The courage to be yourself Before the launch of the very first printed edition of Superyacht Digest in May, we have decided to dedicate this issue to those figures who with their personality, each on their field, have created a unique style or expressed something new and highly recognizable.

Rock, cool! We mean those people who have done something notewhorty and really amazing, by simply expressing theirselves and their joy of life through their "products", above all without any help from marketing activities.

Those who in only 6 months have positively captivated the audience, like Sirena Marine. Those who with an innocent presentation at a media lunch, have seduced the audience with an elegant and pure project, like Hamid Bekradi.

Those who, like Marco Mehn at Boot DĂźsseldorf, have had the courage to exhibit their strongly innovating artworks, who deserved the compliments by Prince Albert II of Monaco, among designers and shipyards.

Those, like Axel Crieger, who have intelligently evoked the difficult deep soul of Frida Kahlo and celebrated the character in a completely different environment, courageously and apparently out of context.

Those who with their pure and natural attitude towards the creation of design products become Ambassadors of the Italian excellence and knowhow, or those who, thanks to their strong product and brand identity, are able to create (more than others) great expectation among the public, clients and guests with only a design project.

Then come the design capitals, the places to be in order to experience the latest trends not only in terms of design but also in terms of ability of a city to host an event and, consequently, to transform itself accordingly.

And finally, Antartica. the ultimate travel experience for those who see luxury as a combination of culture, adventure and... relax.

SIRENA MARINE AND THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

by PAMEL A PAC I

Ipek Kiraç is the youngest enterpreneur in the yachting sector. With her 26 years, she is also the youngest in the Forbes List concerning the wealthiest people in Turkey.

At only 21 she is appointed as CEO of Sirena Marine, one of the 8 subsidiaries of the Kiraça Group, the company founded by her father in 1998, leader in Turkey in the automotive sector with over 1,300 employed and with a consolidated turnover of around 350 mln Euros. But the story does not end here. She graduates from Koç Private High School in 2002, where today she is Member of the Management Committee, and in 2007, from Brown University with a degree in Biology, university where she still continues her studies with a Master in Public Health. Another, but not secondary, aspect about her life, involves the Suna & Inan Kiraç Foundation, founded by her and her parents in 2003 with the mission to provide material and moral opportunities to individuals and organizations for raising socially-beneficial and patriot citizens, to

SUPERYACHT DIGEST | January 2017

contribute to the social life and accordingly, to conduct activities in education, culture, art and healthcare. The Foundation in 2005 gave birth to the Pera Museum and to the Istanbul Research Institute focused on the Byzantine, Ottoman and Republic Studies.

Grown up in a family deeply in love with the sea and navigation, Ipek was studying in America when her father asked her to join the management team at Sirena Marine. The mother fell sick and her presence became suddenly necessary. Today with pride, strong motivation and true passion she drives Sirena Marine, a shipyard that since the year of its foundation in 2006, has manufactured over 300 yachts, becoming one of the most important yacht manufacturer in the Mediterranean area with more than 250 motor yachts and 90 sailboats built to date. © IMAGES (PAG. 7): from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Orientalist Painting Collection "Intersecting Worlds"

Sirena Marine was founded as a result of an agreement between Kiraça Holding and world-famous motor yacht manufacturer Azimut - Benetti Group. Today, Sirena Marine produces its own sailboats product lines, under the AZUREE and EUPHORIA brands, in its fully integrated 155,000 square meter facilities and since September 2016 – the year when they celebrated 10 years of success – is present in the motor yacht market with their new brand, Sirena Yachts. In January and March 2017 the International boat shows in Dusseldorf and Miami have seen the globl premiere of their first two units of the new model Sirena 64 and Sirena 56.

while the interior designs bear the signature of Spadolini Design Studio.

First presented in Boot Dusseldorf 2017, Sirena 64 is the 20,74-meter first model of the series. German Frers, in charge of her naval architecture exterior design and engineering, emphasizes the customizability and comfort of the design: “There are three optional interior layouts of generous volume for serious world family cruising in great comfort including large glass windows for a good view to the sea and plenty of natural light. The hull design was developed in depth, including testing of three families of models at the Wolfson Unit towing tank facility in Southampton (UK). In addition, seakeeping tests were conducted on a self propelled 1/3 scale model of the hull”.

Both are the result of the care and meticulous attention to detail of Frers Naval Architecture & Engineering,

The result is a low-drag hull, capable of planing at high speeds, while being very fuel-efficient (20% better than competition at 12-16 knots) and comfortable at typical cruising speeds and in anchor, with the aid of its gyrostabilizers. Drawing from the company’s experience in the automotive sector, the hull is made with a new vinyl ester infusion process, significantly increasing its resistance to the dreaded osmosis blisters and thus ensuring better longevity. Thanks to its 850hp CAT motors the boat can achieve a top speed of up to 27 knots (more powerful motors also offered as an option). At 10 knots cruising speed, her range is up to 1000 miles and the fuel consumption is around 48 liters per hour.

18,68-meter Sirena 56 has the standing of her bigger sister as well. Her construction technology reduces weight and improves construction quality and consistency. Carbon hybrid fabrics were chosen in the design process for improved lightness and strength.

Bulkheads are made of sandwich PVC and secondary bonded to the hull with lamination. With its standard 650hp CAT motor configuration, this yacht can achieve a top speed of 29,4 knots.

At economy cruising speed she can easily achieve a range of 850 nautical miles. Sirena 56 is also available in two different internal layout options and a more powerful engine configuration can also be arranged.

MEETING IPEK KIRAÇ it is true, but a sit is all around the world. This situation is really effecting us but there are still some people who are interested in our products and we hope that this situation changes. Our development plans include another Headquarters in Europe for a second facility where to build bigger boats. It is a work-in-progress so I can’t unveil any detail at this moment. What I can say now is that we have to think of the clients, because they have to come to visit the boat during construction, and if for any reason they do not want to come to Turkey, for us it is a problem.

I have to do whatever it is necessary in order to achieve our goals.

- INTERVIEW Q: This is the first time you are in this market as motor yacht builder.

What is your personal vision and perception of the market, and what are the main key-points of Sirena Yachts?

A: This is our first time we present Sirena Marine with our own brand in the motor yacht sector. It is a very difficult but challenging market but we are very confident of what we are able to do. We have been building boats since 2006, sailing yachts under our own brands and motor boats for Azimut.

This important experience has given us the occasion to learn and to improve our abilities as manufacturer, giving us the right push to the building of our own models. We are a passion-driven company. We love what we do. Secondly, our team is young and qualified. This factor combined with the capacity of our yard to do everything in house, gives us the possibility to be a good competitor.

Q: Now, let me ask some personal questions to Ipek as young woman – and not as Sirena’s CEO. Who is Ipek and what or who inspires you in your job?

A: I am in this sector as CEO of a shipyard but I have a totally different background. I am a biologist, and obtaining a Master in Public Health.

And to give a personal answer to your personal question, I can tell you that I was studying in the U.S. when my mother fell sick. My father said “Ipek, come on”. I was the only child and he didn’t want to be alone. So he asked me to join the team of Sirena Marine. And here I am. But it was not difficult to me, boats are a familiar environment for me since all the time I spent with my family when I was a kid was on our

Q: Turkey is living tremendous years with a political situation remaining volatile and possible negative consequences on country’s economy, already affected by a significant drop in tourism. How much does the country’s image impact on your business and on the Made in Turkey?

A: In Turkey it is very hard today, yes,

boat. I mean, the little time we had, since my parents are work-aholics and worked all the time. I grew up on our Swan, designed by German Frers, and heard his name so many times that to me he has always been part of our family. So now that we have entered the motor boat industry, to me, it is a great pleasure to work with him, we have had the honour to design his (German Frers’s) art, we had the honour to design his (German Frers’s) art, with the amazing interiors by Tommaso Spadolini. I have a great team.

As to my inspirations, everything I do is inspired by my mother. She was – and she still is – a great woman. I try to continue and to carry on this work exactly as she has tought me.

Q: What are your passions?

© Images: from Istagram @ Darwin133

A: Photography, definitely. I usually spend so much time taking photographs.

I like the wild nature, leale, trees.

I love black and white, landscapes, portraits. It is my favourite hobby, but I have never taken specific lessons yet.

I would like to learn more, so to make better pictures.

A: I really do not know, because this industry is very difficult. I have never bought a superyacht – one day I will buy it and German (she said looking at him and smiling, ed) will build the boat! We now build, let’s say, mini superyachts, and what I know is that there is a lack in culture. For example, in Turkey, which as territory and landscape, is almost an Island, because geographically Turkey is surrounded by four seas on three sides and there are so many people in Instanbul for example who have never seen water. So I think we should try to educate people what boating is, to increase the perception of the product. And above all, not only in terms of finished product, but we should make people better involve in all the building process, from the painting to the decision of every single detail.

Q: Ipek, this is the market of UHNWIs – or in other words, top spenders, the richest people, and your name appear in the Forbes List of your country. This is a very unique aspect, you own a real added value, since you also embody your potential client and perfectly know all the driving factors of purchase.

What does the yachting market need to grow. Only a little percentage of UHNWI owns a megayacht. How do you think that the yachting market can improve to increse this result?

way to present yourself as a rock businesswoman, strong, fearless, unconventional?

A: It is exaclty what you see. Just my hair, part of who I am. I want to appear exacty as I am. Because for our shipyard it is not a business focused on financial results but rather it is built on our passions. We are very confident in what we are doing that we do not need to adjust according to what people usually expect from a shipyard. WE do not want to be conventional. Of course, we want to achieve good financial results too. But we do not want to be richi with this business. We just want to be proud of what we do. I know that in this industry passioni s a cliche, but for us it is really our mission, our fuel.

So te colour of my hair is something connected with our goal, if you want to find out a meaning behind it. I spent my all life acting the way people expected me to. But it is not the way I want to live. And that’s why I have green hair. I do not want to be perceived as rock, but rather, yes, I can say, I am completely involved and excited in what I do. I am very glad about our work. We do not want to build just another boat.

But we want to make our owner feel special. From the very first moment of the purchase up to the resell. I do not know the other compagnie but we want to make our owner feel not like a client but like part of our familiy. Every person involved in the boat building process can reach me. This means that the perception we want to give is that all the team, from the workers up to the CEO, is competely dedicated to the project. Otherwise, it would be so frustrating.

Q: I remember your presentation in Cannes. It was for you the first time you talked to the media about Sirena Yachts, it was also the first time you introduce yourself on the International yachting stage.

I couldn’t do without notice your hair had some shades of green.

Does it have any meaning? Is it a 15

In fact, they have become standard-bearers for Made in Italy, conquering markets across the globe.

The latter sector comprises brands that have become international standard-bearers for their focus on delivering superbly high quality and meticulous crafting. The end resulting being, of course, beautiful yachts to which a whole string of businesses contribute to complete the complex jigsaw required to achieve true excellence.

Representing their respective companies, Barbara Amerio and Giangi Razeto will be talking about their professional and business experience. They will also each present a product made by their brand, that embodies Italian design values in general and Italian nautical design values in particular.

arco Mehn calls it: Evolution Art. This means that by all his techniques and materials he creates emotional key visuals of today’s lifestyle.

Not only in Europe he is an accepted and - by having sold a row of masterpieces - successful artist, painter and creator of 3D-objects, with thirty years’ experience in the art scene and business. He consistently ensures the creativity, quality and style of a trendsetter in modern painting, design and handling visual effects.

The archetypes of mankind (“The Big Five”; “Resurrection” or “Evolution Forever”) or the iconic heroes of music and aristocratic glamour (“Michael Jackson”; “Tribute to Grace Kelly”) are subjects of his remarkable and always impressive artistic style.

His vision is to depict modern ambiance and technique, let it influence an expressive, emotionalizing object and thus establish a “pioneering artwork”.

Like a mirror he reflects the luxurious taste and the ‘art of living” of today and tomorrow.

He considers himself an “Evolution artist”, someone who gives the art of today a glimpse how it will develop not only in the view of the art community but of all those who can afford such unique pieces of artwork as part of their lifestyle. So he reaches new target groups, as buyers and later collectors.

This evolution addresses the taste and ambition for luxury, not only the sophisticated spirit of art museums.

he established as an entrepreneur a company (with 80 employees) in the art niche of innovative and creative framing. Since the year 2000 he has concentrated all his efforts in combining his knowledge in topmaterials with an enormous creativity in painting. As one of the most-sought artist with -3D-Objects (sculpture like “El Diablo”or a world-famous BMWMini-Car with 20 hand-applied paints, three finishes and 40.000 Swarovski crystals.) he has had exhibitions in Munich (first in 2001), Vienna, Basel, Geneva, Monte Carlo, Paris and Dubai.

“Hopefully my glamorous art of causing emotions is a great benefit for everybody. Not only for the traditional art community but for all those who simply like and enjoy it but do not visit a museum or vernissage every day.”

Now he is heading for the United States and the UK. Hundreds of well sold pictures or objects in a prize range up to 325.000 $ are a sucess as such. Up to now not in galleries or via auctions but only at high-class fairs or luxury events like the ‘Masters of LXRY’ in 2016. This participation shows that buyers who like his style and collect his artwork give him the freedom to continuously follow his own way pf presenting it.

As a master of Multi-mixed-media technique his work is outstanding throughout Europe. From gold, silver and crystals to oil, chalk, dust and sand, everything gives his mult-dimensional pictures the typical touch.

In 2004 Marco Mehn has created (and is using since then) a unique steel- or aluminium-technique. The metal is not only the perfect frame but the pre-lasered material he is painting on, sometimes with a multitude of metal layers (3D-effect). It’s called Space Frame and he has a global patent on it since 2006.

As an example of those who love his artwork His Serene Highness The Sovereign Albert II Prince of Monaco can be mentioned. Not only a wedding gift (in 2011) of Marco Mehn’s artwork “My Great Love” is part of his palace.

More than that the artist was invited to Monte Carlo again and again.

Marco presented to him a painting of his mother, Princess Gracia, the former American actress Grace Kelly.

Spontaneously The Prince knelt down and hand-signed the painting (sse picture below) with the promise that this unicum can be auctioned for a charity cause.

In 2010 he added the fourth dimension into the 3D-paintings by integrating LED-light, in 2016 combined with half-round "Spacy balls". Worldwide he is the only artist working with this sophisticated high-tech approach.

Born in 1967 in Germany, Marco Mehn is a self-taught artist. He started his career aged 19 years. Until 1999

HAMID BEKRADI SUPERYACHT CONCEPT L'AMAGE 190

BY PAMEL A PAC I

L

’AMAGE, one of the largest luxury superyacht projects in the world, is the latest work of the visionary designer Hamid Bekradi, founder of his own studio, HBD Studios Yacht Styling. In September 2016, the project was presented at the Monaco Yacht Show during a press conference held together with Kymeta Corporation.

available technologies,”. He describes his approach as: “My background is in car design, so in this project I applied a similar approach to that of the "show cars" whereby lowering the concerns over the budget, designers will be given more freedom to envision ideas and solutions that normally could not be obtained in a project with tight budget limits."

L’Amage measures 190 meters of overall length (LOA) and a beam of 28.6 meters.

Passenger capacity of 30 guests, 14 staterooms plus a private apartment for the owner, and 70 crew members.

The inspiration behind this project was to design a "Futuristic Superyacht Style" that goes beyond a mere concept and yet stays within the borders of "Concept Plausibility" and “Technical Feasibility" based on today’s technology and manufacturing techniques.

Hence the project was developed in close collaboration with naval architects. Christoph Kuhnert from the Yacht Naval Architects (YNA) in Hamburg has consulted HBD Studios on the general feasibility of the concept and the hull shape since the beginning of the project. According to its designer, Hamid Bekradi, "This project was a challenge to see how far we can take the exterior styling of a superyacht towards a modern and futuristic look, which is still feasible based on today's

CRUISING IN SPEED AND STYLE… Using one of the most advanced propulsion technologies available in the maritime industry called CODAG (combination of diesel engines and gas turbines) together with controllable-pitch propellers this superyacht can reach a max speed of 32 knots thanks to the 95000hp generated by its 2 diesel engines running together with 2 gas turbines.

This propulsion system is mostly used for warships, where a speed faster than their cruising speed is required. The fuel capacity of 1500 tons enables this vessel an approx.

FRIDA IMAGINED BY AXEL CRIEGER

by MARTHA GILL

Axel Criger's digital paintings are an homage to the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo de Rivera (1907–1954). Inspired by Mexican popular culture, Frida Kahlo employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.

Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicanidad movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a Surrealist or magical realist. Her work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

First hit by polio as a child, and at eighteen seriously injured in a traffic accident, which caused her pain and medical problems for the rest of her life, Kahlo began to entertain the idea of becoming an artist during her long recovery. She was also interested in politics and in 1927 joined the Mexican Communist Party. Through the Party, she met the celebrated muralist Diego Rivera. They were married in 1928, and remained a couple until Kahlo's death. The relationship was volatile due to both having extramarital affairs; they divorced in 1940, but remarried the following year.

MUDEC - MILAN, 2018 In 2018 MUDEC will host a special tribute to Frida Kahlo with an exhibition of oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, letters and photographs. The works, come from the most important museums of Mexico and the United States.

50 YEARS OF ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION

hen Lars-Eric Lindblad, now considered the father of eco-tourism, led the first-ever citizenexplorer expedition to Antarctica 1966, he invented the category of expedition travel.

Along with him were 57 pioneering individuals, intrepid travelers, ready to embrace the notion of going where only professional explorers or scientists had gone before.

A 50+ year heritage of Antarctic travel On September 20, 1958, Lars-Eric Lindblad, considered by many to be the “father of ecotourism,” opened the doors to his new company, Lindblad travel. in New York City. As his company grew, he looked for new places on the map.

In 1966 he brought the first group of “citizen explorers” to Antarctica.

Over the subsequent 50+ years since, under the direction of his son, Sven Lindblad, his collective polar intelligence has grown exponentially through consecutive voyages, bringing his knowledge of Antarctica to a greater degree than any other company voyaging there.

JOURNEY TO ANTARTICA: THE WHITE CONTINENT As pioneers in exploration, National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions share a passion for adventure, discovery, and conservation.

The 148-guest National Geographic Explorer and 102-guest National Geographic Orion are purpose-built Antarctic expedition ships designed to safely explore Antarctica— the most remote, wild place on the planet. They are fully stabilized, ice-class vessels with ice-strengthened hulls strong enough to push through the Antarctic ice.

It is a privilege to visit Antarctica, one of the planet’s most pristine places, and to this privilege, National Geographic Explorer and National Geographic Orion adds the luxury of comfort—a quality of shipboard life and a philosophy of wellness designed to relax and rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit. There’s no need to dress up ever; life aboard is casual all the way. There’s no assigned seating in the dining room—whether you choose the dining room or one of your ships’ more casual dining spaces. In fact, SUPERYACHT DIGEST | March 2017

many tables accommodate uneven numbers, making for easy mingling and the fun of sharing breakfast, lunch, or dinner with different new friends, staff or guest speakers.

There are many reasons to explore Antartica.

Remote. Untrammeled.

Spectacular.

On board National Geographic ships, chefs use sustainable catch fish, whenever possible.

Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style while dinner is served. There are fish or meat choices at every meal, and chefs happily accommodate vegan or other special diet requests.

SUPERYACHT DIGEST | March 2017

Explorer and Orion also offers any number of places to pass time enjoyably alone, or with a small group—from the quiet of the windowed library with its lode of books aboard Explorer, to the forward-facing observation lounge aboard Orion with its walls of glass, binoculars 60

at the ready, plus cards, and games. On warm days, the ships’ expansive decks, furnished with tables, chairs, and chaises lounges, collects readers, watercolorists, journalers, and more.

Cabins are an inviting place to end your active day. You’ll find the bathroom stocked with organic botanical products.

And your bed is cossetted in our signature feather duvet with an organic cotton cover and cotton sheeting.

The lounge is the heart of the expedition community; the place for Recaps, where the photographers aboard set up their laptops to organize photo files.

The bow is another place where guests mingle with staff when underway to scan the sea for marine mammals.

Sauna, massage therapy and body treatments, inspired by the purity of the Antarctic environment are available in the wellness center, offering the best way to end an active day of exploring.
