combining elegance and design with

the satisfaction of owning a truly

unique piece. Because, for over half

a century, every Sanlorenzo has been

custom-made for its owner, like a

tailored suit. Sanlorenzo yachts are

built to the very highest standards

because they are made by people who

constantly strive for the very best, right

down to the smallest detail.

The handcrafted tradition, passed

down from father to son, and the

complete customization of every boat,

ensure that no other yacht will ever

equal a Sanlorenzo.

THE GOOD LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

I was at a 70 th birthday party recently (not mine,

for God’s sake) where some earnest folks were

waxing poetic about age and sage and slowing

down and savoring not having to be competitive

anymore. Each time I awoke from a nod, I

wanted to jump to my feet, tell a raunchy joke

and castigate them for wanting to freewheel to

the end. Me, I’d rather race to the end, whenever

that comes, and I sincerely hope it’s not soon. I’m

sorry, but there’s too much to do and too much

fun to have to lumber about contemplating my

mortality.

It seems the older I get, the more I crave speed.

I’ve always been a sailor and I do like what displacement

speeds do for my blood pressure, but

there’s nothing like flying across a mirrored bay

at sunrise, gulping the gale and closing fast on

my destination. I’ve been on some senselessly

fast boats in my time and done some imprudent

things, but I’ve never for a moment regretted

those adventures.

In my early days as a marine journalist, I tested

a boat called a Hustler. Honestly, trying to stand

up in the cockpit holding a radar gun on a buoy

as the numbers on the readout bounced off 70

knots was scary and borderline violent, but it was

fun. I wrapped up that day feeling alive—and

really kind of happy to still be that way. I was also

happy I wasn’t sitting in a kayak with that thing

bearing down on me at highway speeds.

I ran a bass boat one time—not the classic, classy,

striper-hunting New England version with the

auxiliary tiller, rather, the classic speckle-skinned

kind the good old boys chase largemouth in on

rivers and lakes. First I fumbled about looking for

the throttle only to find it was a foot pedal. Then,

I quickly discovered the thing only ran on about

the aft six inches of bottom. It skittered around

like a snowboard on an icy Vermont slope. Being

of at least average intelligence, I concluded flying

along on a choppy spot on the ICW at 50 knots

in the thing wasn’t really a smart plan. It made me

think of the bubbas, with senses and skills heightened

by a few too many Bud Lights, doing their

thing on my local reservoir. No kayaking for me

when the fish are rising.

Then there was the time I drove an airboat

through some narrow “trails” in the Everglades

at speeds I must have blocked out. Suffice to say,

I was hauling ass. I remember asking the boat

wrangler what the dark things that looked like

logs were that we kept driving over. He told

me they were gators. At least we weren’t fileting

them with conventional props, although several

likely woke up the next morning with massive

reptilian migraines.

I’ve also had some more sedate speed runs,

like the time I circled Conanicut Island in

Narragansett Bay on a 132-foot Diaship/Heesen

called Mirage. With a trio of 3,500-horsepower

MTUs pumping 18,000 gallons of bay water a

second through the yacht’s jet drives, we bounced

off 40 knots at times. It was great fun moving

that fast in such a big boat. I vaguely recall the

Champagne literally blowing out of my glass as

we passed several sailboats whose occupants were

pointing at something in the sky.

In this issue, Alan Harper describes his experiences

going fast on the Mangusta 94 (“Passage

Aggressive”), the Pershing 82 (“The Ultimate

Driver’s Machine”) and the Baglietto MV13

(“Retro Rocket”). Judging by the performance

of these three boats, it seems the Italians haven’t

lost their lust for going fast. It’s also clear from

his reports that Harper has no time for life in

the slow lane.

There’s plenty to love about taking the slow boat

to wherever, hoping to get there whenever. No

offense if that’s you, but I’d really rather be flying

by you to leeward with the wind peeling back my

hair like a retriever with his head out the moon

roof on the expressway. While you’re sipping

chardonnay and savoring your shrimp cocktail,

I’ll be racing toward the end, savoring every second

I have left. Apologies for the wake.

Dear Kenny:

I would really enjoy seeing more articles

on yacht design in your magazine, especially

stories showcasing the builders, designers and

engineers behind the scenes who make these

incredible yachts. More in-depth coverage of

the planning and construction process would

be very interesting. If more people could be

exposed to what it takes to design boats, it

might help some who are considering a career

in this field.

—Tim Feaster, Portsmouth, NH

ED.: Funny you should mention design. In this

issue we have a piece (“The American Way”)

by our Editor-at-Large Europe, Justin Ratcliffe,

that explores, with some of the top names in

the field, the question of whether there is such

a thing as an American yacht design idiom. The

answer? Have a read.

Dear Editors:

Love the magazine. I always look forward to its

arrival. A while ago, I noticed that you stopped

including deck plans in the boat articles. Looks

like they are back now. Please keep them in the

magazine. I enjoy seeing the layouts of these

vessels. Cheers.

—M. Wilhelm, Chicago, IL

To whom it may concern:

I prefer to refer to my largest boat (80 feet) as

a boat. To me, the only difference between a

boat and a yacht is the size of its owner’s ego.

—Web poll respondent

ED.: In my view, a yacht is any boat used

for pleasure, my friend. My smallest yacht is

just over 8 feet long and it gives me endless

pleasure.

Lürssen Delivers Azzam—World’s Largest Yacht

After a record build pace of less than three years from steel-cutting, German builder Lürssen announced the highly anticipated delivery of Azzam, the

world’s largest yacht to date. With her length of 590 feet (180 meters) and top speed of over 30 knots, Azzam boasts an innovative design by Mario

Pedol of Nauta Yachts. The original concept was developed by Eng. Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi, while interior designer Christophe Leoni contributed a

sophisticated and luxurious interior.

A Submersible Superyacht?

For more than a century, naval architects have demonstrated the viability of sustaining human life beneath the ocean surface. Ex-submarine navigator/

futurist Harley O’Neill of SuperyachtME and Dutch designer/conceptualist Edwin van der Mark have taken the notion of life underwater to new

heights—or depths, as it were—with an inventive 335-foot (102-meter) superyacht submarine concept appropriately dubbed Nemo. Should it ever

see light of day, the design calls for some radical innovations such as double waterlines and submersion capabilities, magnetic motors, elimination

of reduction gears, a collapsible and retractable infrastructure, energy-absorbing and self-fixing coatings, environmentally conscious semiconductor

paneling, interchangeable battery cascades on induction pads and electrical generation dynamometers throughout the vessel’s moving parts. “With a

top speed of 25 knots on the surface and 7 knots submerged, this new breed of superyacht pushes the boundaries of the submarine concept with

two operating depths,” says O’Neill. “Imagine a sunset dinner above water, then relaxing with a good book just under the surface, all in the same salon.”

Maxi Dolphin Splashes FC3 100

Designed by French naval architects Finot-Conq and derived from their

experience in offshore racing boats, the 100-foot (30-meter) FC3 is Maxi

Dolphin’s latest splash in the luxury sailing market. The full-carbon build was

designed for an owner who, after an extensive search, contracted the Italian

company to build a light, stylish and comfortable sailing vessel. The design boasts

a 151-foot (46-meter) mast and 7,427 square feet (690 square meters) of sail

area. A 15-ton lifting keel reduces draft from 18 feet to 9 feet to permit shallowwater

passage. Her roomy interior offers an attitude of simplicity. The décor

and furnishings by Pierre Frutschi Architecture and Design are modern and

minimalist, with white matte upholstery and ceilings contrasting with glossy black

carbon fiber structural elements.

Mares Releases New 45

Flybridge Catamaran

Catamarans are known for speed and

smooth, light lift. For its new 45 Flybridge,

Mares created asymmetrical hulls, tapering

from bow to stern. The width differential

forces air under the hulls that compresses

with speed, providing less hydrodynamic

drag, quicker planing, fuel efficiency and

enhanced maneuverability. Zeus pod drives

allowed Mares to design additional space

forward including a full-beam master cabin

with walkaround berth, en suite head and

shower, and a starboard kids/guest cabin.

A small galley adjoins the salon, opening

to the aft deck. Twin 480-horsepower

Cummins QSB engines push her to 30

knots, with a 550-horsepower option to

achieve 35 knots.

CRN Showcases Conero and

Super Conero Projects

Recently celebrating its 50 th anniversary, the Ferretti Group’s superyacht builder

CRN has launched a preview of some of its newest models. With names meant

to evoke the shipyard’s tradition, the new yachts are positioned as “entry level”

models that possess amenities and characteristics of design usually only available

on larger superyachts, says CRN Chairman and CEO Lamberto Tacoli. The

40-meter (131-foot) project’s name comes from CRN’s Conero line of the

1970s. The new Conero is a displacement yacht made of steel and aluminum.

Developed by CRN Engineering and designed by Studio Zuccon International

Project, the Conero includes features commonly found on CRN superyachts:

transatlantic range, RINA and MCA certifications, large internal volumes and a

balcony off the owner’s suite. The 44-meter (144-foot) Super Conero offers

a balcony that can be enjoyed while under way, a beach club and a floodable

tender bay—a concept employed on the 197-foot (60-meter) J’ade.

Couach Hornet 1300 Tender

Teams from the Chantier Naval Couach shipyard and designer Franck

Reynaud have transformed the French builder’s fast military boat, the

Plascoa FIC (Fast Interceptor Craft), into an aggressive, high-tech pleasure

boat with an attitude. In a marriage of Couach’s trademark deep-V hull,

Rolla propeller system and Arneson drive shaft, the 44-foot (13-meter)

Hornet makes a unique tender option with high-speed seaworthiness.

Twin 800-horsepower MAN R6 diesels add the necessary muscle to

break 50 knots. Aesthetically, her design team took the military concept

all the way down to hull’s paint finish, which is an aggressive blue-gray

camouflage motif.

New Riva Flagship Nears Completion

Construction is on schedule at Italy’s CRN shipyard for Riva’s new

flagship: the 122-foot (37-meter) Mythos model. She is the builder’s

largest yacht to date and its first built completely of light aluminum

alloy. Riva’s diversified range spans 12 models between 27 and 122 feet,

including open, coupe and flybridge yachts. The Mythos model is the

culmination of a longstanding partnership between two historic Ferretti

Group brands: Riva, which in 2012 celebrated its 170 th anniversary, and

CRN, the group’s superyacht shipyard. Riva’s Mauro Micheli leads the

new yacht’s design process in coordination with Ferretti’s Advanced

Yacht Technology center and Centro Stile Ferrettigroup. Her planing

hull is projected to reach a top speed of 27.5 knots with twin MTU

12V4000s. Delivery is expected in April.

Italy’s Rio Yachts Enters the American Market

Italian boatbuilder Rio Yachts has crossed the Atlantic for the first time to

unleash its latest model upon the Miami boat show masses. Blending Italian

design with American engineering, the Rio 56 GT comes with electrical

systems pre-converted for the American market and a wide-open floor

plan. Rio Yachts began building boats in northern Italy in 1961 with a 27-foot

mahogany cruiser. Over the years, the builder acquired a reputation for its

hand-crafted, fuel-efficient boats. Last year, the company went global under

the direction of President and CEO Marc-Udo Broich (former president and

CEO of Aicon Yachts) and International Sales Director Massimo Jannone, with

the intention of bringing Rio’s brand of craftsmanship and customization to

America as a production boat.

A Wet and Wild 2013 Antigua Charter Yacht Show

A heavy dose of relentless tropical rain couldn’t dampen the festive spirit of the 52 nd

annual Antigua Charter Yacht Show in December. Antigua is the premier winter charter

trade show and is always a winner. Close to 100 motoryachts and sailing vessels were

on display at three locations: Nelson’s Dockyard, Antigua Yacht Club Marina and Resort,

and Falmouth Harbour Marina. The yachts were presented to brokers charter-ready with

flower arrangements, refreshing drinks, enticing displays of watersports toys, clever setups

in children’s cabins and prominent displays of 3D movies on high-definition screens with

Italy’s Baglietto taps the spirit of its military

BY Alan Harper

iIT WAS BLOWING AND HAD BEEN FOR SOME TIME—

a stiff southwesterly had the flags snapping to attention and sailboat

halyards in the crowded harbor clanging like cacophonous

metronomes. It was typical winter weather, but it was still only

September. I’ve had sea trials cancelled in better conditions, and

on boats far bigger than the Baglietto MV13. As I watched, the

boat was being made ready for sea by a shipyard crew encased from

head to foot in heavy foul weather gear. Just for me.

I felt a pang of guilt, but it soon passed. This was going to be fun.

I wasn’t expecting to see the MV13 at the show, and I’m not

sure anyone else was either. The previous year, I had interviewed

Beniamino Gavio, the new owner of Baglietto, and

he’d mentioned a still-secret boutique project—a limited edition

of small, simple craft designed to attract attention and

celebrate the venerable shipyard’s rich naval heritage. While

Boat Company motor torpedo boats, the Italians hold the name of

Baglietto in the highest esteem. Long before the superyacht era, its

fast boats fought with panache and distinction in two world wars and

became the stuff of legend.

So I’d told Gavio I thought it was a splendid idea, and I thought no

more about it. Knowing now what he was thinking then, I might have

pressed a bit further for details.

You can tell the MV13 was built by a superyacht yard. The finish—

tactile matte-gray paint, glowing teak and flawless welding—gets

better the closer you look. This boat is a beautiful object. An Italian

design magazine dubbed it gioiello di alluminio, an aluminum

jewel. But in the best traditions of its naval predecessors, it is also

entirely functional. Fully half the hull’s length is taken up with the

machinery space—engines and tanks—accessed through big stern

hatches. The 800-horsepower MANs drive aft on straight propeller

shafts angled at 11.5 degrees. Accommodations consist of a double

bed, a small galley and a large head. For a $1.75 million powerboat,

it’s resolutely no-frills.

That, of course, is only half the story. The MV13 is also a high-concept

project from Baglietto’s regular man of the last 20 years, Francesco

Paszkowski. Based in the hills outside Florence, the Milanese designer

has actually been sketching this idea for six years. Only when Gavio

bought the yard and commissioned the build could the drawings

become reality. The interior of the MV13 looks, at first glance, authentically

1940s. Then you notice that the hull frames and deck beams are

clad in stitched leather, and the tongue-and-groove planks lining the

hull sides are lusciously lacquered. Details like leather locker handles and

tailored galley stowage add luxury, while the folding table and worktop,

and the deep hanging locker, are reassuringly practical. Sensible space

planning ensures that whatever else the MV13 might be, it is a comfortable

two-person dayboat. Headroom is a generous 6 feet 3 inches, and at

6 feet 6 inches long by nearly 7 feet at its widest, the bed is huge.

Once clear of the Old Port of Marseilles breakwater, we threaded our

way through the flotilla of anchored yachts pitching at their chains and

took the first real wave on the starboard bow. It was a short, but heavy

punch that immediately raised a solid sheet of spray, which hung in the

air and then descended with pitiless inevitability. We were drenched.

It was good to get it out of the way. The seas were 4 to 5 feet, short

and steep. Spray blew overhead and seawater streamed across the boat’s

long, pugnacious snout as we battled at 30-plus knots. The ride was surefooted

and the deep-V ironed out the seas like a thoroughbred offshore

racer. There was plenty in reserve, but it was far too rough to open the

throttles wide. Apart from one hint of chine riding while running fast

downwind—quickly solved by throttling back—the hull was completely

uncowed by the conditions, and perfectly content to take the fight to

the elements.

I knew it was going to be fun, but the ride was fantastic. It was a battle,

and we were winning.

FAVORITE SCIENCE FICTION WRITER IS ROBERT

Sheckley. He was always a bit of a cult figure, but his stories are wise,

witty, intriguing, surreal and often hilarious. One of my favorite

Sheckley stories concerns a young man in Manhattan who is being

stalked by an invisible thrang. His psychic protector, a validusian

derg, just has time to shout a warning before it succumbs to the jaws

of the intruder: “Don’t lesnerize!” Of course, the young man has no

idea what “lesnerize” means, just that to do so will be fatal.

I was reminded of that tale aboard the Pershing 82. I sat down in

the yacht’s center helm seat. I noted the excellent visibility and took

in the layout of the controls: paired nav screens on either side of

the closed-circuit monitor, engine screens down by the wheel, and

trim controls and their attendant display right there, front and center.

With those priorities in evidence, clearly I was aboard a highperformance

machine.

Then there are the throttles. They’re not mounted on the console,

but right by the seat, under your right hand. The wheel occupies an

inconvenient position—effectively out of reach unless you’re standing.

But forget about that, because there on the left, at your fingertips, is

the joystick. It’s only about 4 inches long.

Let’s be clear: This is 60 tons of high-energy missile, with 4,870

horsepower packed into the stern, hooked up to ZF SeaRex surface

drives. In a straight line, this oceangoing ICBM is capable of more

than 46 knots. To make it turn corners, you waggle the little stick. Just

make sure you don’t lesnerize as you do so.

A replacement for the Pershing 80, the new 82 offers various

improvements over its predecessor, including an excellent sundeck

where an optional upper helm station folds away when not in use.

You access the deck from a smart set of carbon fiber steps that drop

down out of the deckhead.

With the galley down in the crew area and low-level furnishings

throughout the main deck, the salon is surrounded on all sides by

glass. When the sunroof opens up and the cockpit doors slide down

and away, the entire main deck becomes one huge living room, with

an extending glass-and-steel dining table forward, a silver-lacquered

cockpit table aft, and between them an enormous and luxuriously

upholstered leather sofa.

Down below, a four-cabin, three-head layout is standard, but you

can have just three cabins if you prefer, with a cozy TV lounge on the

starboard side. In either case, the master suite is amidships, spacious

and beautifully designed.

Pale teak joinery and contrasting, dark-stained oak floors give the 82

a modern but quietly restful interior, which is something of a Pershing

hallmark. The quality of the fit-out is exemplary. The engineering in

the machinery space is equally impressive. Although cramped by the

intrusion of the tender garage, there is good low-level access between

the engines and full standing headroom in front.

Like most of her stablemates, the Pershing 82 proved herself to be

a phenomenal driver’s machine. We clocked her on a two-way run

at 46.5 knots, and acceleration was extraordinary. Such is the angle

of heel that the best way to see where you’re going in a hard turn is

through the sunroof. The electronic throttles were beautifully light

and translated torque into instant, effortless motion, while in a light

chop over a long swell, the hull felt reassuringly solid—as you might

expect from balsa-cored e-glass laminates up to 1½ inches thick.

And as for that little 4-inch toggle switch under your left hand: It

doesn’t look like it could control a windscreen wiper, but I’m here

to tell you that it’s the best way to control the Pershing 82, at any

speed. The joystick is computer controlled. Just as raceboats have

rev limiters to stop the gearboxes from exploding, the Pershing has

a helm-angle limiter to prevent any heavy-handedness from having

unintended consequences. With that and the automatic trim system

engaged, driving this massive, muscular, deep-V missile is actually

pretty straightforward.

Limiter or no, the 82 still handles like an F-16. It’s a Pershing, after

all. So try to make sure you don’t lesnerize. The young man in the story

fretted about what it meant, but found out eventually.

“I’ve caught up on some back sleep and nothing happened, so that’s

not lesnerizing,” he says to himself. “I went out and bought food, paid

for it, cooked it, ate it. That wasn’t lesnerizing. I wrote this report. That

wasn’t lesnerizing. I’ll come out of this yet. I’m going to catch a nap. I

think I have a cold coming on. Now I have to sneez—”

BY Justin Ratcliffe

IT IS PROBABLY SAFE TO ASSUME THAT MANY READ-

ERS of this magazine are able to distinguish at first glance an

American production yacht from a European one, not to mention

the stylistic distinctions between German, Dutch and Italian

designs. But these differences become more difficult to spot when

we move into full-custom territory. A discussion of American versus

European yacht design naturally invites any number of subjective

and sweeping generalizations. With this proviso in mind,

however, it would seem there are certain design motifs that point

to the nationality and cultural background of the designer, the

owner or the builder—and sometimes all three.

Setzer Yacht Architects, a U.S.-based design studio with offices in

Antigua, recently released sketches of a series it calls New American

Motoryachts. The concepts put a new spin on designs that studio principal

Ward Setzer views as distinctly American.

“The goal for the series is to freshly redefine several longstanding

yacht categories that have strong American roots, but are clearly

looking tired,” says Setzer. He boldly describes the series as “a vision

for a new era of American custom yacht design.”

Since founding his eponymous studio 23 years ago, Setzer has

collaborated with leading American brands Trinity (with at least a

dozen of his designs on the water), Christensen, Delta, Broward,

Marshall, the explorer

Intermarine, Northern Marine, Lyman Morse, Hinckley and others.

He and his co-workers conceived 18 new exterior designs, ranging in

size from 105 to 230 feet (32 to 70 meters), during a sabbatical in

Antigua after establishing a new office in English Harbour last year.

“There is certainly a North American aesthetic,” Setzer asserts. “It is

something learned the hard way with years of drawing by hand, with

splines, the sheerlines of both power and sailing vessels. It is acquired

by the study of the classic lines of Herreshoff or J.B. Hargrave, who I

worked for as a young naval architect. It is found in the styling of classic

Burgers from the early 1900s onward, the classic fantails of Henry

Morgan’s vessels belonging to the New York and Palm Beach set, or the

rum runners from the Prohibition era.” He also cites the influence of

the American automotive industry, which is itself shaped by fashion and

innovation. “Even naval and commercial vessel design and construction

has played a role in shaping the look and feel of yachts,” he says.

Gregory C. Marshall, the Canadian naval architect based in Victoria,

British Columbia, believes the American aesthetic has traditionally

been defined by its innate conservatism. Much as Henry Ford sold

cars in any color as long as it was black, most U.S. shipyards have

tended to build boats in any color as long as it is white. But the issues

are more than just skin deep. Marshall proposes that most American

owners are driven primarily by function rather than form, with practical

matters such as berthing facilities influencing the design of their

yachts.

“Outside of Florida, there is generally a lack of marinas suitable for

large yachts,” he says. “This means you see a lot of floating docks

requiring low-level, step-off access from the boat. On the other hand,

we have a lot of sheltered bays where we can anchor, so tenders need

to be launched and retrieved quickly and easily. Whereas European

owners like to hide tenders from view in garages for aesthetic reasons,

American owners often prefer to keep their tenders on deck and

launch them using cranes or davits.”

This focus on function over form carries through to the interior

with traditional layouts that tend to favor simple, square spaces and

fitted—as opposed to freestanding—furniture. There have been occasional

attempts to remedy what might be seen as an uninspired and

even pigeonholed approach to interior design. When Trinity launched

the 196-foot (59.7-meter) Bacarella in 2009, for example, it was touted

as proof that American yards could build European-style yachts, in part

because London-based Bannenberg & Rowell came up with the interior

design, which was manufactured and fitted out by Metrica in Germany.

“We’d always been accused of not being able to execute a northern

European-type boat,” said John Dane III, president and CEO of Trinity

Yachts, when Bacarella made her debut in Fort Lauderdale. “So with the

original owner, we finally found an American who was prepared to pay

the up-charge for a London designer and a European interior supplier.”

It is somewhat ironic that Dickie Bannenberg himself described the

yacht as having “a Californian, natural, low-key vibe.” What he was

implying was that the interior design, although smart and chic, was

still eminently livable: “You can come in wearing your swimmies and

feel at home, rather than perching nervously on the edge of your seat.”

This observation had a direct impact on the 112-foot (34.1-meter)

VvS1, designed by Marshall and launched by McMullen & Wing in

2007 for Kiwi owner Michael Hill. In addition to the faceted planes

and vaguely military lines of the exterior styling—a look more often

associated with European designs—Marshall revisited the interior layout

at the owner’s request.

“He couldn’t understand why he had to come out of the water and

walk dripping wet through the main salon, the most formal space

on the boat, if he wanted to prepare a sandwich in the galley,” says

Marshall. “This governed the position of the aft galley and the rest of

the interior layout. The salon is in the middle of the yacht for use at the

end of the day, while the galley and aft deck serve as a daytime space.”

Compared with other nationalities, Americans (and Australians and

New Zealanders) shy away from the kind of service mentality that

leads to the strict separation between crew and guest circulation. This

is likely a consequence of a more relaxed and casual lifestyle, which

is reflected in a preference for the country-style kitchens they often

have at home. An extreme example of this is Tamsen, the 171-foot

(52.1-meter) ketch launched by Perini Navi in 2007 for the Firestone

family of California. The yacht has a huge galley space on the forward

main deck where the extended family—children, grandchildren,

aunts, uncles and cousins—can all pile into at mealtimes. “Everybody

cooks and cleans,” says owner Steve Firestone. “There are a lot of kids

and wet bathing suits. The design reflects that.”

Marshall refined a similar concept aboard the hugely influential

Big Fish, the 147-foot (44.8-meter) expedition yacht launched by

McMullen & Wing in 2010 for Englishman Richard Beattie. This

time, the layout included a breakfast corner in the galley, so owner

and guests could interact with the chef without getting in his way.

But when the yacht was being chartered, especially with South

American or Asian clients on board, the area could be closed off to

function as a straightforward workstation.

Undoubtedly, there is a growing band of North American designers

whose work has crossed the Atlantic divide and enjoys a truly

international following. At the vanguard of this movement is Tripp

Design of Norwalk, Connecticut, whose sailing superyachts built

by the likes of Wally, Vitters, Baltic and most recently Arzanà Navi

represent the cutting edge of sailing superyacht design. Such is the

extent of Bill Tripp’s European commitments that he has opened

an office in Amsterdam, where he spends at least half of his time.

The modern big-boat culture does not always sit well with the more

puritanical yachting mentality across the Atlantic, so it is surprising

that it has taken a North American naval architect to help define

some of today’s most avant-garde sailing yachts. “I find I can drink

the Kool-Aid,” is Tripp’s laconic reaction.

Marshall’s 180-foot (54.8-meter) Project 6183, with its radical use

of glass and asymmetric windows, has preliminary design contracts

from excited European as well as American and Canadian clients.

Following a positive reception of his New American Motoryachts

series at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Setzer reports

that he is in discussion with six major builders, only three of which

are in the United States.

“I cannot speak for other American design studios, but I can say ours

is simply curious about the future and grounded in the past,” Setzer

says. “The key is they have to be buildable and not just sculptures

on the water that do not function well in bluewater conditions. Any

design house like ours has unknowingly shaped a look and feel based

on the realities of actual construction limitations. These realities have

combined to shape our American roots.”

A picture is worth a

thousand words…

a Nordhavn is worth

millions of miles.

With millions and millions of miles logged, Nordhavns not only go the

distance, they have achieved more circumnavigations and ocean

crossings than all our competitors’ models combined. From our

smallest ship to our newest and biggest Nordhavn 120-foot super yacht,

each design has proven to safely and comfortably deliver its owners to the

furthest corners of the planet.

All those miles require a lot of time spent at sea. So we’ve made

Nordhavns as luxurious and comfortable inside as they are

highly-considered layouts and a smooth steady ride make your Nordhavn feel

like home no matter where you happen to be.

Visit nordhavn.com to learn more about the great distances Nordhavns have

covered. (And for pictures of Nordhavns, visit our online store to order the 2014

Delta Marine’s magnum opus,

the 216-foot Invictus, sets sail

ABOVE: The main-level aft deck offers a panoramic view astern from an

intimate arrangement of lounge seating.

IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT YEARS FROM NOW, WHEN ART

historians and analysts of artistic invention offer their pronouncements

on the eternal parade of design trends up until their time in the

future present, they’ll be less likely to dwell on the transitory caprice

of glitzy swoops and embellishments, and more likely to acknowledge

the longer-lived achievements that owe their relative permanence to

more substantive attributes. These, in turn, may well be universally

grounded in earlier (read: proven) influences, physical imperatives

and the human scale, and most likely will themselves prove to serve as

worthy precedents to trends that follow.

And whenever these same historians and analysts look to the evolution

of nautical design, they inevitably must recognize Invictus,

Delta Marine’s newest entry in its portfolio of custom motoryachts.

A large vessel by any measure, the 216-foot by 43-foot Invictus offers

a full-displacement hull form with a substantial 12-foot 8-inch draft

to maximize interior volume. The resulting arrangement accommodates,

in addition to the owner couple, 12 guests in six double

staterooms and a crew of 22. Notwithstanding her overall conservative

look, Invictus presents an appropriately imposing demeanor, the

result of an emphasis on scale and proportion commensurate with

her superyacht-caliber dimensions and the enhancement of countless

functional details born of meticulous selection and arrangement of

visual elements. Central to the yacht’s design brief is the comfortable

accommodation of a variety of guest complements, from large social

groups to more intimate gatherings, and of itineraries ranging from a

half-day dinner cruise or dockside reception to transoceanic passages

spanning weeks or even months. Accordingly, the design team has

taken full advantage of length, breadth and depth to accommodate

activities from active watersports and al fresco relaxation to indoor

entertaining and socializing.

First and foremost, Invictus is a serious, globe-girdling vessel whose

ice-class steel hull and 7,000-nautical-mile range leave virtually no

destination beyond her reach. But her style is every bit as impressive

as her substance. As a developer and owner of high-end commercial

and retail properties, the yacht’s owner has made a career of creating

attractive, inviting and comfortable environments for his discerning

public, and Invictus represents a natural extension of those same attributes

as they apply to his private life. In order to create an appropriate

seagoing equivalent for his new yacht, he naturally enlisted the talents

of Diane Johnson, a southern California-based interior designer and

author of multiple residential and business-related projects for this

selfsame client.

“The owner,” says Johnson, “is a very visual person with a fine eye

for detail. His priorities for Invictus are all about family and friends,

about creating environments that nurture the senses without overwhelming

them.”

With beauty and human comfort as cornerstones of her design brief,

58 | MARCH 2014

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT:

Furnishings in the main-deck

salon keynote a residential

theme that extends throughout

the yacht; A curved expanse

of glass frames a dining room

that seems to spill onto the

outside deck just aft; The central

staircase combines wood, metal

and leather finishes to visually

connect interior spaces.

Johnson set about fashioning a disciplined overall theme grounded in

classical styles, but offering a distinct personality in each living space,

and just for fun, here and there, an engaging surprise or two.

With the aim of delivering a comfortable residential feel throughout

the yacht, the owner specified few built-in furnishings, instead

favoring a selection of sofas, chairs and tables, secured in place in

people-friendly arrangements. Other elements of visual continuity

include a curving central staircase whose metal, wood and leather finishes

carry through each interior level, and a muted, yet rich palette

of fabrics, stone and joinery. Within that context, each living space

offers a distinct personality, notably in the variety of cabinetry (much

of it from Delta’s own carpentry shop) and stone design (executed

by Seattle’s Jeff Homchick) inspired by Johnson’s research in Tuscany,

and her discovery of a rare marble species used in 12 th - to 15 th -century

Florence. Among the more intriguing surprises are the judicious

placement of Lalique crystal pieces in wall sconces, powder room

fixtures and a handsome chandelier suspended over the 22-place table

in the main dining room aft on the owner’s deck. And even the most

casual observer could be forgiven for half expecting, upon entering

the dramatically Art Deco-themed bridge deck skylounge bar, to run

smack into a tuxedo-clad Frank Sinatra or any of his Rat Pack cronies.

It’s an almost inescapable image, and that same observer would have

to wonder if, just maybe, it was planned that way, all part of the fun.

Actively engaged in the project, Invictus’ owner made frequent trips

to Delta Marine’s Seattle yard during the build, bringing a perspective

that meshed agreeably with that of the builder’s design team.

“His own personal sense of aesthetic,” says the project’s senior

designer, Christian Oliver, “made him sensitive to all aspects of the

design, exterior and interior. In particular, he was very aware of the

yacht’s size in relation to the human scale.”

Nowhere is that relationship more evident than in the main-deck

common areas, where exceptionally tall curved-glass sliding doors


offer passage between the aft exterior lounge area and a salon whose

8-foot 4-inch overhead height and nearly floor-to-ceiling view windows

on either side—a feature repeated throughout the yacht’s living

areas—further enhance the sense of space within.

The private owner’s suite commands the forward portion of its own

deck one flight above the main level and includes an entry corridor

that leads forward from the main stairway past a starboard-side office

and between his-and-hers baths, opening onto a bedroom and sitting

area encircled by a curved expanse of glass offering a 180-degree view

ahead and to either side. Just forward is a broad private lanai partially

sheltered by the coachroof overhang. Guest accommodations include

six en suite staterooms arrayed along a grand hallway leading forward

on the main deck. A vestibule at the lower terminus of the central

stairway opens to two additional double suites, each with a pull-down

Pullman berth, designed to serve as either staff quarters or supplemental

guest space.

Overall exterior breadth and height are immediately apparent to a

visitor boarding at the stern, by way of an expansive beach/cabana area,

reaching aft beyond the nominal swim grid from a teak-surfaced party

platform located below the aft main deck. The extension is formed

by deploying an enormous transom door that swings down to augment

the lounge area and, when departing a mooring or berth, hinges

upward to merge with the gently contoured curve of the transom,

while at the same time offering an extra measure of security against

unauthorized access. This deck, to the surprise of no one, has earned

immediate favor among owner and guests alike as a venue for sunning,

socializing or access to tenders and water toys. From this level, a single

enclosed stairway on the port side leads to a covered exterior lounge

area on the main deck one flight above, where an arrangement of fixed

and occasional seating is oriented toward the view astern.

The division of interior spaces offers a balance of guest and service

areas to allow efficient, unobtrusive service and vessel operations,

essential to a salutary onboard experience for passengers and crew

alike. The main, owner and bridge decks all feature a centrally located

pantry allowing convenient refreshment service in all living spaces.

Separate crew access to and from all levels keeps traffic in common

areas to a minimum. Similarly, a stairway from the lower-deck crew

area leads up to a service door forward on the main deck to facilitate

stateroom make-up. Located on the lower deck, the galley features a

full complement of commercial-grade appliances and fixtures worthy

of a master chef. Well aft on this level, adjacent to the cabana beach

area, is a tender stowage space equipped with hullside doors and dual

gantries for deploying a 28-foot (8.5-meter) Comitti sport runabout,

a 27-foot (8.2-meter) Novurania, personal watercraft and other requisite

watercraft. For après-sport relaxation, Invictus also offers, on the

main deck, a 14-seat cinema showing first-run films in addition to

old favorites, and adjacent to the skylounge bar a well-equipped gym

promises an invigorating workout for those so inclined.

Since her late-summer 2013 launch, Invictus has played host to a

nearly nonstop series of cruises and dockside events, from Desolation

Sound in the fabled Canadian Inland Passage and port calls along the

North and Central American Pacific coasts, to a growing litany of

Gulf and Caribbean destinations. Given this yacht’s range and global

capabilities, no one should rule out a schedule of voyages to more

distant venues as well. In any case, her arrangement, fit-out and finish

is a sure bet to make anyone’s time aboard worthwhile.

MIAMI

BOAT SHOW WEEK IN MIAMI ENCOMPASSES

MULTIPLE VENUES, BUT THE PLACE TO BE IS AT

THE YACHT & BROKERAGE SHOW.


PREPARE FOR AN ENDLESS PARADE OF EYE

candy on Miami’s streets and waterways alike as boat

show mania once again descends on South Florida’s

favorite city. With concurrent events running this

year from February 13-17, there will be boats of all

sizes and styles on display at the various show venues.

But the place to see the biggest, most impressive

launches will be at the Yacht & Brokerage Show.

As in years past, the Yacht & Brokerage Show

will turn the Indian Creek Waterway along Collins

Avenue into a massive, in-water display of more than

500 new and brokerage boats. This year, the big-boat

concourse is expanding to an additional venue at

Miami Beach Marina next to Government Cut. The

marina’s capacity for yachts up to 250 feet allows

access to the show for even larger superyachts than in

years past. As with the Collins Avenue venue, admission

at Miami Beach Marina will be free.

NEW YORK ISN’T THE ONLY CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS. FROM COLORFUL CHIC

BISTROS AND BODEGAS TO BRIGHT LIGHTS AND BOTTLE SERVICE, MIAMI HAS

PLENTY OF DIVERSIONS FOR VISITORS AFTER THE SHOW GATES CLOSE. WE ASKED

A FEW INDUSTRY LOCALS WHERE THEY GO TO PLAY AFTER THE HORNS BLOW.

“Studio is a neat little karaoke bar under the

Shelborne Hotel on Collins Avenue. It’s not

your typical South Beach stop—it’s a dive—but

definitely a fun way to end the evening.”

—Sara Ingersoll, Marshall Islands Registry/IRI

“Rare Steakhouse is where it’s at. Best steak I

ever had, and the char was to perfection.”

—Alan Murphy, Pioneer Linens

XAVIER MARAÑÓN

“Tapas y Tintos on Española Way. The Latin

charm of Española Way takes you to another

world. The food at Tapas y Tintos is authentic

Spanish tapas complete with sangria by the

pitcher. I believe nightly after 10 p.m. they put

on a show with Spanish guitar and flamenco

dancers.”

—Rob Carron, Willis Marine

“My perfect SoBe evening starts at Tap Tap

for authentic Haitian cuisine, like coconut and

shrimp legim with mojitos, followed by drinks at

Tantra to heighten the senses, then a VIP table

at Club LIV in the Fountainbleu to dance and

be seen.”

—Danielle Butler, Hill Betts & Nash

“As a misplaced southerner, there’s only one

option: Yardbird, on Lenox Avenue, brings

The South to South Beach. Chicken n’ waffles,

shrimp n’ grits... right in the heart of Miami

Beach. Wash it down with three fingers of

bourbon and you’re right back home.”

—Andrew Parkinson, Yachts International

“I love taking clients out on a small boat for an

ICW cruise during Miami shows. A good bottle

of wine, the quiet of the water, the city lights. For

some, it’s probably not as exciting as being seen

at the newest Miami Beach hotspot, but for me

it’s perfect. We really have one of the world’s

greatest cruising grounds; why not show it off?”

—Bob Denison, Denison Yacht Sales

“Juvia. It’s a chic French/Japanese/Peruvian fusion

restaurant on Lincoln Road. A private elevator

takes you to a penthouse oceanview dining

room, the DJ sets a groovy mood, the food is

delicious and the ambiance is straight sexy!”

—Summer Osterman, Burgess Yachts

“The Design District is a trendy place to

explore Miami’s eclectic cultural scene.

Abundant art galleries, distinctive architecture

and chic fashion make visiting this historic

neighborhood a truly unique experience.

Harry’s Pizzeria is a great spot. The chef

brews his own beers. Reasonably priced,

relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding

after the boat show.”

YI: What’s the state of the superyacht market as we head into

the Miami show?

“The market is firming up. Owners know that demand is

surpassing quality inventory, so those great deals where

clients were able to negotiate millions off an asking price

are gone. The ‘economy’ end of the superyacht market is

seeing a lot of movement, with the $8 million to $12 million

sector especially hot right now.” —Alex Clarke, director

of Denison Superyacht Division

“From a builder’s perspective, the market is positive; the

best it’s looked since the recession began. Demand has

returned, especially for larger and more complex yachts.

The reputable yards all have full order books. Clients continue

to push hard on prices, but are typically staying with

the yards that have proven to deliver quality.” —Timothy

Hamilton, director of Feadship America

YI: How is the buying climate for the American consumer

around this year’s Miami show?

“All indications are that the yacht market in the U.S. is

finally in full recovery. We just saw the best Fort Lauderdale

show in many years. A number of buyers are still waiting

to re-enter the market, [but] sales are trending up and

I expect Miami to be as good or better.” —Andrew Cilla,

president of Luke Brown Yachts

“Record stock market highs and a recovering real estate

market have created a positive environment for pleasure

purchases, though the lessons of the recession have made

consumers more careful with their spending.” —Lon

McCloskey, president/director of The Marine Group, and president

of the Florida Yacht Brokers Association (FYBA)

“The chatter I’m hearing suggests it is the perfect time to

buy a yacht, with a strong period of sustained yacht sales,

particularly in the 90-foot to 120-foot range.” —Alastair

Callendar, creative director of Sanlorenzo Americas

“Strong demand for new and late-model boats in the

70-plus range. Older models aren’t selling as well but have

gained some traction as they continue to be great buys

for boaters who don’t mind older technology, etc.” —Jon

Burkard, brokerage & charter president, Allied Marine

‹YI: How can consumers get the most value out of a

brokerage yacht this spring?

“As you trust your Realtor, attorney or stock advisor,

find a broker you are comfortable with to apprise

you of the strengths, weaknesses, and historic and

current pricing of the yachts you’re interested in. Your

broker should direct you to yachts that fit your criteria

and also offer alternatives.” —Kevin Merrigan, CEO of

Northrop & Johnson

Clarke: “Shop around. There are always deals to be

had at a boat show—that’s why owners put their

boats in the show—and there’s always room for

negotiating. Some of the best deals happen at the

show, not after it.”

YI: What are some highlights attendees can expect this

year at the Miami Yacht & Brokerage Show?

“There will be plenty of events and seminars to attend

at the show. We have revamped our transportation

system to make getting around the various locations

easier for attendees. The water taxi is a new shuttle

option this year, and we’ve expanded the show into

Miami Beach Marina with a new ‘Superyacht Miami’

exhibit—a collection of yachts over 150 feet. Our

MyBoatShow mobile app is a great tool to help

attendees navigate the show.” —Vladimir Danylyshyn,

director of IT & MIS at Show Management

Merrigan: “An excellent selection of product, many of

them aggressively priced for sale. Miami is an appealing

open venue for inspecting a large variety of yachts.”

McCloskey: “Located in the yachting capital of the

world, the Miami show attracts boating professionals

and enthusiasts from all over. Miami’s international

reputation also helps draw the world’s ‘jet set’ to the

event. The Yacht & Brokerage Show is free, so one can

come and go as they please. Utilizing adjacent accommodations

allows a relaxed schedule and repeat visits

to a favorite exhibit.”

YI: What’s new and exciting in the market this year for

consumers?

Clarke: “We’re noticing a few cool new trends.

High quality 30-, 40-, even 50-foot RIB tenders are

hitting the U.S. luxury market, a testament that

Mediterranean-style, open-layout cruising is gaining

popularity here in the States.”

Hamilton: “Builders are finding ways to use less fossil

fuels while providing increased performance and

incredible onboard experiences conceived around the

personality of the individual owner.”

Hull F75 is the second in the

Vintage series. The exterior styling

of the 140-foot yacht evokes the

charm of yesteryear.

Simply

ClassicBY Justin

Codecasa’s 42 Vintage

series brings owners’

high expectations in line

with the aesthetics of an

age gone by.

Ratcliffe


ABOVE: The shipyard’s patriarch, Fulvio Codecasa, guided the layout

and interior décor of Hull F75 according to his own tastes.

WHEREAS OTHER SUPERYACHT BUILDERS ARE APT TO

shout about their new products, the family-run Codecasa company

in Viareggio, Italy, prefers to whisper. This low-key approach is in

direct contrast with the high-profile status of many of the builder’s

clients, such as Prince Albert of Monaco, Giorgio Armani, Domenico

Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. On the other hand, such restraint may

be the very reason celebrity owners are so enamored of the brand. Hull

F75, the second in the 140-foot (42.5-meter) Vintage series, mirrors

Codecasa’s discreet approach to yacht marketing by choosing classic

simplicity over vulgar ostentation.

“The exterior design began with the vertical bow stem, a design feature

borrowed from the yachts of the past, which was the starting

point for the superstructure styling,” says project manager Antonio

Giorgetti. “We believe her steel-and-aluminum construction, combined

with the traditional profile, provides a sense of reassurance and

seaworthiness, especially in today’s economic uncertainty.”

Speaking of economic uncertainty, Codecasa is one of the few shipyards

in the world today prepared to complete a superyacht on spec

without a signed contract—an indication of its supreme confidence in

its product. This was the case with both Hull F75 and her predecessor,

Magari, the first in the Vintage series. This doesn’t seem to faze the

shipyard’s patriarch, Fulvio Codecasa, and his family, who are happy

to finish the interior to their own tastes and use the yacht for a season

or two before a buyer comes along.

In the case of Hull F75, launched last summer, these tastes are soberly

elegant to complement the exterior styling. The interior design, based

on white-painted joinery, Carrara marble, Majilite fabric wall panels

and a mahogany parquet sole, is by architects Anna Maria and Franco

Della Role, who work exclusively for Codecasa when it comes to yacht

projects. Bold artwork commissioned by Fulvio Codecasa punctuates

the muted color scheme.

“Our long collaboration with Codecasa means we understand their

needs and tastes,” says the designer duo. “Fulvio Codecasa explained

step-by-step the kind of interior he had in mind in line with the classic

lines of the hull and superstructures, which we reproduced in the

furniture, detailing and materials.”

As luck would have it on this day, Magari (launched in 2011 and owned

by another prominent Italian entrepreneur) was moored at the Codecasa

dock while undergoing warranty work. This provided an opportunity to

go aboard both yachts to observe how the semi-custom series has evolved

and can be adapted to owners’ individual requirements.

A significant practical—as opposed to an aesthetic—difference can

be found in the galley layouts. The first yacht, which won a Nautical

Design Award for her interior, features a door from the galley so crew

can directly access the corridor leading to the owner’s suite on the forward

main deck. This may have been a convenient feature for servicing,

but it limited the space available for kitchen equipment. On Hull F75,

it has been done away with to improve the functionality of the galley

and provide space for a larger pantry serving the dining room.

Another variation appears in the upper deck lounge. On Magari, the

sky lounge is shortened to provide a semi-open, air-conditioned “conservatory”

space on the aft deck, with teak decking that continues into

the lounge to blur the distinction between interior and exterior. On the

second hull, the sky lounge has resumed its original proportions, but

still leaves space for 12-person dining on the open aft deck. An added

detail is the two bench seats molded out of the engine room ventilation

cowlings on either side of the aft deck—a simple solution that makes

good use of an obtrusive, but necessary, technical feature.

In the engine room, the equipment specs are unchanged, but on

Hull F75 the hydraulic pumps for the zero-speed Quantum stabilizers

have been relocated farther away from the bulkhead adjoining the aft

guest cabins to reduce noise. When anchored, with generators and stabilizers

in operation, Hull F75 has noise levels of less than 40 decibels

in the guest suites, according to the yard.

These and other design tweaks are being introduced as the series develops.

A third 42 Vintage in build, for example, extends the owner’s suite

on the forward main deck into a full-beam cabin. One consequence

of the retro exterior styling is that windows are quite small by modern

standards, especially in the owner’s suite. So on a brand-new 164-foot

(50-meter) edition of the Vintage, also under construction, the windows

have been increased in size and the exterior bulwarks lowered to provide

more natural light and better sea views. This larger yacht will also

include a spa tub forward on the sundeck. Codecasa carries out its own

naval architecture in-house, resulting in yachts that are extremely wellengineered

with safety features that often exceed class requirements.

Comfortably classy and reassuringly reserved, the Vintage series is

for owners who prefer leisurely cruising at displacement speeds on

oceangoing yachts that are immutably elegant.

THE 2014 HAINAN RENDEZ-VOUS

ASIA’S BIGGEST

LIFESTYLE SHOWCASE

IMAGE GALLERY

PLAY VIDEO

In 2010, the Hainan Rendez-Vous made a lasting first impression on China’s

ultra high-net-worth individuals, bringing with it a legion of private jets,

yachts and high-end luxury goods. This year, the Visun Group are preparing

to host the fifth chapter in the show’s evolution, where it will welcome

industry leaders and luxury aficionados from across the globe to the Visun

Royal Yacht Club.

F

or some time now, China has been

identified as the world’s next emerging

market with regard to generating new interest

in the superyacht industry.

With the country’s sizeable populace of

multimillionaires and billionaires experiencing

a major boom, this is a market with great

promise and, crucially for the superyacht

industry, one that is increasingly attracted

to the yachting lifestyle.

“The Chinese yachting industry has got off

the ground, developed and matured in recent

years,” explains HNRV Founder and Visun

Group Chairman Dafu Wang, “playing an

important role in China’s yacht and tourism

economy, especially that of the international

tourism island.”

Since its inception, the physical scale of

the Hainan Rendez-Vous has expanded from

the original 1,000m 2 to the current 4,000m 2 .

Not only has the size of the show grown

by 1,000m 2 every year over four years, but

visitor numbers have exploded from just

5,000 the first year to an impressive 23,000

in 2013.

This ever-expanding luxury showcase

acts as the perfect platform for motor,

sailing and superyacht builders, brokers,

private jet companies, world renowned

automotive engineers and myriad high-end

luxury brands to further their presence in the

region, network with influential members of

the nation’s elite, host forums and ultimately

illustrate the exclusive lifestyle of China’s

modern high-flyer.

“Using this annual event as the

cornerstone,” continues Dafu Wang, “China

Rendez-Vous’ mission is to lead the high

quality lifestyle and redefine the high-end

lifestyle in China.”

After making a decision to move away

from the original organisational structure,

the Visun Group has introduced a brandnew

superyacht area and are planning

to make the 2014 Hainan Rendez-Vous

the biggest luxury showcase China has

ever seen.

With an increased emphasis on yachting,

this is a show that will undoubtedly further

the region’s growing demand for the luxury

yachting lifestyle, highlight the nation’s

economic prosperity and establish itself as an

invaluable addition to the superyacht calendar.

The 5th Hainan Rendez-Vous will be held

at the Sanya Visun Royal Yacht Club from

March 27th - March 30th 2014.

Perini Navi creates

an innovative

performance

cruiser for owners

new to sailing who

Takes

plan to race.

Wing

BY Jill Bobrow


ABOVE: The profile of the 60-meter is lower and sleeker than

her 56-meter predecessor, and sports a host of new innovative

hardware and carbon fiber booms and rigging.

INDUSTRIALIST, INVENTOR AND PERINI NAVI GROUP

founder Fabio Perini was at a loss in the early 1980s when he was

unable to find a singlehanded sailing yacht with the aesthetics and

comforts he was seeking, so he designed and built his own boat.

“I have always been after high sailing performance and simplicity,”

Perini says.

Those values have carried through the 53 sailing yachts and two

motoryachts the company and its divisions have delivered since 1984.

Many of the sailing systems and much of the firm’s innovative technology

and engineering have been developed in-house, and it’s all on full

display with Seahawk, the first of a new 60-meter (197-foot) series.

Seahawk, with her aluminum hull created by Perini Navi and Ron

Holland Design, is decidedly recognizable as descending from the company’s

popular 56-meter (184-foot) series. However, according to build

captain and project manager David “Hutch” Hutchison, Seahawk is not

number 11 in the 56-meter series, but is virtually a new yacht featuring

many improvements and innovations. For starters, the hull shape has

been refined and optimized for performance. The proportions between

the yacht’s waterline and beam render a sleeker appearance, and her new

lifting fin keel lets her sail not only faster, but more efficiently.

Seahawk is her owners’ first sailing yacht. They also own a 1922 commuter

and an 85-foot motoryacht built by the Italian shipyard Arcadia,

known for its extensive use of solar panels. In the same spirit of ecological

consciousness, they decided to create a wind-powered yacht—

and they were adamant that their boat be a performance design. Their

first taste of competition was the Perini Navi Cup in Sardinia last fall.

Since the yacht was brand-new, they chose not to compete, but they

did sail along with the fleet. According to Hutchinson, performance

met everyone’s expectations.

When I stepped aboard, I was immediately impressed by the yacht’s

serene beauty, inside and out. Hutchinson credits the owners for

demanding a particularly high level of detail. The exterior design varies

considerably from the 56-meter series, revealing a smaller superstructure

and coachroof, as well as expanded outdoor living spaces. The aft

cockpit on the main deck can be fully enclosed and air conditioned,

which is a first on a Perini sailing yacht. The flybridge deck is organized

for comfort with foot and grab holds for security while heeling.

Forward of the bridge is a private cockpit area which, combined with

the foredeck, offers a vast amount of space for entertaining, especially

since the two 21-foot tender wells are built flush to the deck. To keep

things tidier still, the headsail furlers at the base of the main mast have

their motors hidden beneath the deck.

The interior is a clean, modern creation by renowned Parisian designer

Christian Liaigre. According to Melanie Martel, Seahawk’s chief stewardess,

who assisted in the interior planning, the owners wanted guests

to experience the magic that is a sailing yacht. They did not want

Seahawk to replicate a Park Avenue penthouse. Much of the curvature

of the hull structure is visible, and the marine feel and nautical notes

complement the contemporary design and furnishings.

On the main deck, the living area revolves around a central staircase

that leads up to the flybridge and below to the guest accommodations.

The main salon, with its array of leather couches, is situated off-center

so when guests enter from the aft cockpit, the salon is not directly in

the path of foot traffic. An L-shape glass vitrine behind the main salon

sofa provides a visual, yet transparent room divider. A game table set

up for chess is off to one side, and the dining table runs longitudinally

rather than athwartships.

While there are defined areas for lounging, eating, playing and relaxing,

there is also a flow and connection on this entire deck level. A

major focal point are two deep-red painted nautical maps on the forward

bulkhead, fashioned in what is referred to as Art Deco Dunand

after a Swiss lacquer artist from the early 20 th century. Carefully placed

pieces of art from Polynesia and Indonesia add more visual interest

to the yacht’s rather homogeneous color palette, which is deliberate.

Bleached teak is utilized on the floors and ceilings, and everything else

is a version of red, white, silver and black. In fact, most items aboard

the yacht are designated with RAL color-chart numbers, including in

the engine room.

The lower deck has four en suite double guest cabins and a full-beam

master suite. The master has an unusual arrangement with two queensize

beds on opposite diagonals, facing each other. The room can be

partitioned into two cabins by using a center wall, which is ideal for

charter. In the master, the bed bases and small side cabinets are ebony.

The only splash of non-standard color is on the wraparound bed headboards

upholstered in Hermes-orange leather. Modern stainless-steel

sinks in marble countertops make for chic heads. The interior décor is

understated, but extremely elegant.

Not only is the boat beautifully appointed and easy to live in for

the owners and guests, but also for the captain and crew. The galley

is spacious and the crew quarters include laundry facilities, extra

refrigerators and plenty of stowage. There are five double cabins for

the 10 crewmembers, plus a captain’s cabin. The glass bridge is the

captain’s pride and joy. He can choose to navigate from here or the

flybridge. With all the innovative sailing technology installed on the

boat, Seahawk promises to be one of Perini’s easiest yachts to sail—

maybe not singlehanded as Fabio Perini intended for his first yacht,

but a dream sailing yacht nonetheless.

INNOVATIONS ON SEAHAWK

BUILD CAPTAIN DAVID “HUTCH” HUTCHISON HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH PERINI NAVI FOR 16 YEARS BEGINNING WITH

LIBERTY IN 1998. HE DISCUSSES SOME OF SEAHAWK’S INNOVATIONS WITH JILL BOBROW.

Fabio Perini is known for having invented a unique furling system.

What is the arrangement on Seahawk?

DH: The furlers have been completely redesigned to be more

powerful, and their motors are now underneath the deck. They were

designed with a hydraulic ram to be able to regulate stay tension and

another to manage luff tension.

What is new about Seahawk’s sail plan?

DH: There is a lot of sail area, 2,125 square meters [22,873 square

feet]. The main mast is 62 meters [203 feet] high and the mizzen is 52

meters [170 feet]. Their combined weight is the equivalent of what the

main mast alone weighed on the first 56-meter. More weight saving

occurred with the use of a carbon fiber boom, spreaders, headstays

and, for the first time, for the standing rigging. This weight savings

necessitated less ballast, so Seahawk is especially lightweight for a boat

of her size. Her displacement is 570 tons, yet her living spaces are still

under 500 gross tons.

What other hardware innovations were designed for Seahawk?

DH: Faster captive reel winches to create faster maneuvering and

more reeling power. Innovative sensors measure the loads and

regulate the reeling speed. The reeling speeds for this yacht versus the

latest 56-meters have been lessened by well over a minute. All this is

really crucial when tacking, particularly in a race.

THE

Panama once was an obstacle for yachts

moving between oceans. Now cruisers

are finding the slim sliver of land between

continents an appealing destination.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY Jim Raycroft

PANAMA TRADITIONALLY HAS BEEN A PLACE FOR YACHTS

to pass through as they move between oceans. Transiting the canal has long

been on the bucket lists of many owners. But the country has never caught

on as a popular cruising destination. And that’s all about to change.

Wedged between Costa Rica to the northwest and Colombia to the

southeast where Central and South America meet, Panama has all its life

been synonymous with transition. It was regularly ransacked by Spanish

conquistadors, was once made a province of Colombia and finally succumbed

to American control of what we know today as the Canal Zone

following a 10-year dig by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. During

the past quarter-century, Panama has established itself as an independent

nation with a flourishing economy, a stable political landscape and a government

eager to expand the canal’s capacity along with Panama City’s

waterfront of high-rise hotels and nearby tourist attractions such as zip

lines and ATV scrambles. This is all good news for the cruising yachtsman,

who now can enjoy destinations on land as well as fun in the cruising areas

that Panama offers on its Caribbean side.

Atlantic coast.

Approaching from the Caribbean, you’ll find the San Blas archipelago

south of the canal entrance. It is home to the indigenous Kuna

Indians, who preserve their heritage by keeping their customs, village

structures and dress unchanged. The women wear traditional, colorful

handmade blouses called molas and often adorn their faces with nose

rings and primitive painted designs. On occasion, they will approach

cruising boats to sell the molas—which are handmade, one-of-a-kind

souvenirs well worth buying.

The approach to the canal from the San Blas side is anything but primitive.

Dozens of modern cargo ships swing at anchor awaiting their turn.

Canal operations run 24/7, but a daylight passage is the preferred timing

for yachts. Passing under the Bridge of the Americas (Puente de las

Americas) signals the approach to Panama City, a booming metropolis

with a Latin beat. The old city, with narrow stone streets, charming

cafés and historical churches, is an easy walking experience. The Encima

Rooftop Bar atop the Tántalo Hotel is a good place to enjoy a beverage and

the ocean breeze. Look for transient dockage at the Flamenco Marina on

Flamenco Island, where Yachts International affiliate and Fort Lauderdale

International Boat Show producer Show Management will host the first

Panama International Boat Show this year. The marina is minutes from

restaurants, shopping, hotels, casinos, bars and nightlife.

Arguably some of the best of these are found at the Hard Rock Hotel

Panama Megapolis, a 66-story glass tower with four restaurants, seven

clubs and the ultimate Rock Star Suites, complete with a Fender electric

guitar delivered to your room. If you can’t find music to your

liking there, try the Panama City districts of Casco Viejo, Calzada de

Amador and Calle Uruguay for classical music, jazz, theater, dancing,

an intimate romantic oceanside dinner or state-of-the-art night clubs.

If it’s your time to check another item off the bucket list, or better

still, if you want to partake in the pleasures of an emergent crusing

destination, set a course for the famed global intersection where north

meets south and east meets west.

The sumptuous interior

of Moonen's 138-foot

Sofia moves the heart

and stirs the soul.

BY Jill Bobrow

102 | MARCH 2014


ABOVE: The sky lounge can be air-conditioned or fully open to the elements,

depending on the owner's whim or if the cigar humidor is in use.

LOVE YOUR YACHT? WHY NOT BECOME A SHAREHOLDER

in the company that built it? That is exactly what the owner of the

new 138-foot (42-meter) custom-built Moonen Sofia did. To say he

is enthusiastic about Moonen is an understatement. Sofia is his third

consecutive yacht from the yard, and because of his directives, the

yacht is the largest and most technologically advanced that Moonen

has delivered. Sofia stood apart from the crowd at the Cannes,

Monaco and Fort Lauderdale boat shows. It was impossible to pass by

her without noticing the flamboyantly yellow submarine perched on

her aft deck. The sub certainly caught my attention, and when interior

designer Frank Pieterse treated me to a tour of the yacht, I discovered

the sub was merely a tease to the surprises within.

Sofia is built to Lloyd’s and MCA specifications with naval architecture

by Stolk Marimecs. Moonen masterminded her engineering

in-house, and René van der Velden styled her no-nonsense exterior.

The captivating interior styling is the handiwork of Art-Line, the

Netherlands-based design firm headed by Pieterse and Marilyn de

Vaal, who were responsible for the interior design of the two previous

Sofias. Art-Line worked closely with the owner and the Moonen team

to get every detail just right.

Sofia’s owner is a gregarious and affable gentleman of Mexican

heritage with dual Mexican and American citizenship. He has global

business interests and claims to live in a jet—when he’s not on his

yacht, that is. Flying and boating are two of his hobbies. He pilots

small planes and helicopters, and likes to helm his own boats when

the mood strikes him. He has owned a number of yachts beginning

with a 34-foot (10.3-meter) composite powerboat. He has moved on

to increasingly larger boats, and today he maintains a 61-foot (18.5-

meter) sailing yacht in addition to Sofia.

In 2005, he decided he wanted a steel-hulled yacht. An 84-foot

(25.6-meter) Moonen captured his imagination. After spending

time on Sofia number one, he determined he needed more space and

commissioned his second Sofia, a 97-footer (29.5-meter) that was

stretched to 100 feet (30.5 meters) by the time she launched in 2008.

“We traveled extensively with it and never had any problems whatsoever—great

quality build and engineering,” he says.

He says he has complete trust in Moonen and the design team, but

he enjoys influencing much of the decision making. During the twoand-a-half

year build, he and his wife flew to the yard every couple

of months.

“We wanted the yacht to yield as much volume as possible while

keeping it under 500 gross tons,” says Moonen Managing Director

Emile Bilterijst. “Partway through the build, it was decided to have a

three-person submarine instead of a two-man one, and the added size

and weight created quite a challenge as we had to make major accommodations

to support it.”

“I wanted a boat capable of carrying a submarine,” the owner told

me in an interview on board. “I love to scuba dive, but in cold waters,

you need a thick wet suit. I want to be very comfortable when I go

underwater to see whales, and I hate putting on a wet suit. When you

get old, it’s like putting on a corset.”

The owner has a playful personality and likes to joke. When I asked

about the name Sofia, assuming it was his wife’s, he smiled and said,

“No, it is my daughter’s name. You can change a wife, but you can’t

change your daughter.”

He says the boat lets his family enjoy quality time together. He also

winked and said that with a yacht such as Sofia, it isn’t hard to get his

teenage daughter to want to spend time aboard, especially because she

can bring her friends along. Since the launch of this Sofia, the family

has enjoyed a summer of travel in Morocco, Gibraltar and Spain, and

a winter in the Bahamas and Caribbean. The boat is laid out for maximum

comfort for entertaining, relaxing and having fun, and she is

extremely quiet under way.

The yacht’s overall length had to be extended and a new swim platform

engineered to handle the 4.5-ton C-Quester 3 submarine from

U-Boat Worx and the crane to launch it. The resulting yacht shape

and volume then dictated the interior design. The sturdy expeditionstyle

exterior, with its wheelhouse relatively far forward, belies the

contemporary interior. The entire accommodations plan is decidedly

different from a traditional explorer vessel.

“The challenge was to bring 50-meter spaces to a 42-meter yacht

through the use of light shapes and sophisticated materials,” says

Pieterse. Art-Line avoided a linear layout with corridors. Instead,

there is circular fluidity. The main salon is a large, open plan that flows


unrestricted by bulkheads. So many rounded spaces invoke the feeling

of a cocoon. The curvaceous shapes of the furniture—a cylindrical

coffee table, a beveled bar and an oval dining table—echo the sweeping

lines of the entry and overhead. The focal point of the main deck

interior is a central oval atrium, which has a stunning spiral staircase

with a backlit column made from concetto stone fabricated in Israel.

Stainless steel vertical supports ascend three stories. A skylight at the

top bathes the atrium in natural light. There is a distinct absence of

any doors or walls. A sculptural element hides the ceiling air outlets

and the engine and ventilation room shafts.

Art-Line, in consultation with the owner, was responsible for the fabrics

and thematic colors throughout the yacht. The overall serenity of

the interior is balanced with a riot of texture: stone, steel, wood and

leather. The palm-leaf wallpaper, Pieterse says, has a non-reflective softness

to it that creates a nice contrast with the high-gloss wood finish.

Sofia’s interior is exotic and eclectic. The main-deck master stateroom

takes advantage of the full beam forward with a private seating

area and a generous head. The woods used, oak and zebrano, create

a palette of brown and beige tones: cocoa, caramel, cinnamon and

clove. A horizontal grain runs along the wood paneling and is mirrored

by the horizontal cane wicker in the bed frames and the slats

on the window treatments. Small artistic touches were sourced worldwide.

For instance, instead of retaining rails on the desk, Art-Line

sourced leather trays in Brazil and embedded them into the counters.

The guest cabins on the lower deck spiral off the central staircase,

again, without the intrusion of corridors.

The bridge deck is uniquely laid out so that it is visually connected

dining. It also supports a tender and three personal watercraft.

to the other decks. While sitting in the portside upper salon, one

can watch the flow from the central staircase. This upper salon also

includes a gym and a lounge. The gym can be completely closed off

and, with a pull-down bed, used as an extra guest room.

A sitting area on the bridge deck can be fully opened to the fresh

air or remain enclosed if guests prefer air conditioning. The owner is

fond of cigars with his cognac, so he wanted to appease his wife with

the option of fresh air. He can puff away to his heart’s content on the

sundeck, which is the communal gathering spot for bar, barbecue,

lounging and partaking of the spa pool.

Sofia sets a new benchmark for Moonen. There is no greater testament

to a builder than a content repeat owner, except maybe one who

invests in the company’s future, as this owner did late in 2013.

“Prioritization” is important, as the amount of bandwidth

Says Soleto: “Service plans depend on speed, ratio,

Aggressive

Overmarine’s water

jet-powered Mangusta

94 shows that even fast

and furious has a

sensitive side.

BY Alan Harper

118 | MARCH 2014


SITTING AT A SALON TABLE, TAKING NOTES AND MUSING ON AN INTOXICATING

combination of high living and hard horsepower, I was enjoying an espresso and chatting with

the captain and the shipyard staff when it struck me: This was a pretty strange situation. All was

quiet, comfortable and relaxed, yet a glance out the window suggested that the world was flying

by at a phenomenal rate, and the log confirmed it: 35 knots. But there were no raised voices, no

white knuckles, and my handwriting was no more illegible than usual.

The vessel I was on was making her way from Cannes back to her homeport in the only

fashion she knew—at high speed. Beaulieu-sur-Mer is barely 30 miles down the coast from

Cannes. That’s a pleasant afternoon cruise for many boats, but for the Mangusta 94, it was a

rapid passage that began and ended in the time it normally takes me to coil the lines and stow

the fenders.

The benign conditions certainly helped, with barely a breath of breeze and just a light lop,

which the 94 sliced through imperiously. Like surface drives, jets are optimized for high performance,

and if the weather allows it, you might as well hammer the throttles, as moderation

brings little in the way of efficiency gains. With about one-third fuel and full water tanks, plus a

full inventory of cruising stores and a RIB in the stern garage, we recorded a 37-knot maximum

speed. Not bad at all. Even more impressive was the 94’s handling.

Her orb-like fly-by-wire controls may look weird, but they are totally

intuitive and the yacht responded willingly to the lightest inputs from

throttle and helm. Not even in the hardest high-speed turns did the

hull threaten to lose its grip on the water, thanks to a pair of small fins

at the stern not much bigger than the ones on your surfboard.

The Overmarine shipyard in Viareggio, with nearly 30 years under

its belt, knows a thing or two about building yachts like this.

Mangusta (it means mongoose; the boat to beat when the shipyard

started was Technomarine’s Cobra) has become a byword for big,

fast and luxurious boats. As for luxury, the yard has long made a reputation

for itself as a purveyor of the shortest options lists in yachtbuilding.

The 94’s list comprises just three items: gyro stabilizers, an

upper helm station and an electrical frequency converter. Everything

else is included in the price, even a custom layout. Overmarine has

a remarkably relaxed attitude regarding these things, and while the

standard published plans illustrate a

fairly conventional four-cabin arrangement

below, the first 94 had just two

cabins. This particular yacht, the second

off the line, had three. The port guest

twin was sacrificed for a fantastic private

lounge on the lower deck with a desk

and sofa, and a large TV on the forward

bulkhead. It’s an idyllic place to sit and read, or to quietly socialize

while the bustle of real life continues upstairs.

With 6 feet 9 inches of headroom, the master suite amidships feels

exceptionally spacious. Huge hull windows accentuate the effect. The

VIP in the bow, by contrast, feels much more compact, although

headroom is still generous both there and in the starboard guest cabin,

and the berths are full-size.

In the salon, a U-shape sofa sits opposite a substantial TV, with a

freestanding dining table aft. Four LED skylights allow you to turn

the sky on or off, and the side windows offer excellent views. Keeping

the galley out of sight and out of mind—it’s down the aft companionway,

in the crew area—ensures that the main-deck relaxation and

entertaining spaces breathe easily and feel luxuriously expansive.

The interior décor is tailored to order by the shipyard’s designers. This

particular 94’s owner opted for decapé oak and wenge, white leather

deckheads, contrasting trim in brown leather, detailing in lizard skin

and stainless steel, and mosaic tiles and travertine marble for the heads.

It worked for me, but you can request pretty much whatever you like.

While the new Mangusta 94 shares the same hull design and propulsion

engineering as the earlier 92, of which 28 were built over

a 10-year period, the deck and superstructure moldings are entirely

new. The sundeck is also a new feature that comes with the option of

an upper helm station, and the foredeck seating area is far more elaborate

than on earlier models with a sofa, adjustable tables and lounging

areas taking the place of a simple sunpad.

But at 35 knots, with the Côte d’Azur rolling past off the port beam

and the concrete breakwater of Beaulieu-sur-Mer coming rapidly into

view ahead, it was a little too breezy to sit up there. So I hunkered

down at the salon table, taking notes, drinking coffee and really

appreciating this yacht’s combination of luxury and horsepower.

After only just stepping aboard, Cannes already seemed a distant

memory, thanks to the sheer passagemaking competence of this powerful

yacht. And while the peace and quiet I enjoyed below might

have seemed incongruous to the exhilaration happening just outside

the window, it sure hadn’t taken me very long to get used to it.

Overseas Tax Scene

Gaining Stability

VAT RATES AND RULES ARE CHANGING JUST IN TIME

FOR THE SUMMER CHARTER SEASON.

By Kim Kavin

At this time last year, the system of value-added

tax in some Mediterranean cruising areas was so

unclear that charter clients were being asked to

sign contract addenda that pretty much stated,

“We don’t know which government is actually

going to charge what percentage, but be aware

that you may be obligated to pay a lot more in

taxes than the contract mentions.” Talk about a

way to drive prospective clients off the water and

into the fiscal comfort of oceanfront villas.

Thankfully, things are a bit clearer this year as

the Mediterranean season approaches, but stillevolving

rules for determining and collecting VAT

from Spain all the way across to Croatia have the

world’s top brokers attending seminars, asking

questions and hoping clients won’t be spooked

into staying ashore as the tax implications

for chartering become ever more Byzantine.

Separating rumor from fact is the order of the

day, and as senior charter agent James Graham-

Cloete of Ocean Independence recently put it,

“With all of these things, there’s always the possibility

that things can change.” Sometimes, the

reality will be determined not by what any given

government says, but by whether officials have

put organizations in place to match newly passed

rules—literally, whether there’s a guy at a desk in

a port to collect paperwork and money.

As best as anyone can tell right now, the current

tax situation for charter is easiest in Turkey, which

is not part of the European Union and thus has no

VAT. Chartering in neighboring Greece will cost

you a VAT of 5 percent to 6.5 percent depending

on the yacht, unless you start your charter in

Turkey and then cruise into Greece, in which case

there should be no Greek VAT due at all.

Croatia has changed things this year by installing

a 13-percent VAT when there used to be

none, but neighboring Montenegro still charges

zero (like Turkey, it’s not a member of the

European Union). That means a charter starting

in Montenegro and then moving into Croatia

should not be subject to any VAT.

Italy hasn’t changed its VAT structure from last

year. It’s still 22 percent, but you can get that

bumped down to an effective tax rate of 6.6

percent if your charter itinerary includes time in

international waters. The rule is that you have to

cruise at least 12 nautical miles offshore, say from

Porto Cervo to the Aeolian Islands. France has a

similar deal, with its VAT as of January rising to 20

percent and the possibility of a reduction to 10

percent for an itinerary that starts in France and

includes international waters.

“A five-minute loop to go 13 nautical miles offshore

won’t be accepted,” Graham-Cloete says.

“You can’t say you were in international waters

for a few minutes of fishing. A few hours of whale

watching, though, that should be acceptable. The

point is that if you’re starting in Italy or France

but not going into international waters, you’re

not going to get the reduced rate.”

Spain has yet to introduce the option of a

reduced rate on its 21-percent VAT, but expectations

are for more boats to be available there

this summer thanks to an end of the matriculation

tax, which charged yacht owners 12 percent of

the yacht’s value for the privilege of doing charter

business in Spanish waters. With that tax gone,

more yacht owners may apply for Spanish cruising

permits, creating new options for charter clients.

The question remaining is whether clients will be

willing to pay a 21-percent VAT to cruise in the

Balearics when they can pay 6.6 or 10 percent to

cruise between Corsica and Sardinia.

“If anybody thinks it’s getting easier, it’s not,”

says Barbara Müller, who is based in the Palma

de Mallorca office of Ocean Independence. “We

hope we will get the same system as France or

Italy where there is a reduction in VAT if you go

to international waters, but it will not be this year

in Spain. We are working on it.”

The long and the short of the situation this

summer across the Mediterranean is to once

again be prepared for some confusion, and to

take an interest in what is sure to be the year’s

most popular activity: looking for whales about

13 nautical miles offshore.

THREE NEW LAUNCHES JOIN THE CHARTER FLEET FOR THE COMING SEASON.

By Kim Kavin

BALTIC INUKSHUK

It’s uncommon to see a truly custom build in the charter market.

Interiors may be fully personalized, of course, but hull molds are re-used

and designs are tweaked and before you know it, what was once an

original yacht is hull number one in a series of 15. That will never be

the case with Inukshuk, the new 107 from Baltic Yachts in Finland. She

is unique and brand-new for charter, having launched in May 2013. She

was used exclusively by her owner until a couple of months ago, when

she opened for bookings in the Caribbean. Inukshuk is built for high-performance

sailing with carbon fiber everywhere. Her crew hit 18 knots

on the yacht’s first Atlantic crossing. The Adam Lay interior, inspired by

northeast Canada, is refreshing in its originality with oak floors and walls

stained metallic gray and details such as lampshades made from mapleleaf

cloth. Inukshuk is moving to New England this summer, taking as

many as eight guests at a weekly base rate of $70,000.

PERINI NAVI STATE OF GRACE

A new Perini Navi has always been a thing of beauty, and the 131-foot State of

Grace continues the Italian builder’s legacy. She launched in 2013 as the first in

a new series by in-house naval architects and designer Ron Holland. She has a

12,830-square-foot sailplan and an innovative control system. The interior décor

mixes walnut and maple joinery with everything from carbon fiber armchairs by

Ralph Lauren to additional seating by Italian designer Matteo Grassi. As you read

this, State of Grace should be finishing her first winter season of charter in the

Caribbean with availability this summer in the Mediterranean. The lowest weekly

base rate is $115,000 for eight guests.

DUNYA AXIOMA

The 236-foot head-turner Axioma launched as Red

Square from the Dunya shipyard in Turkey in 2013. She

got a new owner in November, was rechristened and

became available for charter in January in the Caribbean.

She is expected to be in the Mediterranean this summer,

when her weekly base rate of €525,000 (about

$718,000) will put her in a league with the world’s

premier charter superyachts. Amenities that make her

worthy of that distinction include a helipad, three guest

salons (instead of the usual main salon and sky lounge),

an upper-deck owner’s suite, a sizable cinema, a maindeck

infinity pool, a spa and a gymnasium. The 20-strong

crew should allow for impeccable service with 12 guests,

and a 14-knot cruising speed will make ambitious itineraries

an option.

YOUR YACHT MONEY

The Buyer’s Deposit: Making Legal Sense of Your Dollars and Cents

By Danielle J. Butler

The majority of yacht purchase

offers are tendered with a

deposit. As a buyer, you can better

protect yourself by understanding

who holds this deposit and what

might happen to it in the event of

a contract breach.

At the time a buyer makes a

written offer to a yacht owner,

the buyer is often expected to

submit a good faith deposit of

10 percent. This deposit should be placed

in a third party’s escrow account. It is

commonplace for the buyer’s yacht broker or

an attorney to hold the escrow funds.

When held by an attorney, the funds

are placed into a trust account, not to be

comingled with other client funds or used in

a general account. Trust accounts are closely

monitored by the state bar association in

which the attorney holds their law license.

For example, The Florida Bar has the authority

to audit an attorney’s trust account upon

notification of misappropriation of attorney

trust funds. In addition, an attorney found

to be in violation of The Florida Bar rules

regarding attorney trust accounts may be

fined, censured, suspended for a period of

time and/or disbarred.

Most brokers also maintain trust accounts,

but save for the FDIC protections afforded to

a lending institution trust account, there are

no other protections for the escrowed funds.

A Florida licensed yacht broker is required to

be bonded, but only up to $25,000, which,

considering the large amount of the deposit

in most yacht transactions, also does not

afford much protection for

the escrowed funds. Before

lodging a deposit with a broker,

the buyer should have a clear

understanding of whom the

broker is working for, as the

broker could be representing

both the buyer and seller in the

same transaction. If a broker

holds the buyer’s deposit, then

regardless of whom the broker

represents, the broker has a legal duty to

act as a neutral third party concerning the

deposit. If the broker is acting on behalf of

both parties, then the buyer might want to

consider electing another escrow agent.

Most purchase and sales agreements used

by yacht brokers contain standard language

appointing the buyer’s broker as the escrow

agent. Therefore, if the buyer will be using

someone other than the broker as the escrow

agent, this language must be modified before

submitting the offer to the seller. It is typical

that a buyer’s written offer is drafted by the

buyer’s broker and submitted to the seller’s

broker without an attorney review. If the seller

accepts and signs off on the buyer’s offer, then

the parties have a binding agreement that can

only be modified in writing as negotiated by

both parties.

Other methods of holding a buyer’s deposit

include both parties opening a joint bank

account and having the buyer wire the deposit

there; using an escrow service, such as a

bank, to hold the buyer’s funds; or the buyer

giving the deposit directly to the seller, which

obviously leaves it much less protected should

a dispute arise between the parties.

Regardless of how the deposit is made, the

buyer’s written offer or purchase agreement

needs to have clear terms and conditions about

how the sale is predicated and how the deposit

is to be treated upon a party’s default. The

escrow agent will require explicit instructions

that must be signed by both parties, and will

follow those instructions concerning the

disbursement of escrowed funds.

Most purchase agreements make an offer

contingent upon a buyer’s personal inspection,

survey and sea trial of the yacht. If any one

of those items is unsatisfactory and the buyer

notifies the seller within the contractual

time period, then the escrow agent must

immediately refund the buyer’s deposit.

With most failed transactions, litigation

ensues to determine who breached the

agreement and what becomes of the buyer’s

deposit. If there is a conflict regarding who

has defaulted, then an escrow agent should

do one of two things: hold the deposit until

he receives mutually-agreed-to written

instructions signed by both parties, or lodge

the deposit with the local court. Once the

deposit is lodged with the court, the parties

can fight over the deposit using attorneys.

Because the closing proceedings of most

yacht transactions occur over a relatively

brief amount of time compared with other

business deals—within weeks from start to

close—it’s essential to consider the legal

significance of a deposit. Take a moment to

understand what will happen to your deposit

and ensure that it is being held in a secured

escrow account.

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT.

Yes, you deserve to be the proud owner of this brand

new luxurious yacht. Monocle Fractional Yachts has

made it affordable, uncomplicated, exciting and hassle

free. If you had any doubts about becoming a yacht

owner, rest assure NOW there are none.

The M/Y Irresistible is the perfect way to enter the

exciting world of yachting without the fear of financial

exposure normally associated with yacht ownership.

Purchasing a fractional share of this brand new 80’ yacht

is a safe investment because 1) she is priced well below

current market prices 2) your quarterly contribution

towards the total operating expenses which covers your

professional licensed crew of three, insurance, repairs

and maintenance etc. is minimal and far less than you

would spend on a 30’ or 40’ runabout 3) Monocle,

whose 60 years of asset management experience

assumes all the necessary management functions so you

have no responsibilities and 4) when you decide to sell

your share, it’s quick and easy.

Monocle is introducing the M80 series being built

especially for the Monocle Fractional Program, but really

for the practical man. It is the quintessential vacation

home because you get to explore new surroundings

while enjoying all the comforts of home and still bask in

the prestigious lifestyle previously enjoyed only by the

“rich and famous”. A 10% onetime purchase in the M/Y

Irresistible is only $300,000 which can be financed.

Owning a 10% share in the M/Y Irresistible entitles you to

use the vessel two weeks twice a year in two different

locations. Imagine summers on the Mediterranean or New

England and winters in the Bahamas or the beautiful

Caribbean.

Don’t put off your dreams any longer. Call Monocle right

now to reserve your share. A small refundable deposit

will hold your share or shares and protect you from an

inevitable manufacturers price increase.

MONOCLE FRACTIONAL YACHTS In 1999 we started offering shared fractional ownership of luxury yachts all

over the world. By joining Monocle Fractional Yachts Ownership Program you will experience the total joy of yacht ownership while

minimizing your investment and eliminating the hassles of managing a major asset that lies idle most of the year.
