GREETINGS ocean enthusiasts, and welcome to the second edition of our new-and-improved regional, bilingual version of Hadag. Once again, it has been an extremely important time for us here at the magazine, as last month saw us attend the momentous Dubai International Boat Show for the very first time, with magazines distributed throughout the event, and a whole lot of useful networking achieved. As one of the most famous destinations in the world, the Dubai boat show has huge significance in the industry, which means that the majority of yacht, boat and marine equipment brands the world over were present, and we were astounded by some of the products we came across there. Many of those products you will now see featured in this issue! Look out for the private submersibles from Netherlands-based manufacturer U-Boat Worx…

We also feature some of the key players in the region, with interviews with yacht builders Gulf Craft and AS Marine, highlighting the Middle East’s contribution to the industry.

In honour of the Dubai boat show, we also highlight some other interesting aspects of marine lifestyle in the UAE, with a spotlight on Yas Marina, a catamaran cruise in Abu Dhabi, and an interview with Emirati oceanic videographer Nasir Alowais.

Enjoy, and please send us your thoughts to tony@factlive.com

Power, speed and stunning design have all combined to make the Azimut 77S an instant success around the world.

he Azimut 77S enjoyed its Middle Eastern launch at the Dubai International Boat Show recently, wowing visitors with its sleek Italian design and dynamic layout.

To give you some idea of the excitement this yacht is creating and the popularity of the brand, Azimut had already sold four of the 77S prior to its launch in Cannes towards the end of last year simply based on the design and layout alone.

So what is it about these yachts that make them such a success? Well, the hint is in the name, the 77S, the ‘S’ designating Azimut’s Sport collection, which equates to power and speed in addition to the luxuriously striking Italian styling.

The 77S can reach an impressive maximum speed of 36 knots, and cruise at an equally impressive 32 knots, largely thanks to Azimut’s renowned wave-slicing Deep-V bow, as featured on all the Sport range, and the yacht’s three 662kW Volvo Penta diesel engines.

There are four cabins, two double and two twin, capable of sleeping up to eight guests, as well as two crew rooms in the stern. On the lower deck there is a folding swimming deck next to a spacious garage easily capable of storing a tender and a jetski.

The main deck boasts a well-appointed dining and entertainment area, and there’s a large sport bridge up top adding a third sunbed to the two on the main deck. The unique feature is that the sport bridge is far back enough to allow for a glass sliding sunroof above the helm station on the main deck.

Though the spacious main saloon and three sundecks make the Azimut 77S capable of entertaining large groups, it is really more about smaller groups cruising the oceans in style, making the 77S ideal for wealthy private owners or luxury boutique charter cruises.

The layout of the 77S is at once both dynamic and luxurious.

The 77S is capable of both luxurious cruising and entertaining guests in style.

With an expansive sunroof and 360 degree panoramic views, the 50 Coupe gives the impression of outdoor living even when inside.

he Tiara 50 Coupe is a classic American style of motor yacht with a strong, sleek and elegant profile combined with an integrated hardtop and large, obstruction-free tempered, tinted windows.

The salon and bridge deck boast 360-degree panoramic views, and open to the cockpit through sliding aft doors built with indoor/outdoor living in mind. The neatly engineered forward reclining sun pad cushioned lounge offers a luxurious spot for soaking up the sunshine. The salon features a single level deck from the cockpit forward to the bridge where a single step separates entertaining from the business of operating the vessel.

The full beam master stateroom lets the

sun shine in through large windows port and starboard. The ensuite with private shower has external venting, and large hanging lockers, cabinetry and a private sitting area all compliment the room. The master opens to a common atrium with a large pantry and washer/dryer concealed within a port side closet. The optional third stateroom would delete this option. The head is shared between the atrium and forward queen VIP stateroom.

True to the yachting lifestyle, most of your time on the Tiara 50 will be spent entertaining in the salon and cockpit. The aft galley contains all the major appliances and large counter spaces to match. Quick and convenient access to the cockpit lounge seating and optional teak dining table makes for effortless entertaining and dining.

An optional hydraulic swim platform with access port and starboard by broad, safe steps brings you to the water world and can function as dinghy storage while underway. You can also utilize the storage space in the over-sized trunk engineered into the transom. The swim platform will feature drink holders at the water level, custom molded handholds and a smart ladder system for ease of entry.

The Tiara 50 is powered by twin Volvo IPSII 950 with Joystick Plus control, and tops out at an impressive 34 knots, with an optimum cruising speed of 28 knots, and a range of 310 nautical miles at that speed.

An extensive list of optional mechanical systems, exterior color choices, limited customization and interior decors are available to make your Tiara Yacht uniquely yours.

ALL-AmericAn power BoATing

LaRSoN BoaTS cut their teeth on the many great lakes of the United States before branching out into ocean craft with the LXi Series. In this respect, they know exactly what the market wants in terms of small watersports and pleasure craft, but they started right at the beginning to design an allnew hull from scratch that takes the concept to more variable ocean conditions. Ideal for waterskiing, wake boarding or just speeding across the waves in the sunshine, Larson are experts on speedboat layout and ergonomic design to ensure passengers get the most out of their boating experience. For example, the walk-through transom and stern sun pad allows passengers to enjoy the rear of the boat as easily as the rest, and makes for excellent towing versatility. In addition, storage

space under the sun pad for towing cables and equipment allows for more space in the rest of the boat.

Larson’s popularity is also due to their modern design and affordable pricing. Larson boats are made with VEC® Technology – a manufacturing process which guarantees that every Larson boat meets highly precise standards for quality, design and body robustness. Each Larson comes standard with lifetime limited warranty that is transferable to a second owner thereby increasing resale value

and peace of mind.

However, perhaps the most attractive selling point of the Larson is the on-the-water sale price, which includes registration, safety kit, marine craft driving license course fees, insurance, two-year full service contract and transponder – all of which are legal necessities.

One of the world’s most popular allAmerican speed boat brands, Larson boats are distributed in the UAE exclusively by Al-Futtaim Marine.

The Larson LXi238 boasts a number of unique selling points that are sure to tempt buyers from across the region.

Leisure on a new LeveL

ThE NoMaD Yachts range promises cruising in which the journey is the focus of the experience, rather than reaching the destination. Offering premium comfort, safety, and oceangoing capability, the Nomad Yachts are ideal for sea travellers who have a genuine appreciation for spending time on the water.

Guests at the boat show had the opportunity to experience two crafts from the range, the Nomad 65 and the Nomad 75. The Nomad 65 is designed to meet an emerging market demand for yachts that enable comfortable long-distance sea travel. It is the first semidisplacement yacht by Gulf Craft, built to be a luxurious yet powerful mode of transport. The craft has an airy loft style apartment feel with white oak parquet flooring, marble counter tops, and cosy soft furnishings, with leather sofas crafted in the main saloon area.

“It’s a whole new concept for us,” explains Erwin Bamps, CEO of Gulf Craft. “The Nomad brand is not about mega yachts; they only go up to 95 feet, and only the 95 is a super yacht, the 65 and 75 are medium sized yachts. They’re about a leisurely cruise, and enjoying the journey rather than reaching the destination. They could be described as real estate on the water.”

Erwin explains that the thought process behind creating the Nomad range was driven largely by a deep knowledge of regional trends, and an understanding of what users in the Gulf want from their yachts.

“I’m talking about layout, and approach to how the boat is put together, and focusing on clients with a different expectation on yachting that the typical style of yachting in the Mediterranean area.”

With this in mind, the Nomad Yachts were designed for luxurious and leisurely journeys, with the comfort and enjoyment of the passengers as well as the entertaining of guests and family given the most consideration. This can be seen in the layout of the decks, which boast expansive entertainment and leisure areas on the flybridge and main deck.

Gulf Craft launched its all-new range of Nomad Yachts at the Dubai International Boat Show last month.

Onwards and Upw

ards

The launch of Al Shaali Marine’s AS100 heralds the start of the company’s move towards the super yacht segment. Hadag sits down with CEO Sultan Al Shaali to find out more…

aT ThE DuBaI International Boat Show, Al Shaali Marine staged an important launch for the company, the AED20 million AS100. “The 100ft is the biggest yacht we’ve made so far, and next year we’re also launching the 130ft triple deck, but this is our second stepping stone into the super yacht industry,” explains Sultan.

In order to accommodate production of the larger yachts the company will be producing, they are building a new facility in addition to their current shipyard in Ajmaan.

“Our original facility is around 25km from the coast, so we are developing the new waterfront shipyard specifically for the yachts, and looking to separate the operation between small crafts and yachts,” explains Sultan. “We also have an operation base and manufacturing facility in the Maldives.”

AS Marine’s unique advantage in the market is its extensive in-house manufacturing facilities, which allow for several production processes to be operating in tandem allowing for quicker delivery.

“As a group we do most of our manufacturing in-house. We have the fibreglass facility which we developed for the marine industry, metal work, engineering, and so on. It took us less than a year to build the AS100, which is very quick by industry standards.”

The other advantage is a distinct local knowledge from having been in the industry in the region for three-and-a-half-decades. “The philosophy of our design and manufacturing follows the philosophy of the Arabic world,” explains Sultan. “The difference between a European boat and an Arabian boat is that a European yacht might be dedicated to six people, whereas with the Arabian boats, you see more of the large hospitality, so you can entertain up to 25 people on board. This also gives us an advantage in the charter industry, because a lot of the charter companies here don’t operate like charter companies in the Mediterranean with weekly charters, they go for hourly charters, usually for a private party or a corporate event.”

Look out for bigger and better releases from AS Marine in the very near future.

The Gulf’s

The Gulf countries have a strong maritime history stretching back many hundreds, even thousands of years, due to their vital strategic position on the Arabian Gulf.

SAiLing HeriTAge

aRaBIaN DhowS have been plying their trade along the Gulf’s coasts and as far as India and Africa for centuries, whether fishing, pearl diving or shipping goods to foreign ports. Even today, the dhow is a common sight in most of the region’s older ports.

Over the past forty years, though, due to the rapid modernisation of the Gulf countries, luxury cars, planes and yachts have subverted the more traditional methods of transportation, and a generation has lost its connection with the old seafaring traditions.

However, there are those who don’t want this connection to be lost forever, and are working to revive the region’s interest in seafaring. Organisations like the Abu Dhabi Sailing and Yacht Club (ADSYC) have been established for this exact purpose, offering free sailing lessons for Abu Dhabi-based youth of all nationalities, and hosting local sailing events such as the GCC Sailing Championships, and international ones such as the prestigious Volvo Ocean Race, with a view to establishing a strong sailing heritage once again.

“It’s all about building the foundations for the sport here in the UAE, making the country attractive as an international training destination for sailing, and developing the sport for the future,” says Reinier D’Arnaud Gerkens, Sailing & Events Coordinator for the ADSYC. “We always tell our young beginners that the skills and techniques you learn in a small sailboat like an optimist you can take with you to any larger sailboat – the fundamentals are the same.”

An important step in this direction has been taken with the establishment of the Asian Youth Cup, being held for sailors aged eight to eighteen. “It is an event being held for the first time this year by four host countries, which are Hong Kong, Singapore and India, with the final taking place in Abu Dhabi in April,” explains Reinier. “It’s an excellent and accessible platform for young sailors to compete on an international level and really build their experience.”

Another aspect of maintaining the region’s sailing heritage has been keeping the interest strong in dhow sailing, with several competitive dhow racing events taking place across the region.

“The importance of something like dhow racing is the younger Arab generations seeing dhows being sailed, and connecting with the traditions that their grandfathers might have been part of,” says Reinier.

“The dhows do have traditional elements, such as a wooden hull, but they have also been modernised for safety and efficiency, using materials like lightweight carbon fibre for the mast,” he explains.

“All of the dhows must adhere to regulations of a specified width, height and length, and certain safety specifications, but aside from that, there is a lot of freedom to design within those specifications. Dhows can be designed for speed, stability, or manoeuvrability and so on, which makes for great competition, as knowledge, design and craftsmanship are very important factors.”

Despite only having been operational for three years, the ADSYC is already making its mark on the sport in Abu Dhabi, and with the help of other organisations like this in in the region, the tradition of sailing will only go from strength to strength as time goes on.

CLASSIC YACHTS CHALLENGE 2015

A voyage from Antigua to Cannes through the history of sailing itself, Officine Panerai announces the 2015 calendar for the world’s leading international classic yacht circuit

a yEaR oN from the circuit’s 10th anniversary, celebrated via the “10 Years of Passion” campaign, Officine Panerai is pleased to announce the stages for the 2015 season during which enthusiasts will once again see these ‘Grandes Dames of the Sea’ do battle for the coveted Panerai watches and other prizes.

“Every classic boat,” declared Officine Panerai CEO Angelo Bonati, “is entirely unique and different from the rest. Each one has its own authentic details and allure, the fruit of its history and the skill of the shipwrights that built it. The beauty, elegance and craftsmanship of a classic boat are an expression of deep-seated human and seafaring values that are an inextricable part of the Panerai brand’s identity and which we intend to continue promoting through the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.”

As per tradition, the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge gets underway in April with the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. The Mediterranean Circuit commences on the Cote d’Azur in June with Les Voiles d’Antibes, the Argentario Sailing Week in Italy, the Copa del Rey de Barcos d’Epoca on the island of Minorca, Spain and, finally, Les Régates Royales de Cannes, which closes the competition and includes the final prize-giving ceremony. Taking part in the Mediterranean Circuit will be Eilean, the 1936 Bermudan ketch Officine Panerai rescued from a state of advanced disrepair and restored with extraordinary meticulousness, returning what is one of William Fife III’s final designs to her original splendour.

Right at the heart of the American summer will be the three regattas comprising the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge North American Circuit: the Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta at Marblehead, the Opera House Cup at Nantucket and the Museum of Yachting Classic Yacht Regatta at Newport.

In the month of July, the waters of the Solent around the Isle of Wight (United Kingdom) play host to the only European round of Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge taking place outside the Mediterranean: the Panerai British Classic Week at Cowes.

g u L e T S T y L e

A cruise around the Greek islands is a dream holiday for many, and yet it’s a dream within reach of most of us, if you know where to look…

STuNNING BluE SEaS, quaint fishing villages, ancient Greek and Roman ruins, and glistening sandy beaches – a Greek Island cruise is on many a holidaymaker’s bucket list, for obvious reasons.

However, the reality of the situation may be a disappointment to many, for one main reason – the Greek islands are not suited to massive cruise ships! Many of the Greek islands and port towns are small, and so the sudden arrival of several thousand people into what is supposed to be a peaceful and picturesque destination can be overwhelming for the local services, with long queues for taxis, crowded shops and restaurants, and tourists mobbing the monuments you’re trying to get a picture of.

Not to mention the fact that these floating resorts are too big for most of the ports they’re visiting, so you will have to queue for tenders to take you to the port, further eating into your leisure time.

So, allow us to propose an alternative.

A gulet Cruise

A gulet is a traditional two or three masted sailing ship from the South East coast of Turkey, predominantly from the coastal towns of Bodrum and Mamaris. These beautiful ships offer an authentic sailing experience, with smaller wooden staterooms and cosy galley or on-deck dining.

The odd thing about the Greek islands is that many are actually distributed along the coast of Turkey, far closer to Turkey than they are to Greece. For example, Rhodes is almost 600km away from Athens, but less than 100km away from the Turkish mainland.

As a result, there are many Turkish charter companies that offer island-hopping cruises departing from Bodrum or Mamaris around the Greek islands closest to Turkey and along the Turkish coastline in these beautiful gulet sailing yachts.

These include the beautiful island of Rhodes, with the stunning citadel of Rhodes Town as its capital and the UNESCO world heritage fishing port of Lindos with a Roman acropolis on the hillside overlooking the town, the stunning island of Kos with its beautiful beaches, the unique volcanic island of Nisyros with a crater you can walk through (if you dare!), and the quaint and historic island of Tilos, to name but a few.

Take a look at Guletyacht.net, and Bluecruise.org, both of which boast a wide variety of yacht cruise experiences, from budget cabins right up to luxury yachts. Alternatively, visit Seymakaptan.com to find out about the Seyma Kaptan , a gulet with a capacity for 12 passengers available for a variety of different charter options. Or for something more luxurious try the gulet Samarkand from Luxurychartergroup.com.

True, you might not get the amenities that a vast cruise ship will offer – the staterooms, the shopping arcades, the restaurants and so on. However, what you will get is a cosy, relaxing, authentic and much more intimate cruising experience with just family and friends, without the throngs of tourists. Experiences will be tailored for your group, and your group alone, and without hordes of people and tight shipping schedules to adhere to, you will be able to enjoy each experience to the fullest, with more time and more flexibility to enjoy what you’re seeing.

Yas Marina

Once simply a place for billionaires to park their mega-yachts during the Formula One weekend, Yas Marina has now developed into a full-on leisure and dining destination in itself.

whEN FIRST BuIlT, there was little to see for visitors to Yas Marina, aside from great photo opportunities of the Yas Marina Circuit of the Yas Viceroy Hotel.

That has all changed now, as the facility has opened up to incorporate an eclectic range of dining destinations and leisure facilities. A casual stroll along the idyllic promenade overlooking the many luxury yachts moored in the marina will introduce you to the breadth of choice available for a pleasant meal, including the world famous Cipriani brand, Stars N’ Bars, Iris bar and lounge, Aquarium, Café D’Alsace, Rozanah and Diablito, offering everything from American to Middle Eastern cuisine.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg, as the marina management knew that a setting like this could be used for so much more, and one can now find a whole wealth of entertainment and leisure activities taking place there on every day of the week.

Tying in with the whole of Yas Island’s campaign to improve fitness levels in Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina boasts three world-class fitness centres, namely Vogue Fitness, Bounceback sports physio, and the NuYou spa, slimming and tanning centre. There are also Crossfit sessions for kids on Mondays and Saturdays, and free beginner’s Crossfit sessions for adults on Saturdays. Look out for the ladies nights on Wednesdays, and Thursday happy hours in most of the venues, in addition to the many dining promotions throughout the week.

And, there are even outdoor movie nights held on the promenade on the second Tuesday of every month, and kids films shown every Friday. This is all, of course, in addition to the many watersports and boat charter companies that operate out of the marina.

However, one of the most exciting recent developments would be the addition of Yas Marina as a Seawings destination. The seaplane service that plies its trade along the coast of the UAE, from Ras Al Khaimah to Dubai, now stops on Yas! Take in an aerial tour of Abu Dhabi, or hop on for a rapid transit to Dubai.

We’ve only scratched the surface here, and there is plenty more to explore.

When the weather is as great as it can be in Abu Dhabi, few things are better than an idyllic cruise along Abu Dhabi’s coastline to an island and back as the sun sets…

ThE ChIllED-ouT house music is turned up, the food trays are being passed around, and the beverages are free flowing as the catamaran makes its way out of the InterContinental Abu Dhabi Hotel’s marina and heads out along the coast. For about 45 minutes it sails past several of the many thousands of sandbanks, tiny islets and bigger islands that make up Abu Dhabi’s coastline, before arriving at its destination, a secluded and pristine sand beach that can only be accessed by boat. The catamaran and her passengers are the only ones here.

For the next few hours, we party on the catamaran, swim in the sea, or relax in the sunshine on the beach, before the sun begins to set, and we all reboard the catamaran for the leisurely cruise back to the marina.

As far as ways to spend an afternoon go in Abu Dhabi, few are better than this. These are the Island Cruises from Belevari Marine on Abu Dhabi’s largest catamaran, which can accommodate up to 65 people in leisurely comfort. The cruises depart every Friday and Saturday at 1pm, returning at 5pm (the times can change depending on the time of year).

You and your friends can either book individual tickets in advance, or you can charter the whole catamaran for a private or corporate party with rates negotiated depending on numbers and catering requirements.

Whatever the situation, the experience is top notch and comes highly recommended by us. With its many islands and secluded beaches, Abu Dhabi has some of the most beautiful coastline in the region, and there are few better ways to see it than in this relaxing trip.

Belevari Marine offer a number of services in addition to the catamaran cruises, including private motor yacht charter, evening cruises along the corniche, boat brokerage and more.

Contact them on +9712 643 1494 for more information.

Cameraman The Ocean’s

This month, Hadag catches up with Emirati underwater videographer Nasir Alowais, who has been widely recognised for his work in the field.

Capturing the beauty of the oceans has always been a passion of Nasir’s

Nasir often dives with friends, who capture him doing his thing!

What are your main areas of interest in videography?

My interests are mainly underwater and wild life videography.

And what was it that sparked your interest in this field?

My interest in the environment started by learning diving. By specialising more in diving and visiting many dive sites around the world, the diversity of the different environments captured my attention.

After becoming a diver, how did you eventually become a videographer?

When I started diving, I was introduced to some friends who had common interests. So I was in videography more than photography, meanwhile other friends I have were more in photography. For example, the pictures you see here are some of the photos taken of me by my colleagues Elamjad Kafi, and Khalid Almansouri.

What advice would you give to young people who would like to pursue a similar career?

I would tell them to be more concerned and focused on the underwater environment.

What are your plans for the future?

I’m thinking of discovering new diving spots in the Red Sea.

Nasir would like more of us to focus on the ocean’s environment.

GulF CRaFT have been building boats and yachts in the UAE for 33 years now, having been in operation since 1982. In this regard, they haven’t just capitalised on the incredible growth story of the Emirates, but in fact been a part of it, raising the profile of the UAE as an economic force to be reckoned with through their production of world-class leisure craft.

“I’ve been with the company for twelve years, and when I first came, none of this existed,” says Erwin, gesturing around him to the marina, the neighbouring hotels, and the impressive skyline towering over the Dubai International Marine Club. “I used to drive to this very beach in my four-wheel-drive, as this was the only way you could reach it!”

This position as a leading yacht builder in the rapidly growing economy of the UAE has given Gulf Craft a unique position in the global industry. “In this market, of course, local know-how does give us an edge, but it’s also the place itself,” explains Erwin. “I mean, you’re standing here looking at the skyline of Dubai Marina, where the sky is the limit, almost literally, where people want to do things better and bigger, with people living here and coming here to make their fortune, to be part of this UAE vision. It’s the promised land for a lot of people, and if you have a company like ours that’s

It is the craftsmen who employ their skills in the workship who are the lifeblood of the company.

rooted in this country, we carry a little bit of that ‘sky’s the limit’ attitude with us, so we’re not only an ambassador for boats and the yachting industry, but also for the UAE’s approach to life.”

However, it’s not just the company’s position within the UAE that has led to their success, but also the deep involvement from the founders and top management of the company. “They’re very much directly involved with the whole process. Our chairman is in the shipyard every day at seven am, and the people who are the stakeholders are partners in the business. For me it’s important that the management walk around the shipyard, showing the craftsmen that they are the blood of this company, because it’s not all done by robots or machines, it’s done by hand, and therefore you have to respect the craftsmanship that’s happening on the floor itself.

“We have about 2000 employees at the moment across four shipyards, and we produce about 450 boats per year. Things like carpentry and leatherwork, when you do it in house like we do, it’s less like an industry and more like artisanal craftsmanship, so it’s floating between creating art and creating products.”

And last, but certainly not least, comes a fundamental understanding of the experience of owning a boat or yacht.

“We understand that this is all part of a bigger thing, a lifestyle. When we work with a client we are not just selling a boat; we have to figure out what they want to do with it, where they want to go, consider that whole story, and initially we act as almost a consultant on the lifestyle rather than on the product. And when it all comes together for them, and it fits what they’re expecting, then they can consider buying a boat, and make sure that the boat we provide them with is exactly what they want.”

Hempel’s ground-breaking new Hempaguard hull paint doesn’t just offer anti-fouling protection, but fuel savings too.

ThE technology, dubbed ActiGuard, took five years to develop and is based on siliconehydrogel and biocide science. It is available as two separate products: HEMPAGUARD X5 and HEMPAGUARD X7. Hempel’s tests show excellent fouling resistance of up to 120 days during idle periods plus fuel savings of six per cent on average.

Launching HEMPAGUARD in London during London International Shipping Week, Fouling Control Marketing Manager Claes Skat-Rørdam said:

“If you are not satisfied for any reason using Hempel’s top tier product HEMPAGUARD X7, Hempel will pay, under the performance satisfaction guarantee contract, for the conversion of HEMPAGUARD back to conventional antifouling and with no questions asked.”

With rising costs, tightening environmental regulations and mandatory Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans, ship owners turned to Hempel for a new hull coating that really could make a muchneeded difference to their business.

As a result, Hempel scientists spent five years developing and testing Hempel’s patented ActiGuard technology. ActiGuard integrates silicone-hydrogel and full diffusion control of biocides in a single coating. Surface retention of the biocide activates the hydrogel, which effectively holds fouling organisms at bay, cutting friction to a minimum while utilizing a minimum amount of biocide. The active hydrogel microlayer forms a barrier between the solid silicone binder and fouling organisms.

The result is a unique fouling defence system – HEMPAGUARD, which ensures excellent performance during long idle periods, plus remarkable fuel savings and flexibility.

“Our goal was to re-think the market. By introducing this concept and a performance satisfaction guarantee contract, that is precisely what we have done,” says Claes Skat-Rørdam.

Flying Spur W12

Having driven the Bentley Mulsanne, and the Continental GT V8 S, we now finally have a spin in the Flying Spur, also our first W12 Bentley. It was simply glorious…

The interior of the Flying Spur is simply a lovely place to be, with huge amounts of space and comfort.

So whaT IS ThE FlyING SPuR?

Ostensibly, it is simply a four-door sedan version of the Continental GT. In fact, when it was first released it was called the Continental Flying Spur. Now the Flying Spur is a stand alone product with its own range, comprising the W12 and the significantly more economical V8 for the eco-conscious millionaire. Having no similar green-guilt when it comes to cars, I took delivery of my W12, and headed off into the city.

First impressions: it’s manageable. Despite being a big luxury sedan, the Flying Spur is a breeze to drive, gliding through traffic like a dream. A touch of the gas has the mighty W12 instantly coming to life, surging past any slow moving traffic in seconds.

The layout of the model we drove was geared towards chauffeured passengers, with a split rear seat with centre console, and a rather impressive detachable wireless device that looked a bit like a smartphone that could control the climate, stereo and view various vehicle functions.

Any of the seats front and back were hugely comfortable places to be, with enough legroom in the back to make the business class of some airlines jealous!

On the move, the Flying Spur simply glides. There is practically no road or engine noise making its way into the passenger cabin, with unnoticeable gear changes, and the smooth silence almost gives the eerie impression of driving an electric car.

It’s only when you really put your foot down that you can just about make out the big 616hp 6.0l twin turbo W12 doing its thing, which is an incredible testament to the soundproofing abilities of Bentley. Hitting 100km/h in 4.3 seconds has never been so relaxing!

However, I really wanted to hear the W12 in all its glory, so I took it to a tunnel, and let her rip. At this point, I learned that the W12 really isn’t built to make noise. Soundproofing cossets the engine too, and muffles the exhaust note, which makes for a rather surreal sensation as you accelerate like a supercar with very little noise or sensation.

Being a bit of a boy racer, I couldn’t help but fondly remember the magnificent bellow of the Continental GT V8 S, and how much I missed it now. If your inclinations are towards quiet and refined luxury, but you still like to drive your own car, the Flying Spur is as close to perfection as you’re likely to get. However, if you’re all about the theatrics and you like to hear your engine when you put your foot down, the Continental GT V8 S will fire you up every time!

whIlST walkING along the pontoons at the Dubai International Boat Show, a product at the Art Marine lounge immediately caught our eye, and we stopped to chat with the company’s Chief Operating Officer Bruno Meier to find out more about it.

“I’m excited about this product, because this is something I’m very interested in. I’ve been diving since I was a child, and I built my own basic submarine when I was a teenager, so, I’m very excited that we are now a supplier for these submarines,” says Bruno enthusiastically. “U-Boat Worx is a Netherlands-based company, it builds very high tech well-built submarines for private use, with models for two, three, or five occupants.”

Some might be put off by the seemingly complex nature of operating a submarine, but the truth is that the C-Explorers have been designed to be incredibly user-friendly. “There is a one-week training process involved, but I can tell you that it’s dead simple,” says Bruno. “Understandably, until you understand all the security systems and so on it takes a little bit of time, but it’s not rocket science, its very easy to use, and very versatile.”

Of course, making any product like this for private use requires that it be comfortable, and the C-Explorer doesn’t disappoint, boasting leather seats and an incredible bubble-style

The C-Explorer 3 from Dutch company U-Boat Worx allows any private owner to explore the ocean beds in comfort and style.

viewing glass, and even a robotic arm to pick up things from the sea bed to place in an attached basket.

The floaters, or pontoons on either side keep it stable when on the surface, but fold mechanically underneath the sub when under the surface to make the craft sleeker in the water.

There are different versions of the C-Explorer 3 which are rated from 100 to 1000 metres (that’s 3300 feet!), which is about as deep as any leisure operator would ever want to go. There are so many applications for a craft like this, but the main benefit is that it opens up realms of ocean exploration previously unheard of for the average marine enthusiast.

To find out more, contact Art Marine on +9714 338 8955.

Comfortable and userfriendly, it opens ocean exploration up to the world!

DRAgoNfLY 5 PRo نــيرام يار

Raymarine’s CHIRP Technology and DownVision are game-changing technologies that put these sonar fish finders in a league of their own.

ThE wIDE-SPECTRuM CHIRP technology on the Dragonfly devices transmits more sonar signals into the water, allowing for more details to be interpreted by the sonar and astounding clarity in the on-screen images.

With the DownVision technology as featured on the 5 PRO, the gap between the two signals is filled in with a third going straight down, allowing for stunning all-around views of what’s going on down below.

The images displayed on the screen will blow your mind, showing almost photo-quality imaging in which you can clearly see detailed shapes like underwater objects such as wrecks and reefs, and schools of fish in unparalleled clarity on the five-inch display.

The screen itself uses an optical bonding display that delivers brighter colours, sharper contrast and all weather viewing.

The 5 PRO also includes 10Hz GPS, and built-in Wi-Fi, which allows you to stream Dragonfly sonar to the Wi-Fish mobile app on your smartphone.

The 5 PRO is quite expensive, but in terms of quality and features you simply won’t find a better product anywhere else. However, if you do want the same functionality for less, the 4 PRO boasts the same features, only with a 4-inch screen instead of the 5 PRO’s five-inch. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.

From the Atlantic to the Californian waves, the Eden Park Spring-Summer 2015 collection is dynamic and colourful. With a ‘Modern Preppy’ ambiance, the classic looks are relaxed and modernized.

Rugby jerseys and polos, bright or pastel, are treated in plain or striped garment dyes.

Cotton trousers, jackets, overshirts and parkas are lightly washed.

Classics are enhanced by prints and floral motifs. Graphics are offbeat, the use of prints such as the Hawaiian flower brighten the shorts, t-shirts, polos, shirts, wind brea-kers and swimming shorts.

Omega Seama S ter a qua t erra

Omega lives up to its longstanding relationship with James Bond with its latest dedication to the upcoming 007 movie, Spectre.

oMEGa have been making watches for Bond since 1995, when they first produced a watch for Pierce Brosnan in the 007 movie Golden Eye

The latest creation, the 007 ‘Spectre’ limited edition, is based on the brand’s hugely popular Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M timepiece.

Inspired by the Bond family coat of arms, the symbol is repeatedly interlocked to create a dynamic pattern on the watch’s blue dial. The coat of arms is also found near the tip of the yellow central seconds hand. The colour of the dial matches that of the watch James Bond wore in his last film SKYFALL.

Among the most striking elements of this 41.5 mm stainless steel timepiece is the oscillating weight of the movement visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. This component has been cut and shaped to resemble a gun barrel, a design feature that alludes to the famous British secret agent.

Powered by the completely new OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibre 8507, this timepiece is resistant to magnetic fields greater than 15,007 gauss – a nod to Bond’s famous “license to kill” number. The timepiece is presented on a stainless steel bracelet and will be produced in an edition limited to 15,007 pieces.

Co-Axial Escapement

The Co-Axial escapement, the heart of the movement, is a revolutionary development in watchmaking invented by British master watchmaker George Daniels in 1974.

It was, in fact, the first practical new watch escapement to be invented in some 250 years and it challenged the supremacy of the Swiss lever escapement that had long been the industry’s mainstay.

Considered by some to be one of the most significant horological advancements since the invention of the lever escapement, the co-axial functions with a system of three pallets that separates the locking function from the impulse, avoiding the sliding friction of the lever escapement. This makes lubrication of the pallets unnecessary, and thereby eliminates one of the shortcomings of the traditional lever escapement.

George Daniel’s co-axial escapement was championed by Omega in 1999, when they mass-produced the first Omega watch incorporating the technology, and it is now the ticking heart of the Omega timepiece collection.
