YachtCloud collaborates with SuperYacht Spares

Leading Dutch technology company YachtCloud announces an exciting new collaboration with SuperYacht Spares. The innovative integration of SYS Gateway and YachtCloud’s GEST service call system is now available, offering clients a safe, reliable, and simple solution to onboard communication. "The GEST system is the perfect add-on to SYS’ upgraded gateway solution to integrate UHF systems with alarm and monitoring", explains YachtCloud’s Roel van der Zwet. Superyacht Spares developed a UHF radio system which perfectly complements the GEST service call devices. Apart from giving the client a richer experience when calling for service, integration into other systems is now much easier, with as less hardware as possible.

The Tankoa Yachts boutique shipyard in Genoa is bustling with activity following the recent arrival of the T580 ‘World Wide Explorer’. The yacht sailed to the shipyard with an already assembled hull and superstructure; the engines and generators were also present and mounted on board. The 58m yacht with sporty lines, designed by Francesco Paszkowski (and Margherita Casprini, who collaborated on the interior design), is a full-custom project, designed for long voyages and with a range of over 5,000nm. “This new yacht, our first 58m, is the result of years of collaboration between the Paszkowski studio and Tankoa,” says Eva Orsi, President of Tankoa Yachts.

New milestone for Nilaya

Panamax sloop Nilaya reached another milestone with her departure from her construction hall at the builder’s Vollenhove facility in preparation for the installation of her towering rig in Amsterdam. This highly anticipated superyacht is the first to utilise Royal Huisman’s new Featherlight design and production method. Continuous weight monitoring throughout the build of Project 405 aka Reichel / Pugh – Nauta 154, confirms the Dutch builder has achieved its goal of slicing 11% of the weight of its typical advanced aluminium cruising yachts. Most importantly, it has reduced weight without sacrificing stiffness or cutting corners on quality for this high-performance cruiser.
