Work in Progress

WHAT’S NEW

A selection of new projects and concepts from the leading international shipyards and design studios that will grace the waves in the near future

by Mary Hegarty and Désirée Sormani

Project Orca is a unique new 65m explorer yacht from Rosetti Superyachts that also incorporates many supply vessel characteristics. This is hardly surprising as the yard is part of Rosetti Marino SpA, a leading high-tech working vessel builder. Most significantly, however, the new beauty’s organic combination of curved and straight lines mimics those of the orca or killer whale which roams the world’s oceans just as Orca herself will do. The 65m has a sturdily robust profile with wraparound glazing and a boldlydesigned superstructure complete with a dorsal fin-like radar mast. Orca even sports the same white side patch as her namesake at owner deck level. Stretching a beamy 12 metres across and with an estimated gross tonnage of up to 1300GT, Orca offers four decks plus a tank-top deck. Owners, however, will have a choice of deck layouts. The standard version features an open aft section on the main deck for accommodating tenders, toys and a touch & go helipad. If this does not appeal, the zone can be fitted with an infinity pool overlooking the transom or a raised helipad with a pool and spa zone inside. A large garage aft on the lower deck will stow two large tenders or several jet skis and other toys. Guests are accommodated in two VIP suites and two staterooms forward the lower deck. The crew quarters are in the bow. The main deck features the large main saloon, dining room and another spacious VIP suite ROSETTI SUPERYACHTS _ORCA

forward with the galley and crew service areas to port. The owner’s apartment on the bridge deck includes his and hers bathroom, walk-in closets, a study and gym, and overlooks a private terrace aft. The large sun deck boasts full dining facilities, bar and sunning areas. Project Orca will have a range of approximately 5,000 nm at her economical 11-knot speed. www.rosettisuperyachts.it

NOBISKRUG _ 77 M BLACK SHARK

The 77-metre M/Y Black Shark is currently on schedule to meet her 2021 delivery date. Her builder, Nobiskrug, the German shipyard, which is celebrating its 115th anniversary this year, came late to superyachts. However, its first project, the 92m Tatoosh in 2000, proved a huge success. This combined with its pledge to focus on building one superyacht at a time quickly earned Nobiskrug a reputation for quality and class. It is also renowned for innovating and pushing the boundaries of both naval architecture and design, thanks to an ability to build up to 426 metres. At last year’s keel-laying ceremony, Chief Executive Evgeniy Kochman of Imperial, the superyacht management firm representing the owner, declared M/Y Black Shark to be a major milestone for his company too, as she is the very first Imperial vessel designed with Winch Design and Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Black Shark’s name is reflected in her imposing dark livery and highly distinctive reverse bow which will ensure she cleaves the

waves very much like a shark on the hunt. The head-turner’s powerful dynamic exteriors are the work of design legends Winch Design, while Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design has brought a sleek contemporary vibe to her expansive interiors which are spread over three decks. There is no stinting on amenities either as Black Shark will have two luxury tenders, a very generous on-deck whirlpool, and a large beach club and spa area. It is significant too that she is being built to comply with the new IMO Tier 3 regulations and Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A – no small feat in itself. Nobiskrug is so excited to be working with not one but two high profile design teams and the highly experienced Imperial on this absolutely bespoke project that they have decided to provide exclusive behind-the-scenes access throughout the normally highly-secretive build process. Now that says a lot about the confidence the German yard has in its latest project. www.nobiskrug.com

The extremely elegant, modern Codecasa 55 C123 is currently in-build at the Tuscan yard. Stretching 55m in length and 10.2 in the beam, the full-custom fourdecker has a high-resistance AH36 steel hull topped by an aluminium superstructure. Designed entirely by Codecasa’s own technical team, this is a displacement yacht with a very high standard of quality and technical spec. The exterior styling features spare, rather essential lines very much in the yard’s own tradition. The interiors are large

and particularly bright thanks to expansive windows on all decks. The interior design will be created by the owner’s personal architect in collaboration with Codecasa’s style office. The owner’s suite aside, the Codecasa 55 will have a VIP stateroom and four guest cabins. There will also be six two-berth crew cabins in addition to the captain’s. Twin Cats will unleash 17 knots in light displacement mode. Delivery is scheduled for this coming summer. www.codecasayachts.com

DLBA _ 45M HYBRID EXPLORER YACHT D LBA Naval Architects is behind the radical design of an ultra-efficient hybrid explorer that minimises environmental impact from engines to interior. Ideal for exploration-hungry superyacht owners that want a vessel that pays more than lip service to green tech, the good-looking 45m’s fast explorer hull is based on DLBA’s proprietary hull form for both high speed 25-knot transits and efficient 16- knot cruising, an unusual feat for a hybrid of this size. Dieselelectric-hybrid propulsion slashes fuel consumption, emissions, noise, and vessel maintenance costs at low speeds. The exhaust after-treatment is IMO Tier 4-compliant for go-anywhere capability. No old growth hardwoods were used in the interior design. Instead, bamboo has cut yacht’s overall footprint to the bone. Waste heat recovery from the generators provides hot water. Flat panel satellite antennas reduce weight on the mast to improve roll stability too. A central audio-visual entertainment system and a VR entertainment room will keep guests entertained. https://dlba-inc.com

Abaco, the new Baglietto penned by Santa Maria Magnolfi, is a tribute by the yard and designer to one of the Bahamas islands worst hit by Hurricane Dorian. In fact, a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the first example will be donated to the Abaco reconstruction project. The modern 40m is perfect for warm, shallow waters. Her main deck has over 120 sqm of al fresco space with the aft cockpit and the beach club complete with infinity pool, creating in a single area in direct contact with the sea. The conversation area behind it can convert

to a 16-seater dining area. Further forward, the winter garden with bar and living area has floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and so can be opened right up. Even the main saloon’s large side windows and aft area open up. The result is a potential 150 sqm of al fresco space on a single deck. The upper deck, sundeck, and bow area add 170 sqm more. The interior features teak, wicker, raffia and linen with tropical woods adding an exotic touch. A master suite and four guest cabins comprise the accommodations. www.baglietto.com

SAME CULTURE, NEW HORIZONS

From the first Technema 65 in 1976 to the majestic 80m Chopi Chopi, the Zuccon International Project studio has always flanked yacht design with a history of innovation and success, resulting in the creation of more than a hundred different boat models. Today, this forty-year experience has been renewed, backing the new generation that shares the running of the studio and looks to the future while remaining rooted in the firm’s traditional and sound design culture.

Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, 50m superyacht concept, Alfa, is penned by Enrico Gobbi, founder of Venice-based architecture practice Team for Design, for Rossinavi. Alfa’s sporty good looks take their lead from Alfa Romeo’s luxury cars. The straight, rather severe bow and pronounced forward section of the hull reference the Italian marque’s signature front grille. Alfa has spacious, elegantly-appointed interiors despite her ultra-sleek lines. Team for Design’s floor-to-ceiling windows have become a signature of its work and guarantee wonderful views from

the upper deck, the master suite, main deck saloon and guest cabins. They also further slenderise Alfa’s profile. Another feature of recent Team for Design yachts is the master suite opening onto a small balcony to port and a full-beam one to starboard for extra room and panoramic vistas. Alfa features countless classic and sports carinspired details. Her stern also opens to reveal a split-level space with a lounge area, a waterfall pool and a sundeck that guests can dive from. www.teamfordesign.com

Style, elegance and performance

Elevators with sinuous shapes and attractive design are the perfect solution to luxurious, exclusive settings.

The use of valuable materials combined with modern high technologies can meet the most particular needs in terms of space and design. Personalization and customisation is our must.

A particular attention is paid to norms and regulations in force in the elevator industry as well as to materials and their treatment in order to make them suitable for installation and functioning into a marine environment.
