At the beginning was a phone call of one of my broker colleagues telling me that he found a series of 5 swedish ex-navy vessels for sale - wanting them as work-ships for sea-platforms or other heavy duty stuff and reselling them technically refitted for a small margin.

Talking about it with friends of the yachting industry an idea was born > MY LIN NEA.

I set up a team of interior designers, architects, technicians and a well equipped top shipyard to create a superyacht based on these warship hulls. The plan is to convert these vessels into private luxury yachts by spending much less than others do.

So what makes this idea of an extraordinary 40+ meter motor yacht so unique?

YES-yachts.com presents MY LIN NEA, an amazing conversion-project to realize just as the future owner likes.

See what we are planning to make out of a 1980ties fast military vessel full of history > a brand new stunning luxury yacht!

The designers are following absolutely new tracks. Trust on its heavy build hull, relax in our luxurious interiors and look at its fresh & high style exterior lines.So let’s take a closer look to the varieties of concepts we offer to the new owners. We are willing to realize one of these 5 vessels just for you!

would dream about.

“Working in the design and architecture team of MY LIN NEA is a challenging target due to switch between war and luxury use. Our design visions had to fit the fast vessel lines. So the name LIN NEA was born.”

The exterior: twin powerwaking up the windsBy Roberto BarileThe refit project SY ADAMS is based on a very solid steel hull, fully cleaned, overhauled and finished to perfection.The big bulb is providing top stability even in strong waters and winds.

This ketch sailing yacht is going to offer the new owner an all round sailing experience - top sailing performance combined with a lot of living space inside and outside. Fine teak deckings are used to cover all horizontal surfaces of the vessel.

The unique wide salon windows give this owners’ yacht a special type of style, timeless pure design.

Both masts are strongly built and will be facing the forces of the elements to perfection. A Ketch shaped sailing yacht is always very unique in terms of high performance and top endurance.

23 meters a size where the new owner can still pick if he/her wants to sail sailing yacht ADAM with friends and family or if the owner likes to have her operated by a professional crew - so just chilling and enjoying the winds.

Sailing yacht - full refit!78 footer ADAM from St. Petersburg RussiaBy Marlo PlateYES-yachts.com presents SY ADAM, a 23meter sailing yacht and its prime vision of a complete REFIT in dark or light wood... just as you like!

The future owner has the choice how to realize this amazing refit project.The sailing yacht SY ADAM has been built in the 1990ties at a St. Petersburg shipyard (Russia) and is a really solid steel hull.

At the time she has been fully finished and was sailing for several years. The former owner decided to start a refit which sadly could not be completed. He originally started the refit in 2006 and passed away during the first actions of the refit. “A mysterious end of a great vision - so let’s finish to grind this diamond!” says Roberto Barile, chairman and founder of the globally operating superyacht brokerage company YES- Yachting Exclusive Services with headquarters in Duesseldorf, Germany.

Now she is in a spanish ship-repair-yard which is highly specialized in first class builds and refits of all kinds of boats and superyachts. The sailing yacht ADAM has been completely emptied out in terms of interior and exterior items, walls and most of the installation. The basis for a full refit/rebuild has been realized. So she is ready for a completely new interior design - even with a new layout and with room for all kinds of amenities the new owner likes to implement.

Roberto Barile decided to pick this marvelous yacht for a sales special. We

make your sailing dreams come true!The below mentioned price is including highest standard interiors (1st class owner’s quality) with absolutely amazing finishings.

But first Marlo Plate inspected the yacht onsite in the Barcelona area and provided the basic information, photo shots and the full history of this spectacouls sailing yacht.

So YES-yachts.com and the ship- and refit-yard are looking for the potential new owner to realize the full refit vision within highest standards and best on board equipment. “It's definitely going to be an owner's version with relevant high quality finish and layout! - We want to show off with the very best of the performance we can provide” says the owner of the spanish refit-yard.

See the pictures of the vessel's current status in the attached brochure (just follow the link at the end of this article). You will also find some more colored sketches in detail and renderings of the designer’s vision how exactly this sailing yacht it is going to be finished.

Talking about the time frame of this project the refit-yard, YES-yachts’ naval architects and our interior design team are willing to fulfill YOUR SAILING DREAMS in less than a year bringing her back again to the very top of her sailing life!

The refit has been calculated in full in order to give you a prime selection plan.

The final sales price does include the interior furniture as in the attached drawings. So the new owner will be able to choose the type of sails he wants and start his sailing tour in summer 21012. The yard is only waiting for the new owner’s choices, wishes, visions, preferences and needs - so they can decide on the type of finishing and setup of the vessel.

Proposal: Dark wood salon design“Bring her back to the very top of her sailing life!”

The here shown renderings of our latest sailing refit project SY ADAM are based on the idea to offer two types of color varieties, a light wood interior for a stylish light and wide cabin feeling or the darker wood variety for a touch of classic modern sailing yacht style.

The dark wood styling is a tribute to the ‘bounty times’ of sailing. The wood can be finished in high glossy or mat color finish. The overall design line will nevertheless be brand-new, top modern, very functional and contemporary.

The light wood styling is a tribute to the straight lines of nowadays high style penthouse furnitures in one of the fashion metropolis of the 21st century. Also functional and unique in use of open spaces.

Choose your guest cabin with double beds, single beds or additional pullman beds.

Daylight is the mission! Relax on the real wood teak deck and after a day full of sunshine you do not have to miss the sunlight in your saloon, too. The wide daylight flooded salon is going to be the space where to socialize and sit with friends and/or crew after a day full of sailing or just chilling in a romantic bay anchored. We keep the radiation outside with a very special glass in built sun protection.

Get a closer look while following the below mentioned link to the full brochure and fix an appointment with us at Barcelona to visit the yacht in person.

Realize your dreams for a fraction of the normal costs for a 23 meter sailing yacht.

With MotherShip by MemberShip to OwnerShipA fancy new concept makes your yacht come true... quicker, bigger and more streamlined than it ever did on your own.by Uwe Pordzik

In the beginning, there was a classical concept of business-administration, which is taught at universities until today, because it is bearing advantages for all people involved, without any costs of finance: Imagine, you wanted to buy a yacht for about 4 Millions. Imagine further, you could save 400.000 each year (the interest is compensating inflation). After ten years, you get your yacht without any loan.

Now imagine, there were nine other people like you, everyone with the same goal. Each of them is putting his 400.000 (EUR /USD, no matter) into the pool, and the first yacht can be bought - at once. The second

after one year, and now just five share one yacht - at already two destinations. Even ten years passed, none of you is disadvantaged, compared to doing it alone - and not a single cent of loan was needed.

Synergy ONE: You can choose amongst ten destinations, without wasting time or gasoline, no matter, how far the distances are. But still, the expenses are private.

So imagine, you built TWO ownerships of the ten buddies involved, two times five. Now, each of you had to save 800.000 a year, which is still just one fifth of the target price.

ADVANTAGE: From the very first beginning, just five share in one yacht and you may choose between two destinations, at once. The turbo boost makes the system run quicker. In the end, five owners share into five yachts after five years - to be exact: after FOUR years, already. STILL, the expenses are PRIVATE.

So, the two HolderShips needed an OrganizationShip, which coordinates the commercial chartering amongst each other. The first, fully functional H2O-Molecule is borne.

Now, this is fully tax-deductible!

Many concepts have been constructed, to make private yachting a tax-deductible business; most have failed. An European Council Regulation delivers a norm, which makes „same rules for everyone“, no matter in which European country he is settled or his yacht is flagged. Combined with the synergetic effects of classical ownerships, some new horizons do appear at the sky of yachting - even beyond the EU, like here in Dubai.

The job is not done by tax-engineering only.

Add some financial engineering and you are in heaven.

Indeed, MotherShip has to deliver services far beyond the bare tax-engineering, to make this yacht-dream-come-true. Like an automobile-club or a dating-base, it has to submit a database to bring owners with compatible goals together. To do that all around the world, modern means of communication are needed:

Not everyone is at the Monaco yacht show at the same time to make up his mind for a multi-million-dollar decision.

To exploit new destinations, the team of MotherShip is traveling around the world: Montenegro is a new place-to-go!

ADVANTAGE: Choose amongst the finest destinations in the world.

Of course, the concept is not restricted to yachts alone: In Acapulco, Mexico, a new marina is developed in combination with the restoration of an

art-deco-hotel. You can build sandwiches of a yacht in between a birth and a luxury-apartment.

To put your focus on some of the numerous other advantages, just keep in mind, that not one single cent of loan has been involved up to now.

Some financial engineering added, you can imagine, that you get a loan of two millions to buy your yacht. What

you keep is the cash as an additional security. Imagine, you payed some six percent for the loan -

what we know, is possible - to get some twelve percent for your assets -

what we know, is possible, too.

Thus, every yacht is coming up for a part of its maintenance costs.

ADVANTAGE:Every yacht is coming up for its

expenses. At least, tanks and fridges are

loaded, no matter, what times of global crises we have.

And one day, you will remember: It all started with a membership in some unique, global yacht-club. With MotherShip by MemberShip to OwnerShip!

Of course, this concept is working also for a single owner of a single yacht.

Destinations around the world, reached by air-speed.

To enjoy yacht-live, there, in slow-mo.

..as for nature light has also an important meaning for privacy: no light no life. Just imagine a dark winter day without having appropriate lighting or imagine a dark yacht cabin or house with no light after a long and stressful working period.

But light is not only lighting, it is mood and a feel-good factor too. However, only healthy light can contribute according to a well-being. Disruptive and flickering

light is rather unpleasant and makes you sick, e.g. bright white fluorescent tubes. Energy saving lamps have a certain long start time until they generate sufficient brightness. They are highly toxic due to their mercury content and still give off a harmful radiation. This is also not a solution especially just for living rooms and households it definitely joined the stylish interiors of nowadays modern yachts.

The days of the conventional light bulb, as it is popularly called, are over. More than 90 % of its energy is converted into heat. Due to the very less efficiency the operation, sale and manufacture is mostly prohibited. Gradually, the bulbs will disappear from the shelves. Similarly, metal halide lamps and energy inefficient halogen lamps are things of the past.

Low power consumption, long life cycle, small mounting spaces and endless ways to decorate interiors and exteriors ..only a few of the benefits for LED lights

LED-interior lights a tribute to consumption & life cycle By Marion Callies

“Lorem Ipsum Dolor Set Ahmet In Condinmentum. Nullam Wisi Acru Suscpit Consectetuer viviamus Lorem Ipsum Dolor Set Ahmet. Lorem Ipsum Dolor Set Ahmet In Wisi Acru Suscpit Consectetuer viviamus.”

Leo Praesen

Due to the ever-increasing energy costs and particularly to make a contribution to environmental protection it is probably the most sensible solution: the light-emitting diode, shortly LED.

Environmentally friendly, pollution-neutral, energy efficient, without release of harmful UV radiation and with very little heat, it is almost the ideal solution to replace all conventional bulbs. These LED bulbs have a tremendous shelf life, which can last more than up to 25 times than conventional bulbs.

The advantages of LEDs can not be compared to any other available light sources in the market. It's not just about power saving but the replacement of defective bulbs could also cause large costs. "More than 40,000 hours of life” has the LED. The acquisition of LED lighting is supposedly expensive. But this pays for itself in savings in lamp replacement, even without considering the cost of craft! " LED could save up to 90 % of electricity compared to halogen lamps and compared with fluorescent lights it is still more than up to 60 %.

In commercial areas it has already begun its triumphant entry, while the household yet responded sluggishly to the new technology.

LED - A light emitting diode (also luminescent diode, light-emitting diode English, German light-emitting diode, LED) is an electronic semiconductor device. Flows through the diode in the forward direction, it emits light, infrared radiation (as infrared light emitting diode) or by ultraviolet radiation with a semiconductor material and the doping-dependent wavelength.

Unlike incandescent light emitting diodes are no heat lamps. They emit light in a limited spectral

range, the light is nearly monochrome. Therefore, they are in use as signal light very efficiently compared to other light sources, which have filtered out to obtain a monochromatic colour characteristics of color filters for most of the spectrum.

LEDs could not be established for all colors of the visible spectrum for a long time. The use of green LEDs for traffic signals was not possible due to the lack of technology required for the blue-green light color. The mass production of GaN-based blue LEDs began in 1993.

LEDs are usually capped with polymers. For high-intensity LEDs glass or metal housing are used. Metal casing, usually made of aluminum are used mainly for heat dissipation. The plastic body is often shaped like a lens and above is crystal. He sets the critical angle of total reflection pools and thus reduced the power emitted radiation to a smaller, definable spatial angle. Glass has a generally higher refractive index than plastic and synthetic resin and therefore it can be more concentrated (through the use of glass lenses), the rays of the LED.

What are the alternatives?LEDs as a replacement for bulbs aboardBy Werner CalliesThere are big differences in. The low-cost LED (light emitting diodes) lamp which you can grab at discount stores or hardware stores can not compete with the efficacy of high-quality optoelectronic LED technology. The difference is easily recognisable. While discount deals are just bright and give off almost no light compared to the high-quality LED. The light is different. The high-quality LED illuminates objects even in a far distance.Also known are the bright white lights that illuminate the winter time, some Christmas trees or balconies, the comfort of warm light, however, remains on the sidelines. In the meanwhile any light colour can be produced by the LED, from the cozy warm tone to white light, everything is possible. In general it is always worth a comparison.

The main objects of our German collaborating light design company is to explain the enormous savings potential and of course all the other advantages of LED Lighting to yachting people. This is in most cases an easily switch of the lightning without the use of equity, while the reconstruction can be financed by the monthly energy saving and replacement costs. This means none or almost no additional cost for the yacht owner. In a short time, the issue has paid off. Likewise we advise private clients, especially when halogen spotlights are used.

Other advantages are the lack of heat. It is noticeably cooler in premises which are illuminated with LED technology. Smaller air condition systems are needed. This course contributes to a longer retention of guests in the salon or cabins of the yacht. LED's have no harmful ultraviolet radiation, which is e. g. especially noticeable in the textile sector and walk-in closets. Clothes are no longer fading because of UV light.

The safety aspect is not to be ignored! Due to the low power consumption not only the interior, but also the exterior of a yacht can be lit longer if the electricity costs are reduced by up to 80 %.Long battery time everyone can supply.

Today when everybody is increasingly concerned about energy saving, environmental protection and savings

solutions in the financial sector, our collaborating light design company, with its concept, really found a market niche. Accentual Light & Solution manufacture their own product, they know the market and they can advise accordingly.

A big advantage for the customer: Generally advice takes place directly at the customer's yacht, home, business place or in the premises, because the required light intensity and light colour should be tried there, where it should be used. It is not necessarily successful to choose the lighting only on a basis of technical data or measured values.

At least the interesting design varieties of different LED lights should be mentioned. Massive aluminum, acts as a heat sink. The lamps do not discolor even after long use.

"The lighting with LED technology is increasingly gaining ground,"

Marion Callies

joined the baptism of "Celebrity Silhouette" informing all visitors @ Hamburg

The cruise ship provides travelers the “iLounge” equipped with 26 MacBooks for receiving and sending emails, browsing and image editing.

Celebrity silhouette is no. four of five cruise ships in the American shipping company in the so-called Celebrity Cruises Solstice (Solstice) class. The gleaming white ship, 315 meters (1033ft) long and 37 meters (121ft) wide, was baptized in the “Hafen City” of Hamburg.

On 21 July 2011 a couple of thousand people came to this special event and were entertained by a full-day program. The actual baptism took place on board and by exclusive invitation only, but also all the visitors who stayed on land could be pampered with the amenities that the Celebrity Silhouette can offer.

Especially for this the “Hafen City” was furnished with a chill-out lounge.Whether on the specially created lawn or sandy beach, you had the full view of the luxury liner, including massage therapists, or enjoying the fitness program.

For those who wanted to look at the port of Hamburg and the Elbe from the similar height of the upper deck, this was possible on the largest portable ferris wheel in the world. From 60 meters, there was also a breathtaking view of downtown.

Every hour complimentary tickets were raffled off for this special tour.Celebrity Cruises offers their passengers aboard of Silhouette the use of a very exclusive iLounge.

There, the crusaders get their mail, surf the web and edit their photos on 26 MacBooks with professional software before returning home.

During the baptismal events Comspot was present with a booth in the info-lounge. In the pavilion the on land remaining visitors got an impression of the Apple world and received extensive information on various Apple products such as the iPad 2 or the latest generation Macbook Pro. "Technology for hands-on" was the motto, which was picked up enthusiastically by the audience.

Two Comspot customers were very lucky winning the event lottery - price: a two-day maiden cruise with a companion in the North Sea. They could enjoy the luxury of Celebrity Silhouette on board and were completely charmed by the vessel.
