Designs for a new decade

The past 12 months have seen exciting and captivating designs from studios around the world, pushing the styling, layout and engineering of yachts and the tenders that serve them. We hear from the designers behind some of the latest ideas to hit the market as we start a new decade. Eight studio directors provide a snapshot of their ideas, highlight details behind projects under development and reveal more about the latest projects to hit the water.

WORDS BY ANDREW JOHANSSON

SIMPLE, BOLD STYLING INSPIRED BY SPACESHIPS Concept name: C-72 Words by: Wayne Parker Position: Design Principal & Founder Studio: Wayne Parker Design “With this concept, we wanted to create an aesthetic that is evocative and plays on shape and form with a balance in layout to meet the owner’s requirements and day-to-day operation of the yacht.

We took inspiration from the futuristic look of spaceships to create the exterior. Keeping the styling simple with bold features such as the bubble window aft on the owners’ deck, achieving a unique look. Angular details give the profile a striking definition which is further emphasised with a strong bow.

With the interior we studied a typical guest cabin layout and took onboard feedback from clients who have expressed their views on usability. With this in

of people on board, and how the layout is completely derived from giving the maximum user experience.

Hallways are shaped wider when you enter them and narrower when you exit, so that it draws you in; the shape invites you on board.

This hybrid yacht features a technically innovative propulsion system developed specifically for this concept. To date, yachts like this have to be tall because the big electric motors push the design up.

On this concept, we insisted that the dimensions worked for the owner first, and so the engines became ‘pancake-like’ – instead of up, we went flat and wide. We’re pushing innovation in all areas.”

FOLD-DOWN BULWARKS FORM A HUGE BEACH CLUB WITH A POOL Concept name: Slipstream Words by: Mario Pedol Position: Design Principal Studio: Nauta Yachts “The exterior styling of Slipstream reflects Nauta’s trademark preference for clean, uncluttered design devoid of fussy or superfluous detailing.

A real innovation is the patent-pending system for the walkway and fold-down bulwarks, which can transform the aft sea-level deck into 280-squaremetre, 270-degree viewing terrace — a new concept we call “the Island”.

AN EXPLORER YACHT WITH A SPECTACULAR SALON

Words by: Steve Gresham Position: Director Studio: Gresham Yacht Design Behind the masculine exterior, which includes an Ice Class hull, is a high-volume superyacht equipped with all the technology and hardware you would expect of a true explorer. One of the most impressive interior areas of Exploris is the main salon. This double-height space features large circular windows that are sliced horizontally by the open floor of the upper lounge area. Not only does the layout create a feeling of space and openness, it also allows for an extravagant, technically challenging crystal chandelier that plays with natural light as it floods the spacious room.”

28th Dubai International Boat Show The big spring boat show of the Middle East is back for another edition, better than ever, in a great new location

F

rom the glitzy and glamorous superyachts basking in the Marina to the smaller boats, submarines and jet skis displayed in and around the Outdoor Area, this is the Dubai International Boat

Show. It’s a great event with a long lasting heritage thanks to 27 previous editions. This time It will be in a new location, Dubai Harbour, one of many massive developments built for Expo 2020 and for the challenges of the future.

There is no other marine and lifestyle event quite like Dubai International Boat Show. 2020 marks the 28th anniversary of this world-famous festival, where fortunes are launched and dreams set sail. The Dubai International Boat Show is managed by the Dubai World Trade

Centre (DWTC) - an event organiser with over three decades' experience delivering world-class events in the Middle East, featuring local, regional and international exhibitors with unmatched expertise and market knowledge.

Rapid growth The DWTC’s commitment to ongoing innovation within the exhibition industry has supported the rapid growth and development of a wide range of business-to-business and business-to-consumer shows, and delivered consistent satisfaction to exhibitors and visitors.

DWTC works with the leading trade bodies and industry associations to ensure that all exhibitions deliver full value, and are built upon the real needs of their specific sector.

Once fully completed, Dubai Harbour will be a worldclass maritime neighbourhood like no other with its cosmopolitan lifestyle, unprecedented marina berth mix, the region’s most advanced cruise terminals and extraordinary locations. Nestled between Dubai’s most sought after landmarks – which include Bluewaters, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and the Burj Al Arab – Dubai Harbour is a prominent pulse in the heartbeat of new Dubai. The neighbourhood is also equidistant from the main airports.

The sound investments of the Fine Watch Club Affordable limited series and exclusive events on the schedule TEXT: BRICE LECHEVALIER

T

he mission of the Fine Watch Club is to open wide the doors of the watch industry for its members, to deliver an experience and provide access to rarity, not only through events but also

through watches that cannot be found elsewhere.

Fine Watch Club members enjoy a very special backstage experience at events such as Baselworld, Only Watch, the

Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and the Watch Photo Awards. We arrange VIP tours inside manufacturers such as Bvlgari, Jaeger-LeCoultre, TAG Heuer, Vacheron Constantin and Zenith, as well as visits to the Patek Philippe and Frédérique Constant museums.

In 2020, rumour has it that the brand-new Audemars Piguet and Omega museums may well be on the schedule too, with some confidential behind-closed-doors events in the automobile, horological and yachting sectors.

Investing for pleasure The Fine Watch Club’s work with limited series and recommended models is driven by many things, from the quality of the aesthetic to technical content, but there is also a good deal of seasoned and highly considered reasoning.

The first three limited series offered were initiated by the international watch owners’ club and relate to the very best brands and models whose value has been clearly recognised by collectors and professionals in the sector.

The first buyers of Fine Watch Club watches have thus been able to rejoice in their investment.

––– LIFESTYLE –––

The GPHG label Within this context, it is well worth recalling that Bvlgari's Octo Finissimo Automtaic Titanium won the Men's Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2017, and its chronograph version is now also a prize-winner in the Chronograph category of the 2019 edition.

‘The mission of the Fine Watch Club is to open wide the doors of the watch industry for its members’

An incredible fifth world record for thinness set by the Octo Finissimo collection further reinforces the desirability of this iconic line, which is highly prized by the world’s top collectors, who are well aware of Bvlgari's expertise and won over by its avant-garde aesthetic. A 12-piece limited edition of this successful model is thus a reliable bet.

Zenith event at Calvin in Geneva

Auction evidence The Fine Watch Club was behind Zenith’s decision to produce a special edition for its members, with the only steel case in the El Primero 50th anniversary collection equipped with the new A386 calibre, normally housed in gold models only, as well as to endow it with an exclusive dial for a 24-piece limited edition – all at the very affordable price of CHF8,900.

One month after this launch, collectors demonstrated their enthusiasm for the Zenith El Primero Only Watch, which was auctioned

by Christie's at more than three times its estimate (CHF75,000); as well as for the oneof-a-kind platinum model designed with Phillips in association with Bacs & Russo, which reached a record CHF250,000. How could you go wrong with the one offered by the Fine Watch Club?

lously designed for the supreme comfort of the club’s members.

This year, Club Thirty-Nine celebrates its third anniversary and introduces many new features and activities as part of a near constant effort to improve and refresh the members’ experience.

The club: Digital Acccess As a private members' club, Thirty-Nine is constantly working towards not only improving members’ experience, but enhancing their privacy and security as well. It is the team’s hope that members see the club as it is meant to be, a home away from home. As part of this experience, 39 has introduced the STid Mobile ID app, giving digital access to club areas.

Sport 39: Wiemspro EMS Suits Electro-Muscular Stimulation, or EMS, is the stimulation of muscles by passing harmless electrical impulses through them. The impulses are generated by a compact device and then transmitted to the desired muscle groups via carefully located electrodes. By mimicking the signals sent via the central nervous system, EMS impulses cause muscle contraction. When combined with exercise, EMS creates up 40% more force.

39 Social Events and Master Classes 39 Social events: 39 Talks, 39 Master Classes, 39 Kids Parties, 39 Outdoors. A series of concepts to socialise, educate and stay fit, 39 Talks and Master Classes serve as enriching, dynamic experiences. The events are a series of lectures and presentations given by professionals in their respective fields.

The goal of each 39 Talks event is to give an opportunity to spend an afternoon or evening learning about topics of interest. Each group is limited to 10 spaces, giving an equal opportunity for all attendees to discuss the topic at hand and engage with the presenter. 39 Master Classes are designed to provide an interactive experience and opportunity for members to both learn a new skill while participating in the class.

Each 39 Outdoors is a series of outdoor sports classes. So far, 39 has organised a ski session in Limone Piemonte, walking and workout sessions in Roquebrune Cap Martin and St. Jean Cap Ferrat as well as a hike in Eze sur Mer along the Circuit du Mont Bastide. With each 39 Outdoors event, their intention is to provide a special fitness

A private luxury paradise Savour the very best of Mauritius – carefree luxury and privacy at the exclusive Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa WORDS BY JAMES W PHILLIPS

T

ravelling to London Heathrow on a dull winter’s morning, I relished the thought of basking in the tropical paradise that awaited me at the Maradiva Villas Resort and Spa on the beautiful island of Mauritius. This would be my first time on

the island of Mauritius, situated in the Indian Ocean, which is best known for its beautiful beaches, lagoons and reefs. The mountainous interior of the island includes Black River Gorges National Park, with rainforests, waterfalls, hiking trails and wildlife like the flying fox, fruit bats and was once home to the famous Dodo.

The capital Port Louis has sights such as the Champs de Mars horse track, with horse racing a huge national obsession, the Eureka plantation house and 18th-century Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens.

Reaching paradise Added to all the rich history and beauty, this wonderful island is now far more accessible to travellers and so could easily make for a two-week stay destination.

The gorgeous jetty at Maradiva. What better place to enjoy a romantic sundowner?

‘The beautiful island of Mauritius is now far more accessible to travellers and so could easily make for a two-week stay destination’ Watching the flight tracking map on the TV screen was another fascinating pleasure, as I flew over exotic places such Cairo, Luxor, Addis Ababa and Mogadishu the anticipation of my arrival grew to incredible levels.

With the huge plane landed gracefully on the Tarmac, we disembarked into the modern Mauritian terminal building and then exited into the tropical heat of this wonderful island, and into what seemed like another world. With the hotel transport waiting I climbed aboard for the short drive to the luxurious villa complex that awaited me. A Rolls Royce is also available for airport transfers to and from Maradiva for those more discerning travellers.

Colonial culture We drove through sugar plantations, kept green and lush with the tropical rain, the fire-coloured earth that sprouts beautiful local trees bursting with colour called ‘Flamboyant’ trees and then all of a sudden, into urban areas with the hustle and bustle of busy locals going about their daily lives. Road signs were often in the same style as British

Cuisine for the soul The food is sensational, from the hotel’s main restaurant ‘Coast2Coast’ near the beach, to its two boutique restaurants serving up flavours from its rich culture: Indian delights in the ‘Cilantro’ restaurant and sushi perfection in the ‘Teppan’ restaurant, where dishes are prepared right in front of you.

Maradiva is a haven of peace and calm, the hotel bar is a delight full of colourful bottles and attentive staff to mix whatever exotic tropical drink you like. The resort, while having copious choices for food and relaxation, is far from a noisy all-inclusive. The day culture of tranquility moves to night, though with added sophistication, where a dress code is observed for dinner and peace and quiet is respected.

Mauritius, a rich cultural melting pot Mauritius was uninhabited until 1598 and was unique for its wildlife and plant species. There were Dutch settlers from 1638 until 1710.

The French took formal possession in 1715 and sent settlers from 1721; the French East India Company governed the island, called Île de France, from about 1767. The island was captured by the British in 1810 during the Anglo–French war and renamed Mauritius.

St Vincent and the Grenadines Environment Foundation As one of the earliest and most established funds, the St Vincent and the Grenadines Environment Foundation can point to notable victories over the years and has also enjoyed Royal support, when Prince Harry visited the islands and brought attention to the work being done to protect local turtle populations. The photo of him visiting the SVGEF turtle project where he walked along the beach with the SVG Prime Minister and Governor General features on the front page of his website.

The SVGEF encouraged the government to ban the killing of sea turtles and parrot fish and has since gone on to help local whalers find new livelihoods in whale and dolphin watching.

The organisation also funded research and helped locals to protect the endangered Union Island gecko, which now has CITES protection.

Parrotfish Protection and Shark Finning Ban Earlier this year the SVGEF changed its logo to that of a parrotfish to bring national attention to the threats facing this species of fish, and the critical role it plays in the health of coral reefs and beaches. The SVGEF also worked closely with the Ministry of Fisheries to bring the matter to their attention and appeal for an all-out ban on the killing of parrotfish.

The SVGEF is pleased to announce that as of December 1st 2019 parrotfish harvesting has become illegal in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, with shark finning now also officially banned.

While shark finning is not practised in SVG the ban instituted by the Government is in solidarity with the international threats to sharks

caused by shark finning.

There’s now a brighter future for pink rhino iguanas in St Vincent and The Grenadines

The Union Island Gecko and Pink Rhino Iguana Project (Biodiversity Study) The SVGEF has been integral in initiating wildlife conservation of the Union Island gecko and its sole native habitat range in Chatham Bay, Union Island. The fund was the key sponsor for the Union Island Gecko Conservation Action Plan (2016-2021), protecting the gecko and surrounding ecosystem for the next few years and supporting discussions to designate Chatham Bay forest, coastal and marine ecosystems as a Protected Area. Through engagement with the community, clear signage and full-time wardens tasked with protecting the ecosystem, collecting data and educating locals and tourists alike, the geckos’ habitat is now far in a far better place.

A crucial component of this project has been biodiversity inventories for key groups of terrestrial and marine flora and fauna, including the gecko and the Union Island pink rhino iguana. The inventory has contributed to the recent description of the Grenadine pink rhino iguana as a new sub-species of green iguana; Iguana iguana insularis. The native range of this sub-species is the Grenadines and this stunning, ancient looking lizard is often seen in Chatham Bay Forest.

Life Support for Barbados’ Coral Reefs Barbados has suffered massive mortality of corals on the once vibrant fringing reefs that line the west coast. Now the almost entirely dead reef is overgrown with algae, which are over-fertilised by land-based sources of nutrients. As a result, the biodiversity, sand production, coastal protection from erosion, and the habitat for ecotourism, have largely collapsed. The Blue Green Initiative Inc. (BGI) in partnership with The Global Coral Reef Alliance will be embarking on a reef restoration pilot project using Biorock technology to grow solid limestone out of seawater and create new coral reef and fish habitat in front of an existing virtually dead reef.

This is the first pilot of its kind for Barbados and with the support of

LAGOON 620 SUNSET O A superb cruising platform offering comfortable and efficient performance under sail or power, SUNSET O is ready for the coming season.

Designed by the architects Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prévost (VPLP) in association with the Lagoon R&D department, the 620 model is renowned for its on-water ability, spacious and very flexible layouts that suit both private and charter use. Here, the concept reaches new heights with its Nauta designed interior and superb specification.

Unique features include an entirely redesigned living area lit up by a surround of glass.

On the starboard side, the master suite has also been substantially modified, with a washroom now placed after on either side of the cockpit access stairs, making room for a large wardrobe.

The forward starboard cabin is a real VIP suite, benefiting from more space and spec when compared to other models.
