The auction isn’t over until the gavel drops, and for Jussi Pylkkänen, live-streaming of the global art market is only just getting started.

Britain remains ever hopeful about bringing the ‘Auld Mug’ home, and five-time Olympian Sir Ben Ainslie believes Britannia is the boat to do it.

They say life is what happens when you’re busy making plans, and the year 2020 has more than proven that. Who could have foreseen the global impotence that Covid-19 would bring to bear? At Cecil Wright & Partners we weathered the storm with stoic calm and remain focused on our core group of clients with a vested interest in the large custom yacht market.

And they don’t come much bigger than Vard’s REV. At 182.9m REV will be the largest yacht in the world when it delivers in 2021. Across all shipyards there are 19 yachts over 100m currently in build (15 of which are Northern European pedigree). That includes Lürssen’s 158m PROJECT BLUE – the largest Northern European yacht currently in build – due for delivery in 2023. When the last to deliver completes in 2025, the global fleet of 100m+ yachts will have increased by 33 per cent from the 58 that exist today.

But size is not everything, quality is; and 13 of the 59 yachts in build at Northern European pedigree yards at present are Feadships. Our close affinity with the Dutch shipyard has always been a reciprocal affair, now more so than ever.

NEW TO CHARTER

N E W WOR L D V I N TAGE There is something magical about a classic yacht. Akin to a vintage car, they have an irresistible grace and beauty that is hard to replicate with modern designs. A classic Feadship is something truly special and an astonishing number launched over three decades ago are still sailing today. Known as the ‘Feadship Heritage Fleet’ yachts have been painstakingly maintained or restored by obsessive owners and are testimony to Feadship’s standards of construction.

ISTROS, meaning ‘inspiration’ in ancient Greek, was built for the Pappadakis shipping family in 1954 by Amsterdam Shipyard Ltd. of Gerard de Vries Lentsch Jr. When delivered she was one of the largest motor yachts built in the Netherlands. The local press reported excitedly on her “sumptuously furnished cabins”, “violet blue-tinted bathrooms”, and new-fangled telephones that could “make calls to anywhere in the world”. Her subsequent history is less clear. She won Best Restored Vessel at the Prada Classic Yacht Show in 2001, but when spotted in Malta in 2015 by her current captain, Tristan Le Brun, she was in a pitiful state.

OW N ER’S PA S SION FOR YACH T I NG This is the 4th yacht and 3 rd rebuild for the owner. He is passionate about yachting and takes huge pride in the restoration of ISTROS. The owner had been looking for a candidate for restoration for some time, and immediately saw ISTROS’ huge potential, with her classic shape.

“The whole idea behind ISTROS when we found the hull was to create a gentleman’s yacht that combined a classic soul with modern conveniences,” explains the captain. “The owner loves technology and with help from Feadship we’ve pushed it even further, because in some ways she’s actually ahead of her time, which is fantastic for a 65-year-old hull.”

“We weren’t looking for any old hull,” he adds. “We’d seen what Feadship had achieved with refits like MONARA and SULTANA, so knew they could offer the highest quality standards. It’s been a massive challenge for all concerned, but I don’t believe we could have done it without Feadship. Indeed, the entire Feadship team rose to the challenge.”

ISTROS was completely stripped down to a bare hull in Valletta, then shipped to the Netherlands in April 2019 and transported to a specialist subcontractor where she remained for the next three months.

While the hull underwent reconstructive surgery, Feadship was fashioning a new aluminium superstructure to replace the old steel deckhouse removed in Malta. With very few original plans available and building beginning before the hull was on site, this relied entirely on laser measurements. Thanks to 3D scanning both teams could work concurrently without the yacht being present. The result was a new aluminium superstructure that fitted perfectly.

The new interior layout was designed to fulfil today’s charter expectations. This meant maximising the accommodation.

New CAT C18 main engines have freed up space for the staterooms, and the yacht has been made as eco-friendly as possible, it has also resulted in one of the quietest yachts available.

Van Geest Design created a family-oriented interior that delivers contemporary elements in a Scandinavian style Practicality is a priority: crew can now access fresh linen, towels and cleaning materials via underbed storage.

C A P TA I N T R ISTA N L E BRU N Tristan is just as passionate and proud of ISTROS’ transformation as her owner . “On most busy charter yachts and despite the constant upkeep, the interior quickly starts to look a bit tired,” says Tristan. “Our goal is that guests have the same impression of immaculate freshness as though no one else had been on board before them, day after day.”

ISTROS’ transformation completed in September 2020 and the crew are busy preparing for her first charter season in 2021.

“ I’m absolutely delighted to welcome ISTROS to our charter fleet. There are few classic yachts of this calibre available to charter.

She will be in huge demand.”

BR E A K I NG T H E W AV E S Feeling close to nature is food for the soul but inspiring people to protect it is food for the planet. When Matt Porteous launched Ocean Culture Life, he turned his passion for ocean storytelling into a veritable feast for the senses.

Jersey-born photographer Matt Porteous grew up surfing waves; amid the plunging breakers is where he learned a deep respect for the ocean.

In 2015, his wanderlust took him to Hawaii for El Nino season, and the tropical islands’ progressive attitude towards ocean conservation led him to establish Ocean Culture Life; a global community of ocean storytellers whose mission is to effect change by creating engaging conversations around ocean conservation. “ We’ve been building a recognised stor y teller platform for years, and now we’re opening it up to everyone,” says the accomplished freediver. “It’s only when you get enough people talking about a subject that society really starts to listen.”

Working with ‘ocean guardians’ – from Blue Marine Foundation to Six Senses in the Maldives – Porteous has created stories around sustainable fishing, sea grass protection and even the biggest marine park in Europe. With his trusted Fuji in hand when on land and his Canon when in water, Porteous captures and frames compelling stories within a single image.

He has spent over a decade honing his skill as a commercial photographer – Harpers Bazaar place him as one of the world’s best! – but below the breaking waves is where he feels comfort.

“On the surface it’s like a storm, but when you’re deep beneath the waves there’s a certain calm that most people never realise is there. That’s where I like to be.”

BROK E R’ S LOG Monaco Yacht Show, September 2019: Riding high off the back of a string of exciting brokerage deals, we debuted a fresh new stand opposite our central agency Feadship NEW HAMPSHIRE on Quai l’Hirondelle. At anchor, another beautiful central agency Feadship HERCULINA was joined by the renowned pedigree Oceanco SUNRISE. The show buzzed and we all felt very proud not just to be cementing our position in the quality Northern European brokerage market, but to take the opportunity to express who we are, and why we have adopted our individual philosophy in this marketplace. How pleased we now are to have done that in person, shaken so many hands and enjoyed the company of our clients and industry friends without a thought for the restrictions that now govern our lives.

BROK E R N E WS

Following the show, we were propelled through the next few months; all of us travelling week in, week out. I put down the phone to a client in New York on 30 December and thought nothing of leaving the next

day, spending New Year’s Eve on a plane and hitting 2020 running in Ft. Lauderdale with clients, inspections, dinners and sea trials.

However, by February it was clear what was coming, and the travel schedule took on a unique sense of purpose, together with an increasing sense of unease.

At home, March 2020: As we went into lockdown our efforts over the winter resulted in various contracts executed, charters pending, and closings planned. In one example, we had a 70m deal that was surveyed and from which I had just returned from sea-trialling in

Feadship shines bright Feadship enjoyed an excellent evening at this year’s World Superyacht Awards, making a clean sweep of all the Neptune trophies for which it was nominated. The virtual presentation event on Friday 13 November saw PI, NAJIBA and LADY S each triumph in their respective categories, with PI taking home the ultimate accolade by winning the Motoryacht of the Year award. Winner over 5000GT was Lürssen’s mighty FLYING FOX.

the Caribbean, with the yacht then making its way to US/Bahamas to close. Our client’s crew were gathering in the UK ready to head to their new charge when the US closed its doors and they were promptly sent back to their families. Many new build clients received letters from their shipyards advising of delays and calling force majeure as delivery schedules came under threat and their supply chains faltered. Charters were cancelled across the board. It was a lot to digest.

Once locked down we set about using this technological advantage to promote our Central Agency fleet online. We invited brokers from all over the word, sometimes 30 or more at a time, taking tours of our 3D scans via Zoom calls with captains hosting. Many hours were spent with our clients conducting 3D walkthroughs. The result? Five MOAs signed since lockdown, of which two have completed, two remain active, and the one that got away remains in high demand.

The Cecil Wright team, like so many businesses, gathered together from our homes on Zoom calls. Chris was adamant that the guiding principles on which the business was established would see us through. We can now report that, in fact, those principles are seeing us flourish.

In terms of market sentiment, a glance at Henry’s broker news will confirm that the sale and purchase market has returned remarkably well. We see this as testament to the fact that a well-run yacht with appropriate procedures and a robust testing regime is the safest place to be. We also detect a very clear sense of purpose among our clients to cruise to places they have always wanted to visit.

Fundamentally, we are determined to remain a nimble and authentic business that is focused on a select few client relationships, as opposed to having large

The unique sense of freedom a yacht offers now seems more apparent than ever and, at the time of writing, that sentiment has turned to open optimism with vaccines and improved treatments on the horizon, markets faring well and the US election behind us.

There seems, to us, an overwhelming sense that it will soon be time to go yachting again!

offices and a high headcount.

And that has helped! Also, critically, we are technology focused, having over the past four years pioneered the use of 3D scanning.

As brokers we do this ourselves. Time consuming and sometimes travel heavy though it is, we find it causes us to inspect every detail and spend valuable time with crew.

So, our view of the coming months? We expect the present sales trend to continue or even improve and we are bracing for a surge in the charter market next summer. Onwards and upwards!

BROKER

YAC H T S U RV E I L L A NC E From the 1 November, 2019 until the time of writing* there has been 546 yacht sales over 24m worldwide with a total value of over EUR 3.35 billion / USD 4 billion totalling 17.9km / 11.12 miles in length. Given the global events that have turned the planet on its head, one would expect there to have been a reduction in the number of sales given the uncertainty and restrictions on movement.

There have, in fact, been 29 more sales than in the Nov 2018 – Nov 2019 period, and I anticipate this will further increase given we are only halfway through November 2020. There is a flurry of activity in the market at the moment; the team at Cecil Wright are due to close two deals before the end of the month.

BROK E R N E WS

Looking back from March to May this year, there was a huge slump in sales – approximately a 50 per cent drop compared to figures in 2018 and 2019. There is no doubt that what appears to be a recovery of the market is, in part, the sales that should have taken place earlier in the lag period. That said, we have seen and are continuing to see clients who would traditionally charter decide instead to move into ownership. This is largely down to how they adjust their yacht usage plans around the potential of a repeat of 2020’s restrictions.

The most significant sales to take place in the past 12 months include the 111.5m Lürssen TIS (2019 / 2020) asking EUR 275,000,000, the 83.0m Amels HERE COMES THE SUN (2017) asking EUR 155,000,000 and the 74.0m CRN ODYSSEY II (ex CLOUD 9, 2017) asking EUR 84,000,000. The latter has been sold for the third time since her 2017 launch.

Entering onto the market we have a number of interesting options; the 107.6m Benetti LUMINOSITY (2020) asking EUR 225,000,000, is the largest of the new inventory and coming in at 5,844 gross tons she is more than double the tonnage of the 85.0m Lürssen ACE (2012 / 2019) which comes in at 2,850 gross tons and is asking EUR 119,000,000.

Also of particular note are the 68.2m Abeking & Rasmussen SOARING (2020) and the stunning 67.2m Alloy sailing yacht VERTIGO (2011 / 2019) asking EUR 45,000,000.

F E A DSH I P M A R K ET In the 12-month period since November 2019, there have been 16 yachts lost from the Feadship Market, of which eight are sales and the other eight withdrawn. The most significant sales were 73.0m HASNA (2017) asking EUR 92,500,000; 62.0m NEW HAMPSHIRE (2005 / 2017) asking EUR 38,950,000; 50.3m BROADWATER (2000 / 2017) asking USD 22,900,000 and 34.6m LETANI (2017) asking EUR 21,000,000.

Cecil Wright & Partners were responsible for the sale of the stunning NEW HAMPSHIRE. Having acted on the buy side when we acquired her as POSITIVE CARRY in 2016, she underwent a comprehensive refit at Pendennis that really took her to the next level. We are delighted with the sale and look forward to the next.

Other sales of note were: MINDERELLA – 58.8m (1986 / 2016) asking USD 14,900,000 TUGATSU – 45.2m (1989 / 2012) asking EUR 5,900,000 AVANTE V – 36.6m (1974 / 2018) asking USD 4,950,000 During this period there have been 11 additions to the Feadship market; standout yachts include the 62.3m FLAG (2000 / 2012) asking USD 46,000,000. She has a great charter reputation and neatly fills the hole in the market that the sale of NEW HAMPSHIRE has created. The 61.9m SEA OWL (2013) asking EUR 89,000,000 has arguably one of the most intricate interiors of any Feadship I have seen. Beautifully designed by Winch Design she is also of a very high technical specification and her seven-cabin layout gives great versatility. Another interesting addition is the 42.6m FULL MOON (2003 / 2017) asking USD 15,900,000. She was launched

as ANGIAMO and was the first Feadship Explorer; fast forward to 2018 and the most recent was the Cecil Wright & Partners new-build project SHERPA (73.6m).

Other additions of note are: SEA HUNTRESS – 55.0m (1997 / 2013) asking EUR 22,750,000 SUSSURRO – 49.5m (1998) asking EUR 18,000,000 EXCELLENCE – 46.6m (2001 / 2019) asking USD 16,900,000 Of the other Feadships on the market of particular note are: PARAFFIN – 60.1m (2001 / 2010) asking EUR 28,500,000 CYNTHIA – 55.5m (2005 / 2018) asking USD 25,900,000 BLU 470 – 49.8m (1990 / 2014) asking EUR 14,000,000 LADY MAY – 46.2m (2014) asking USD 27,900,000 DOJO – 45.7m (1981 / 2018) asking EUR 10,000,000 SPACE – 44.6m (2007 / 2018) asking EUR 22,500,000 MOON SAND – 44.2m (2015) asking EUR 27,950,000.

If looked at in more detail, there are areas of the Feadship market that I would suggest are moving towards a sellers’ market. As an example, CYNTHIA is the only 50.0m – 60.0m Feadship launched post 2000 on the market today and I don’t anticipate she will be available for much longer.

As ever, there are some off market opportunities in both the Feadship market and the wider market, for which details are available on request.

SM A RT A RT “Auction has always been great theatre.

But we felt that we could reach out to a much bigger audience and bring what Christie’s does best into people’s living rooms.” Jussi Pylkkänen is speaking about the new livestream format that the world’s biggest auction house has adopted. It’s a success story that makes multi-million pound sales accessible, keeps the 18th century establishment contemporary and offers a vital lifeline amidst Covid-19. For Christie’s global president, it’s all in a day’s work.

In October 2020, Christie’s opened its 20th Century London to Paris auction series selling a total of £90,279,883 across four auctions simultaneously live-streamed from Paris and London.

Over 190,000 viewers tuned in to watch. Among the top lots of the evening were Peter Doig’s ‘Boiler House’, which achieved £13,895,50 0, and David Hockney’s ‘Portrait Of Sir David Webster’, which was sold to raise vital funds for London’s Royal Opera House and achieved £12,865,000.

“Livestreaming from two cities creates a different dynamic,” explains Finnish-born Pylkkänen, “because you don’t just have the competition amongst the telephone bidders but amongst two auctioneers as we try to figure out where the final bid is going to come from.”

Pylkkänen, who specialises in impressionist and modern art, has an almost mythical reputation amongst those in the know. Just a handful of paintings in the world have sold for $100 million or more, and Pylkkänen – the man with the Midas touch – has presided over most.

The turning point c ame in 2010 when Pic asso’s ‘Nude, Green Leaves and Bust’ sold for a staggering $106,482,496 (£80,428,100*). Since then, works of art by Giacometti, Bacon and Modigliani have joined the $100 million-plus club, but it was the 2017 New York sale of Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Salvator Mundi’ painted circa 1500 that truly captures the imagination.

In a frenzied phone auction presided over by the enigmatic Pylkkänen, two collectors fought it out in a furious bidding war that culminated in the record sale price of $450,312,500 (£3 42,182,751). O ver t wo million pe ople watche d t he televised sale.

“That was the moment when I understood that everyone who watched it had exactly the same experience as those of us in the room,” says Pylkkänen.

Even when watched three years later the tension is palpable.

Murmurs of amazement rise and fall from an audience roused by vast sums of money, enthralled by Pylkkänen’s 19-minute performance. He holds court with gavel in hand, sprinkling humour and panache over a gawping front row before pausing for effect and allowing the room to fall silent. Pylkkänen believes that a great auctioneer can bring 25 per cent more to the value of a work of art. But where does the auction room excitement originate?

“It’s an interesting cocktail because the artworks are symphonies v ying with each other in a marketplace tr ying to accredit them with proportionate values,” he says. “Then you have the gladiatorial combat of individuals wanting to acquire them, the psychology of when people drop out or come back in, and the history of the artwork. I stood up at the beginning of the Da Vinci sale and said, ‘Now we have the Leonardo ‘Salvator Mundi’, previously in the collections of three Kings of England’. And that is a powerful start.”

The art market today is increasingly global – Asian collectors represent 33% of Christie’s art sales worldwide. But Covid restrictions have forced Christie’s to invent a new vocabulary for the art world. One thing that will never alter, however, is the thrill of possibility. “The piece isn’t sold until the gavel drops,” says Pylkkänen. And that is the magic of auction. *Written 18th November 2020

FE A DSHIP FAC TS #6

S T ROK E OF GEN I US When Dutch shipyard Feadship delivered superyacht SAVANNAH in 2015 she came with a list of firsts. Most notable is the fact she was the world’s first hybrid superyacht.

The pioneering electro-mechanical propulsion platform placed Feadship firmly ahead of the pack and shipyards the world over rallied as best they could in a bid to catch up. But at a length of 83.5m, SAVANNAH’S exterior paint job also stretched the limits of aesthetic capabilities. With 3,200msq surface area to cover, SAVANNAH emerged victorious from her custom-built paint tent as the largest metallic painted object in the world. And this is how Feadship did it…

Feadship tells us that, “There are yacht s, and there are Feadships”. The complexity, skill, quality of finish and sheer scale of SAVANNAH’s remarkable paint job alone qualifies that statement. But when the paint job accounts for between five and ten per cent of the total new build cost it becomes startingly clear that there’s more to the complex process than meets the eye. This is, no doubt, why Feadship has an entire in-house team dedicated to getting it just right.

All Feadship yachts are fully custom, which means every element of the build brings its own set of unique challenges. But, an exterior paint job, which represents around one third of the total build time on an average four-year project, is laid bare for all to see. The small margin of error is acute. Compounding the issue is the raft of increasingly stringent environmental legislation which requires certain components to be left out of paint, again making the painting process more difficult. When you throw into the mix the popular trend for metallic paint finishes, the task set in front of you is no longer merely arduous but near enough impossible.

All things worth having don’t come easy, and the best paint results are achieved by taking your time. Of course, on a superyacht build, there is never enough time. So, it’s a fine balance between moving fast without cutting corners. It also helps to have all hands on deck, so on a yacht the size of SAVANNAH (whose painted surface area is the equivalent of

eight basketball courts), that means 21 paint sprayers, 21 paint assistants, three managers and one paint mixer.

Again, nothing about a Feadship is off the shelf. When it comes to guaranteeing the perfect metallic paint job, Feadship leaves nothing to chance. Instead, the Haarlem-based shipyard has developed its own electrically-charged spray nozzle guns to ensure a perfect spread of metallic flakes in the same direction.

This is what gives the flawless finish depth of colour. On SAVANNAH it was a striking sea foam green. On 46.0m COMO a dazzling silver, while 46.0m KISS emerged in iridescent black.

It takes a trained eye and a steady arm to apply layer upon layer of primer, coating, clear paint, metallic paint – all with exactly the right thickness. There’s even a show coat to make any dents visible to the human eye, which are then repaired before finally, the top-coat. This is the special seawater-proof yacht varnish with the highest degree of shine. Because nothing eats away at surfaces better than salty seawater. If the paint is over-diluted it absorbs into the surface and scratches become visible. If the sanding and fairing isn’t up to standard, wear and tear will soon show.

To paint a superyacht like SAVANNAH takes vast experience, over 3,000 litres of paint, and a dedication to perfection like nothing else out there. And that is the Feadship way.

LIFESTYLE

TA K I NG T H E BI T E OU T OF N U T R I T ION When Dr Fred Wadsworth began his NHS medical training at St Thomas’ Hospital in London in the early ‘90s, the subject of nutrition was a slightly “comedy” section of the syllabus. But after ten years of professional practice, Dr Wadsworth and his colleague Dr Adam Carey identified a powerful link between nutrition, exercise and a raft of critical diseases. An innate interest in human performance drew the pair to elite sport, and what worked on the pitch is now doing wonders in the board room.

The use of nutritional and lifestyle interventions to improve human performance should seem fairly obvious by today’s standards.

Twenty years ago, however, the idea of organic food was whacky and obesity a reluctant part of getting old.

“Elite sport was where the motivation for excellence came from, but the only thing that had really jumped across to mainstream was psychology. So, we began applying these methods to a lifestyle ticket.”

“We recognised a totally different pallet of tools where you could address these critical illnesses through lifestyle,” explains Dr Wadsworth, whose ground-breaking techniques quickly piqued interest within elite sport.

In 2006, the duo launched CorPerformance, an initiative that applies their elite sport findings to individuals in corporate and high net worth environments around the world. His formulae have seen him support clients, such as Olympic rower James Cracknell, complete a 70-mile non-stop run through Death Valley in the Mojave Desert or trek across the Arctic. With psychology accounting for 50 per cent of the training, the heart of any client’s journey is coached behavioural change.

“A couple of athletes who were at the end of their professional careers came to us and went from ruination back into international teams,” he says. That garnered the attention of Sir Clive Woodward, OBE, then coach of the England national rugby union team, who adopted Fred and his practises into the heart of England’s 1997 Rugby World Cup training programme. Word got around and Fred and Adam became a dominant fixture in the field of sports nutrition.

“I think you could argue that we brought the high protein message into elite sport in the UK. If you go back to the great teams of the ‘70s, they were small individuals compared to a modern international rugby team, and that’s born out of the nutritional changes happening in that space.”

Dr Carey continued working with the England and Welsh RFUs, while Dr Wadsworth was siphoned off into premiership football and England cricket. He worked with Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea football players and toured India and Pakistan with Michael Vaughan’s 2005 Ashes winning team.

“I could talk to a bunch of 30 people and tell them exactly how to get it right, and in three months’ time maybe one person will have lost a ton of weight. But for the vast majority of people they will quickly go back to what they did before.”

To counter this default, Dr Wadsworth takes clients on a complex screening process to identify individual motivating factors. “We really do tell clients the real deal about where they are, find out where they want to be, and then instil what we call a ‘new normal’.”

Recently, the offering was digitised, meaning CorPerformance now provides an enterprise wide solution. And with the advent of Covid-19, never before has the health of Britain’s aging population been so under the spotlight. “The top executives in board rooms are usually more senior in their years, who have spent decades getting everything they want, but who now must think about getting everything that they need.”

F LY I NG ON FOI L S The America’s Cup may be the world’s oldest international sporting trophy, predating the modern Olympic Games, the FA Cup and golf’s Ryder Cup, but the 36th edition in March 2021 will be remarkably different from its predecessors for a bounty of reasons.

The unexpected arrival of Covid-19 has led to far-reaching ramifications felt around the world. For the America’s Cup INEOS TEAM UK it meant navigating tiresome lockdown restrictions at a critical point in their training schedule, and in September the need to observe a 14-day quarantine period upon entry into New Zealand. For Team Principal and Skipper Sir Ben Ainslie, the most decorated Olympic sailor in history, it was but another test of endurance that they took in their stride.

“Going through something challenging like lockdown together ultimately makes you a stronger team, so in some ways it has been a positive,” he says. “It was frustrating being able to see the competition get out on the water on Auckland Harbour whilst we were still in quarantine. So, I took my frustrations out on the turbo trainer we had set up in the hotel room, and you can clock up a fair few miles on that thing!”

It’s taken 90,000 design hours and 46,000 construction hours to build Britannia – INEOS’s AC75 22.8m foiling monohull – based on design parameters set by Team Emirates New Zealand, the defenders of the America’s Cup. Led by new Head of Design, Nick Holroyd (the man who first came up with the idea for foils

“ We treat pressure as a privilege.

If you want to compete at the highest level you need to be up for the fight.”

SIR BEN AINSLIE

as part of Team Emirates New Zealand’s 2013 San Francisco campaign) INEOS had a few different design concepts on the table for the eventual raceboat. They swerved the safe option and went with their “most extreme design”. It’s a decision that Sir Ben feels good about, but the demands from racing a seventonne monohull that lifts up on foils and flies at speeds of up to 50 knots are plentiful.

“It’s one thing sailing these boats by yourselves in a wide-open space, but quite another when on a tight racecourse with other teams,” says Sir Ben. “That’s going to be one hell of a challenge getting around the course first, fast and safely.”

Even without the advent of Covid the weight of expectation is heavy. British hopes are pinned on Britannia bringing the ‘Auld Mug’ home to the UK for the first time. Sir Ben believes they have the right team to pull it off this year, but does that make it harder to stay focused?

“We treat pressure as a privilege,” states the five-time Olympian, adding, “if you want to compete at the highest level you need to be up for the fight.”

THE EMERALD ISLES The Ionian Islands are the greenest of the Greek islands and home to some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean. This island chain is scattered like emeralds down Greece’s west coast. There is a strong Venetian influence found in the food, architecture, art and literature. Cruising distances are relatively short, and you can easily visit all the islands within a week or so.

K EFA L ON I A

PA XOS

Kefalonia is the largest of the seven Ionian Islands. Despite its popularity there are hidden areas where you are unlikely to meet a soul for days. You will be greeted by the steepest of cliffs and the bluest seas. Vast pine forests cloak the rugged limestone landscape where ten of the mountain peaks soar above 5,0 0 0f t. Nature lovers will discover beautiful landscapes and countless trails.

For archaeology enthusiasts, there are excavations of Mycenaean graves that shed light on a civilisation thousands of years old.

Diminutive Paxos is a peaceful island paradise. The pace of life is slow, with a Caribbean vibe. Take a shaded stroll through the many silver-green olive groves, dotted with cypresses. Gaios, possibly the prettiest port in Greece, is protected by a narrow inlet. For the adventurous, the fjord-like coastline is peppered with caves, grottoes and cliffs, while the Tripitos Arch and Ortholithos Rock are a must-see.

Fisc ardo is a former f ishing village transformed into a cosmopolitan resort, and now a magnet for super yacht s.

It retains its rural charm with rows of pastel houses and narrow alleyways to transport you back in time. Cruise south to Myrtos beach, a horse-shoe sand bar with azure waters backed by sheer cliffs.

For a spectacular sunset, head to the west coast.

A N T I PA XOS Paxos’ little sister, Antipaxos, covers just 5 sq km and is favoured for its pristine beaches; the soft, white sands of Vrika, or pebbly Voutoumi lapped by turquoise water s. From A gr apidia har b our, a network of tracks stretch across ‘terroir’ renow ne d for it s lo c all y-pro duce d red wine.

COR F U Corfu is an island of old world elegance with a fascinating history, rich traditions

and varied architecture. The cobbled s t re e t s of C o r f u Tow n ma ke fo r a lively UNESCO World Heritage capital.

The bourgeois boutiques, eateries and galleries give it a distinctly Parisian feel where Rue de Rivoli is echoed in the island’s Spianada Square and Liston Street. History buffs will want to explore the museums, Venetian fortresses and church of Agios Spyridon, protector of the island.

PA RGA Picture-perfect Parga, the gem of Epirus, is close to Corfu on the Greek mainland.

Nes tled in an amphitheatre-esque, kaleidoscopic bay that is dominated by a ruined Venetian castle, this colourful town is beloved by Greeks for its beaches and laid-back atmosphere.

L EF K A DA Lefkada became an ‘island’ when the Corinthians cut through the sandbanks that used to connect it to the mainland.

Proximity to the mainland gave rise to a rash of development on the eastern side,

but there are hidden gems, such as the towering peaks, natural waterfalls and monastic ruins. The tiny seaside village of Agios Nikitas is a superyacht secret, flanked by stunning beaches and only accessible by boat. At the southern tip, Porto Katsiki is a spectacular crescent of sand, backed by limestone cliffs. To the east is the Onassis dynasty’s verdant green private island, Skorpios.

endangered log gerhead tur tles and seals which, though elusive, can still be spotted. The most famous beach on the island is the iconic Navagio (shipwreck) beach; a secluded cove with silver sand and sapphire waters only accessed by boat.

M EGA N I SI Ironically, Meganisi is Greek for ‘big island’. Yet at 22 sq km, nothing could be further from the truth. Life ambles along much as it has for centuries. There are no bustling resorts, just three flowerfilled villages and a coastline dotted with gleaming, white beaches. Explore the plethora of marine caves, notably Papanikolis, a striking cavern 30m deep, which conceals a hidden sandy beach.

THE MARKET It’s been an interesting year navigating a pandemic, but the superyacht market remains solid in the face of adversity with numerous launches set to roll out in the coming years.

At present, Feadship has 13 yachts in build measuring between 42.5m / 499 GT and 118.0m / 4,999 GT. Across all shipyards there are 168 yachts in build over 50.0m (57 of which are Northern European pedigree). While the build quality and fleet heritage of Feadship is never in doubt, the shipyard’s clean sweep at this year’s World Superyacht Awards pays testimony to the value and trust Feadship owners place in the brand. Superyachts

77.3m PI, 58.0m NAJIBA and 93.0m LADY S each triumphed in their respective categories, with NA JIBA scooping Best Displacement Motoryacht Between 500GT and 999GT, LADY S winning Best Displacement Motoryacht Between 2,000GT and 4,999GT, and in addition to claiming Best Displacement Motoryacht Between 1,500GT and 1,999GT, PI also took home the ultimate accolade of Motoryacht of the Year.

In November 2019, Ross Carson landed the demanding role of charter broker at Cecil Wright & Partners, and then the pandemic struck. Charter sales around the world abruptly stopped as travel restrictions ramped up to unprecedented heights. Ross, a wellseasoned voyager, took on the challenge with relish.

Ross Carson’s entry into Cecil Wright came by way of a friendly introduction, but his passion for all things yachtie began long before. Hot, dreamy days spent holidaying in the south of France and Greece as a young boy triggered an appetite for being out on the water, and his love of yachting has endured ever since. He cut his broker’s teeth at a competing firm prior to moving to Cecil Wright, but his appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship came from his time as business development manager at bespoke tailoring outfit Huntsman on Savile Row. “I’ve been fortunate to have travelled ex tensively over the pas t six years conducting business in some of the l e a d i n g c i t i e s a r o u n d t h e g l o b e ,”

says Carson, who believes “creating unforgettable experiences for clients by delivering a service and yacht that exceed their expectations” provides him with the most job satisfaction. That, and being part of the Cecil Wright family.

Ross admits he’s still the “greenhorn” of the company, but his colleagues provide advice when he needs it and he remains optimistic in a Covid-19 era.

“The uncertainty around travel has made clients cautious before committing to bookings, but we are advising them to travel to a list of ‘safe haven’ destinations and continue to deliver a service that is beyond their expectations.”
