively conservative
to provide an easy groove and good directional stability,
She is striking, with low deckhouses and long overhangs that recall a bygone era. Her
unpainted, varnished mahogany hull is beyond eye catching
TEMPUS FUGIT
to maintain the slow, steady motions and feel that
characterise sailing on board a classic yacht. ‘We haven’t
tried to turn her into an illusion of the past – she’s built
with proper timber to RINA,’ Humphreys says.
Her solid construction can be felt while under way, and
seen inside, where her beautiful frames are on display per
the design brief. Arkin says: ‘If it’s steel or plastic, why
show it? But this is a work of art, so show what you can do!’
The predominantly teak interior feels light and airy
thanks in part to her white painted ceilings and Jo
Humphreys’ choice of light-coloured soft furnishings, all in
outdoor fabrics to make the crew’s lives easier. The interior
is classic and understated and ties in art deco styling with
light fixtures and wood-cut angles. Everything was done at
Arkin Pruva, from the woodwork to the stainless steel.
Arkin has calculated 75,000 man-hours were spent on
Tempus Fugit, but lauds the quality to labour-costs savings
of building in Turkey for her price tag of €4.2 million.
The yacht has an accommodation-rich layout, hosting
seven guests in four suites and three crew in two forward
cabins accessed from the deck and a passageway through
the guest en suite. Layouts of future Tempus 90s can be
customised based on owner preference.
Her large cockpits designed for entertaining belie her
cruising boat heritage, but at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez,
Tempus Fugit is ready to race. And so is Arkin, who has
been bitten by the racing bug. After a lay day, he is
looking forward to the last race of the regatta. ‘’I’m
worried it’s going to cost me millions!’ he jokes of his
newfound racing hobby, before saying he’d like to build
a 55 metre in the Tempus class for himself, and in wood.
Arkin does not seem a man to let life or grand ambitions
pass him by.
This is the sentiment behind the name Tempus Fugit,
Latin for ‘time flies’. The sands slip through the hourglass
faster than we can count, something yacht owners know
all too well. ‘Time flies, and people should realise that,’
says Arkin. ‘Do everything you need to do when you can
do it. Even building Tempus Fugit is one of my bucket list
items ticked off.’
Time flies when you’re having fun, and during Les
Voiles de Saint-Tropez, as Tempus Fugit charges ahead
of many of her high-performance competitors,
Humphreys and Arkin look like they are having all the
fun in the world. As a perfect photo finish, Tempus Fugit
crosses the line alongside the J Class fleet, proving she
can hold her own in looks against these classic beauties,
but stands out in a class all her own.
The yacht’s interior is
primarily of teak, a
handsome choice offset
by lighter furnishing
choices and ceilings
painted white. This theme
runs through to the
accommodation (opposite)
where plenty of space is
available for up to seven
guests and three crew
The single helm station offers clear sightlines for racing

Together with the varnished mahogany construction, her low deckhouses and long overhangs are reminiscent of classic sailers

The crew of Metolius
Six years of cruising have
taken Metolius to some of
the most stunning places
on the planet. Not bad for
what started as an almost
unplanned cruise to the
wilds of Alaska...

SOMETIMES IT TAKES NO MORE THAN A WHIM TO START AN ODYSSEY
TO SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST SPECTACULAR CRUISING GROUNDS
‘We were taking part in the St Barths Bucket in the spring of 2007,’ say the crew of the 25.5 metre Royal Huisman-
built superyacht Metolius, ‘and while racing with the owner on board,
we firmed up a plan to go to Alaska. Before that Metolius had been
doing the milk run – summer in the Mediterranean and winter in the
Caribbean – and this was the first anomaly! We thought that it was a
great idea, and said, “Let’s do it!” There was no real preparation, we just
latched on to the idea with the owner’s enthusiasm.’
With that, Metolius headed off the beaten track for nearly six years of
adventurous cruising – and has never looked back. ‘We realised that
summer just how much there was out there,’ the crew enthuse. ‘We
sailed thousands of miles, past so many ports. It was that first summer
in Alaska that changed the emphasis for the owner. Up till then
everything had been comfortable and predictable.’
Over the next five years, Metolius cruised through Panama to
Alaska, back through Panama and up to Maine, then across the
Atlantic to cruise the Greek islands, around the western fringe of the
UK, up to Scandinavia and back down to the Mediterranean. ‘We got
a good taste of Alaska, and the next question had been, “Where do we
go from here?”’ say the crew. ‘How could we get the same taste, and
what would be the next opportunity to feel like this, to see this part
of the world? We had come away from Alaska in awe of what we
found and did there.’
In the first part of our two-part exploration of the voyages of Metolius,
the crew describe her long cruise through Panama, up to Alaska, down
through Baja California and back through Panama. It just goes to show
that sometimes an impulse decision – and the freedom a yacht provides
– can open doors to an unexpected taste of adventure…

Alaska – Summer 2007
We arrived in the Pacific NW after a long delivery through the Panama
Canal, stopping at the San Blas islands on the Caribbean side and the
peninsula of Baja California in Mexico, before making final preparations
in Seattle. The last time Metolius was in the Pacific she had sailed
around the Horn with her first owners. They took her down to the
Antarctic so we knew we had a safe and dependable yacht.
We cruised up the coast of British Columbia loosely following the
route of Capt Vancouver. We had incredible encounters with wildlife in
Poison Cove in the Tongass national forest on Chicagof Island, watching
a mother grizzly play with her two young cubs. This bear had the most
amazing coat of black and brown and huge wonderful ears – just like
Yoda! A pack of wolves were darting about in the shallows and there
were fat lazy black bears in all directions. Seals lined the rocks waiting
for the salmon to swim upstream.
We spent time in Sawyer Glacier on Tracy Arm to avoid the cruise
ships and tourist boats that frequent Glacier Bay National Park. We
could hear the glacier calving all through the night at the anchorage and
even made frozen margaritas with glacier ice we collected. At the larger
southern arm of the Sawyer glacier a very large (think house size) berg
calved into the sea whilst we were nearby. A large standing wave rushed
along the fjord and reminded us that we were in one of nature’s most
volatile environments. We retreated back to the safety of a muddy
anchorage and watched icebergs flow out on the tide.
Of the three months we spent in Alaska our favourite daily routine
revolved around fishing. We would travel in the mornings then drop
anchor and fish for salmon and halibut in the afternoons. Once we
cleaned the fish we would use the fish heads for the crab pot and
inevitably haul up enough Dungeness crab the next morning to feed the
whole crew twice over. We would cook the crab for lunch while under
way to the next fishing spot. Given this all occurred six years ago our
overwhelming recollection of this time is of how completely remote we
were – going several days without seeing another trace of humanity, no
boats, buildings or roads, no planes overhead, no power lines, just an
expanse of beautiful earth in all directions. There were a couple of really
cool whale experiences – we were chased out of an anchorage by an
Orca. Two humpbacks played chicken with the boat and waved with
their pectoral fins as we sailed by. We even had guests flown in to the
middle of nowhere by float plane, which was pretty cool.
Above and top right: the
mouth of the Sawyer Glacier
was a highlight of the cruise.
The water in the glacial
fjords is an incredibly vibrant
colour. Right and below: The
crab pot and halibut jigs
brought fresh seafood to the
galley on a daily basis. The
crew took their share of
salmon too – when the black
bears would allow it...

ER ‘We had read of the long history this bay had with exploitation
of the oceans, evident in the small bars and cafes with whale vertebrae seats and raised flower beds made from whale jawbones’
Baja California – 2008We cruised the Baja peninsula on either side of the summer in Alaska.
On the way north we stopped at some incredible anchorages on the
west coast and entered the Sea of Cortez to the eastern side on our
way south.
North going
The most memorable anchorage was Magdalena Bay. We had read of
the long history this bay had with exploitation of the oceans, being an
old whaling station. This was evident in the small bars and cafés with
whale vertebrae seats and raised flower beds that were made from
whale jawbones. Sadly the broken-down whaling station of a previous
generation had been resurrected into a modern, and alarmingly
efficient, shark finning port. We saw racks and racks of fins drying in
the sun with little evidence of the sharks’ corpses being used for
anything else. Most likely they were dumped at sea. It was a haunting
place, although we made some great hikes into the expansive dunes.
South going
We stopped again in Magdalena Bay to meet the whale conservationists
who monitor the bay, as it is a mating/social destination for the whales.
It was cool to see and support the efforts of those now protecting the
whales. We based ourselves in La Paz for the cruise of the Sea of Cortez.
Our draught of 3.8 metres meant we could not get all that far north due
to shoaling of the sea floor. We spent a lot of time ashore eating fish
tacos and buying shrimp from roadside vendors. There is a really cool
type of art where coloured plastic beads are put around skulls so one
of those made its way on board. We hung out at the Hotel California in
Todos Santos and spent time surfing in the Pacific.

Panama – Spring 2007 & Winter 2008Leaving the Caribbean winter season behind we passed into the Pacific
via the Panama Canal. On our way we took the time to visit the San Blas
Islands. This was the starting point for the more adventurous itinerary
that was to follow over the next six years. It was probably the first
significant deviation from the usual Caribbean-Med route and in keeping
with the adventurous spirit of the original owners, who designed and
built Metolius to sail around the world – which they did in some style.
We met the Kuna indians, who paddled out and sold us molas (colourful
local embroidery panels). Our arrival went largely unnoticed except for
one island, the locals of which welcomed us with a frenzy of waving arms
and shouting. Some guys were even raising their kids above their heads to
catch our attention. Turns out there was an uncharted reef in the pass and
they certainly saved us from bumping into the coral. As this island seemed
to have the most character we stuck with it and anchored a little way off.
Everybody came out to see us and sell molas. The toddlers seemed to be
completely perplexed by all that was going on and we got some good
shots of small confused Indians. We met a really cool local guy called
Justin who became our buddy/guide and would barter with the islanders
for us. At one point we seemed to be charging every cell phone on the
island in exchange for fresh bread in the mornings – it was a wonderful
exchange of old and new. He invited us to his home, which revealed very
few material possessions but a gaggle of warm, friendly and excitable kids.
They took us around their island to meet their playmates, the pig and take
photos. A local craftsman was building a new canoe.
One particularly memorable moment among many was a hike to
meet our guides’ relatives who lived in a jungle village. We found a very
large tree and posed as explorers.
On the way back to Maine we stopped in Portobello. This is the old
Spanish gold port that was sacked by the British pirate Henry Morgan.
After this we anchored off a completely deserted tropical island with a
small barrier reef. It was the only thing on the horizon somewhere off
the coast of Nicaragua in Central America. We spent the afternoon
beachcombing and snorkelling and took home some conch shells that
were buried in the sand.

Inukshuk: performance charter with huge exterior spacesEDITOR’S CHOICE
Built at Baltic Yachts with naval
architecture by German Frers, the 32.61
metre Inukshuk is a high-performance
sailing yacht with vast, open deck areas,
a stylish design and a telescopic lifting
keel for performance cruising.
With accommodation for eight guests in
four cabins with the ability to extend to 10
guests, Inukshuk has space for four crew
and is cruising the Caribbean this winter.
A retractable bimini over the cockpit
gives a versatile aspect to the area,
while her main saloon is attractive and
spacious. Inukshuk’s guest cabins are
decorated in a simple style with design
elements that are reminiscent of her
Inuit name, which indicates a form of
sign communication by sculpture.
Her interior features limed oak and
driftwood in metallic grey hues, and
accents of decorative tile and natural
stone. An office is adjacent to the master
and VIP suites forward, while two twin
suites are located aft of the main saloon.

● Charter yachts come in all sizes and, of course,
carry any number of crew. At the lower end, some
yachts operate nicely with just a captain and a chef, who
also doubles as a deckhand and is often the significant
other of the captain.
At the other end of the scale, some of the very big
charter yachts have crews as large as 50, although that
starts edging into the cruise ship category. For the most
part, yachts in the popular mid-sized charter range
(30 to 60 metres) will carry six to 15 crew members.
While all crew are trained to be knowledgeable and
interchangeable in many roles, the crew will fall into
five basic categories and a wise charterer should
understand what each can (and can’t) do on a charter.

Indonesia is still a rather new
area for yachts to charter. However,
having been a popular tourist spot for
many years now, it is clear that the
market for luxury yachting has plenty
of potential there.
Indonesia is a sprawling country
comprising more than 17,000 islands
spanning an area of 735,358 square
miles, making it an ideal cruising
ground. Some, of course, are more
inhabited than others but each offers
something new, exotic and exciting to
its visitors.
One day you could be visiting the
temples of Bali and the next cruising
through the Ring of Fire, or past steep
rainforest cliffs with the jungle canopy
looming overhead fringed by pristine
beaches in the Raja Ampat islands off
West Papua.
One of Indonesia’s biggest selling
points is the diving, with Raja Ampat in
particular ranking at the top of many
people’s world best dive sites. The
area is blessed with year-round warm
temperatures and very clear waters,
and the Raja Ampat archipelago boasts
the greatest marine biodiversity on
Earth – close to 550 species of coral
and more than 1,300 species of fish
have been recorded here. Many of the
islands are uninhabited allowing any
explorer to enjoy an undisturbed
paradise above or below the water.
Jakarta or Bali are the most
accessible airports from international
flights, and from here you can take an
internal flight to your start point. The
use of a private jet is the best way to
connect to your yacht if she is moored
in one of the more remote islands.
Offering a practically endless series of archipelagos, Indonesia could be the next big destination for luxury yacht cruising

Rise of the Roman empire
For several years, our annual Global Order Book (this
year’s is now on boatinternational.com) of yachts
under construction has been Roman territory. It’s not
so much that Italy has more superyachts in-build than
other countries, as the faintly embarrassing margin by
which it trounces them.
This year’s stats are in line with the lead it has held
for a few years. As of December 2013 The Netherlands
had 65 yachts under construction, Turkey 70 and Italy
274. It is worth adding that while Germany still wins on
the average length of the yachts it has in-build, Italy’s
figure is not just a stack of the smallest superyachts.
The 2013 figure divides into 83 24-30 metres, 94 at
31-40 metres, 53 at 41-50 metres, 19 at 51-60 metres,
15 at 61-70 metres and 10 at 70 metres-plus.
First success
‘In Italy the superyacht industry really took off during
the [boom period] of 2003, with the highest peak
between 2005 and 2007,’ says Luca Boldrini, sales
director of CRN, the Ferretti Group’s custom
superyacht brand.
Since then the Italian industry has developed into
a varied landscape. ‘The way I see it, we have

For the latest news go to boatinternational.com/news
three main categories of builders,’ says Alberto Perrone Da
Zara, Benetti sales director. ‘The big companies with lots of
people and overheads – we are one. Then you have small
boutique builders with a small staff, that work only with
subcontractors. They have done it for a long time, they have
a small, loyal clientele and can survive with a yacht every year
and a half – for example, Codecasa, a spectacular builder. Then
there’s the dying leftovers of the crisis, the people that sell stuff
super low. They build with subcontractors that charge very little
and provide very little. Luckily there aren’t many and around the
world the tendency is going towards reliable products.’
The right price
The pragmatic reason for Italy’s success is its ability to offer
yachts that often cost significantly less than those from top
Northern European yards. ‘Some are commanding a high price –
I’m happy for them because it’s absolutely out of the world,’ says
Da Zara. ‘There are people who are willing to pay that – just as
there are people willing to buy a Pagani car. We cater to a larger
portion who are happier with our figures.’
But, vitally, Italy is also perceived as
offering higher quality than nations such
as Turkey. ‘I lived in Turkey for two years
and built boats,’ says Da Zara. ‘Turkish
labour is very good – they are quick,
passionate about their job. When I was
there I tried to sell boats, showing the quality, but people reply,
“It’s a Turkish boat” – regardless. You build a boat in Italy and it is
a factor that it comes with a “made in Italy” label. That has an
unbelievable value.’ Italy’s ability to offer, as Boldrini puts it, ‘a
boat with fewer expenses than a Northern European yacht,
with similar quality’, allows it to dominate the substantial
middle portion of the superyacht market.
Italian characteristics
But there may also be more subtle contributing factors to
Italy’s success as a yacht-building nation. ‘Many clients have
said to me that [Italians] know we are in the leisure business,’
says Boldrini, adding that he’s booked the odd skiing holiday
for clients. ‘In reality when you build a megayacht, the client
wants also to have fun and in Italy, as a culture we tend to be
more interactive with clients. We try to establish a personal
relationship, which helps the leisure part.’
Da Zara believes that Italians are also inclined to offer
greater flexibility than Northern Europeans. ‘We try to please
everybody, we change things when it’s way too late,’ he says.
‘That’s something that has an enormous value.’
But what Italians are best known for is style – and this too has
a strong pull. ‘Our clients like the styling of Italian boats and the
layouts,’ says Boldrini. ‘They are a bit more up to date, more
intriguing and less traditional than many others.’
There is also, fashionably, an artisanal cache to Italian builds.
‘Most of the companies we use are within 90 kilometres from the
shipyard,’ says Da Zara. ‘They’re brilliant with wood, with marble,
they might appear to be a little chaotic, disorganised, but they do
a brilliant job and quite obviously at a good price.’
Taming the chaos
Historically, this ‘chaos’ has been seen as the flip-side to the
flexibility and artistic touch that Italy brings. ‘In Northern Europe
they in many ways are more efficient than us – regretfully our
kind of brain comes with certain pros and cons, and theirs comes
with other ones,’ says Da Zara.
Francesco Carbone, vice chairman and sales director at Admiral
Tecnomar, believes addressing this is the next challenge for the
country’s builders. ‘Yards have to become industrial, I don’t want to
say professional – industrial is the word. The professionals are
there. The technical know-how is high. It’s the management, the
organisation, that’s something that is still missing. This affects the
cost of the product,’ he says. When times were good, this way of
operating worked because as Carbone puts it, ‘the banks were
financing and at those prices the yards did not need to get
organised properly – they still had margins. Now things have
changed and so they have to become more efficient. This crisis is
encouraging Italian builders to work on this and raise the quality.’
Boldrini also believes that the global financial crisis has been a
catalyst for improvement. ‘When you have a moment of crisis you
can stay in the house and cry, or you can try to implement the things
that you should have changed before,’ he says. ‘The crisis gave us
the opportunity to create new organisational structures, more
conscious of quality and so on.’ All of those interviewed here believe
their recent success is partly down to this. Boldrini gives a down-to-
earth example of the changes. ‘We have stationed people on each
level of a vessel in-build, to clean all day,’ he says. ‘With time the
cleaner became friends with the workers and so they started to
respect his job and create less dirt. In a clean mechanical area the
workers tend to deliver better quality, better implementation.’
The right support
The Italian government shook the country’s superyacht market in
2012 when it proposed a new tax on yachts, modified to apply only
to Italian owners. ‘The damage was done,’ says Carbone. ‘They
got yacht owners worried about having or showing a yacht.’
Boldrini also points to the aggressive way that VAT checks are
being implemented in high-end resorts, as discouraging Italians
from leisure activities. Neither, however, is likely to be detrimental
to the Italian industry since one of its strengths is the international
nature of its clientele. More important for the industry is that the
government nurtures its future. ‘In Italy businesses are mostly
small or medium sized, very skilled in specific areas,’ says Boldrini.
‘The “made in Italy” label is created by these small companies, so
the aim of the next government should be to safeguard this, to
create tax breaks or financing to make sure these things will not
die, but be passed from father to son – and keep creating business.’
Perhaps that’s how, little by little, you build an empire.

For the latest news go to boatinternational.com/news
Dahm International has signed the 34.8m classic sailing yacht
Aschanti IV of Vegesack for sale.
A staysail schooner, she was built by Germany’s Burmester yard in
1954 as Aschanti of Saba, with a steel hull and teak superstructure to a
design by Henry Gruber. A thorough refit by Lürssen in 1994 saw the
installation of up-to-date technology including hydraulic winches, and
two 36.5 metre spruce masts were stepped. In 2009, a further refit
gave her a new interior in mahogany by US designer Dee Robinson.
Regularly updated, Aschanti IV of Vegesack is a veteran of the
world’s classic yacht regattas, and she has completed several
transoceanic journeys. Importantly, she carries a complete set
of spare parts to enable her long distance cruising.
Accommodation is for six guests in a double master suite with en
suite facilities and two twin cabins sharing a bathroom. Under power,
a 504hp MTU diesel engine gives Aschanti IV of Vegesack a range of
2,500 nautical miles at nine knots.
Lying in Mallorca, Spain, the yacht is asking €4,950,000.

102ft “MOONBEAM
OF FIFE III” 1903. The story of the Moonbeams began in 1858 with Moonbeam I &II. In 1902 Charles Plumtree Johnson, an eminent London lawyer, decided to go back to William Fife for the creation of his 3rd yacht taking into account his navigation projects as he wanted to race under the new RORC tonnage which included sailing ships with fitted-out interiors. Moonbeam III was launched in 1903, hull n° 491 to leave the Fife yard. The result was a magnificent yacht which has now become one of the most successful classic yachts in the world. Her streamlined shape and large sail surface area both make for an extremely elegant and unique yacht.
82ft “ATAO” 2006. Built by JFA Yachts, France. She is a beautiful modern classic centreboard sloop, with a stunning classic look and modern requirements. Her finely crafted woodwork hides many powerful innovations and reveals astonishing sailing performances.
The view from the deckhouse is unparalleled and uninterrupted, looking forward over the deck and into the cockpit and this is clearly the central point of this beautiful yacht.
100ft Classic MY “SPREZZATURA”1971. Extensive refit in 2013. A classical, yet freshly-styled gentleman’s motor yacht, with opulent woodwork and furnishings. She has unusually spacious staterooms and attached bathrooms, a very large main saloon, a superb forward main deck dining saloon, an enormous top sun-deck and top-deck dining area and much more. She has recently benefitted from a one-year refit costing considerably more than US$1-million.
Commuter 50 “ALLEGIANCE” 2004. Inspired by the Camper and Nicholson plans from 1925 althoud updated by builder, she is a true, classic gentleman’s yacht in the style of power boats from the beginning of the last century. In the spirit of tradition she has been constructed with quality materials, but with modern techniques.

The flow of the yacht with three entrance/exits, an on-deck saloon and a raised interior saloon, plus 4 staterooms aft for owner and guests offer the maximum living potential for a yacht that can be handled by only four crew.
