Editor’s note

Plane Sailing in Boat Show Season My feet have not long landed on home soil since returning from the whirlwind Monaco Yacht Show, where new concepts, exciting launches and innovations were unveiled, but I’ve hit the ground running, and am keeping my sights firmly ahead as we launch straight into the upcoming METSTRADE show in Amsterdam (page 12), celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (page 30) taking place in October. I extend my condolences to those who have been affected by the devastating hurricanes in recent months, and congratulate you all on what has been an inspiring show of bravery and camaraderie in people’s best efforts to get back on their feet. The opening of FLIBS in the face of adversity is something to be commended. And our admiration continues, in this issue, with two remarkable yachts being highlighted. The simply stunning and unmistakable Pink Gin VI (page 42), the largest carbon fibre custom-built sloop in the world, and the show-stopping 85m motor yacht Areti (page 24), the fourth yacht to be delivered by German shipyard Lürssen in 2017. I had the pleasure to step aboard both vessels at the Monaco Yacht Show, and though they are very different boats, they both share an extraordinary level of design detail, innovation, and passion from their owners. Areti’s interior volume totals 2,850GT, giving her an enormous beam of almost 15m, and an extremely spacious interior, while Pink Gin’s two topsides openings requiring specialist engineering that form a balcony in the Owner’s suite and side entry to the main lobby are among many of her stand-out features. This issue, we spotlight two understated but highly necessary categories of the marine industry, the first of which is paint and coatings systems. With many of today’s iconic superyachts choosing Jotun MegaImperial antifouling for underwater protection, it is the company’s proven performance, growing reputation of reliability and dry dockings that is making its name (page 56). Meanwhile, it’s the Awlgrip Superyacht brand reputation for seamless high quality results, along with the unparalleled professional capability of its teams, that ensures AkzoNobel continues to be in demand from superyacht builders across the globe (page 59). And within our second category, stabilisers, Seakeeper is ‘making waves’ with its patented cooling system and active control technology (page 35), while CMC Marine, the Pisa-based industrial manufacturer of stabilisation systems, and stern and bow thrusters for yachts and passenger ships over 16m, launched a raft of new international debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2017 (page 32). Our selection of special features includes homing in on BCE’s complex glass products with optical quality and innovative solutions (page 38), investigating Gianneschi’s globally recognised pumps and ventilation systems (page 62), taking a look at a new custom yacht concept by Amels and H2 Yacht Design (page 52), and a casual discussion with Oculus Technologies on its new smart infotainment solution, Nautiq (page 48). Julia ZaltZman | editor editors@ynfpublishers.com

That pretty much wraps up the fourth issue of SuperYacht Industry in 2017, apart from our regular installments of People Pages, News in Brief and Outfitters.

news in brief Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design Confirms Design Contract for 78m ‘Mega Sloop’ Project MM78, a 78m ‘mega sloop’ designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design, is said to be the result of many months’ research and development, and is the studio’s largest to date. Impetus for the design came from the client’s wish to have clear 360-degree views from the cockpit without the need for a flybridge. Designed for cruising with a lifting keel and a square top mainsail, the yacht will feature fully automated sailing systems which will avoid the need for any human contact with load bearing sheets.

Kuiper Holland A family business with a history spanning over six decades, Kuiper Holland is a leading manufacturer of panels for the international yacht building industry. Kuiper Dutch Marine Panels are particularly associated with superb craftsmanship in veneer application. Kuiper Holland offers panels in several specific categories: • Kuiper Art − panels finished with veneer or HPL • Kuiper Air − lightweight panels that reduce overall mass and, hence, increase fuel economy • Kuiper Serene − soundproofing panels • Kuiper Protect − fire resistant panels • Kuiper Basic − untreated panels & plywood With a wide and varied product range, Kuiper Holland aims to be a one-stop-shop for yacht builders. “Yachts are complicated constructions, so people building yachts need lots of different suppliers,” explains Hans Golbach, director at Kuiper Holland. “When it comes to panels, we make it easy for them by offering the whole package, including extensive expertise. Our ultimate goal is for Kuiper Holland to be the first name people think of when it comes to high quality yacht panels. We don’t want to be chosen because we’re nice or Dutch, but because we’re the KUIPER HOLLAND best.” BOOTH NO.

When it comes to achieving the finest paint finish, Carlisle Fluid Technologies (CFT) is a world leader. CFT is a global company, which manufactures equipment for the supply and application of sprayed materials, including paints, coatings, powders, mastics and bonding. Best known for its world-leading brands – DeVilbiss, Ransburg, MS, BGK and Binks – it supplies advanced, market-leading equipment for all major industry sectors. Its range of DeVilbiss spray-guns, Ransburg electrostatics and Binks paint handling and high pressure products are particularly suited to spraying marine paints and coatings, for both below and above the waterline. Many of the world’s leading superyacht painting teams have recently made the switch to Ransburg Electrostatic spray guns and are benefitting from less waste, improved coverage and an excellent finish. Electrostatic guns negatively charge the paint particles so that they are attracted to the earthed, positively charged hull. Using this technology, more paint is transferred to the surface, reducing overspray, greatly improving efficiency and ensuring significant paint savings. At METS this year, CFT will be showing its latest range of RansFlex manual electrostatic spray guns. Advanced, lightweight electrostatic technology and gun construction have improved the weight, fit and feel of the gun, meaning easier handling and reduced operator fatigue. Added to this is its CFT world-renowned air cap technology from BOOTH NO. DeVilbiss, which gives RansFlex superior CMP.77.EL atomisation for the highest quality finish.

You might have heard the word that Lift Emotion is keeping busy with an innovative elevator concept; a Robot Arm Elevator to be exact. At METS Lift Emotion will be sharing in detail how this ‘robot arm’ functions – operating on doors connecting to a vertical elevator shaft (the classic idea of an elevator), as well as operating on different landing doors inside the structure of placement. This brings new design options, particularly when it comes to yacht design where space is often limited. Can’t imagine how this would for you, or struggling with a design that uses the old concept of an elevator? Then view Lift Emotion’s Robot Arm Elevator concept during METS 2017 at stand 10.305 in the SuperYacht Pavilion.

Vertisol

Nomen Nomen has been awarded several design prizes for its premium designed mooring equipment during the past. Now the multi-functional Clip-cleat has been awarded winner of the German Design Award 2018, which is one of the most widely recognised international design awards, honouring first-rate entries in the field of product and communications design. The CLIP-Cleat won in the ‘Sports, Outdoor Activities and Leisure’ category, and the prize will be awarded in February 2018. The CLIP-Cleat previously won the well-known marine DAME Award in 2013 in the ‘deck equipment, sails and rigging’ category. The smart and stylish design of this mooring cleat shows a surprisingly logical functionality; the cleat always remains closed, no matter whether it is belayed or not. The turning clip-end-pieces consistently keep the cleat closed. No lines can get caught nor can anyone be injured. Casting off is possible at all times.

Conversions are often much more complicated than new constructions. The featured image depicts a successful solution for a now lightflooded bar made of onyx. Yachtlite devised the technical planning of the lighting solution down to the smallest detail and produced and supplied the illumination, and the whole project was implemented in collaboration with partners. The entire bar lights up homogeneously, including the narrow sides and the smallest of details.

A

t the time of writing, the annual figures for the global superyacht fleet have just been released showing that the members of the hISWA holland Yachting group have consolidated their strong position in terms of market share with a growth from 17.7% to 21.6% over the last three years. results in the global superyacht sector are a little like the waves on which its scions sail, and there is rarely, if ever, linear growth. While enjoying record years like 2015 – itself a logical outcome of the flurry of orders placed once it became clear that the economic crisis that started in 2008 had run its course – it is far more instructive to take a medium-term view to see how things are developing. The dutch market share has continued to grow over the past three years and we expect this to be the case for the foreseeable future.

METsTrAdE, Holland Pavilion, super yacht bar.

Helicopter View As an association, the hISWA holland Yachting group is uniquely qualified to take a helicopter view because of our many decades of experience. did you know that the hISWA holland Yachting group was set up by yacht builders way back in 1970? I share this snapshot of history with you to illustrate the unrivalled heritage the dutch have when it comes to international business in the superyacht world. our members understand like no other the need to adapt to different markets while retaining a unified front in terms of premium quality and an unrivalled service excellence. put simply, we are experts at connecting the maritime world based upon the three pillars of stability, heritage and personality. That expertise has never been more relevant in our changing world. With a fleet of over

6,000 superyachts, facilities in the popular areas of the mediterranean and caribbean are becoming more crowded and owners are exploring other parts of the world with relish. Some of the fiscal regulations being introduced are also having an impact on the traditional european destinations. Add in the natural curiosity of yacht owners to head for pastures new and it is no surprise that regions such as Scandinavia and the baltics are growing in popularity.

Collaborative Approach Taking a collaborative approach is a fundamental part of being a member of this association and of its success for almost half a century. Together, the yards and the specialised supply companies – all located within a radius of just 200km – have navigated the stormy waters of recession on various occasions, leveraging their individual and collective experience. We are used to some years being leaner in terms of deliveries, but that all depends on the pipeline. What is certain today, is that the dutch are heading in the right direction, despite the challenges the superyacht sector as a whole faces due to the current geopolitical situation. We have a clear strategy of meeting these challenges head on, one which revolves around focusing on the dutch dnA of the maritime world and our rich heritage, moving forward based on these strengths. So, wherever you are reading this in the world, if you are considering a superyacht build or looking for suppliers, holland should certainly be your first port of call. I invite you to discover all that the members of the hISWA holland Yachting group can offer, both via their own websites and via hollandyachtinggroup.com where we have placed a wealth of stories that capture the essence of our offer.

Hydromar Flexibility not bureaucracy When rob montijn joined hydromar in 1983, the progressive mindset prevalent there encouraged his own curiosity in developing a wide range of hydraulics for yachting. “Almost all the products in our range today have grown out of full custom products from the 1980s and ‘90s – back in those days we had to invent and manufacture many parts ourselves, as so little was ready-made and available. I became responsible for guaranteeing the flexibility required in yacht building without compromising on the high quality that yacht builders demand. “our products were soon in demand from yards creating superyachts of up to a 100m

and more. This was when I understood that the bureaucratic approach many of these yacht builders deploy did not fit the hydromar philosophy. based on this experience, we decided that the company performed best with a focus on high-quality yacht building that rests on cooperation and flexibility by both supplier and yard. “It is very important that hydromar be part of the construction process so that our knowledge of machining, shipbuilding and hydraulics can benefit all parties involved. This is my personal passion and one which the philosophy of hydromar fully supports.”

custom superyachts deserve the finest components and fittings, built to the highest quality, and future-proofed by unrivalled innovation and expertise. rondal is internationally recognised for the quality and advanced design engineering of its custom superyacht solutions across a broad spectrum of products and services. “If a rigger who left the industry a few decades ago returned today, he might get the impression he was in the latest Spielberg science fiction blockbuster,” says rondal rigger Jan Slot. “masts are cooked, fibres are stored in freezers and standing rigging cables are cured, while lengths above 65m have become the standard. Welcome to the brave new world of superyacht rigging. “When I joined rondal 30 years ago, wooden masts only existed for the classic flat-bottomed yachts. The most modern material for spars was aluminium. back then, a superyacht rig at

rondal was a stick for a 65-footer, corresponding to a total mast length of some 25m. In-mast furling, not in-boom furling, was the key to success. “In those early days, we would step something like ten masts every year. The procedures were relatively simple and we didn’t use safety harnesses, helmets or headsets – you just rolled up your sleeves and got on with the job. Standing rigging was made from wire until it was replaced by rod rigging – a solid metal cable, which was stronger but still very heavy. “rigging systems and yacht building have truly come a long way over the past few decades. I’ve witnessed much of the evolution in terms of the adoption of modern techniques and materials in superyacht rigging during my time at rondal. I expect the ingenuity and dedication of our craftsmen and engineers to yield just as many exciting innovations in the years to come.”

elivered in july 2017, Areti has spent her first summer cruising the mediterranean with her owners on board. A similar design to the owner’s previous yacht, baring the same subtle cream hull with white superstructure and whisper grey accents, she possesses a much younger and sportier profile. completely bespoke and built to the serial builder-owner’s exacting requirements, Areti is a stunning feat of design and construction. tasked with a complex assignment to keep the design in line with the passenger yacht code (pyc), Winch design has given the yacht a sleek and perfectly balanced signature, complemented by a traditional but fresh interior with an American classic twist. this has been achieved with aesthetic appeal that masterfully disguises the various pyc requirements, such as the wood panelled areas in the escape ways and staircases that are made from nonflammable aluminium and resin, and the double door entrances to the crew cabins, which have been avoided in the guest cabins by way of a sliding fire door. What the pyc code does allow, however, is the capacity for 24 guests (including the owner) on board at any one time, attended to by a team of 25 crew.

Family Affair A combination of straight grain and figured makore timber are a basis for the traditional styling and enhance the luxurious interior, punctuated by an array of neutral fabrics. All aspects (aside from the antiqued brass ironmongery door handles) have been custom designed, including hand-embroidered silks of the soft furnishings

TRADE SHOW

Uniting the world’s international yachting aUdience

the Fort lauderdale international Boat show owned and presented By the Marine indUstries association oF soUth Florida (MiasF) and Managed and prodUced By show ManageMent, the Fort laUderdale international Boat show draws hundreds of leading marine businesses from around the world and thousands of boating enthusiasts who come to browse, buy and learn about what is new on the water. Beset by devastation caused by hurricane irma just a month prior to the show, the big clean up began almost instantly, and the 2017 event looks set to be as big as ever.

Variety is Key Fort lauderdale, Florida, will host the 58th Fort lauderdale international Boat show (FliBs) on 1-5 november 2017. Boasting more than 900 exhibitors, show exhibits range from yacht builders and designers to exotic cars and brokerage yachts. a wide variety of boats will also be on display from sport fishers and cabin cruisers to motor yachts and catamarans, with over 1,000 vessels in total. the largest in-water boat show in the world, FliBs takes place at seven locations connected by a network of water and land transportation. show locations include the Bahia Mar Fort lauderdale Beach hotel & yachting centre, the hall of Fame Marina, las olas Municipal Marina, hilton Fort lauderdale Marina, sails Marina, hyatt regency pier 66 Marina, and the greater Fort lauderdale/Broward county convention centre.

attendance at the 2016 five-day show was up five per cent compared to the 2015 event, and among all segments of boats on display, the largest increase was boats in-water under 30m in length, which grew 2.9%. “simply put, our sales results at the 2016 Fort lauderdale international Boat show were amazing,” said chuck cashman, chief revenue officer of MarineMax, one of the show’s largest exhibitors. “Quality and innovation continue to be extremely important in driving new boat sales. additionally, our entry into charter facilitated several larger boat sales. all our core brands experienced nothing short of excellent results. overall, the dollars sold at the show were very close to an all-time record.”

to draw an international crowd of buyers, sellers and browsers all keen to see the latest that the global boating industry has to offer, Fort lauderdale is maintaining its reputation as the ‘yachting capital of the world’. part of the show’s growing success within the superyacht sector is initiatives such as the windward Vip club experience, which offers the luxury of a private dining area, a premium open bar, gourmet food, and meet-and-greet opportunities. this climate-controlled sanctuary is the perfect platform to network, close business, or simply share the excitement of this international boating spectacular. located at the swimming hall of Fame show entrance and valet, each Vip club experience package includes show entry, windward Vip club access, water taxi entry, and a dedicated concierge to arrange appointments on board yachts directly with exhibitors.

STABILISERS CMC MARINE BOOTH NO.

10.416 METS 2017

New Generation CMC MARINE, THE PISA-BASED INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURER OF STABILISATION SYSTEMS, AND STERN AND BOW THRUSTERS FOR YACHTS AND PASSENGER SHIPS OVER 16M, LAUNCHED A RAFT OF NEW INTERNATIONAL DEBUTS AT THE CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL IN SEPTEMBER 2017.

B

uilt on experience gained over the years, and advancing the development process that began with the launch of the Stabilis Electra system, its three latest innovations are stabilising systems for three specific yachts, designed to extend the range of installations. They consist of the SR Short Range system, the HS High Speed system and the LR Long Range systems.

Three Systems

The HS High Speed system designed for planing yachts with speeds over 24kn.

Developed to transfer Stabilis Electra technology to boats under 20m in length, the SR Short Range System joins the state-of-the-art electric engine Brushless Torque (available in three sizes) to a gear box. Characterised by a unique design, the new system ensures maximum compactness, reduced weight, a low energy consumption and simplified installation. This system can also be powered at 24V DC.

The HS High Speed and LR Long Range systems have been designed for planing yachts with speeds over 24kn, and for displacement or semidisplacement hulls, respectively. The HS system is born from an evolution of the SE Stabilis Electra System, and proposes several novelties compared to the previous range, which consist of: an optimised profile of the blades (guaranteeing better performance and further reducing resistance), the use of new electronics for reduced encumbrance and higher performance (which allows the control of different surfaces, such as helm or intruder), together with the stabilising fins. The new LR system, meanwhile, is designed to be installed on board displacement or semidisplacement boats. This new product presents remarkable benefits, including more compact actuators with the same power of the equivalent SE system, higher performances, a new blade geometry designed for displacement boats, the ability to install blades up to 5sqm, and new electronics with the option to integrate – and control – eight control surfaces (two pairs of blades, helms, etc.). CMC Marine has also included the addition of inertial detectors that enable the analysis of roll, pitch and yaw movements, to better control the platforms.

User Input CMC Marine’s LR Long Range system devised for displacement or semi-displacement hulls.

74m Cloud 9, featuring CMC Marine’s technology.

The product of radical innovation, the three systems are in response to feedback and input from owners and shipyards, who have highlighted a need for a specific type of stabilisation that has, until now, remained unsatisfactory. Drawing on the latest technology to deliver an enhanced performance, together with further weight reductions, low energy consumption and even simpler installation, the HS High Speed and LR Long Range systems also provide the option of integrating and controlling different support surfaces (rudder or intruder) in conjunction with the stabilising fins. The profile of the blades has also been upgraded and they are now available in a range of new sizes, up to 5sqm. The aim, as always, is to improve performance, which is guaranteed by a new design that significantly reduces resistance.

tabilisation is becoming an essential system in superyacht construction, just as air conditioning in cars once evolved from being a luxury item to a must-have. as ferretti group ceo alberto galassi said, when referring to seakeeper being named the ferretti supplier of the year: “i cannot believe there will be a future of boating without stabilization…you don’t spend millions of euros [to] roll like a gondola.” it’s easy to see why this development has become so important. eliminating boat roll removes the anxiety, seasickness, and fatigue that some experience on the water. With a stabiliser on board, reluctant seafarers are willing to get out on the water and guests need not fear spilling their drinks. game night with the family gets even more fun when no

one needs to worry about pieces sliding with the roll or Jenga toppling before the first block is even pulled.

Point of Difference seakeepers work their magic, eliminating up to 95% of boat roll on boats ranging from 30ft tenders to 67m superyachts, without a second thought from the captain. once the gyro is activated, passengers can enjoy life on board without needing adjustments every time the seas change or the vessel picks up speed. but while everyone is enjoying the simplicity of a steady horizon, incredibly advanced technology is hard at work. the magic of seakeeper is the physics of

>>

One major benefit of seakeeper stabilisers over fin stabilisers is that seakeepers are completely internal to the hull structure.

The vacuum encapsulation enables the flywheel to spin roughly three times faster, cuts flywheel weight by twothirds, and halves the power required for optimal stabilisation. Inside a vacuum sealed enclosure, a flywheel spins at 10,700rpm.

gyroscopes. inside a vacuum sealed enclosure, a flywheel spins at 10,700rpm. When the boat rolls, the gyro tilts fore and aft, producing a powerful gyroscopic torque to port and starboard that counteracts the boat roll. What sets seakeeper apart from the crowd is its patented cooling system and active control technology. seakeeper’s patented cooling system keeps the components from overheating, allowing us to pack everything into a vacuum-sealed sphere. this vacuum encapsulation enables the flywheel to spin roughly three times faster, cuts flywheel weight by two-thirds, and halves the power required for optimal stabilisation. moreover, because the flywheel, bearings, and motor are sealed in a vacuum, they are isolated from the corrosive effects of the damp, salty air that accompanies life on the water.

Major Benefits seakeeper’s active control applies the gyro’s torque over the course of an entire wave period, optimising the force application and providing an unsurpassed level of performance. this active control provides impressive results because the gyro is countering the force of the waves continuously, rather than reacting instantaneously. the active control feature means the seakeeper can be used both at rest and underway (unlike some fin stabilisers), and

www.s u p e r y a c h t - i n dustr y.c om

Seakeeper.indd 37

can even be used in any sea conditions, unlike passively controlled gyroscopes which must be turned off in rougher conditions and at higher speeds. one major benefit of seakeeper stabilisers over fin stabilisers is that seakeepers are completely internal to the hull structure. that means no external protrusions that increase the risk of snags, increase drag, or limit where the yacht can go. seakeepers can be installed virtually anywhere on board and multiple units can be installed to supply enough stabilising power for larger vessels. this flexibility in installation means that refitting a yacht with seakeeper is easy. if there is not enough space on board for a larger unit, multiple smaller units can be installed to achieve the same level of stability. for yachting enthusiasts who have witnessed the magic of seakeeper first hand, the proof is in the experience. having a seakeeper installed means no more cancelled trips due to rough waters. no more heading back to shore early because of a bout of nausea. no more distractions from simply enjoying the lifestyle. seakeeper has revolutionised the fundamental human experience of being on the water; those who have experienced it wonder how people ever got by without one.

ith the patented BestCurve bending technology BCE is capable of designing and producing glass panels in all possible shapes and curvatures whilst maintaining the highest superyacht quality. a team of highly qualified engineers is able to design glass so that it bends to the final shape without needing to cut the glass after bending, preventing unnecessary stress and post-breakage. the main principle of BestCurve technology is preventing the glass from touching any mould while bending in high temperatures and computer-controlled concentration of thermal radiation on deep curves. the 15-custom build high-tech bending furnaces in combination with the patented mould technologies produce the most extreme 3d curved glass panels available, which always fit seamlessly into their state-ofthe-art projects.

Ultra-Light Glass Panels after many years of research and development, BCE, which founded in 1970, is able to offer ultra-light glazing for the yacht industry that significantly reduces overall weight by combining chemically toughened, special formulated glass panels and high performance interlayers. iongard Chemically toughened glass‘s unique combination of toughness and beauty is creating exciting new possibilities for many innovative new projects. BCE’s advanced ionguard chemical toughening plant is one of the largest in the world, currently producing glass up to 3,600mm. BCE is now able to further differentiate itself with the use of ionguard, a lloyd’s-approved glass with a strength that exceeds other chemically toughened glass by up to 60%. Combine this with the phenomenal performance of the safelamex interlayer, and the newly developed glass, created to minimum thickness and offering a serious weight reduction, is resulting in advances in glass construction never seen before. “glass technology is at the forefront of the design, as the yacht not only enjoys large, multideck panoramic windows, but even the bulwarks are glazed, creating a very special open feeling towards the sea,” commented Ken

Superyacht Glazing following numerous stunning projects within the superyacht industry, BCE recently completed glazing for royal huisman’s s/y ngoni. the design by the late Ed dubois was so incredibly challenging that, again, BCE was the only company that had the knowledge and production facilities to manage and produce the state-of-the-art 3d curved windows. much to the happiness of the project manager at the shipyard, BCE proved to be not only a glass supplier, but a worthy and highly appreciated co-builder during the entire building stage. from the outset, including when engineering the mounting systems, the classification period, measuring and designing right up to production and final installation, BCE and the yard worked hand-in-hand to assure the best possible quality and stunning finish, whilst managing to stay within the incredible tight building schedule.

Automotive in the past two decades, just as in the superyacht industry, the average amount of glass surface on an automotive vehicle has significantly increased. demand for more luminous cabins, wider, improved sight: these elements are the main objectives of the designers that compete to increase the surface of glass on board every new model. BCE has taken on the challenge from the designers and has glazed some of the most stunning super cars, such as the dendrobium by williams, the Bugatti EB110, the Cp autosports E-taxi and even the futuristic glazing of the marchi mobile elemment.

Railway Challenging design, however, is not the only area of complexity when it comes to innovative

T

he largest carbon fibre custom-built sloop in the world, Pink Gin Vi is no ordinary sailing yacht. Built by finnish shipyard Baltic yachts, and launched in july 2017, the 53.34m beauty boasts a spectacular silver hull and expansive hot pink sails that billow in the gentle breeze, swelling out bold and striking. six years in the making, refined attention to detail is the calling card of her design, with judel/Vrolijk & co. responsible for the naval architecture, and the inventiveness of design unlimited for the stunning interior and cockpit ergonomics. intended primarily for world cruising, the yacht features a straight stem and counter stern above the water, and a torpedo-style lifting bulb keel beneath it. two topsides openings requiring specialist engineering that form a balcony in the owner’s suite and side entry to the main lobby are among many stand-out features. throughout the yacht, surface finishes and textures play an important role with select materials used in unusual ways to create a tactile look. an eclectic mixture of stained oak joinery, metallic finishes and sumptuous velvets and leathers create a warm, inclusive ambience. from the velvet-lined drawers, bespoke carpet

(where inspiration was taken from a scarf) and monogrammed clothes hangers, to the subtle differences in each of the bathrooms in the sand cast hand-finished hardware, each element has been meticulously chosen, complemented by curated international artwork and bespoke loose furniture that catches the eye at every turn. “working on Pink Gin Vi has been a great and exciting challenge. the new yacht is not so much an evolution of the previous Pink Gin, but a revolution in design; a superyacht that reflects the personality and passions of the owner,” says mark tucker, director at design unlimited.

Design Details Blending the past with the present, Pink Gin Vi’s design borrows aspects from the owner’s previous Baltic yacht, also named Pink Gin. descending into the saloon, the eye is immediately drawn to a mauve self-playing piano, enjoyed by the owner for evoking happy memories of sun-downer cocktails enjoyed at a hotel in Porto cervo whilst listening to the resident pianist. alongside the music, the work of emerging Polish-born artist marcin rusak truly inspires, encapsulating dried flower petals

built by Finnish shipyard baltic yachts, the 53.34m beauty boasts a spectacular silver hull.

Pink Gin Vi is also full of innovative engineering features. her carbon fibre/corecell foam hull was built in three parts for better access during construction, greater accuracy and a quicker build time. each part was scanned to create a 3d image, which allowed the build team to assemble the hull with millimetre accuracy. together with the deck moulding, the carbon shell weighs just 18tons, a fraction of the yacht’s overall displacement of 250tons.

Construction Innovation The luxe styling continues on deck, where design Unlimited has paid specific attention to partnering the exterior deck spaces with the interior.

while a deep, heavy keel is required to counter-balance the 67.9m mast (built by rondal in holland) and its vast spread of sail to ensure an exceptional sailing performance, being able to reduce draft when at anchor from an enormous 7m to just under 4.5m can be useful. three hydraulic cylinders move the fin and bulb keel into a choice of three locked positions providing shallow draft at anchor and deep draft when sailing. keeping the keel aligned is a carbon fibre casing which took two months to build using 200 layers of carbon. the keel was designed and built in conjunction with aPm in italy (all metal components except bulb) and composites engineers Gurit. one of the more intricate pieces of engineering is the stern bathing platform and stairway which folds out from the transom to

form an easy transition from deck to sea level. a bathing ladder, shower, lighting and guardwires all fold back into the transom leaving it perfectly flush while underway. car power steering technology has been developed by Baltic yacht’s engineers and esoro, a swiss specialist engineering company, to provide the helmsman with a better sensation of ‘feel’ enabling him to experience how the yacht is responding. Baltic yachts has also gone to great lengths to reduce vibration and noise levels by redesigning machinery mounts, ‘floating’ cabin modules on rubberised insulators and designing specialist composite sound shields for generators which has helped reduce sound readings to exceptionally low levels. with a cruising speed of 13kn, Pink Gin displays a plethora of design and innovation, and will set new benchmarks in super-sailing.

INTERVIEW

Nautiq, the New Smart Infotainment Solution FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF OCULUS TECHNOLOGIES’ BRAND-NEW GUEST INFORMATION SOLUTION AT THIS YEAR’S MONACO YACHT SHOW, THE COMPANY’S co-founders, Kim Jansen and Stefan van Cleef, explain the reality behind the creative process of turning a concept in to a viable solution for the yachting industry.

O

culus Technologies B.V specialise in infotainment for the Yacht, Cruise and Aviation industries. The company, based in The Netherlands, was established in 2009, quickly developing recognition for their infotainment and bespoke solutions, particularly in the superyacht sector. Renowned for their expertise in hardware, software and design, Oculus Technologies boasts a fast-growing product portfolio and dynamic team focused on innovation, creativity and cutting-edge technology.

Oculus Technologies is renowned for its product innovation and the yachting industry has a reputation for very high expectations. So, just how difficult is it to create a new product that is truly innovative, and yet both useful and purposeful? Stefan van Cleef (Creative Director): Whatever the target market, whatever the level of expectation, a

product always has one goal. It needs to be a standardised (and widely available) solution to a problem, market need or requirement. The fact that our target market sets out such high expectations means that any product creation process must remain incredibly dynamic and involves more in-depth measures when it comes to really trying to understand the exact needs of the end user. Products may need to have a generic application but still should be able to evoke a feel of exclusivity and engage on a personal level whilst embracing innovation and the latest technology. Kim Jansen (Technical Director): All product innovation is the result of an initial idea, whether client or supplier driven, that undergoes numerous revisions until it is refined for use and practical application. Creating a new product for the yachting industry brings

The original concept for Nautiq.

about its own unique set of additional challenges. Market research and client feedback is often impossible to truly achieve so getting to understand the actual demands of the end user can be a very slow process. Balancing that with innovation, technical development, engineering and financial calculations is a complex journey.

How did the idea for this new product come about? Stefan: About a year ago, myself and Peter, CEO of Oculus Technologies, were discussing how our current product YachtEye solves a problem. How, via the means of onboard TV screens or touch-screens, it makes yacht and journey related information accessible to guests and owners aboard superyachts, as well as making crew life easier and enhancing the overall hospitality experience. We then began talking about what we could add or change to YachtEye to further increase the level of wellbeing for everyone on board and make it more accessible to all yachts, not just the largest. Before long, we were creating a completely new product; a brand-new solution that could solve various problems for both crew and guests in their quest for excellent service and assured security. The more we talked about the concept, the better we came to understand that the problems came down to sharing information. In other words, communication. And that is how our latest product was born.

www.s u p e r y a c h t - i n dustr y.c om

Oculus.indd 49

What was the next step? Kim: To develop the idea into a product, we were very focused on ensuring we had the right people working on the product development. The new innovation has a lot of technical challenges. We wanted to play to all the strengths we had at our disposal, not just from within Oculus Technologies, but from third parties to ensure that we had the very best skill set to work with, as well as insights from other industries.

How did you then take it from concept to product development? Kim: It felt like a very natural process. It was a new product, but in some ways, it didn’t really feel like a new concept. I felt that we had been discussing the value of sharing information through the means of smart communication on and off for years; the idea of ‘how can we support the owner or guest to be more connected?’. Not only to the yacht but more importantly with its crew, fellow guests and all those specifics relating to the very trip they are undertaking. From the technical side, it was how do we make the concept physically bridge the gaps between marine technology, hospitality services, local information, safety and ultimately the overall satisfaction of the luxury travel guest. This key user focus became integral to my part in the development and ensuring the concept remained focused.

INTERVIEW

Kim Jansen, Technical Director

How did you decide what ideas and features to incorporate?

So, is this the moment where you find out if the refined initial idea stands a chance?

Stefan: This is where we are reliant on user and market analysis. We had to make decisions based on what we knew our target market was looking for in terms of solutions, problems to solve, budgets, etc., and what they would embrace. One major issue for us was that despite all efforts, we simply did not have enough user and market analysis available to make what we felt were face based decisions. The yachting industry itself does not have a lot of market data available in comparison to other markets and the target groups have not been subject to extensive research, especially not when it comes to creating new products.

Stefan: To some extent. It is certainly the moment where we collate all that has happened up to this point into an end goal. This is where the ideas have to be formally brought together to showcase the entire concept: from what we envisage to how it works in reality to what is needed to achieve it. The team mapped out diagrams, scenarios, draft designs and vision and mood boards. We then brought in an interaction and graphic designer to challenge us and create a proposal for a first version of the end-user side of the product. We focused on those features within the product which represented value to the user – those features we believed people would benefit from.

Kim: We also had to consider the technical and engineering side. Could we turn our concept in to a reality? We still needed a baseline to ensure we were continuously working towards a saleable and useful product. We had neither the time nor budget to delve deeper in to research. The only thing we could really rely on was our own gut feeling and experience, which in all honesty is just not enough. We therefore decided to define a first MVP (minimal viable product). It was to be based on our gut feeling and to be tested as soon as was possible. We committed to putting all our skills and efforts into the MVP, most importantly, knowing that we might fail. We were prepared to just learn.

www.s u p e r y a c h t - i n dustr y.c om

Oculus.indd 51

Kim: As part of the process we worked closely with Apollo Media, a team of ‘magicians’ when it comes to creative coding. They took the designs of the interaction and graphic designer to build an App in Framer which we could then test with the market. Our end-product was never, and is not intended, to only be an App, but this was the fastest and most accessible way to test with the market. We had pre-aligned industry professionals willing to test the product and the results of those tests will be the moment of truth. Those results steer the next phase. This is when the internal dream identifies with its external reality.

e are very proud to say that Jotun is protecting superyachts, many of which are in the 100m+ category,” says marcus reynolds, Jotun global marketing manager, yachting.

Proven Product Performance predictable and reliable performance is extremely important for a yacht to maintain speed and manoeuvrability without an increase in fuel consumption. the condition of a yacht’s hull surface has a substantial impact on its energy efficiency and fuel bill. after years of development and testing, Jotun megaimperial was launched in 2002, based on the optimisation of the market leading silyl acrylate antifouling technology, tailored to fulfil the specific requirements of yachts. from the years of experience and continual innovation, the second-generation silyl acrylate technology seen in today’s megaimperial and megaimperial Xtr was developed offering the superyacht industry the most advanced antifouling system. nB: megaimperial Xtr has federal epa approval for application in the usa. non-approved paint

can be applied to a vessel abroad, and the vessel can subsequently trade in usa waters.

Specially Developed for Superyachts Jotun has been working with silyl acrylate technology since the 1990s, with silyl based products applied on more than 10,000 marine vessels worldwide. Jotun is widely recognised as the industry’s leader in this specialist antifouling technology. silyl acrylate antifoulings are less dependent on vessel movement, providing higher flexibility with regards to vessel activity and speed, which is recommended for low activity vessels like superyachts. this is achieved by the closely controlled reaction between seawater and the silyl acrylate based resin, converting it from water insoluble to water soluble. relatively low activity of these yachts reduces the erosion rate of standard ion exchange antifoulings, so the choice of antifouling technology is important to ensure sufficient fouling protection of the hull surface, even when

the yacht is static, with minimal build-up of leached layers, which is necessary to maintain the hull fouling free.

Leached Layers ‘leached layer’ is a layer at the surface of an exposed antifouling where the composition has changed. all the water-soluble components in this layer have been dissolved and the biocides released. the remaining structure is, therefore, full of voids and fragile with reduced mechanical strength. all antifouling paints develop a ‘leached layer’. a thin layer of inert product is inevitable and shows that the paint is self-polishing and working as it should. however, an excessive thickness of ‘leached layer’ can have a negative effect, as the efficiency of the biocide release is reduced by the build-up of leached layer.

seawater, the silyl ester group reacts in a very controlled way, as the level of hydroxyl ions is constant in the world’s oceans making it easy to predict the exact reaction rate. the covalent bond being disrupted in the silyl ester is much stronger than the ionic bonds in the ion exchange technologies under seawater exposure. it is possible to fine-tune and tailor the coating specification to suit a specific yachts’ requirements using: voyage factor, average speed and average water temperature.

Hydractive Technology to minimise the formation of leached layer affecting the coatings antifouling property, it is critical to control the coating’s water uptake. unfortunately, soluble pigments that do not remain in the leached layer usually attract water and thereby result in an increased leached layer, whereas insoluble particles that repel water tend to remain in the leached layer contributing to an increased thickness. to overcome this challenge, Jotun has coated soluble pigment particles with a molecular layer to change the

particle’s properties. the coated particles are changed to become hydrophobic (water repellent) instead of hydrophilic (water attracting) preventing water ingress into the coating and reducing the formation of leached layer. When the predetermined amount of seawater has penetrated the antifouling’s surface layer, the particle’s coating reacts with the hydroxyl ions (hydractive) separating the coating from the soluble particle, allowing the remainder of the particle to dissolve. this provides a controlled release of biocide, protecting the hull from fouling with predictable performance. using the hydractive technology, combines a) a reduced leached layer, which improves the efficiency of the antifouling coating, and b) an improved and predictable biocide release which protects against fouling. With the hydractive technology, Jotun has taken a further step towards the ultimate fouling protection. dr erik risberg, global marketing director of Jotun marine coatings, comments: “We are proud of Jotun’s research team’s achievements with the development of the hydractive

technology; the team have proven it possible to take silyl acrylate technology to yet another level. the combination of these technologies allows a unique level of protection for superyachts, with a tailor-made specification to suit the vessel’s specific parameters. this is a huge step towards increased efficiency of superyachts through an outstanding fouling protection with both a financial and environmental impact.”

AKZONOBEL IS A LEADING GLOBAL PAINTS AND COATINGS COMPANY AND ITS AWLGRIP SUPERYACHT BRAND IS RENOWNED FOR achieving seamless high quality results. It’s this, along with the unparalleled professional capability of its teams, which ensures AkzoNobel continues to be in demand from superyacht builders across the globe.

A

recent project for Awlgrip was in partnership with Latitude Yachts, which saw the creation of two unique 53m trimarans, Nautique and Galaxy of Happiness. The superb vessels, which were 30 months in the making, debuted at the Cannes Yacht Festival and saw Galaxy of Happiness win the award for the most futuristic design. The dream-like vessels, which are already renowned for their unusual design in the industry, were created by an expert team of boat builders and painters, requiring many hours of precise work by hand. Together with AGL Marine and Latitude Yachts, Awlgrip provided training, expertise and products to deliver the sleek result, which is continuing to impress audiences around the globe. Currently enjoying successful careers on the water, the trimarans almost appear as though they organically emerged from the water, with the design harmoniously linked with the sea. However, the construction of the vessels wasn’t all plain sailing, and required quick thinking, innovation and a meticulous strategy to achieve the finished product.

An Introduction to Latitude Yachts Latitude Yachts is situated on the outskirts of Riga, Latvia, in an area of industrial dockland

with access to the Baltic Sea via the Gulf of Riga. Ideally placed for large scale builds, it is an established business which, up until this project, was primarily involved in the commercial market, such as interiors for restaurant boats and ferries. The two trimarans, created by renowned French designer, Jean Jacques Costes, marks Latitude Yacht’s first venture into the superyacht market and required temporary warehouses to be constructed so that they could accommodate the size of the impressive trimarans.

Born from the Future, Created by Hand The spacecraft-like trimarans feature a sleek central hull with wings suspended either side. To achieve the futuristic design, the two vessels were constructed from extremely light-weight carbon fibre, a departure from traditional boat building materials, which required a timeintensive modular construction. This saw each section created in a bespoke mould, which was then cured and post-cured at 85°C for sixteen hours. Following this process, all surfaces were extensively filled, faired and sanded, manipulating by hand the hulls, decks and superstructure of the trimarans to achieve seamless curved edges which perfectly

PAINT & COATING SYSTEMS capture the ripples of the water. Once the desired shape had been reached, the project team then encountered the unique challenge of applying Awlcraft SE in a silver metallic shade to the trimarans. The combination of the unusual shape of the vessels, and the complicated properties of applying metallic paint required the project team to adapt a unanimous painting technique. Developing this technique was essential as metallic is a challenging paint shade to apply due to the way it reflects light. If different application techniques or equipment are used during the project, the end finish would vary as the viewer moved around the vessel, and would appear imperfect.

Smoke and Mirrors To overcome this challenge, Awlgrip provided panel testing to find out what technique provided the best finish. Once this had been decided, six painters from Latvia were brought to AkzoNobel’s new training centre in Hedge End, Southampton, for an intensive course. The training ensured that all team members involved in the application used the same technique, essential for achieving a smooth and even reflection in the metallic shades. The training took place over two days and followed a course based on new Awlcraft SE paint, looking at the tools available to apply paint and the methods to apply them. The paint team left the training feeling inspired and ready to tackle the project. Once back in Latvia and as the application progressed, the team were required to use more and more innovative methods to tackle the size and shape of the vessels, which included suspending the painters from a cherry picker so they could reach every curve and maintain a consistent application technique. For the application, they used a conventional spray atomisation technique – where the paint is pressurised with an airline gun. The paint is then atomised when expelled, achieving a fine and even result. In total the vessel received, two coats of Hullgard Extra Primer, four coats of Awlfair LW epoxy filler applied in 1-2mm skims and sanded between coats, a skim of Awlfair Surfacing Filler, two coats of High Build Primer and three coats of 545 Epoxy Primer. Finally, three coats of Awlcraft SE Silver Metallic base and three clear coats of Awlcraft 2000 were applied to achieve the end result. The application of the metallic paint was completed within a few crucial hours, as any delay would have caused imperfections to the surface – this would have undoubtedly been the tensest part of the project.

Proven Solutions Giles Thom, Superyacht Account Manager at AkzoNobel, commented: “Our team worked very closely with Latitude Yachts and the highly skilled team of applicators throughout the project, regularly visiting the site to give advice. Using a metallic based paint was no mean feat and required hours of training at our AkzoNobel base in Southampton, ensuring the end result of these magnificent vessels would be perfect. We are extremely proud to have been selected as a partner for this project and the finished vessels are truly remarkable.” Richard Gibaeud from AGL Marine, added: “There are always challenges in projects but thanks to the technology, products used and the passion we all had for this particular one, we were able to control so many of the variables. This included the futuristic curvature of each vessels’ shape and the mirror-like quality of the metallic paint – both elements were huge pressure points during the project, but were mastered by an expert team of professionals. “Overall we are hugely pleased with the project

and found the wide selection of products available from Awlgrip and the support from AkzoNobel to be fantastic. The result is simply stunning and has already received fantastic accolades from the superyacht industry. We are certain both Nautique and Galaxy of Happiness will have very successful careers on the water in the years to come.” AkzoNobel’s Awlgrip brand provides proven solutions that protect, beautify and reduce boat maintenance. The Awlgrip brand has an established world-class reputation for excellence and meets the needs of customers who expect exceptional performance, durability and brilliant visual effects.

designed for discharge water handling. made completely in bronze, it provides exceptional strength and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. it is ideally suited for slightly loaded or grey water such as waste or sewage where suspended parts are present. the mVG series electric volumetric pumps have a helicoidal metal rotor consisting of an endless screw rotating inside a stator in floating rubber with a double helix profile. this makes it possible to direct any dirty or viscous fluid, or that which contains small particles in suspension, to the water treatment system on board vessels.

Circulation and Air Conditioning Pumps air conditioning and circulation systems on marine vessels require reliable pumps to maintain steady conditions of cooling water throughout the system. in order to satisfy customer needs, Gianneschi has designed and manufactured two top quality bronze pumps: the cB 22 standard centrifugal and the Bma-S with self-priming capability. the high-quality components make these pumps light and perfectly compatible with sea water. this means it has good strength and wear resistance, resulting in reduced maintenance. the cB 22 is a centrifugal pump with an open impeller designed for quiet operating with low power consumption, while the Bma-S provides a large flow of water on limited power, and is suitable for bilge, firefighting, ballast, fresh water washing and circulation applications.

Optimum Airflow the axial fans ell/aP series uses high efficiency aerofoil profile impellers. it is suitable for compartment ventilation where it is required to have large capacity at a relatively low pressure, such as engine rooms on board yachts. this series, which is different from normal axial fans, results in a better overall performance. for more than a decade now, the company has provided a Gianneschi Service, performing repairs and giving technical assistance where needed, in addition to giving product and administrative assistance. Gianneschi also delivers a large range of stainless steel homologated fire dampers a0-a60 fire class, with med classification.

OUTFITTERS PAGE New SeaBubble Silent Flying Water Taxis Launched

FarSounder Overlays S-57 & S-63 Charts

In June this year, Décision SA, which forms part of the Carboman group and is a specialist in the development and prototyping of complex composite solutions, completed the first of its five SeaBubble water taxi prototypes. The vision of pioneering hydrofoiling yachtsman Alain Thébault and champion windsurfer Anders Bringal, the premise of SeaBubble is a revolutionary and green urban transportation network that uses the waterways of our major cities. Passengers will ride in composite SeaBubble water taxis that fly silently above the water surface powered by a clean charging electric drive system. The project has already secured impressive funding as one of the fastest growing start-ups in France, and plans to operate in 50 major cities within the next five years.

FarSounder, a U.S. based high technology marine electronics manufacturer specializing in underwater acoustics, has upgraded its innovative SonaSoft software to be compatible with S-57 and S-63 Charts. Anyone using these chart formats is now able to overlay real-time data on their charts using FarSounder’s software and reap the many benefits of its innovative Forward Looking Sonar. “The operators of those ships preferring to use S-57 and S-63 charts are important to us,” said Cheryl M. Zimmerman, CEO of FarSounder. “Our team has worked diligently, with the user in mind, to make this option a reality for them.”

WORD ON THE SEA

SuperYacht Industry’s Marco Geels

MYS big, bigger, biggest Once again, the Monaco Yacht Show has taken place at the sunny Port Hercules. Our Editor Julia Zaltzman and I were both there to admire the greatest superyachts at the biggest and luxurious show, and to network with current and potential business relations. The Monaco Yacht Show is one of the most important shows in our calendar, and we’re happy to say that SuperYacht Industry has been a media partner of the show for eleven years now. This year, it welcomed almost 590 exhibiting companies and 125 of the world’s most extraordinary one-off superyachts. There were so many highlights during the show, one of which was the official unveiling of Royal Huisman’s new project ‘Marlin’ – a bespoke retro-classic motor yacht with timeless exterior lines designed by Frers Naval Architecture and an interior design by the creative talents of Stirling & Co Interior Design. This yacht is offered for sale by Fraser, and I am eager, as I’m sure many of you are too, to see this dream yacht become a reality. Another project worth mentioning is German yacht builder Nobiskrug’s announced collaboration with Winch Design on a new 85m concept. A striking

dark blue hull and snow-white superstructure set the tone for this edgy, modern design. It goes without saying that there were plenty of cocktail parties and evening events to attend over the course of the four days, and I’m happy to say that I managed to find a fine balance between mixing business with pleasure. Both the Holland Yachting Group Party and the Oculus/ YachtCloud Party were two very well organised events that I attended and felt worth mentioning, and throughout the course of the show I met some promising new companies and gathered a lot of interesting news for the upcoming issues of SuperYacht Industry. The Monaco Yacht Show proved, once again, to be an unmissable opportunity to see what’s in store for the industry in 2018. I hope you, too, had an enjoyable show, and I look forward to seeing you at METS.

“Glass technology is at the forefront of the design, as the yacht not only enjoys large, multi-deck panoramic windows, but even the bulwarks are glazed, creating a very special open feeling towards the sea” Ken Freivokh, MY Euphoria, Mayra Yachts 2016
