Sergey CHERNETSKY, superyacht broker and publisher

This release is completely different from previous ones. It is almost entirely in English and contains basic materials on premieres and projects over the past year. We have always accentuated the fact that SEA TRIAL is made for the reader and, first of all, for the Russianspeaking owner of the yacht, regardless of the geography of his stay. And if the Italians can understand the Spaniards and the Germans – the Dutch, then no one can understand Russian or Ukrainian, not even a Pole. Such is the language barrier in action. It is quite natural that our European and American partners could never really appreciate and understand what we are writing there for the Russian-speaking owner or potential buyer. In this issue, we decided to fix it. Colleagues, we would very much like to hear your opinion on what we are doing. Any criticisms are greatly appreciated. Let's look at this project together and understand how to develop it further together. We at SEA TRIAL really want this.

Этот выпуск полностью отличается от предыдущих. Он почти весь на английском языке и содержит основные материалы о премьерах и проектах за прошедший год. Мы всегда акцентировали внимание на том, что SEA TRIAL создан для читателя и, в первую очередь, для владельца яхты, говорящего по-русски, вне зависимости от географии его пребывания. И если итальянцы могут понять испанцев, а немцы – голландцев, то русского или украинца не понимает никто, даже поляк. Таков языковой барьер в действии. Вполне естественно, что наши европейские и американские партнеры никогда не могли по-настоящему оценить и понять то, что мы пишем там для русскоязычного владельца или потенциального покупателя. В этом выпуске мы решили это исправить. Коллеги, очень хотелось бы услышать ваше мнение о том, что мы делаем. Мы высоко ценим любую критику. Давайте вместе посмотрим на этот проект и поймем, как его развивать. Мы в SEA TRIAL действительно этого хотим.

2018 BROKER MARKET OVERVIEW

WITH BROKER OR WITHOUT? BENEFITS WITHOUT DRAWBACKS

F

Teхt by Segey CHERNETSKY

OR THE VERY FIRST TIME, I heard this thought from an ambitious girl, owner of an elite travel agency at the Monaco Yacht Show a few years ago.

She told me in a low voice and her eyes were glowing: “Serge, I will move this market online and then all these brokers are done! You will see, it is going to be like UBER!” Years have passed and attempts to push the superyacht business into virtual space still do not stop. So will brokers lose their jobs in near future? 7-digit commission fees is not a whim! Why pay if you can avoid paying.

CENTRAL AGENCY AGREEMENT (OR AGREEMENT OF THE CENTRAL AGENCY, HEREINAFTER “CA”) IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN SHIP OWNERS AND INTERMEDIARY, A BROKERAGE HOUSE. IT GIVES THE INTERMEDIARY THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO REPRESENT THE SELLER’S YACHT IN THE MARKET AND MEANS THE OWNER WILL NOT BE SELLING THE VESSEL TO ANYONE*, EXCEPT TO A PERSON OR COMPANY, INTRODUCED

BY THE INTERMEDIARY. DURING THE CONTRACT’S TERM THE OWNER MAY NOT BE TRYING TO SELL HIS YACHT HIMSELF. *of course, there are some exceptions.

2018 BROKER MARKET OVERVIEW

BURGESS Eleonora PITASSO, Shipyard Relationship Coordinator & Sales Broker, Monaco area

I talked to a wonderful superyacht market professional, Eleonora Pitasso from BURGESS, about the future. The choice is not accidental, as BURGESS is one of the largest and most profound brokerage houses in the industry.

Serge: What is the brokerage market’s future? Many experts predict it will move into the digital environment.

What will then change in charter and sales in the secondary market?

Eleonora: The future of the brokerage market still promises many years of prosperity ahead. Since I started my career in 2006, I saw the industry has changed a lot and it develops towards structured organizations. Smart companies have made (and are making) great efforts to bring the yacht business to a more competent level. Professional associations such as MYBA, LYBrA or SYBAss have played an important role for sure.

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

Brokers’ role has become managerial and requires, in addition to field experience and product contact, deeper knowledge in financial, legal and technical aspects to guide a client on ideal journey in chartering, buying or building a superyacht.

Serge: What will happen with the market in 2019? How does the work of large brokerage companies change?

Eleonora: The year 2018 looked bright.

Many new yachts have been launched and superyacht builders filled their hangars for several years ahead. There is still a lot of interest in buying a new or used superyacht, and the brokerage market showed strong dynamics in the second half of the year. In several regions, including the United States and Asia, there is a significant surge of new customers. BURGESS has put a lot of effort into these regions and is looking for other growing markets.

Serge: There is a lot of talk now about new generation customers. Who are they?

Eleonora: I appreciate the ongoing discussion about the Millennials, people born in the early 1980s and 1990s. Being a part of this generation, I believe that brokerage companies should invest in technology, sustainability and pay more attention to environmental solutions. Kids of my generation were the last to play outside and then later new generation’s children moved in video games and a virtual era. Mine was the last generation to live during the Cold War and saw that Europe and the neighboring countries are literally transforming and becoming closer.

The Millennials feel extremely “connected”.

It means that they constantly monitor the digital world. However, at the same time, we need to keep our feet on the ground and “live the life we love”. Both the client and the company will have to share their vision to find the perfect product.

2018 BROKER MARKET OVERVIEW

AHOY CLUB Julia NADTOCHII, Global Account Manager, London, United Kingdom

SO, THE BROKER BUSINESS – TO BE OR NOT TO BE? For many years, we have been watching discussions among potential customers, and often they come down to one thing: what is the “Central Agent” and whom to entrust sale of your boat.

Usually these talks are based on negative experience or emotions.

CAs are processed in brokerage companies in the following, uncomplicated manner. First, after a listing department receives full information, they add the yacht to the company's database. Then the yacht’s data is uploaded to restricted professional platforms that are monitored by more than 1500 brokers worldwide. A large brokerage house usually places advertisements in yachting magazines and online media. At the same time, the vessel is placed on a third-party yachting

12

websites, while brokers host open days on board, when they invite colleagues for a drink and to inspect the boat.

It may seem there is an obvious lack of a broker's personal contribution.

Hierarchical system of large organizations makes it impossible to use an individual and purposeful approach to each client.

From the house’s standpoint, a broker generates income by showing yachts to customers, completing transactions and processing documents and, if there is enough time, doing some random marketing. In fact, your boat can eventually fall into another broker’s hands without any special notice.

Yachts differ not only in size, but in style, age and, most importantly, their owners. Boutique brokerage houses are usually known for selling a particular type of yachts or a brand and, therefore, have very limited customer networks. In contrast, large houses use a systematic approach for promoting and selling

boats, regardless of style, age or size.

Too much ado about very little is not always good, especially in terms of price and targeting. A common argument is the size and scope of a brokerage house or, in other words, a number of brokers under the “corporate umbrella”. This is not that far from truth, because a brokerage house is an association of people focused on their clients.

However, joint efforts of all brokers under the same umbrella turn out to be a myth ultimately. Commission fees are divided according to the industry’s standard 60/40 level regardless of whether the vessel is listed and sold by the same house. In the end, if you are a broker, you can sell a yacht, which is on the market with another company, and even in this case, you will not only get the same income, but do not spend your resources!

There is an opinion that brokers are no longer sellers, but listing agents. Their

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

2018 BROKER MARKET OVERVIEW

main task is to sign the CA and then forget about the client. Customers who think they have chosen a wrong Central Agent in the past when selling their yacht may have caused strengthening that negative and cautious attitude towards the CA tool. From time to time, I hear that customers feel disappointed that the brokerage house has shown lack of effort and productivity in attempts to sell a yacht.

WHAT IF YOU TRY TO SELL A YACHT YOURSELF? If you look at possible difficulties of working with brokers, it may seem the only right way to sell is to search a buyer independently, rather than the abovementioned method used by large brokerage houses. However, there are disadvantages of this way. Owners should pay attention to them to evaluate

SEA TRIAL â„–12 l spring 2019

the pros and cons of each method of selling a yacht.

I discussed this with Julia NADTOCHII. Her company is on the other side of the market. While traditional players consistently develop an association of professional brokers, AHOY CLUB is a young and ambitious structure that brings superyacht owners into a community, where they do not have any broker services around them at all.

Serge: What is the brokerage market’s future? Many experts predict that it will move into the digital environment.

What will change in the charter and sales in the secondary market?

Julia: Yes, the market changes. It happens in the yachting sector, luxury tourism, real estate, business aviation. I am convinced the superyacht market will also change. The markets I mentioned

have become open. Client know more, they are "smart", because everybody has access to any information about sellers, commission fees, prices, specifications.

Many yacht and aircraft owners seek to transfer their asset management to a family office, specially created for this purpose. Usually these are boutique companies that also make money in consulting. Quite a few such companies have been created last year. I do not have the exact figure, but we are talking about hundreds. These companies create their own associations and private clubs, where they exchange contacts and recommendations.

Serge: What will happen with the market in 2019? How does the work of large brokerage companies change?

Julia: As I said, next year the superyacht market will become more open. Brokers need to change their strategy, invest in

13

2018 BROKER MARKET OVERVIEW

new ways of interaction with clients.

Otherwise, they will be losing clients and money. Some say if a client is committed to a broker, he will never go to another.

However, it is a big question mark. If I buy D&G today, does that mean I will never buy Gucci? Of course, D&G would like this, but... Brokers have the only chance to keep clients. They have to remain the best in everything + a bit of luck.

Serge: There is a lot of talk now about new generation customers. Who are they?

Julia: They are active young people born in the 80-90s. Their parents have built a successful business or they grew rapidly themselves. They live differently. They are very attentive to spending money and never spend it just like that. They prefer to charter a boat and fly economy class, for example. Take a lot at how the travel market has changed. Previously, a client came and said, he had a budget of 100 thousand euro for a family, and we

14

had to organize a trip to Thailand. Now the same client’s personal assistant buys tickets online, a villa is booked through AMEX concierge and an assistant checks which car is there to pick him up from an airport and what language his driver speaks.

CONCLUSION: A NEW REALITY OF THE SUPERYACHT MARKET IS ALREADY AROUND THE CORNER. BUT! When you think about new, innovative or revolutionary approaches to sales, you must be aware of the real market situation. It is impossible to ignore the fact that owners, due to scale of their businesses, safety reasons and extremely high cost of their time, are rather closed and inaccessible. PR specialists usually run their Twitter or Facebook accounts. There is a secretary to reply calls, etc. Therefore, chances for

direct contacts with them are very slim.

Usually every message, even the tiniest, is being processed before reaching them.

Almost every yacht owner works with a broker, a trustee. The superyacht market is still a brokers’ market. Ignoring brokers means ignoring the lion’s share of the market, it's simple. Brokers will have to be dealt with anyway.

If despite everything mentioned above, you have selected to sell your boat on your own, the first thing to think about is how your strategy affects the price. If an owner refuses to appoint the “Central Agent”, all brokers can be selling his/her yacht. It may seem like a positive factor, but ultimately the industry or customers may mistakenly assume that they see several identical models for sale instead of just one of a kind. Several identical sale ads may make potential customers think that the offer is overinflated and then the price will be lowered eventually.

Several identical ads also confuse potential buyers. Nothing is more complicated than seeing what looks like the same boat, the same images, the

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

2018 BROKER MARKET OVERVIEW

same specifications but all of that is listed by different brokers. A potential client thinks: “Does this boat really exist? Is it a brokerage fishing? Which company is better? Why do so many people sell the same boat?” Since many brokers try to sell this yacht, the owner constantly deals with a number of people, agency representatives and buyers directly wasting time. In addition, it creates a lot of questions and suspicion from potential buyers. Is everything good with this boat? Why are so many brokers involved, etc.?

Secondly. A buyer is another factor in the game! A smart buyer can use several brokers to his/her advantage, forcing them to compete with one another. The owner will receive much less money for the boat than planned. Even when there are just two brokers, it is an ideal situation for a buyer who can use them against each other to lower the price.

Brokers desperately need to sell. They spend a ton of time and effort to convince a buyer that this yacht is what fits his/ her need. An inspection and a test-drive usually means a flight to another country,

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

a hotel, a transport and many other extra expenses. They have to fight for a client and make sure no one allows you to buy the boat through another broker without a battle.

In the end, that is the owner who bears costs and he or she may not even be aware of a war a buyer has unleashed between brokers. We should not forget about legal consequences for the seller, as this aspect must be followed in a very scrupulous fashion. Selling a boat is troublesome. So now, an owner faces a question: “Why should I pay a commission fee to a broker who puts no efforts to defend my interests?” True, the counter question immediately arises: “Where do you expect the efforts to be implemented at all?” If an owner initially shows he/she does not trust his brokerage house and does not sign an exclusive CA, so why should they make efforts to sell this boat? Of course, a broker can make some efforts for the first few weeks, but when it does not lead to any results, why spend money on promoting a vessel that can be sold at any time by another broker and, therefore, without a compensation?

After all, brokers are primarily sellers.

They must believe in what they sell to gain the buyer's trust and confidence. If an owner does not have confidence and desire to appoint the “Central Agent”, is it reasonable to expect that he will trust the seller? If you decide to sell a yacht or buy, and maybe build, what is the right choice for the year 2019? A large and complex brokerage house or a young and ambitious club structure? Maybe you can try doing it yourself. Of course, it is not easy to determine what exactly to do immediately. However, we hope that all the statements above will help to figure out what is what. Perhaps, given the realities, it is worthwhile to sign the “Central Agent” agreement.

If you are still not sure, before entering into the agreement, try chatting with fellow owners, talk to different brokers, or simply drop us a question. It is impossible to reply to all questions within the framework of one article. We will continue to elaborate this topic in next issues and will certainly share successful experience of those who are ahead and was not afraid to take risks.

YACHT SHOWS I MONACO YACHT SHOW 2018

Text by Julia ZALTZMAN Photo by Monaco Yacht Show

MYS: Power, Performance, Perfection THERE IS NO OTHER SETTING OR VENUE ON EARTH THAT RIVALS THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR OF THE MONACO YACHT SHOW; AND EVENT WHERE VESSELS OF UNSURPASSED ENGINEERING, PERFORMANCE AND BEAUTY ARE SHOWCASED AT THEIR VERY BEST

T

HE MONACO Yacht Show is without a doubt the world leader event in superyachting.

Taking place each year in the month of September, it forms the pinnacle of the yachting calendar, hosted in the iconic Port Hercules against the glamorous backdrop of Monaco.

Every year, the world’s most respected shipyards display 120 extraordinary one-off superyachts, of which 40 new launches are annually unveiled in a worldwide debut. Across four days, yacht owners, future purchasers or charterers, and key decision-makers in the yachting

16

and luxury industries attend MYS to participate in one of the most influential business networks on the planet.

On docks, MYS curates a selection of 580 leading companies in the industry: from the most reputable superyacht builders and nautical suppliers, top yacht designers, luxury manufactures and the best brokerage houses to the most sought-after tenders and water toys, prestige cars, helicopter and private jet manufacturers. Organised by Informa, it benefits from the recognition and the support of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, and is dedicated to

the high-end social elite interested in chartering or purchasing a superyacht or any products and services of the superyacht lifestyle industry.

This year marked the 28th edition, as well as a show with significant less footfall (down two per cent on 2017) following a concerted effort by Informa to opt for quality over quantity with visitor distribution, and entice the new, younger buyers and charterers. Now occupying almost the whole of Port Hercules and with a more varied range of items on display, MYS has also become more homogeneous: the division of the

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

layout into thematic zones made for more fluid movements around the quays and tents, allowing visitors to concentrate on their own sectors of interest.

“We work hand in hand with our exhibitors to offer the most prestigious superyachting event to the new generation of customers,” says Gaëlle Tallarida, general manager of MYS. “We have a dual aim: offer our visitors an entertaining and instructive plunge into the world of superyachting while serving the industry. An order for a new yacht project benefits all the sectors of activity represented in the show. Our responsibility is to encourage encounters between final clients and the best players in the market, whatever the profile of the visitors or exhibitors may be.”

WITH 42 NEW BUILDS PRESENT, THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE SUPERYACHTS AT 2018 MYS WAS €3 BILLION

YACHTS ON DISPLAY VIP guests, major trend-setters in yachting, luxury partners and no less than 580 exhibitors were all in attendance, but of course the real star of the show were 121 of the world’s most impressive superyachts. At this year’s edition the yachts in attendance were on average slightly larger than those from the previous three years, with an average length of 51.5m for the motor yachts compared to a previous average length of 49.5m. The sailing yachts were also larger, measuring 45.6m versus 43.8m. So too, the average volume was up by 15 per cent, soaring from a respectable 623GT to an average of 714GT in 2018. And the pattern continues with regards to the value of yachts on display, which has increased to EUR 27 million this year, compared to an average of EUR 25.9 million.

With 42 new builds present, the total value of the superyachts at 2018 MYS was €3 billion, but when it comes to an aesthetic appreciation, then beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or the owner, or in this case, the judges. The Show’s

MONACO YACHT SHOW 2018 I YACHT SHOWS

VIP visitor programme, the Sapphire Experience, and the Monaco Yacht Summit have over the past three years created real enthusiasm among potential buyers and charterers whose attendance serves as an initial introduction to the superyachting world. An estimated 150 VIP visitors, mostly from the USA or Eastern Europe, were directly introduced by the show’s organisers to brokers and builders, with individual visits to several yachts for each one of them, and the Monaco Yacht Summit - a confidential tailormade event staged on the eve of the Show - brought together 35 participants and a panel of industry experts to discuss the various subjects linked with different sectors of yachting in the interest of the final client. This initiative was welcomed by industry and participants alike as it helps to educate the future owners who are more and more involved and who will shape the future of superyachting.

But it was the Inaugural Gala of the Monaco Yacht Show, during which the

5th MYS Superyacht Awards were presented to three yachts, that all eyes were on. With four coveted awards up for grabs, three vessels caught the judges’ eyes, and those were DAR from the Dutch Oceanco shipyard, which scooped Best Exterior Design, and

Finest New Superyacht in 2018. Illusion Plus, the largest yacht to come out of Asia at 88.5m and built by Pride Mega Yachts picked up Best Interior Design, while Italian yard Tankoa Yacht’s Solo scooped the RINA Awards for the Most Eco-Friendly Yacht in the Show.

YACHT SHOWS I MONACO YACHT SHOW 2018 STATS AND FACTS For the remaining yachts that didn’t win awards, there were informal titles and popular statistics to pick up. Lürssen’s Kismet, for example, launched in 2014 and not new to the show, but the largest motor yacht in attendance at 92m in length. The largest sailing yacht went to Perini Navi’s Sybaris at 70m. The largest ‘new’ motor yacht – therefore first time in attendance - was Oceanco’s 90m DAR, while the largest ‘new’ sailing yacht was All About U, built by Ada Boat Yard and measuring 50m.

In addition to yachts, there was more glamour on display than previous years too. Reflecting the show’s development strategy launched five years ago to deliberately target a new superyacht clientele, the recent creations of the Car Deck and Tenders & Toys areas, helped to ensure MYS remains a proactive player in the development of the industry.

High-end water toys have always been aside the large yachts on display, but the extended new zone, introduced to the superyacht industry just last year and located on Quai Antoine Ier, now offers a complete superyacht lifestyle environment in ultra-luxury spot. And why? Because tenders and toys are a key element of superb holidays on board a superyacht.

“I strongly disagree with the industry that looks at a tender only as a technical part of a superyacht”, comments Carlo Nuvolari of the renowned Venetian design studio Nuvolari Lenard. “Yachts

get bigger and many of them can’t fit in harbours and have to stay outside far away in the sea at anchor. In this case, a stylish custom-made tender with the same family feeling as the main boat is the perfect way for an owner to show off.

The focus shifted on great tenders around 10 years ago and it keeps growing. That is why tenders are crucial now.”

Even more, tenders are lifestyle changers. They help reach secluded harbours thanks to the shallow draft, and are a vital mode of transport from the superyacht to the port and back with speed and in style. Let’s not forget, as well, they mirror the strong personality of the owner, and give younger clientele a chance to enter the much-desired superyacht niche.

Among the toys presented were innovative paddle-boards, private submarines, helicopters, an electric surfboard, and the very first autonomous diving drone. The cost of some custom tenders can reach five million Euro, while the estimated cumulative size of this business is over a couple of billions of Euro a year.

A NEW VISION The exhibition extends over almost the whole of Port Hercules and this year benefitted from the restructuring by the Principality of Monaco of Quai des États-Unis, giving priority to the presence of naval architects, shipyards and brokers on the quays right next to their yachts on display in the water.

Future owners, accompanied by their captains or representatives, are more and more closely involved in the building of their yachts and visit the exhibition tents to source the latest in hi-tech equipment (Darse Sud) or the objects and furnishings presented by prestige luxury goods firms and craftsmen (Parvis Piscine).

A key example of yachts that contain a high degree of onboard craftsmanship is double award-winning 90m DAR (formerly Prince Shark) from Oceanco which was launched in early summer of 2018. The yacht's distinctive design and technological advances bear Oceanco’s

DAR features a superstructure completely finished in reflective glass. From the interior, the glass yields panoramic floor-to-ceiling views aft, port and starboard. Her design was conceived to maximise opportunities for outdoor living and to have direct contact with the marine environment.

Also making a debut at MYS was Abeking and Rasmussen’s 74.5m Elandess, which was launched earlier in 2018. Renowned for its builds on the larger side of the superyacht realm, the German yard has once again proved its pedigree with Elandess. With a brief set out to bring modernity and spaciousness for the ultimate lounging landscape, Elandess’ length allowed the design studio Eidsgaard to experiment with communal spaces and create an array of entertaining areas. From the subwaterline and aptly named ‘Neptune’ lounge, to the eight-metre swimming pool on the expansive sundeck, the yacht’s sporty angles and contemporary appeal has opened up her interior to make a dream into a reality.

There is no other setting or venue on Earth that rivals the glitz and glamour of the Monaco Yacht Show; and event where vessels of unsurpassed engineering, performance and beauty are showcased at their very best.

Buying in to the Lürssen Lifestyle “To those who have never owned a yacht, but who have the means, you don’t know what you are missing,” says John Risley.

It’s a decisive statement from someone who certainly speaks from experience: Risley is the ex-owner of the 63-metre Polar Star and the 75-metre Northern Star, now called Bella Vita, both highly capable superyachts built by the family-owned German yard Lürssen. But what does owning a Lürssen entail, and what is it about the superyacht lifestyle that attracts such a wide variety of individuals?

Privacy is a crucial factor in making a yacht feel like a home away from home – rather than a hotel – a place where you can relax and let your guard down with friends and family.

“A luxury hotel is a commercial establishment. A yacht is a home and a place to welcome and entertain family and friends. The two don't compare,” says Risley. By its very nature, a yacht affords an isolation from the outside world, something increasingly rare in this

Shahid Khan is a well-known businessman and sports club owner, but in the superyacht industry he is also known for being a repeat Lürssen owner, and currently owning one of the most talked-about yachts since her launch in 2015, Kismet. “I wanted to own my own yacht because it’s an expression of freedom and adventure that cannot be equalled, and the experience you get is one you can share with family, friends and business associates,” he says. “One of my favourite parts of being on board is knowing that anything is possible, whether it’s a beautiful journey with loved ones or a celebration with hundreds of friends, old and new.”

Lürssen is a well-known name in the superyacht industry, having built some of the most famous yachts over the years, and, recently, many of the largest.

The pedigree of a shipyard is certainly a top consideration for many would-be buyers.

Kismet’s 95.2 metres make her one of the largest superyachts in the global fleet today, but the German yard can also lay claim to some even more impressive figures, such as building Azzam, at 180-metres the largest superyacht by length in the world, and Dilbar, 156-metres, the largest by total interior volume, at 15,917 gross tonnes. However, size isn’t everything, and the yard builds yachts from 50-metres in length.

Our times aboard Lady Kathryn V are the best times of our lives, especially when family and friends join us.”

Positive feedback about building a custom yacht is not hard to come by, but it can still be a long and sometimes daunting process, which is where choosing the right shipyard to build the right yacht comes in to play.

I want to do business with people who take pride in what they do, who have a long attachment to the business, so it's not just a business, it's a passion and a source of great satisfaction.”

In terms of useful advice for anyone thinking of building a superyacht, Khan’s suggestions are succinct: “I am biased, but I have been yachting for almost two decades, so I feel I have an educated viewpoint on this. The first thing you do is start with the best. That’s Lürssen.”

Like a number of owners before him, Khan has once again put his trust in the family-owned business and built more than one yacht with the German yard, the current Kismet replacing a smaller yacht launched a few years ago.

This has to be one of the main draws of yachting: the ability to see so many new places. “I have many ‘favourite places’, so I cannot choose which I prefer,” says Khan. “The way I look at it, cruising to any destination on Kismet is special. Wherever we end up, it’s my favourite place in the world at that time.” And when it comes to onboard spaces, the choice is equally difficult. “The great thing about Kismet is that Lürssen made it possible to have multiple favourite places on board,

depending on the environment, guests or event. If I were alone, I’d say it’s the eagle’s nest on the very top deck. When we have a party or 300-plus guests, then it’s the main saloon with the two-story lounge videos. However with family, it’s the bridge deck aft with the open air, beach deck and outdoor cinema.”

For the owner of Lady Kathryn V, the bridge deck is also a preferred spot to relax in. “We love the bridge deck salon and bar with its 180 degree floor to ceiling views. This is one of the best parts of owning a yacht: the everchanging view. And of course the relaxation and privacy.”

Owning a superyacht is certainly luxurious, but that isn’t just down to the first class service or the inherent privacy; there is also the luxury of choice in how to spend your time. Whether relaxing in the world’s hotspots or travelling to the remotest points around the globe, spontaneity is your friend if you so choose, as is deciding to wake up in a new place every day. “Being on a yacht is adventurous and truly dazzles all of your senses,” says Khan. Owning a superyacht truly is an infinitely rewarding experience for those who value time with friends and family away from the eyes of the world.

he most sophisticated buyers dream of a mega-yacht, which will harmoniously combine an ideal design with practicality, functionality and an impeccable technical performance. Such a perfect result can be achieved only if you give careful attention to every detail. The validity of this statement is fully proved in the mega-yacht PHOENIX 2, which was designed by the famous yacht designer Andrew Winch. His authority is indisputable when it is necessary to create something really special.

There is absolutely everything on this luxury ship, and even more to be considered a full-fledged house afloat.

6 guest rooms and 13 cabins for 28 crewmembers meet the highest standards of comfort and functionality. The master's cabin is made in the style of the New York Duplex SEA TRIAL â„–12 l spring 2019

World-famous designers implemented the project. Espen Oeino emphasized the elegance of the exterior, giving it harmonious proportions and smooth lines. Aileen Rodriguez has made her mastery in creating an atmosphere of exceptional luxury, exquisitely combines the theme of the classics with modern fashion trends.

SOLANDGE is not just a first-class vessel, but also a work of art, in which all the details are taken into account.

The most expensive materials were used for finishing the mega-yacht: more than 30 kinds of exotic wood for the floor and about 50 samples of natural stone for finishing the bathrooms. An elegant mosaic, a Lalique glass, a marble and an onyx of all light colors with highlights, an ebonite, an olive, a gilding, an exquisite chasing, a Czech glass — every centimeter of the yacht strikes with luxury that knows no boundaries.

The huge interior spaces of SOLANDGE and 6 functional decks create unlimited possibilities for a variety of recreation and entertainment activity on board.

he ideological inspirer of the 75-meter yacht BELLA VITA was guided by a different philosophy in its design. In this ice-class vessel, the key emphasis is on the possibility of long journeys in both hemispheres, including areas with cold climates, as well as cruises to the most inaccessible corners of the world.

BELLA VITA was built in 2009 at the Lürssen shipyard, taking into account the highest technical standards and range, which gave the ship a hardy character. The fundamental knowledge and experience of Captain Craig Franks, who close supervise the whole process of construction, have become an invaluable

36

tool for achieving such an irreproachable result.

An important feature of BELLA VITA is the first-class design and innovative equipment, which guarantees the highest level of comfort for guests and crewmembers during the cruise. The interior of the yacht, designed by the famous designer Pauline Nunns, is made in the style of a large country house.

Moreover, the sea architect Espen Oeino invested all his skills in creating a magnificent and bold exterior. The salon of the yacht differs unconventional, but at the same time very ergonomic layout. Entering it from the stern, guests first come to the dining room, and only

then into the lounge zone. The owner's bedroom, perhaps, could break all records by combining all sorts of tools to create a calming atmosphere. Large windows, a huge bed, cozy armchairs with poufs for feet, a charming breakfast corner, a round painted table, retro chairs — all these elements not only please the eyes, but also make the sea voyage extraordinarily comfortable.

The decorators tried to finish the yacht, having executed its facing in the cream panels and making important accents on the elegant mural.

BELLA VITA is glad to welcome 12 guests on 6 spacious decks, giving all conditions for recreation and

The unique BELLA VITA’s building, spacious storerooms for supplies and tanks for drinking water make possibility to conquer all the oceans of the planet with a minimum of stops.

owever, if you have not yet discovered the spirit of adventure in yourself, and such a yacht has not awakened in your imagination the image of Christopher Columbus, it makes sense to take care of a measured journey in an atmosphere of grandeur and harmony. The LADY KATHRYN V yacht, which was designed with due regard for the prospective wishes of any guest, can be used for it.

LADY KATHRYN V boldly changed the rules of the game in its class, clearly showing how a truly luxurious yacht should look. A 61-meter vessel was launched in 2011 at the Lürssen shipyard.

You will have everything you need for

unhurried walks, romantic conversations, active pastime or solving business issues with the greatest possible comfort on spacious and carefully designed decks.

To the services of 12 guests, there are 6 elegant cabins, spacious dining areas and a recreation area. Sundek offers a large space for sunbathing or relaxation in the shade, which makes it a real sunny paradise with a stunning view of the sea.

And you can also enjoy a cool cocktail, admiring the light of the setting sun on the owner's private terrace.

All fans of movies, TV shows and music will appreciate the possibilities of a state-of-the-art movie theater with an impressive media system. For

guests, who prefer active recreation and water entertainment, aboard the yacht, there are many ways to spend time brightly and vigorously. In a spacious tender garage, there are two kayaks, two seabobs, two water motorcycles, surfing equipment, water skis, wakeboards and two 23-foot tenders. Do you want to explore the depths of the sea? There is a complete diving unit with a compressor at your disposal. For those who seek to maintain themselves in perfect physical form, there is a fully equipped gym on board.

After such a dynamic training, you will necessarily want to plunge into the atmosphere of bliss and peace. For this,

the convenient jacuzzi is very convenient. If you need to address business issues, there is a comfortable office, which will allow you to concentrate and make the right decisions.

The office has 24-hour internet, satellite TV, telephone lines GSM and VoIP, so you will always stay connected.

LADY KATHRYN V is an elegant, practical and reliable yacht that boasts an ideal balance of driving performance. Thanks to the zero speed stabilizers, guests will always feel comfortable regardless of whether the ship is moving or at anchor.

Anyone, who has already been on board this unique yacht, could confidently say now he saw everything. That is why LADY KATHRYN V deservedly considered one of the best yachts available for charter.

t is hardly necessary to doubt that if the fantasy of designers starts flight, nothing will stop it. As an indisputable proof, we can safely cite as an example the mega-yacht BELLA, which without modesty can be called unique.

What is its singularity? First, it is an effective spatial solution and a special concept of planning, which allowed creating an incredible level of comfort at 45 meters. Rational application was found every meter of the yacht area, in which everything is carefully thought out.

The interior of BELLA is made in classical style. An effective combination of perfect architectural forms, modern

Thanks to large windows, high ceilings and ergonomic placement of all elements, the cabins are flooded with soft and enveloping sunlight.

On BELLA, there is a spacious garage for a 23-foot tender. For the fans of outdoor activities during the trip, there is enough space for storing water toys.

Guests of the yacht will certainly love the time spent in a comfortable sauna, and fans of water procedures will appreciate a massive bathing platform.

Such a vessel is a worthy example of a harmonious combination of an elegance, a strength and a high technology, which allows you to fully enjoy all the delights of sea voyage. A romance, an adventure, a thirst for discovery or an anticipation of new emotions — now all this can be expressed in one word: BELLA.

NORTH I INTRODUCTION

NORTH THERE HAS BEEN A RAFT OF REVOLUTIONARY LAUNCHES FROM NORTHERN SHIPYARDS OF LATE – FAST DISPLACEMENT HULLS, LONGER LENGTHS, HYBRID PROPULSIONS, THE FIRST PYC YACHT – AND BOTH THE DUTCH AND GERMAN YARDS HAVE TRULY SET THEMSELVES APART FROM THE COMPETITION IN TERMS OF ADVANCED NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING. SERGE CHERNETSKY, PUBLISHER OF SEA TRIAL MAGAZINE, SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON THE CURRENT GLOBAL TRENDS IN YACHTING BASED ON HIS WORKING EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BROKERAGE COMPANY IN THE WORLD, AS WELL AS WITH LEADING SHIPYARDS IN BOTH NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN EUROPE.

JZ: So, Serge, congratulations on successfully producing the 10th anniversary edition of SEA TRIAL. Can you expand on how you came to select the North Vs South theme for this milestone issue, and where the idea first came from?

SC: I have witnessed over the past 10 years gradual development, which has now become apparent. It is no secret that there is a kind of balance, a counterweight if you like, between the north and south.

Considering we produce SEA TRIAL first and foremost for our clients and for those who buy yachts, we refrain from giving preferential treatment to any shipyard. We will never praise something that doesn’t warrant it.

For this reason, we decided to prepare a global review for the superyacht industry in 2018. Of course, an analytical assessment can be made by any international title that has access to statistics (which, coincidentally, can easily be bought), but it is our mission to be different.

Our aim is to be a quality travel guide for our clients, arming them with the right information in order to make the best decision for them. We would like our readers, for example, to be aware of all that happens when visiting the Monaco Yacht Show. We don’t want them to be manipulated by unprofessional and sometimes random opinions. Our task is to keep them free from propaganda, deception and prejudice. We want to liberate our clients from any influence or bias that that is founded upon a purely commercial agenda.

JZ: So, who do you give your vote to? North or South?

SC: Northern Europe has its own significant advantages. We decided to best explain them by using the latest news and projects from various shipyards in Germany and Holland. Obviously, there are many shipyards in this region, but each one has similar individual features, such as their accuracy of terms, irreproachable management and highest build quality.

On the other hand, the south of Europe, Italy, is a brand in itself. "Made in Italy" is recognised as a real signature throughout the world today. The sense of style and aesthetics, touching upon their Mediterranean heritage, is the calling card of the southern shipyards. It is what yacht owners have come to know and expect. But we will address this in the second part of the review.

In addition, we will focus on functionality for the customer. It goes without saying that we are focusing on companies whose credibility is beyond doubt, and we decided to delve deeper to understand how they acquired such a position on the market.

42

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

JZ: You mentioned your mission is to be different...what exactly does that entail?

SC: I said earlier that we are aiming to make our readers free from common yet false statements, such as “the price of a boat is calculated using the formula of 1 metre = £1 million."

Nowadays, a striking example of one of the most common misconceptions on the market is linking the project price to gross tonnage.... I regard that as being quite manipulative: with a 30-metre projects, such an assessment is feasible, but in the 50m-plus category it is no longer applicable, although it certainly sounds like expert opinion…

JZ: It is clear to see how your considerable experience as a key player in the yachting sector has led you to have an overarching understanding of the market, and you are a familiar figure at all the yachting events of note. How does this influence the content in SEA TRIAL? How, in particular, has it been incorporated in your anniversary issue?

SC: The influence is global. Even our mission – to be a quality guidebook for our readers – is a reflection of best practice in the yachting sector. I haven’t always succeeded. I once made a mistake with my choice of a partner, which nearly led to the collapse of a new build project. However, in general, I must say I am very fortunate: I work with the best of the best in the industry, for which I am very grateful.

Undoubtedly, Northern Europe has its fair share of shipbuilding advantages, and we decided with this anniversary issue to provide our readers with an objective overview of a group of leading shipyards. There are, of course, more of them, but we chose a range of shipyards that unite similar individual characteristics. We decided to investigate how they achieved such positions on the market.

JZ: The trend in recent years, particularly with the Dutch and German shipyards, has been to keep on building bigger yachts, but the demands of yacht owners are changing now, don’t you think, and it is not always the biggest yacht that piques their interest?

SC: Historically, it has been the yards that drive the innovation, and while on an engineering level this is still the case, it is true to say that the face of ownership is changing. Yards such as Lürssen, Oceanco and Feadship are all heavy hitters when it comes to delivering huge, complex yachts. But over this year, there has been a definite about turn in the type of owner that they are now targeting, and the 70m-plus market is firmly in their sights. Therefore, Lürssen is ready to consider projects from 55 meters, and Oceanco together with Lateral Marketing is aspiring to a whole new method of critical rethinking regarding the entire construction process, regardless of dimensions.

However, smaller yards, such as Heesen Yachts and AMELS, which have to date dominated in the 50m-plus market will, in my opinion, not be too worried about this new interest from their larger competitors, mainly due to the success they have both witnessed in the build of semi-custom platforms.

HISWA: Riding the Crest of a Wave

THE HISWA HOLLAND YACHTING GROUP REPRESENTS THE WORLD’S LEADING COMPANIES IN THE DUTCH SUPERYACHT INDUSTRY. ITS MISSION IS TO ‘FOSTER INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND STRENGTHEN THE COMPETITIVE POSITION OF THE DUTCH YACHTING INDUSTRY ON THE WORLD MARKET BY UNITING A GROUP OF CAREFULLY SELECTED COMPANIES BASED IN THE NETHERLANDS’, AND IN 2018, IT MORE THAN ACHIEVED BY PROPELLING AMSTERDAM FORWARD AS A STRONG CONTENDER WITHIN TOP EUROPEAN YACHTING DESTINATIONS

“T

HE APPEAL of Amsterdam as a destination for superyachts – both in its own right and as a port of call en route to Scandinavia and beyond – is increasingly on the radar of owners and captains,” says Jeroen Sirag, export director of the HISWA Holland Yachting Group. “The HISWA Holland Yachting Group is working closely with the Port of Amsterdam and other parties to bring even more attention to the attractions of the Dutch capital and encourage even more calls by highquality visitors.”

At the heart of Amsterdam’s yachting appeal is the new eco-friendly Feadship yard, which is scheduled to open its doors in May 2019 in a location close to the city centre. As part of the facility’s sustainable construction and operation, the entire yard – Feadship’s fourth in the

44

Netherlands – will use district heating for the floor heating in the main hall, the spray cabins and drying areas, the workshops and the offices. This form of city heating has become very popular in eco-conscious cities like Amsterdam because it allows for the distribution of both renewable and surplus heat. In addition, some 2,262 solar panels will cover the main building roof, and are estimated to generate 550,000 kWh of energy annually.

SHOW OF STRENGTH From the months of September to November, the yachting fraternity comes together regularly by way of show season. Kicked off by the Cannes Yachting Festival, which took place from 11 to 16 September, the HISWA Holland Yachting Group showcased the recently launched Brigadoon from Moonen and the new flagship Wajer 55. Contest SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

Yachts, VBH and Kuiper Dutch Marine Panels were also well represented.

Moonen Yachts recently announced the return of 42m motor yacht Sofia to the yard’s facilities in Groot-Ammers in the south of the Netherlands. Following a beautiful summer cruising in the Mediterranean, Sofia is currently undergoing refit works and an extensive exterior paint job and is scheduled to hit the water again in March 2019.

Built by Moonen and delivered to her owners in 2013, MY Sofia features exterior design from René van der Velden Yacht Design and interior design by Art Line. She has enjoyed several years of intensive cruising since delivery, a testament to the oceangoing, Dutch quality at the heart of the Moonen brand.

With her owners wishing to list her for sale upon completion of the works, she is scheduled for relaunch in March 2019.

“We are very pleased to welcome Sofia back home to Moonen for her refit works, and we’re looking forward to assisting the owners with bringing her to the market once works are complete,” says Moonen Yachts CEO, Johan Dubbelman. “At our facilities in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Groot-Ammers we can dock up to four yachts ranging from 30 to 50 metres simultaneously, so we’re well equipped to deliver the best service possible to our clients.”

In addition to the refit of MY Sofia, the team in Groot-Ammers is currently being kept busy with the new build of a 36m sister ship to MY Brigadoon, the first vessel in the Martinique line that was launched last June. Delivery is scheduled for spring 2020.

MONACO IN MOTION Only a matter of weeks after Cannes at the exclusive Monaco Yacht Show – the key event on the yachting calendar – a new Dutch pavilion located at the heart of the action ensured HISWA members had a fleet of top superyachts on display, while the pavilion was the show hub for Cramm, DGI Sypack, Port of Amsterdam, Hydromar, Naiad Dynamics, Rondal and VBH. The 59th edition of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show was all about networking, enabled by HISWA Holland Yachting Group’s organised Holland Get Connected Event. Together with the organisers of the METSTRADE Show, various members of

the HISWA Holland Yachting Group were present with their own stand, including Royal Huisman, Oceanco, Amels, Feadship, Heesen Yachts, Maxwell Marine and Naiad Dynamics. With a roster of such renowned shipyards all accumulated on Dutch soil, it’s clear to see how The Netherlands’ vision for a ‘superyacht cluster’ is far from fanciful.

“At the heart of the success of both the Dutch superyacht sector and the HISWA Holland Yachting Group is the way its leading yards and supply companies are prepared to invest time and money in the collective future of their industry,” says Sirag. “The goal to develop a superyacht cluster in Amsterdam is a superb example of this visionary approach.”

AWARDS AND GROWTH The Dutch superyacht industry has been making waves of late, grabbing headlines in the media, but for all the right reasons. Dutch yachts continue to win many major awards. The Netherlands is also selling more superyachts at a higher total value, while also steadily increasing its market share over the past four years.

Twenty-one deliveries over 30m were made in 2017 by 10 different yards. These superyachts had a total value of €1.19 billion, which translates into an average price of €57 million per superyacht (an increase of almost 10 per cent). It is also the highest total value recorded to date.

“As an association, our strategy is not primarily based on how many members we have, but on the quality of their products and their commitment to promoting the Dutch superyacht sector abroad,” says Sirag. “We are an exclusive club of leader firms who make a genuine difference in our industry. Our ‘Think Yachts, Think Holland’ campaign has struck a chord among superyacht owners across the seven seas, while our wide range of shared export activities and trade missions offer a strong and unified face to the outside world.”

THE METSTRADE SHOW IN AMSTERDAM IS THE NUMBER ONE B2B PLATFORM FOR LEISURE MARINE PRODUCTS, BUT IT IS ALSO THE IDEAL PLACE TO MEET DISTRIBUTORS, DEALERS, RETAILERS, WHOLESALERS AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM ACROSS THE BOAT BUILDING, REPAIR AND DESIGN SECTORS IN AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT WITH VISITORS FROM OVER 90 COUNTRIES product stories, HISWA Holland Yachting Group hosted a SuperYacht Bar. A key meeting place for professionals forming the centre of the Holland Pavilion area, it also provided the perfect opportunity for HISWA to reveal its ambitious plans to increase the profile of Amsterdam as a superyacht hub.

Taking place in the RAI Amsterdam convention centre with a dedicated SuperYacht Pavilion spanning three halls, a dedicated networking hub called the Shipyard, and a record 313 exhibitors METSTRADE welcomed some 1500 participants and around 25,000 visitors.

It proved to be the perfect event for the HISWA Holland Yachting Group (which celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 2019) and ten of its leading members to flex their yachting muscle.

Huisfit was one such exhibiting member, and a shining example of Holland’s success. The team of Royal Huisman’s dedicated department for refit, repair and renewal announced in October 2018 that sailing yachts 47.65m Wisp, 17m Yonder and 33m Foftein signed up for various commissions. These new projects will be undertaken as part of the seven refits in total benefitting from

Huisfit’s expertise during the coming winter season.

And when it comes to Royal Huisman’s new builds, few feature such rare beauty, combining classic hull lines with a powerful modern rig and a clean, as sailing yacht Aquarius. With naval architecture

by Dykstra Naval Architects and interior design from Mark Whiteley Design this magnificent 56m ketch was realised by Royal Huisman together with Rondal and an outstanding team of rig specialists.

Exceptional co-operation from the highly talented client team ensured a harmonious build and a decidedly successful outcome.

The Joy of Feadship RENOWNED FOR PURE CUSTOM YACHTS THAT PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF DESIGN, AND WITH EXPANSION IN THE OFFING, DUTCH YARD FEADSHIP HAS ITS SIGHTS SET AT THE TOP

D

UTCH SHIPYARD Feadship is renowned for its pure custom motor yachts. Vessels such as 74m Sherpa, which underwent sea trials in July 2018, are what the industry has come to expect. Created in close cooperation with RWD for a highly experienced yachtsman who is a repeat client for Feadship, Sherpa’s explorer-like exterior profile is accentuated by an unfaired hull, which leaves the plate work and welding exposed. At the same time, Sherpa’s exterior still features a wealth of highend details, including lots of teak, polished stainless steel and meticulously dressed aluminium and steel elements.

The Feadship brand continues to steadily gain traction, as well as market share. In the 60 to 80m category, it now accounts for 12 per cent market share, and a whopping 22 per cent within the 80 to 100m category. Its biggest competitor is German shipyard Lürssen, but interestingly, neither yard is looking to

48

remain solely in the 100m+ market.

Unsurprisingly, both yards have identified that key activity within the superyacht industry is occurring in the smaller categories. Concentrating their efforts on the mid-range builds is the smart and savvy thing to do at present.

That’s not to say, of course, that Feadships will now become small. In June 2018, the Dutch yard launched its largest yacht to date in Makkum, 110m superyacht Anna, designed by Michael Leach. Anna will be the largest yacht ever built by Feadship and the second largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands, after the 110.1m Oceanco, Jubilee. Then in July 2018, it followed up with the unveiling of 87m Lonian.

“The yachts are getting bigger and we’re following that trend,” says JanBart Verkuyl, CEO of Feadship Royal Van Lent. “We foresee ourselves building up to 140m yachts, for which we opened a facility that will enable us to build yachts up to 160m. If someone asked us if we

would like to build a 160m yacht tomorrow, however, it would be too early; we want to grow step-by-step into the larger sizes, with experience whilst assuring our famous Feadship quality.”

For Feadship, at least, mid-range equates to around the 70m market, but what’s driving this more modest business model? According to Verkuyl, it comes down to a number of different factors.

Firstly, the shape of the industry in general is changing. The market has somewhat consolidated in recent years, with established yards such as Blohm+Voss, ISA, Trinity, Christensen and Mondomarine all no longer in the business of new builds. This in turn has meant yards like Feadship are picking up the shortfall, and their order books remain steadily healthy, but as a result, they are growing faster than superyacht ownership is. Concentrating efforts on chasing the biggest yacht builds is not only an unsustainable business model, it also disregards the changing face of

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

ownership, says Verkuyl. “The real question is what is happening with the new generation of wealthy people?” he says. “Are they still interested in owning such a big yacht? I think the real potential is when you look at new markets. Asia, for instance, already has more billionaires than the US but their number of yacht owners is very low. So, there is still a lot of work to be done.”

For Feadship, at least, dwindling numbers of yacht owners is not a problem that they need to worry about for now. “We have an enormous amount of yachts in build, from small ones starting from 50m to bigger ones, and each of these projects is equally dear to us. A client that wants to build a 50m yacht is just as valuable to us as the 100m client.

“We believe in gradually learning and stepping up to something that we still feel at ease with, and then maybe we’ll do something bigger,” he adds. “You need the infrastructure to be able to

deliver something that we say is a Feadship.”

As well as length, Feadship is interested in broadening its capabilities.

The new facility in Amsterdam, which is due to open in 2019, will bolster its refit model, as well as new build construction.

“We receive more and more clients who ask us to look after their babies,” says Verkuyl. “For a lot of our clients, they see real added value in bringing their yacht back to Feadship, to maintain Feadship quality and standards. And this facility will really help us to achieve that.”

Located close to the centre of Amsterdam, the new facility will lift some of the size constraints that currently face Feadship. Its signature streamline hulls will remain a mainstay of the yard’s DNA, but it will certainly have more design options available to it, such as an in-house designed 80m+ yacht, which will be the first boat to be built at the Amsterdam facility, and is said to have “a timeless Feadship design”, as well as a 70m yacht by RWD Design. Verkuyl may argue that the

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

FEADSHIP I NORTH

growth curve is gradual, but it’s clear that the yard is future proofing.

In terms of yachts currently under construction, it has two yachts lined up for a 2019 delivery: A 93m Michael Leach Design, with an aggressive and masculine aesthetic; and a 77m, which features stunning floor-to-ceiling glass.

In addition, a 94m will be arriving at the shipyard once the 93m has left, and features an almost entirely glass superstructure, with incredible views from all around, and Project 819, with a design by Harrison Eidsgaard, is slated for delivery in 2021.

Working with Feadship’s in-house design Studio De Voogt, as well as with different designers, Feadship’s signature is a standout custom design, and few yachts exemplify this better than 70m Joy, built at the facility in Kaag, and delivered in 2016. Built for the yard’s youngest ever client, the owner of Joy had a very clear idea of what he wanted, that is, a design that would create a real sense of contentment and comfort, without making the boat feel like every other yacht and avoiding the clichéd details that would date in years to come.

“My choice of Feadship was very simple, I had seen and experienced a number of their yachts and was always very impressed with their craftsmanship and interior detailing, beyond that their reputation spoke volumes,” commented

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

70m JOY from Feadship

THE FEADSHIP BRAND CONTINUES TO STEADILY GAIN TRACTION, AS WELL AS MARKET SHARE. IN THE 60 TO 80M CATEGORY, IT NOW ACCOUNTS FOR 12 PER CENT MARKET SHARE, AND A WHOPPING 22 PER CENT WITHIN THE 80 TO 100M CATEGORY the owner in an interview with Boat International in 2016. “Such a legacy and shipyard pride gave me great comfort that they would only build me and my family a yacht of exceptional quality and never compromise on a single detail.”

Exterior designed by Bannenberg & Rowell Design, the interior was created

by Studio Indigo. The volume of Joy in proportion to her length is low (1,100 GT to 70m in length), so the challenge was to increase the perception of space in the interior. This was made easier by the expansive perimeter decks on the principal levels which create a strong sense of indoor-outdoor space. The staircase and elevator is the hub of the boat and provides a central reference point for guests’ orientation, while the continuity of design, craftsmanship, materials and furniture throughout the boat give it a structure and cohesion which increases the perception of space, whilst still contributing to each area’s own distinct character.

“So much of this yacht is about enjoying the experience of being on a yacht,” said the owner. “I did not want some floating villa with vast voluminous internal spaces compromising the

52

relationship with the ocean and the interior. What we have is generous external deck areas all around the yacht to dine, to relax, to entertain and to play and then we have beautiful, elegant interiors to complement in perfect balance. We did not need to be compromised by some pre-set platform or convention. We designed Joy with our own lifestyle and vision in mind.”

A good example of this is how easily extended Joy’s interior spaces are, just by opening the glass doors leading to the ‘winter gardens’ on the main, owner and bridge decks aft. These air conditioned outdoor-in zones are part and parcel of the fundamental leitmotif of blending exterior and interior spaces. Moreover, every living area has windows looking out onto the wide walkways – making the rooms feel much larger than they are.

The stairway is the tour de force of the yacht’s interior, incorporating a cantilevered timber spiral staircase that wraps around a glass elevator. In collaboration with artists and the clients, we commissioned a stunning sculptural piece of artwork incorporating handcarved bay trees, whilst an églomisé mirror adds opulence and a sense of

spaciousness by reflecting light and space.

“When we were designing Joy, there were certain vital principles that we were determined to achieve to make this yacht work and flow with different groups or situations,” said the owner. “These are elements, such as the owners deck, which is almost like a penthouse so that I can be alone with my family and yet don’t feel lost on a 70m yacht, or the main deck aft with the transom and bomber doors that mean a large group or family can be enjoying the shade or the main deck, the beach club and the sea of the stern but all be connected visually and interact, or indeed the gym on the bridge deck; it may be the best place to work-out anywhere in the world.”

The owner and his family have already enjoyed many months of cruising since they took delivery in August 2016, and it’s clear for a first-time owner, both the yacht and the shipyard has set the benchmark high. Available for sale and charter, with a confirmed 2019 charter itinerary of winter in the Caribbean and summer in the Mediterranean, the opportunity to experience a truly custom Feadship just opened up.

OCEANCO: A New Era

Text by Julia ZALTZMAN 115m TUHURA from Oceanco

COLLECTIVE COLLABORATION IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR DUTCH SHIPYARD OCEANCO, AS IT MOVES INTO A NEW PHASE OF BUILD – THE CO-MAKER ALIGNMENT STRATEGY

T

HERE HAS been a seismic shift in the way Dutch shipyard Oceanco operates of late. As an established builder of large yachts in the Netherlands, it has made its mark on the industry in recent years with a raft of yachting “firsts”, kicked off in 2013 with the launch of EQUANIMITY, the first superyacht built to the Passenger Yacht Code. Then came 86m AQUIJO in 2015, the world’s largest high-performance ketch, followed up in 2017 with two further incredible deliveries: 106.7m BLACK PEARL, the largest DynaRig sailing yacht in the world, and 110.1m JUBILEE, the largest yacht to ever be built in the Netherlands.

54

The roster of deliveries reads like a who’s who of superyachts, and it seems the yard has a taste for large complex projects. In keeping with its company manifesto – “The perfect yacht can only be the perfect yacht when it is the owner’s perfect yacht” – Oceanco has now fully aligned its organisation to keep up its large build momentum, as well as with the demands of its visionary owners. Owners of builds such as 109m Project Bravo.

The client brief for Project Bravo is said to be for a forward-thinking vessel that is sleek and well proportioned; a new Oceanco icon. The evolutionary process that ensued was extensive research and development – and

ultimately an innovative design with a hybrid single-tiered engine room. Given the inherent need for a motor yacht to have an appropriate propulsion system commensurate to its length and volume, Oceanco’s research led to a lighter yacht relative to length, so the weight in relation to length was optimised proportionately. The design effectively entered a “virtuous circle” of reducing power and weight.

More significant for Oceanco, however, is the team signed up to work on Project Bravo. Exterior designed by Nuvolari Lenard and interior styled by Reymond Langton Design, the naval architecture was undertaken by Lateral Naval Architects Ltd – a strategic partnership SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

OCEANCO I NORTH between Oceanco and UK-based BMT Nigel Gee for the formation of a new naval architecture and engineering company.

“Lateral is a joint venture between our two companies that will deliver to the market more than the sum of its parts,” says newly appointed managing director, James Roy, who takes on the role after building the yacht division of BMT over the past 12 years. “We will continue to offer our services to a full spectrum of

stakeholders in the superyacht industry.

With our core competence in naval architecture and engineering, Lateral will remain part of the BMT group and benefit from access to the full breadth of BMT’s diverse capability, whilst at the same time strengthening its own expertise and knowledge through the strategic partnership with Oceanco.”

Lateral will provide high quality naval architecture and engineering services to the industry as well as collaborating with

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

OCEANCO I NORTH the shipyard’s own engineering team and network of co-makers and subcontractors. All of BMT’s work in the large yacht market will be undertaken by Lateral and will build upon the company’s extensive knowledge base and capability in the large yacht market.

On signing the strategic partnership, Oceanco CEO, Marcel Onkenhout, said: “With the ever-greater integration of the Oceanco and BMT teams, the formation of Lateral is a natural step in bringing our companies closer together. Lateral will not only deliver high quality naval architecture and engineering to Oceanco with greater focus but will work with the best across the whole of the superyacht industry to apply expert knowledge and deliver exceptional projects.”

Oceanco first engaged BMT in 2008 to begin development of yachts in the 100m+ category. The intervening years have seen the companies collaborate on all of the above mentioned “yacht firsts”, and the intensely anticipated project Bravo will be the next to launch and will feature several technical innovations developed by the Lateral and Oceanco teams. The key words to highlight in Onkenhout’s quote, however, are “apply expert knowledge”, and that’s because Lateral also neatly exemplifies Oceanco’s additional company initiative – it’s co-working methodology.

During the HISWA press tour of 2018 it became clear that Oceanco is making moves to optimise the way it works within

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

the industry in order to further raise its game, and put pressure on suppliers to raise theirs too. The co-maker alignment strategy is based on the principle of “best value”, which relates to systematically identifying a measurable difference between suppliers’ proposals. The methodology implies that more than just costs are taken into consideration. The driving element is the optimised cooperation and communication between all parties involved in the project, including the owner’s team. Its intention is to reduce both project risks and lead-time while

maintaining the highest possible quality, and providing the owner with maximum flexibility.

Project Bravo is one of the first yachts under construction to benefit from this co-maker strategy, to ensure that the complexities of the build with all of its moving parts are synchronised and orchestrated as smoothly as possible so that owners, owners’ representatives, co-makers, indeed everyone involved in the yacht have the best experience during the build and the best possible result – the owner’s perfect yacht.

57

In order to devise its Best Value Principles (BVP), which form the basis of the co-worker theory, Oceanco sought the expertise of Dean Kashiwagi, a professor at Arizona State University and a specialist in best value procurement.

The idea behind it is to create an ideal environment for collaboration between the shipyard, its suppliers and the owner.

By shifting the responsibility for the project to the contractor, it challenges the conventional ‘controlling’ and ‘directing’ aspects generally associated with the shipyard. This is achieved by creating a structure that treats the contractor as the ‘expert’ and has the shipyard taking on a supporting role. For instance, instead of managing the build of a hull section, Oceanco lets the expert do what they do best and checks in on the progress and quality parameters as agreed ahead of the project.

“An expert is someone who can in very simple terms explain what value they will bring to the project by delivering an easy-to-understand report on how they will successfully complete their part of the build,” says Dirk de Jong, Oceanco’s Commercial Director.

“The system allows you to predict what

58

an expert’s actual cost will be at the end of the day after all the risks and value additions have been studied. Warranties are replaced with common sense.”

Going forward, all of Oceanco’s suppliers – now known as co-makers – will be rated during the tender stage on various criteria including their skill, experience, budgeting and methods, amongst others. Oceanco will then appoint the company or individual who they believe will bring the best value to the project. Once selected, they are then encouraged to work together as a team, meeting several times before a project even commences in order to discuss the entire scope of the project from A to Z, and to identify all the risks and responsibilities. The yard admits that this in effect is creating an extra step in the build timeline, but argues that it results in a far smoother overall process.

De Jong outlines the fact that the selection process itself is often the most challenging part of the entire process, and that even the most seemingly qualified expert might not exactly be the best person for the job.“One company might have a very strong project management team but at the same time

106.7m BLACK PEARL from Oceanco

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

are using outdated technology in their methods, making their profile, which at first seemed very strong, not so convincing anymore compared to someone who continuously updates their systems,” he says. “So, the selection process really comes down to comparing apples with apples and taking every single aspect of an expert’s possible value into consideration.”

Oceanco, together with its new Strategic Purchasing department and a broader future plan named Horizon 2020 (an EU research and innovation programme with nearly €80 billion of funding made available between 2014 to 2020), is committed to this new direction.

“Our co-makers have realised that we are investing a lot of resources into this new way of building yachts, and they have therefore started doing the same. We are not in this for the short run and would like to learn together with these companies to further optimise our strategy”.

The proof will be in the pudding.

Oceanco recently signed three new superyacht projects, one of which is 125m vessel currently under construction, and set to become the largest project of its kind ever undertaken in the Netherlands.

By optimising its build process, Oceanco intends to reduce the risk for all the players involved in their projects, leading to an overall benefit for all. Watch this space.

T

HE IDEA to create a platform for Limited Editions semi-custom series super yachts appeared in 2005 in Amels. This was a real breakthrough not only for the company but also for the industry.

She changed the minds of the clients and competitors about using a standard approach for yacht building. On the standardization, which does not threaten the loss of an individual approach, does not contradict exclusivity, does not entail restrictions in the choice of functionality and finishes. In order to meet the needs of a wide range of customers, Amels has developed several lines of different length.

First Amels super yacht Limited Edition — 52.3-meter Deniki — was launched in 2007. Thus, in 2017, the shipyard celebrates the 10th anniversary of this event.

Over the years, Amels has built about 30 super yachts. The company with each following project developed, pushed the

SEA TRIAL №6 l autumn 2017 SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

boundaries of the possible and thus raised the series to new heights. The decisive merit in the process belongs to the owners, who, having a special look at yachts “from within” and their practical approach, how they can be best used, put ever more complex and interesting tasks for engineers and designers. Those who are willing to accept the challenges.

For Amels the concept of «family» in corporate philosophy is of fundamental importance. The shipyard from the early 90s of the last century belongs to a powerful conglomerate of Damen family. The group includes more than 50 companies and 30 shipyards around the world. It employs nine thousand employees, and the total annual revenue exceeds two billion euros. The owner of Damen and Amels — Commerce Damen, the son of the founder of the corporation Jan Damen. Commer’s children are on the boards of directors and are actively

involved in management. Therefore, when Amels received an order for the construction of the largest super yacht in its history — 83-meter Here Comes The Sun, all the specialists involved in the production, from the workers to the CEO, understood the customers with a half-word.

The owners of the new yacht are two businessmen with large families. They are loyal Amels customers, formerly owned the 65-meter Imagine (now renamed Infinite Shades) from the Limited Editions 212 line. It was also the flagship when launched in 2011. Only six years have passed, and the maximum length of the platform has increased by almost 30%, and the volume of the internal space (gross register tonnage) has doubled! Despite these factors and the obvious complexity of the project, the shipyard, thanks to an efficient business system and a well-established production process, cope with the tasks clearly on time — only two and a half years had passed from the date of laying the keel to the delivery of the yacht to the owners.

«We have a great professional relationship with Amels», says Yevor Nenov, owners’ yacht manager, supervising the build. «Not just with the Amels management but also with everybody, the craftsmen and the subcontractors here. We know each other so well and we work together well, so that’s why we were excited about building the next yacht with the same team. AMELS has a very loyal and dedicated team and it was the same people throughout the build. That makes a big difference and you can see it in the end result. The Owners are delighted».

To work on Here Comes The Sun again, as with Imagine (by the way, both yachts are named after the hits of the legendary Beatles), a star tandem of designers was attracted. The exterior was done by Tim Haywood who is responsible for the exterior of entire Limited Editions series, and

OWNERS, HAVING A SOLID EXPERIENCE IN JOINT TRAVEL, CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE IN A NEW SUPER YACHT. THIS LED TO THE CREATION OF ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE YACHTS IN ITS SIZE the interior was entrusted to the studio Winch Design by Andrew Winch. Agree, a win-win combination. Owners, having accumulated a solid experience in joint travel, clearly understood what they want to see in a new super yacht. Translating ideas to designers and engineers, they gave impetus to the creation of one of the most innovative yachts in its size.

First of all, the owners wanted more space on board — such a floating island.

Hence, such a sharp jump in length — by 18 m in comparison with Imagine. Both Owners are large, tall men who wanted to feel relaxed with plenty of luxury space around them. So the ceiling has been raised to the maximum, which gives the interior a feeling of volume and lightness. The gross tonnage of Here Comes The Sun exceeds 2,800 gross tons. This is 1,000 gross-tons more than the previous shipyard flagship the 74-meter Plvs Vltra and is comparable to the longer but less wide and high mega yachts — the 99-meter

70 62

Madame Gu from Feadship and the 95-meter Kismet from Luerssen. Absolutely no wonder, given that Here Comes The Sun has six decks.

«I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved», says Tim Heywood. — the levels of finish on the boat, the lack of noise, the lack of vibrations. When we cruised up and down the coast, it was if the boat was on railway lines. It was so smooth.

At one point the Captain said we’re doing 15 knots now, and I didn’t even think we were moving yet! It’s just remarkable».

The team at Winch Design has created an exhibition of premium artistry and craftsmanship — a modern beach villa aesthetic with rich natural tones.

Everything on board is custom-made.

«This yacht is very in tune with a certain lifestyle», comments designer Andrew Winch, «with a love of woods, autumn colors, and bronzes, the vineyard. Nothing is shining or glossy. But when you look around, you are always discovering

details of intricate craftsmanship: the touch of open grain patterns and ribbed oak, sculpted textures under foot, spokeshaved curves above you, honed stone and marbles. It’s very much a place to relax. A home».

The family nature of the super yacht and the additional wishes of the owners, aimed at maximizing the functionality of the vessel, naturally found a positive response from Amels design team. As a result, Here Comes The Sun has received a number of unique solutions. A huge beach club with a sauna is equipped with a pair of balconies on the sides and opens at 270 degrees. The pool in the stern of the main deck is «drowned» for a more comfortable entrance and exit of the guests.

In addition, this zone looks more harmonious from an aesthetic point of view.

There are two galleys on board, this is extremely rare. One is on the lower deck — in the case of bad weather. The rest of cases chef is cooking on the bridge deck.

AMELS HERE СOMES THE SUN It is designed in the style of an open restaurant kitchen, with a bar counter, and guests can directly communicate with the chef. In the open dining area located here, there is a giant table for 24 people.

For the owners, there is a separate deck. With a big lounge in aft part. The central part of the deck is given to an

additional cabin and a study (both rooms with balconies). Nearby — a roomy wardrobe and a hall with various art objects exhibited. Finally, in front, there are full beam apartments with a panoramic view.

From here owners have access to the front terrace, which also serves as a helipad. All guest cabins, are located on the

main deck. There are seven of them, including two VIP suites. A cinema is adjacent to the residential area.

It is difficult to imagine a family vacation on a yacht without water toys. They are all in the arsenal of Here Comes The Sun: from water motorcycles and mega tenders to the inflatable hill, which descends from the top of the mountain — the sundeck.

Here Comes The Sun is the first, but certainly not the last, hull in the Amels 272 series Limited Editions line. Demand is great because customers understand that their investment will pay off, they will get a reliable seaworthy yacht with a personalized interior, will have it on time, and all their wishes will be taken into account.

Also, the shipyard has developed its first super yacht with a hybrid engine on the Amels 188 platform. Apart from that Amels is ready for the construction of 90-meter yachts.

AMELS: Family First DEMONSTRATING ITS REACH ACROSS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF THE SUPERYACHT MARKET, AMELS IS PAVING THE WAY FOR YACHTING DOMINANCE IN A FAMILYCENTRIC ARENA

O

PERATING THE largest superyacht facility in the Netherlands, Dutch shipyard AMELS has firmly cemented its position in the market as a leader in its field. Forming part of the family-owned Damen Shipyards Group since 1991, it celebrates its milestone centennial anniversary in 2018 with three new deliveries, all of which showcase the advances it has made in recent years, and its continued determination to excel in larger and more complex projects. The yard currently has no less than 14 new build yachting projects to be delivered between 2018 and 2021, including a 78m full custom Espen Øino-designed yacht (which will be the largest AMELS by volume to date when delivered in 2021), and a further 80m refit project underway.

64

In 2017, AMELS delivered the stunning 83m HERE COMES THE SUN. Not only is it the largest superyacht delivered by the yard to date, it also sports the exterior penmanship of iconic designer Tim Heywood, who is also responsible for sculpting the exteriors of the entire AMELS Limited Editions range. Kommer Damen is the Chairman of Damen Shipyards Group and the visionary behind the AMELS Limited Editions approach, a disruptive innovation that has transformed the top end of superyacht building. Since the first Limited Editions yacht was delivered in 2007, the yard has successfully delivered 33 Limited Editions yachts generating €1.5 billion in sales turnover.

“When we acquired AMELS in 1991, it was an opportunity to grow our portfolio

with yachts,” says Kommer Damen. “We made the decision to apply our Limited Editions approach to yacht building and it has proved to be a decision that not only regenerated AMELS but also paved the way for larger Limited Editions and a return to full custom. Twenty-seven years on we are very proud of what we have achieved and excited about the future. AMELS has become a cornerstone of our family’s long-term entrepreneurial vision.”

Alongside fellow Dutch yard Heesen Yachts, AMELS is one of the few shipyards to truly deliver when it comes to semi-custom platform yachts. Now stretching to six designs between 55 and 83m, the true selling point of the Limited Editions range is the yard’s ability to deliver a sizeable vessel much faster and SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

more cost-effectively than a full custom model. This is neatly exemplified by the AMELS 180 model – the original model in the range, and the world’s most successful 55m superyacht. A staggering 22 AMELS 180s have been delivered to date, the most recent being EJI in 2018, with the next model scheduled for delivery in spring 2019.

The design of the 180 continues to evolve and energise the market, furthered by the full custom interiors selected by their visionary owners. One such example delivered in 2015 is LA FAMILIA, an AMELS 180 featuring a Lambert & Thurnherr interior as appointed by the Owner. The yacht stands out with her gorgeous dark blue paintwork. She has a displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure and boasts a touch-andgo helipad, which is capable of landing a helicopter up to 2000kg. In addition to a luxurious steam room, and a swim platform which provides access to the beach club aft, she boasts a hydraulically-operated Owner's stateroom balcony – a key feature of the 180 design. Powered by twin MTU 16V2000 M70 of 1408hp each, LA FAMILIA is ideally designed for full luxury cruising at 13 knots for up to 11 guests in five staterooms, with 14 crew providing a bespoke level of service for up to a week without port call.

65

55m LA FAMILIA from AMELS Market demand for semi-custom superyachts is at its strongest in the 50-70m category, and AMELS has responded to this trend with the launch of its AMELS 188 Limited Edition.

Delivered in July 2018, 57.7m VOLPINI 2 is not only the first in its class, but it is the world’s first Tier III compliant new build yacht and the first AMELS with hybrid propulsion. Sporting a Reymond Langton-designed interior, VOLPINI 2 features an Owner’s Suite with folding balcony, six suites including a VIP suite on the bridge deck, a sun deck sky lounge accessed by a central staircase and elevator, plus a beach club and wellness area with internal stairs to the main saloon.

“This design is an important milestone for AMELS,” comments Hans Konings, AMELS’ Design Manager.

“We’re very proud of the technology innovations that have gone into her design, the culmination of our AMELS 188 research and development programme, which we started in 2014.”

The International Maritime Organization’s Tier III emissions regulations require new motor yachts over 500GT with a global cruising area and a keel laid after 1 January 2016 to reduce the harmful NOX emissions in their engine exhaust gases by around 70 per cent. In addition to achieving the required Tier III engineering, the AMELS 188’s hybrid power system combines energy sources from engine heat recovery, a battery bank and a fatherand-son generator configuration to increase efficiency and reduce harmful emissions.

“With our AMELS Limited Editions approach to yacht building, we need to look further ahead and anticipate the demands of our future clients,” adds Konings. “That’s why as far as we understand, we are the world’s first new build yard to reach this milestone. What began as a challenge for our industry just

THE AMELS 180 MODEL – THE ORIGINAL MODEL IN THE RANGE, AND THE WORLD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL 55M SUPERYACHT. A STAGGERING 22 AMELS 180S HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO DATE, THE MOST RECENT BEING EJI IN 2018, WITH THE NEXT MODEL SCHEDULED FOR DELIVERY IN SPRING 2019 a few years ago is now becoming standard practice – to the benefit of our environment.”

Commenting on his latest collaboration with the yard, which will be on display at Monaco Yacht Show 2018, designer Tim Heywood, says: “VOLPINI 2 is unique and original and exceeds my wildest expectations. She is

inspired, like all my work, by nature. The design echoes a cruising swan ruffling her feathers. The sweeping profile lines are enhanced by the twists in the surfaces, which give her an enriched and interesting form with light and shade effects to each deck level. I am sure we have created a timeless yacht that will cruise the world, for many decades, and provide her owner, SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

and her owner’s family, with many priceless memories of wonderful times aboard.”

Achieving a Euro 2 billion turnover, part of AMELS’ key to success is its yachting diversity. As well as achieving market dominance with its Limited Editions range, (which extends to the 83m AMELS 272 clearly demonstrating how the Limited Editions approach adds value at the high end of the market), its intrinsic connection to the DAMEN Group has given it an indispensable association with the build of yacht support vessels.

POWER PLAY, the sixth delivery from DAMEN’s successful YS 5009 design, will also debut at the Monaco Yacht Show.

Like AD-VANTAGE, AXIS and SHADOW, POWER PLAY has been configured for an adventure blend of stand-alone and superyacht support functions.

55m LA FAMILIA from AMELS

Accommodating six guests in three cabins, and including a sun deck and a main deck lounge with panoramic views, the vessel’s USP it to put adventure back into yachting. With a Gross Tonnage of 489, the high support capability of a DAMEN Yacht Support vessel is still there, including the 12-tonne deck crane and stern A-frame fittings for efficient launch and retrieval of large and heavy equipment like submersibles. Owners have the freedom to be overnight on site during dive and explorer trips while the mother yacht stays in a marina or at anchor, and it enables command dive and ROV missions, accommodating experts such as guides, historians and marine biologists.

The synergy between the AMELS Limited Edition range and DAMEN’s shipbuilding capabilities provides owners with a unique opportunity to benefit from the craftsmanship of yachts like LA FAMILIA, supported on longer expeditions by vessels such as POWER PLAY.

DAMEN's 55.5m support vessel POWER PLAY “We’re looking forward to showing our clients the next evolution of the YS 5009 at the Monaco Yacht Show,” comments Rose Damen, Commercial Director. “The adventure element with accommodation and guest areas reflects the changing market requirements. This is the complete yachting experience with diving, submersibles, fishing, exploration, underwater discovery and fast toys.

“Throughout the last century AMELS has proved that the mix of history,

craftsmanship and a willingness to adapt is a winning formula,” continues Rose Damen. “In embracing change, AMELS has secured its future by evolving, growing and diversifying without ever losing sight of its heritage and roots. As we look to the future, the combination of AMELS and DAMEN make us a strong competitor in yachting. It brings together resources, shipbuilding and experience whilst upholding the shared core values of trust, quality, promise and family.”

THE SYNERGY BETWEEN THE AMELS LIMITED EDITION RANGE AND DAMEN’S SHIPBUILDING CAPABILITIES PROVIDES OWNERS WITH A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FROM THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF YACHTS LIKE LA FAMILIA, SUPPORTED ON LONGER EXPEDITIONS BY VESSELS SUCH AS POWER PLAY 68

EACH YACHT BUILT ACCORDING TO AN INDIVIDUAL DESIGN IS UNIQUE BY DEFINITION. IT IS THE EMBODIMENT OF AN IDEAL YACHT. SUCH A YACH T-DREAM WAS FOR 30-METER OCEAN STAR OWNE R. WE FOUND THIS A SUFFICIENT REASON TO INTRODUCE THE READER IN DETAIL TO THE YACHT, WHICH WAS RECENTLY PUT UP FOR SALE

EFORE PROCEEDING to a description of the merits of a yacht, not all of which are obvious from a brief acquaintance with the subject of our story, we emphasize the Ocean Star is a piece project made by professionals and tested by time and sea. Some moments from the history of the creation of this yacht may cause a skeptical attitude to the qualities of the Ocean Star. However, by rejecting bias and stereotypes, you can easily see that these, in some way disputed facts, did not at all worsen the result. The yacht turned out to be unusual and, of course, unique. Moreover, it is beautiful and has a modern classic exterior, which will remain relevant for many years. Despite the high superstructure, the hull of the yacht does not look massive, and on the move under sails, the Ocean Star attracts the eye with its elegance and harmonious proportions.

Once the owner of the yacht decided to make a round-the-world trip, so the yacht was built with an eye on longrange transitions and a variety of climatic conditions right up to the ice latitudes. In addition to the completely closed logging, the presence of the steel hull also speaks about the important mission of the yacht and its serious

nature. The superstructure is made of aluminum. For a basis, one of the Dutch shipyards has taken the project of a sailing yacht. The project was finalized and changed in accordance with the wishes of the owner; the construction of the hull and the assembly of the yacht was carried out under project supervision at the shipyard in Nikolayev. Why did the owner choose this site to build the yacht? It was so comfortable. For the high-quality assembly of the yacht on the basis of the project prepared by the Dutch, this site has approached the customer of the Ocean Star to the fullest, especially in Nikolayev where they have been building ships more than 200 years and know how to make quality steel housings. (It does not occur to anyone to question the quality of the Perini Navi yachts assembled at the shipyard in Turkey!).

An additional guarantee of quality of work is the certification by the company Bureau Veritas (BV), which was

SALE I OCEAN STAR connected to the process of building the yacht in the very first stages. The control process by the bureau covered all operations, beginning with the welding of the hull, at which each weld was certified. BV nowadays hold the annual and five-year certification of the Ocean Star.

"During construction, I was instructed to supervise the safety and seaworthiness of the yacht. The boat was built during almost 5 years; we carefully checked all solutions offered by the shipyard", says the captain of the yacht Andrey Toptalov. He not only performs skipper duties from the moment the yacht was launched, but also personally took part in the design and construction

of the ship and therefore knows everything about the Ocean Star.

"We chose such technical solutions to be as independent as possible from equipment suppliers, and, for example, in case of breakdowns, manage by ourselves, not to call branded services from another continent", the captain continues the story.

The principle of technical autonomy has become one of the most important in the process of designing a vessel. The engines are also selected according to this principle. "We delivered Yanmar diesel engines of 500 hp. each. Anglers usually use such engines – they can work 365 days a year without interruption. It is very valuable to have a reserve of

power during voyages in remote areas, where there is no help from anywhere", explains the captain of the yacht.

The fuel reserve for the Ocean Star is 20 tons, so you can overcome up to 5 thousand miles in the absence of wind on the yacht. Although the boat is classified more like motor sailing, it also shows good speed under sails. Of course, it is not effective to go for tacking on such a heavy vessel, especially when it is fully loaded. However, this task was not set out initially. However, on passing courses and in a fresh breeze Ocean Star is confident and powerful, accelerating to 10-12 knots.

"The owner of the boat came up with a peculiar design of the cabin, he wanted to have a big salon at the top in case of cold weather", says Andrey Toptalov. For the convenience of managing the yacht under sail, there is a special platform in the roof with an

additional control post – the "nest of wood grouse", as the owner calls it. You can get there by the ladder from the main salon.

The main sailing wardrobe includes four sails – mainsail, staysail, genoa (the last two on the spins) and spinnaker. "Recently we changed the sun-protecting tape on sails, and the producer company was surprised that, despite the age, the sails are in excellent condition. There is nothing supernatural about this: we always take off sails when the boat is not in operation, and we do not go oncoming courses", the captain of the yacht continues.

The mast and rigging were counted and mounted at the Dutch shipyard Jongert. All equipment in this part was selected for the highest category, the main criterion was the safety, convenience and efficiency of working with sails. “We abandoned the mechanism of twisting the mainsail into a boom and put an "ordinary" sail on the armor. With this decision, the mainsail can easily be put and dropped even in stormy weather, without fear the wind will twist in and on the wave.

We were able to make sure of the correct decision very quickly: after leaving Jongert, we went to sea with the just installed mast and got into a passing storm with gusts up to 50 knots. We sailed to the English

Channel and on. Ocean Star did an excellent job with the first test, and it was an amazing feeling!”.

To give the boat proper stability, the keel should be at least a third of the total weight of the boat – the Ocean Star weight is 140 tones, so the false keel is completed with a lead-shaped drop-shaped bulb of 46 tons. The yacht's draft is relatively small – 3.7 m, so there are practically no parking restrictions in marinas or in shallow bays near the yacht.

Three Kohler generators provide uninterrupted power for all systems on the move and during parking. Three 80-liter boilers are the source of hot water for all living quarters of the boat.

The stock of fresh water is not very large (only 3 tons), but compensated by the presence of a desalination plant with a capacity of 220 l/h.

The Ocean Star uses an automated fuel filtration system with a 250-gallon fuel tank. In addition, the fuel can be pumped between tanks on different SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

OCEAN STAR I SALE sides and, thus, use them as ballast on the fly under sail.

The navigation equipment of Ocean Star is an impressive list. It includes 3 chart-plotters, 2 radars; one of them is the top-level BridgeMaster with a detection distance of up to 95 miles.

There are 3 GPS-receivers, echo sounders, AIS, satellite communication system and 2 autopilots in stock. The yacht also has 3 stationary and 3 portable VHF stations and a HF radio station. "We are as on a military

aircraft – all important systems are duplicated, even more than once", the captain comments on the principles of the yacht's creation.

The yacht is equipped with two 120 kg anchors with a 120-meter chain, supplied with powerful winches from the Data Company. "Anchor winches were put with the expectation of lifting the anchor with a completely etched chain", – clarifies the captain. – "The winches are equipped with an additional drum (drill) for mooring

ends. Any ends, even thick with a hand, are packed without problems".

Of course, the Ocean Star is built in accordance with environmental standards. Two fecal tanks of 3 cubic meters are enough for a long parking in the marina or at anchor. The prosaic nature of this issue does not detract from its importance for life on a yacht.

"Smaller tanks are filled quickly, and not in every marina the service for pumping dirty waters works regularly and qualitatively", explains the

The Castoldi 4,5m water-jet boat is used as a tender for the Ocean Star.

"The tender is equipped with a 125 hp diesel engine, and this is another problem – if the traveling boat had an outboard motor, it would have to keep a gasoline reserve all the time", – the captain of the yacht explains the advantages of this choice.To climb aboard the yacht is convenient on the Opacmare swing-and-slide ladder. If the Ocean Star is lagged to the dock, the length of the gangway is enough to get out on the pontoon through the starboard side. Mooring the stern, you can stand at a comfortable distance of 2-2.5 m from the pontoon. On the stern platform, there is also a convenient pullout ladder for swimming. The engine room has a Russian fire

Describing the equipment of the yacht in details, we did not set the task of tiring the reader with technical data. The impressive list of equipment underscores how carefully Ocean Star was thought out, how carefully the design and construction of the yacht were concerned with the details and how important it was for the owner to ensure the reliability of all yacht life support systems. Thanks to the thoroughness of the customer and the performers, the yacht is made soundly, expensive, reliable, safe and optimal for long cruising.

Now a little bit about the way of life and the habitat on the Ocean Star board.

The yacht comfortably accommodates 6 people –there are 3 cabins for them, each with its own bathroom. A dining room with a sofa and armchairs occupy the main part of the main salon; the control post is in front on the right behind the gangway leading to the "nest of wood grouse". From the stern cockpit, the main saloon is separated by an automatic sliding glass partition.

The owner's apartment is located on the lower deck closer to the stern and SEA TRIAL â„–12 l spring 2019

occupies space from side to side, which is almost 8 meters! In this part of the yacht, the pitching is felt the least. At the service of the inhabitants of the master cabin, there is a double bed, a zone with soft sofas, a workplace with the table, which one of the chart plotters is taken out, and a huge bathroom with a Jacuzzi. Two guest cabins also provide for double occupancy: one with a double bed, the other with two single beds.

Lacquered mahogany is used for furniture and interior decoration. Carpets are laid out on the floors, but under them a full deck covering is found, so that carpets can be changed to others or removed altogether (this, by the way, is probably not possible on all yachts, where carpets are firmly integrated into the interiors). The cabins and salons are equipped with the latest 3D television panels.

Since there are almost no restrictions on the areas of navigation for Ocean Star, the air conditioning system of the yacht works both for cold and for heating, thanks to powerful fan coils. Over the years of the operation of the boat, this system has proved to be very effective and low-cost.

The crew, living in comfort, works better and more fun. The owner of the

equipped with washing and drying machines, sails, as well as seabobs, skis and other water toys, it is convenient to store in the pantry in the forepeak on the yacht.

"The minimum crew for the Ocean Star is 3 people, for a smaller team this work will be difficult, especially if it's a question of swimming with long transitions", says Andrei Toptalov. "We have a crew of four, and this, in my opinion, is optimal".

"Based on my experience working on this yacht and talking with colleagues, I concluded that the Ocean Star was conceived and executed very successfully", – says the captain of the yacht. "It's convenient and pleasant to operate, but easy to maintain".

The yacht pleased the owner for many years, and he gave her his love in return and never saved it, ordering only the best equipment, best spare parts and consumables for the Ocean Star. The current repair of the main units was carried out regularly, and the team always treated the yacht with care and did not expose it to risk and excessive loads without any special need. Over the years of voyage, the yacht showed itself only from the best side. Outwardly, it still looks modern and is in excellent condition. To see this, just look at the pictures. However, it is always better to see once than to read a hundred times.

Without a doubt, the yacht will last a very long time, and its resource and reliability will be enough to realize even the most daring plans. The Ocean Star is ready to swim at any time. The case for small: just go on board and give up the moorings!

WELL-ESTABLISHED COMPANIES WITH HERITAGE AND PEDIGREE SUCH AS BENETTI, FERRETTI, CODECASA OR BAGLIETTO ARE RAPIDLY CONTINUING TO DEVELOP THE CONSTRUCTION CAPABILITIES, AND APPROACHING THE 90M CATEGORY JZ: Serge, what is the indisputable advantage of the southern shipyards over the northern?

SC: Their superiority primarily lies in style and value. However, their prices, in my opinion, are rather controversial. In fact, they can only seem to be low.

In Italy, there are 120 major shipyards and all of them have an impressive marine history! But their philosophy is different; the South proposes stylish, bright and memorable toys. In general, the northern and southern shipyards look like Rolls-Royce and Ferrari.

I already said Italy is a brand per se. Their sense of style and aesthetics, touching upon their Mediterranean heritage, has become a calling card of the southern shipyards. It is what yacht owners have come to know and expect.

On a side note, it is worth mentioning Turkey and its shipyards. The successes of the Turkish shipbuilders is impressive. For example, Turquoise blew up the market in recent years, pushing new builds in sizes of 50-plus or more. ​​ The benefits of building in Turkey are so apparent that the contract for the purchase of 50m M/Y Razan was signed at the Monaco Yacht Show last year!

JZ: There appears to be both consolidation and expansion happening among the Northern shipyards, and their approach to yacht building is both innovative and, in some cases, revolutionary. What, in your opinion, distinguishes southern shipyards in terms of innovations in construction?

SC: The Palumbo Group has made great strides in yachting in recent years, with both custom and semi-custom projects, and the group’s production has markedly increased since the 2016 acquisition of ISA Yachts And yards like Benetti are building truly high performance composite yachts. But I think it’s the ‘Made in Italy’ stamp of approval that is acknowledged globally as being a sought-after signature. Not just as a sense of style that comes with an Italian shipbuilder, but for the craftsmanship and skill that they excel in too. Certainly, their many years of experience in the industry play an important role.

JZ: How will yacht construction develop over the next five years? What events and, perhaps, surprises await us?

SC: I think the popularity of semi-production yachts will continue to grow, but there will always be inspirational owners who are closely involved in the process of creating their own child, and look to push the boundaries of yacht design.

Globalisation is also inevitable. This is already clear to see with Riva’s latest designs. Ferretti refreshed its entire fleet of semi-custom yachts in 2018, while the first model in the new Riva 110 Dolcevita series made her world premiere in Monaco in May, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else comes out of that iconic yard.

Cost-efficiency and time management will also play a very important role.

Tesla’s highly-anticipated introduction to yachting will happen in the coming years, but it is impossible to guess where this will take place.

JZ: Are there any exceptions to the general rule?

SC: Yes, and I would like to highlight two shipyards, which can’t easily be assigned to either the North or the South.

The first shipyard is Dynamiq, which has assembly shops in Italy’s Viareggio.

This shipyard’s radical difference lies in the design of its hulls, thanks to its collaboration with Dutch naval architect Van Oossanen and the participation of American Najad Dynamics. The build process uses contractors and engineers from Northern Europe. But, for the first time in yacht building, you will find all furniture, lamps and interior accessories selected in partnership with the iconic Italian aristocratic brand, Bottega Veneta. So, we have a Dutch aluminium boat, assembled in Italy by the Dutch, and deprived of Nordic restraint for its interior design.

The second shipyard is Dominator, a famous Italian brand acquired by Austrian investors. It is now developing according to the laws of Northern Europe. This brand demonstrates innovation and is not afraid to take risks in the GRP segment, which is already well populated by the Benetti and Ferretti groups.

Cannes HOME RUNS. The BEST NEW YACHTS of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2018

O

VER SIX days, more than 51,000 guests visited the exhibition. The show featured 542 companies, 638 boats, including 150 yachts over 20 meters long. Crazy numbers, indeed! The whole city of Cannes was just booming.

The organizers have already declared plans for the 2019 show. The exhibition will get even bigger and change the layout. From 2019, all motor yachts will concentrate on the main site in the Vieux Port, and sailing yachts will occupy Port Canto, where brokerage yachts and toys were located. Seems to be a smart choice, but we will see if it is in future.

Now, a couple of months after the festival, after weighing all the pros and cons, let’s sum up some results. This year we saw a couple of hundreds premieres, but we managed to select just over a dozen of cream-de-la-cream. Off we go!

BAGLIETTO After getting an insert of power from new owners Gavio Group, Baglietto now goes full speed ahead. La Spezia-based shipyard brought in one of the largest superyachts of the show. The 48m sister ship of Andiamo is the 2nd unit of T-Line 48M series and includes many upgraded spaces. It was sold shortly after the show. Francesco Paszkowski Design designed the sleek exteriors, drawing inspiration from the traditional, stylish features of Baglietto’s other vessels. The yacht perfectly combines ample inside volumes, great outdoor areas with an elegant but sporty line. She also offers improved outdoor areas like the beach club. Baglietto is currently building a third sister ship, available for sale and delivery in 2020, and four other superyachts from 40 to 55 m.

ISA YACHTS The past show was the first for the famous Ancona-based shipyard under powerful Palumbo group’s umbrella. As part of new vision and strategy, ISA Yachts has become super innovative and presented new Extra 76 yacht. Francesco Guida designs this 24m boat. Previously he had created a similar vessel for Arcadia Yachts. The Extra 76 is all about large volumes compared to the size, on board comfort, low consumption for long-range navigation, and outdoor spaces designed to enjoy close contact with nature. She has a huge alfresco aft platform that resembles classic explorers that is well connected with a vast saloon.

The Extra range has become so successful in less than one year, so the shipyard has already sold the Extra 86, 93 and flagship 126, they all will be delivered by the summer 2019.

OVERMARINE A legendary Maxi Open superyachts manufacturer Overmarine Group has officially presented the new generation fast displacement Mangusta GranSport.

54-metre El Leon was the largest superyacht at the show. This is the very first unit of the new range. A very popular Alberto Mancini has designer

both exterior and interior of the model.

He and Overmarine have managed to combine an amazing combination of factors in one boat while preserving the company’s traditions and DNA. She combines a beasty character with 30 knots maximum speed under full load and sleek aggressive profile with a transatlantic range of 4200 nautical miles.

SANLORENZO Benetti's main competitor in terms of construction volume remains, perhaps, the key newsmaker of the entire yachting industry. Sanlorenzo showed two outstanding new models at the CYF 2018. More or less similar to her older sister, the SX88 unveiled last year, the new SX76 broke all possible charts and ratings. Clients made a number of pre-orders months before the official start of sales. The boat features a loft-inspired interior without partitions.

The great architect Piero Lissoni created her minimalist decor and the yacht has a huge comfortable cockpit aft. The second big Sanlorenzo premiere is the SL102. The 31-meter superyacht is made in collaboration with Chris Bangle and Zuccon International Studio. The first ever asymmetric design makes this boat a true revolution. By sacrificing the left side aisle, Sanlorenzo has maximized the saloon area. All ingenious is simple.

SOUTH I CODECASA

Text by Eugenia BAKUNOVA

25,000 sqm facility in Pisa is the most recent area realized by the Codecasa Shipyards Group in order to build hulls and superstructures up to 80m of LOA since their very first stages of construction

Codecasa and Its Achievements THE HISTORY OF CODECASA GOES BACK TO 1825, WHEN GIOVANNI BATTISTA CODECASA BEGAN TO BUILD BOATS IN VIAREGGIO, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ITALIAN SHIPBUILDING CENTERS

I

N THE course of time, new generations of Codecasa were connected to the family business, and in 1902 another Giovanni Codecasa together with his father Antonio founded the shipyard, setting the business to a completely different level. Firstly, the company “Antonio Codecasa e Figli” produced sailing and fishing boats. In 1946, a new shift and Ugo Codecasa came to the management of the company, continuing to actively develop the work of the ancestors.

In 1973, Ugo’s son Fulvio headed the shipyard. From that year, the company began the construction of luxury motor yachts and continued its usual business of producing vessels for various purposes. Nowadays Codecasa is a group

90

of three companies: Codecasa Ugo, Codecasa Due and Codecasa Tre. Fulvio Codecasa is still at the helm of the company. Her daughters Fulvia (the chairman of board of directors) and Elena, and their husbands, Ennio Buonomo (holds the post of CEO) and Fabio Lofrese. Fulvio Codecasa personally follows up the progress of work on each project and, as they say at the shipyard, remains the most stringent and demanding customer.

Currently, Codecasa offers its customers custom displacement and gliding 30-70 m length yachts made of steel or all-aluminun. All Codecasa yachts are unique, reliable, comfortable and endowed with the latest technology.

Many shipyard projects have been

awarded prestigious awards, and there are many celebrities among the company's clients.

Service and refit in the company are also given an important place.

Production areas of the company are distributed on several bases. There are head offices and a production area with a total area of about 9 thousand m2 in Viareggio. Production capacity in Pisa is 25,000 sqm and allows building hulls up to 70 m in length.

Most of the last years Codecasa projects were laid out and almost completely built before they got owners.

Financing of projects was carried out at the expense of the company by itself – only few shipyards afford such an approach to business today. For some SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

customers this opportunity turns out to be very attractive – there is no reason to wait for the yacht for years. For the shipyard, proactive construction allows the optimal utilization of production capacity and provides more flexible use of financial resources.

It should be noted that the size of the Codecasa business is not comparable with other shipyards operating in the same segment. Moreover, this is definitely a huge advantage. During the year Codecasa builds no more than 1-2 hulls, otherwise, according to the company position, it will be a completely different production. Seven out of the ten richest Italians chose Codecasa yachts, despite the fact that the company almost does not participate in exhibitions and does not spend money on PR. Codecasa yachts promote themselves, and the shipyard is fully focused on the production of ships and gives a guarantee of their quality with all 200 years of experience. As the shipyard general director Ennio Buonomo once said: “We do not build big yachts, we build small ships”, – and this is the whole truth about the oldest Italian shipyard.

Nowadays, Codecasa remains one of the few family-owned companies, and shipyard customers appreciate it. By the way, there are a lot of celebrities among them. Let us recall, for example, Giorgio Armani, who got two Codecasa yachts: in 2003, the 50-meter Mariu, and then in 2008 the 65-meter Main. Stefano Gabbana, the co-founder of the Dolce & Gabbana luxury fashion house, ordered the 51-meter superyacht Regina d’Italia from the shipyard. It was delivered to customer in 2006. The list of star customers can go on and on.

SOUTH I CODECASA The most popular Codecasa projects of the last years are yachts from the Vintage series. By the way, the company has recently launched and sold one of them - 43m Hull C122. This 43-meter ocean cruiser is the shipyard's full product: the concept project, the exterior and interior design – everything was done by the shipyard’s “home” experts.

The elegant laconic look of the yacht corresponds to the name of the Vintage series; however, the “vintage” of the project ends here. The yacht is endowed with advanced technologies and offers the future owner a wide choice in organizing travel options, whether it is a blitz voyage on the Mediterranean, or protracted wintering in the other hemisphere. The classic steel water-displacing hull has passed design tests in a trial basin and is ready for heavy loads. The spread of working speeds of C122 is 11-16 knots. The yacht will pass up to 4000 miles on cruise 11 knots without refueling. All these characteristics indicate that we are dealing with a serious ocean explorer, which will become a reliable and cozy sea home for its guests. The master cabin is located in the bow of the main deck; the guests live in four double suites, which are provided for them below. The bow of the residential deck is given to the crew. Two tenders will provide a reliable connection with the shore: 6-meter Castoldi is hidden in the aft garage, and a rescue rib is stored in the bridge. The interiors of the yacht are made in bright colors.

Another famous yacht from the shipyard Codecasa – 50-meter Gazzella – is also a representative of the Vintage series. In 2016, this yacht became a finalist of The World Superyacht Awards. Although Gazzella was content just with a nomination, it says a lot. Codecasa makes a piece product, providing an inaccessible level of quality of work, which is difficult to expect from shipyards operating with construction volumes of up to 30-40 ships per year.

92

NOWADAYS, CODECASA REMAINS ONE OF THE FEW FAMILY-OWNED COMPANIES, AND SHIPYARD CUSTOMERS APPRECIATE IT. BY THE WAY, THERE ARE A LOT OF CELEBRITIES AMONG THEM

The Green Investments to Yachting from Sanlorenzo THE ECO-FRIENDLY MOVEMENT BECOMES MORE ACTUAL AND WIDESPREAD. IT IS NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE SHOULD DO TO PRESERVE THE PURITY OF NATURE. NOWADAYS IT IS AN IMPORTANT FASHION TREND NVIRONMENTALLY friendly and pragmatic – that’s the main slogan to all industries in 2018.

However, the process of introducing electric and hybrid propulsion systems in the nautical industry is lower and intricate.

There are many methods of transformation of the yachts, although they require a lot of time and sometimes insane solutions in planning, engineering or technology.

The most corny, but also complicated methods of extracting energy for the movement is the equipping your boat

96

with solar or wind (or both in combination) panels, which accumulate natural energy and turn it into a motor force.

On the one hand, the use of such engine complex almost completely protects the environment from pollution, but at the same time significantly reduces the speed of the yacht. Another ecosolution is using some environmentally friendly materials, which are easy to process. However, such materials are used to a greater or lesser extent by almost all popular shipyards.

One of the shipyards, which engaged in global production of yachts with

eco-friendly propulsion systems, became the Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo.

Their experiments with the transformation and improvement of engines began in 2015 with the hybrid model SL106. Today Sanlorenzo are ready to present a new range of models with electric propulsion systems the «E Motion».

This range will consist of both displacement superyachts in metal with a diesel/electric propulsion, and high performance planing yachts in fiberglass, equipped with hybrid system. The first two blocks of fiberglass will be launched in 2018, two SL86 E Motion models

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

E MOTION of 27 meters in length. By 2020, also the first 3 Sanlorenzo Superyachts with diesel/electric systems will be available: the 44Alloy E Motion, 500Exp E Motion and 62Steel E Motion — respectively 44, 47 and 62 meters in length. The range will be complete in 2021 with the introduction of 50Alloy, 1000Exp and 58Steel.

In the «E Motion» Sanlorenzo offers two innovative systems, each of which has a number of features.

HYBRID SYSTEM The basics motor processes are performed on diesel engines and electric motors, which operate on demand along with the main engine in order to increase its power.

The hybrid system uses smaller and less powerful engines that means less expense when the ship is floating at cruising speed. Only when required, with the help of gen sets and batteries, this system generates the power to feed the electric motors that are paired with the main engines, making the yacht to achieve better results.

When sailing, electric motors can be used as energy generators to control

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019 SEA TRIAL №8 | Spring 2018

on-board consumption and to recharge batteries.

ELECTRIC PROPULSION SYSTEM The motion to the propeller is given by an electric motor fed by variable speed generators, by Lithium ion batteries or by a combination of the two.

These generators take up much less space compared to the «classic» engines and can significantly free space for built-in recreation areas.

Since the propeller rotation is controlled by motors located close to the propellers, there is no need for a mechanical connection. Thus, the electric system is quieter, more efficient and more durable than the traditional one, and more flexible

for installation, giving maximum freedom in the possibilities of internal planning.

Changes in motor complexes of these models can guarantee a number of other improvements.

First, we are talking about greater safety and efficiency. Both of electric motor systems have a redundant part that can function even in the case of a breakdown. In addition, the fuel con sumption of variable speed generators is controlled electronically according to required load, so it is much lower than the traditional consumption. The amount of emissions is also significantly reduced.

In ZEM mode (zero emission mode), you can swim (at a low speed and for a short distance) using only energy of batteries.

Moreover, new technologies guarantee greater comfort for the owner, crew and guests on board. The new generators are smaller and mounted on shock absorbing and vibrating structures with overlapping, releasing the space normally occupied by a standard engine room, which guarantees more space for people on the yacht. The power and required energy on board could be controlled in different profiles according to the captain’s need and the owner’s desires.

COVER STORY

Text by Anastasia ROMANOVA Photos by Guillaume PLISSON

THIS YEAR, SANLORENZO PRESENTS ITS BRAND-NEW MODEL AND, ALSO, ITS FLAGSHIP 52-METER SANLORENZO 52STEEL. THE FIRST BODY, CALLED SEVEN SINS, WAS LAUNCHED FOR A BELGIAN CUSTOMER WHO HAS OWNED YACHTS FOR MANY DECADES, THIS IS THE FIRST HIS SANLORENZO AND THE RESULT OF A SMOOTH GROWHT. For the shipyard and industry – this is a real breakthrough in the segment of up to 500 gross tons. Massimo Perotti, chairman of the board of Sanlorenzo Yachts, told us about new super yacht.

— What kind of yacht owners were you thinking of while creating the 52Steel model?

— Our yachts are for connoisseurs, for passionate yachtsmen who know what they want when traveling with their boats. We created 52Steel for those owners who look for no compromises and we feel that we reached that goal developing technical features that no other shipyard are currently able to offer on a 52-meter super yacht.

— You and the shipyard have an excellent gut feeling, why you saw this necessity in stunning 52-meter yachts in the market?

— The market itself is asking for larger sizes and we introduced the 64Steel — which is currently under construction, — but with 52Steel we wanted to win a specific challenge, to have a large size but to keep the GT under 500GT, which allows owners to contains some expenses and still enjoy the benefits of such a super yacht.

— 52Steel is a yacht under 500 tons which is very important for a yacht owner. But at the same time, some might think that 52 m is a bit too much for 499 tons. Does the yacht have a lot of volume? More than the competitors?

— The model has definitely more volume than competitors. We achieved the difficult balance to get as much room as possible and still keep the tonnage under 500GT. Plus, Seven Sins is 499GT because some areas are considered external areas and not included in the GT calculation.

— The owner of Seven Sins doesn’t make any secret of the fact that he’s SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019 SEA TRI AL #6 | autumn 2017

Massimo PEROTTI, chairman of the board of Sanlorenzo Yachts owning this boat together with some other people. Will co-owning of yachts will become trendy, to your mind?

— It’s not a matter of nationality but it depends on the way the owner is used to yachting: Seven Sins’ owner is a very special and brilliant person, with a long boating tradition and lots of friends too.

He found a smart way to enjoy the sea and his boat along with family and friends and cleverly save money at the same time. Not so many clients would do the same because every history is unique and each one experiences the yachting in his personal way. At Sanlorenzo we know this very well: every yacht we build is made

to measure according to the requests and style of our customers. We surely know how different from each other every seaman could be and are happy to give them the boat they dream to build.

— What are the changes that you recently notice in Russian speaking yacht owners and clients?

— The past crisis had some noticeable effect on the global market: buying a yacht is no longer a show-off purchase that every rich guy — who could afford to — used to make, just to impress friends.

The crisis somehow sharpened the market and today people who are interested in designing their own boat are surely

101

who love the sea in a deep and sensible way, and knows very well what they want.

— In which ways 52Steel is better than 46Steel?

— Still keeping the same elegant lines of the 46Steel, 52Steel offers remarkable technical innovations which we’ve developed during these years, also thanks to the experience we’d gained with the 8 46Steel units we’ve built and delivered so far.

The stern area, for example, is a completely new feature on a 52-meter super yacht: the floodable garage for tender up to 8-meter can transform into a large

beach area with two side terraces that open on the sea level.

— Why it’s better to choose Sanlorenzo and not your dutch competitors in the size of 50 m?

— We believe that we have achieved the right balance of Italian design, craftsmanship, and quality of build. Sanlorenzo is leading the way in terms of new ideas and innovative solutions and builds with a quality rivaling Northern European shipyards in the 50m market segment.

We aim to combine the flair of Italy with the quality of the Northern European yards as we think that there is real value here for the customer.

— How is Seven Sins at sea, by the way?

— Seven Sins has, in fact, exceeded our expectations in terms of speed, range, and stability performance. In today’s

market, owners are more sensitive to seaworthiness and stability, especially on charter yachts where the client base is increasingly welcoming new charterers who perhaps have not yet been exposed to life at sea. Stability is, therefore, a key element and Seven Sins achieves exceptional results in that respect.

— Are you changing the structure of the market in the 50m segment at this moment?

— This is the first time that a 50m yacht with that many features is under 500 Gross Tons, so we think that this will have an impact on this market segment in the future. Already we are aware of new projects with similar ideas by competing yards. Today’s owners want more and like to push the boundaries, so we will surely see interesting developments in years to come.

«TODAY PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN DESIGNING THEIR OWN BOAT ARE SURELY PASSIONATE AND EXPERIENCED YACHTSMEN, WHO LOVE THE SEA IN A DEEP AND SENSIBLE WAY»

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL CENTER I UKRAINE

Babi Yar and the Holocaust Memorial Center.

THE HOLOCAUST WAS A BRUTAL TURNING POINT IN THE HISTORY OF EUROPE. IT DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES TO THE EVIL THAT HUMANITY IS CAPABLE OF

W

ITHIN THIS tragedy of history, Ukraine is home to a place that has become synonymous with the butchery of the Holocaust - Babi Yar. On that spot, the Nazi regime killed up to 100,000 people by various counts. The massacres began with the shooting of Kyiv’s Jews on 29 September, 1941, when more than 33,000 people (the largest single massacre of the Holocaust), mostly elderly, women and children, were killed for no other reason than who they were.

During the following months, up through

106

the fall of 1943, tens of thousands of people of different nationalities and other groups were also murdered. The mentally ill, Roma, prisoners of war, priests, and resistance fighters, were also brought to their deaths in the ravine.

Unfortunately, the story of Babi Yar remains largely peripheral to both the main interests of modern Ukrainian citizens and the international community at large. And this is despite the fact that this ghastly event lies at the intersection of so many vital lessons: the panEuropean Holocaust, the tragedy of the Ukrainian people who bore the brunt of

Nazi aggression against the USSR, and an old, bleeding wound on the body of Kyiv itself. Beyond the massacres, the site also tells of both the destruction of historical memory and of heroic resistance to totalitarian ideologies.

Through all of this, Babi Yar stands witness to the crimes of the two totalitarian regimes who brutalised Ukraine in the 20th century. First, the Nazi regime committed mass murder.

Then, the Soviet Union sought to erase the memory of the victims.

However, despite this global importance, Babi Yar still does not have a SEA TRIAL â„–12 l spring 2019

The Declaration of Intent to create the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center was signed. Kyiv, September 29, 2016 memorial complex that can unite the work of carrying on the memory of the victims. There are more than 200 memorial centers to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust around the world, but there is still no center that combines the functions of memorial, research institution, and educational platform in Ukraine. A center that would become a type of communication channel, through which Kyiv and Ukraine

may broadcast ‘messages’ from the past, addressed to the present and future generations.

Therefore, Babi Yar must speak; openly, honestly and objectively. It calls on us to not only look at the crimes of others, but also look inwards towards our own faults, as well. It is a discourse of responsibility. It is appropriate to turn to the philosopher Hannah Arendt: "We must openly look into the past's eyes, we

must bear this burden, which was laid on us by the past centuries." It was the unwillingness to appear in an unfavourable light, to give objective assessments, to repent, all of this, among other reasons, which has thus far prevented the creation of a memorial center in Babi Yar.

museum. First and foremost, we face a task of not only creating a place of memory — a repository of knowledge about past events, but also a constantly evolving interactive site. The center must be a platform for interethnic dialogue and harmony, where one can discuss issues of tolerance, justice, respect, and mutual understanding between nations and cultures.

As an institution, the language we speak to the world will be purposefully modern. This will allow us to leave a lasting impact on visitors and change the way they see the world. While we will of course strive for the highest levels of excellence and professionalism, we do not plan to show off as “experts”. Instead, it is important for us to become companions, to create space for dialogue

and facilitate the search for a shared path into the future, based on respect for the value of human life and dignity.

We strongly believe that for our Memorial Center, establishing the truth about the crimes of the Third Reich is not enough. Just laying out the facts is not

enough. We need to create an environment in which these facts can be properly understood. Within our educational initiatives, we will prepare our guests to recognise the ugly face of authoritarianism and repression when they see it and know to act.

The immortal lesson of the Holocaust is that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for a human to do nothing. Indifference and inaction are forms of complicity. That’s why the context in which the Holocaust is viewed is so crucial. The simple description of Nazi crimes doesn’t achieve our aims in the contemporary world. The Holocaust cannot merely be perceived as a unique event of the past, which is unlikely ever to occur again. We are convinced that what happened once can easily happen again. So, while our educational focus is based on Holocaust studies, it also covers the broader fields of human rights, democracy, and tolerance.

We see our mission as the creation of a high-quality educational resource, which will allow Ukrainians to learn extensively about memory preservation practices, ways to defend human rights, approaches to overcoming discrimination, etc., with an international outlook. It is necessary for our educational projects to go beyond just Holocaust-specific subject matter — we need to re-evaluate the tragedy in the context of more universal themes.

Dealing with tragic historical events can be traumatising, and we are aware of the natural desire of people to avoid SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

such experiences so as not to disturb SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019 their personal comfort. It is important for us to show everyone that, regardless of one’s professional, educational, and social status, understanding the tragic events of the Second World War is truly crucial for everyone; all those who live right here, right now. That is why it is necessary to expand the focus of the project beyond the narrow scope of the Holocaust. Universal lessons will allow everyone to find their own entry points into our educational space. We will also create a virtual training hub, which will encourage a personalised training trajectory. It is necessary to study the language of democracy, and this is what we will work on.

The creation of the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center will not only help change the historical consciousness of Ukraine, but, given the great interest and attention in the world to the problems of the Babi Yar, it will undoubtedly become significant on the global stage.

Ahead of us lies a great deal of painstaking work. But, in the words of the Sages: If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?

MONACO I FRANCIS BACON MB ART FOUNDATION

PASSION? FRANCIS BACON! Text by Liliya TIPPETTS

O

NE OF THE GREATEST ancient poets Virgil said: «Everyone is attracted by his own passion». There is some truth in these words.

Being a child, we collected bright labels from sweets and colorful autumn leaves for the herbarium, postage stamps and holiday cards. As we grow our hobbies are evolving as well according to our interests.

Someone as Peter Ryabchenko, likes notaphily or numis-matics — collecting banknotes or coins. Someone, as a com-poser Andrew Webber, is passionately carried away by a certain era of art (by the way, Webber was a big fan of Victorian times) and collects everything that relates to this epoch.

Unfortunately, the most interesting and unique collections are often closed for public eye. However there are many fortunate exceptions.

Majid Bustani is a businessman from Monaco, co-owner of the Metropole Hotel, and also the founder and director of the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation — a foundation, created to study the life and creative path of the great British artist.

Majid told us how he got carried away collecting Bacon and shared interesting insights from the history of the foundation.

L.Т. Majid, how did your passionate Francis Bacon journey started before you inaugurated the foundation in Monaco?

M.B. My first encounter with Francis Bacon’s oeuvre goes back to my academic years in London in the early 1990s. While pursuing my academic studies in business and inter-national relations, I enrolled in a short course in history of art. During a visit to the Tate Gallery, I was confronted with Bacon’s enigmatic triptych «Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion» (1944), which challenged inter-pretation and triggered in me the need to explore his world. My immersion into the artist’s work, life and creative process started in those years and continues to this day.

L.T. What does Francis Bacon as an artist mean to you and what is so special in the artist’s work that triggered you to establish the foundation in his name?

M.B. I always admired Bacon’s uncompromising attitude both in his life and in work. He confronts you with the human presence, the human condition, the human drama. What is fascinating when looking at a Bacon painting is the

MONACO I FRANCIS BACON MB ART FOUNDATION

Francis BACON fact that you are often confronted with a duality between life and death, the sacred and the profane, the aggressor and the victim.

I have been fascinated by the sacredmonster personality of the British artist.

This ferociously talented artist allowed nothing and no one to get in the way of his work. I have always perceived Bacon as a loner and disciplined man. He was a loner who loved parties, an atheist obsessed with religious subjects, a generous and charming man who could also turn cruel. I admire the fact that this self-taught artist has rema-ined, throughout his career, committed to exploring the dark corners of human existence.

L.T. How did you come up with the idea of creating the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation and what is its mission?And why did you initiate the Foundation in Monaco and not London or Paris, which have been also important cities in the artist’s life?

M.B. I discovered early on in my reading that Bacon started visiting Monaco at the dawn of the 1940s. It became

112

his main residence from 1946 and a regular destination until the early 1990s.

Contemplating Bacon’s attachment to and fascination with Monaco, and after having studied the poignant, timeless work of the British painter for a number of years, I started to dream of a concrete project in his memory. The creation of a Foundation in Monaco, dedicated to this singular artist, seemed obvious to me. In 2010, I initiated the project thanks to the pivotal support of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and the Monegasque authorities. The Estate of Francis Bacon encouraged this unique initiative and Martin Harrison, editor of the artist’s catalogue-raisonné, is on the Foundation’s board. On 28 October 2014, the Sovereign inaugurated the anniversary of the painter’s birth, the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation.

Our foundation is dedicated to promoting a deeper under-standing of the work, life and creative process of Francis Bacon worldwide; with a particular focus on the time the artist lived and worked in Monaco and France.

It is open to researchers and to the public throughout the year, by appointment only. It provides a singular way for

visitors to immerse themselves in Bacon’s oeuvre, by offering them a free guided tour through which they can discover about one hundred pieces of my col-lection. Since its opening, the Francis Bacon MB Art Founda-tion has supported a variety of projects, which are part of her mission: it has awarded scholarships to researchers and art-ists, published books on Bacon and taken part in various exhibitions and lectures dedicated to the British painter, in conjunction with local and international institutions.

L.T. Who did you chose to be a designer for FB foundation, which has immaculate attention to details and choice of unique materials that has been used in its creation?

M.B. Eduardo Cardenes worked with me to help achieve the interior design of the foundation. I decided to establish the foundation in an 1897 Belle Epoque house, Villa Elise. The interior design of our institution is reminiscent of the inti-macy of a house rather than a gallery or a museum. The enveloping atmosphere of the place is emphasised by the material used in its design. Bacon SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

short career as interior designer from the late 1920s guided the choice of the furnishings for the Foundation.

L.T. How did the time he lived in Monaco affect Bacon’s work? What new and special aspects are appeared in artist’s work during this period?

M.B. It was in Monaco that Bacon began to concentrate on the representation of the human form, a decisive step that would lead him to be recognized as one of the major figura-tive artists of the twentieth century. It was also there that Bacon embarked on his papal figures (mainly inspired by the Diego Velázquez «Portrait of Pope Innocent X») and his «head» series, and initiated new working practices such as painting on the unprimed side of the canvas.

L.T. It is a known fact that Bacon was a self-taught artist. Did any artist inspire him in particular? Which artists do you think are inspired by Bacon’s work?

M.B. A self-taught artist, Bacon is celebrated as one of the great painters of the twentieth century. He was inspired in his work by the Great Masters such as Rembrandt, Velázquez, Michel Ange SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

and Cimabue. To my opinion, Adrian Ghenie, Steven Conroy and Damien Hirst are among the artists who have been influenced by the art of Francis Bacon’s.

L.T. Which Bacon’s paintings and memorabilia from your collection are the most inspirational?

M.B. I cherish each and every item of my collection. I have acquired some rare pieces such as the earliest surviving painting by Francis Bacon, «Watercolour» (1929), a unique work once owned by Eric Alden, his companion and first collector, and by the Australian artist Roy de Maistre who was arguably Bacon’s most formative mentor. I have also pur-chased a rug designed by Bacon entitled «Composition» (1929), one of only seven rugs that have survived from his furniture and rug designer period. «Figure Crouching»(1949), the earliest crouching figure executed by the artist, is among my favorite paintings in the collection.

The nude figure, perhaps a self-portrait of the artist, is isolated in a three- dimensional transparent cage. This work might have been painted in Monaco. www.mbartfoundation.com

JOHAN ERNST NILSON: «IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE» HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN INSTRUCTS HIS READERS: «TO TRAVEL MEANS TO LIVE». AND IT IS TRUE. FOR SOMEBODY TRAVELING CAN BECOME A KIND OF A HOBBY OR A REST. HOWEVER, FOR ANYBODY ELSE IT IS A LIFE PATH LEADING FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY, FROM CULTURE TO CULTURE. The well-known Swedish traveler and coach Johan Ernst Nilson told us how he chose the way of explorer and whether this experience was useful in his mentoring activity.

M.S. Johan, tell a little bit about your childhood. How did it happen that you started traveling? Was it your childish dream? How did your family and friends react to this?

J.N. When I was a very young kid, I was very bad in gymnastics at school, and I did not really know how to play football or anything. Once I started to play the piano and I started to do it with practising and motivation, focusing on how I can do something, starts from zero

114

and go to something. Therefore, I try to explain it to my friends working in the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. I said them: «It's amazing what you can do with you mindset, you can just create something out of nothing. You cannot do anything you want just because the same mindset, exactly what I want to said. Nobody let say that if you be the worst in a football team you cannot do the physical just because you want to. Listen, I can bike to the Sahara from Stockholm next week if I would like to, but don’t want to». So, we make a bet. The next week I would pack my bicycle, pack a tent and will start in the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. As a result, I will bike 52 days to the Sahara.

That's how I started everything.

M.S. So was your first trip (from Sweden to Africa by bicycle) a spontaneous decision? What was it like?

J.N. I threw up the first day and I decided: «Never again I'm going». I call my mom, and she said: «Well, you know, I understand that stuff but you did it today, right? So let's talk again tomorrow». So I did the next day and call my mum again: «I'm coming home now, I don't like this». «Yeah, but you did yesterday and you did today, maybe you can do tomorrow? You know what's funny, if you do only today, for 52 days you get to the Sahara». I realize that taking problem at the time, at the time, at the time, slowly, slowly, slowly, you can make the impossible possible. If I am going to start study to become a SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

JOHAN ERNST NILSON I PERSONALITY

doctor, it looks so: «Oh my God, it takes eight years. Yeah, but can I do this exam?

Yes. Then I worry about the next later». So slowly-slowly-slowly, it's just like anything you do if you want to quit smoking, you just stop taking the next cigarette.

Everything is based on small steps.

Of course, this trip was a very spontaneous decision and later expeditions took much more time of planning. Nevertheless, I love many things from it. It was good because it was a little bit naive. Sometimes, if you knew how hard it would be, you cannot do it. I think to be a little bit naive is good, especially in science.

Sometimes the biggest ideas comes from just a mistake or from trying anything different. This trip was spontaneous, and it was a start. For today I have done 52 expeditions, visited 168 countries, spent 3000 nights in tents (that’s 8,5 years!).

somebody asked me: «So, can I walk to break wall?». I answered: «I don’t know how to do it. But just because I don’t know HOW to do it, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible». If I will show an iPhone in the XIII century, they probably burn me alive. If I show electricity in the Stone Age, they could think I am a God. Maybe in 2100 years we will transport ourselves through walls or travel with light.

«The wall philosophy» is built on the philosophy of that everything is possible.

You watch a film inside your phone, but 25 years ago it was impossible! So what we step ahead 1000 years?

M.S. As for you, what is the most important things in preparation for

the expedition? What is possible to predict and which things always takes unawares?

J.N. One thing that I did at the early stage — I started to plan everything that could happen during an expedition. One time I was kayaking from Stockholm to Africa in another expedition, and I also make a whole list of things that can happen when I kayak. It took 6 month, 12 hours of kayaking every day. Half of this list had never happened, but another half that I did not even think about happened. So, what I realized, it is important to be flexible, to take the problems when they arrived and try to think outside of box. Think «the wall philosophy»! See possibilities instead of

M.S. Objectively speaking, your travels are a kind of way out from the comfort zone. A lot of risks, a lot of unusual load, a lot of suspense. How difficult was this exit during the first trips? How did you learn to cope with it?

J.N. The first step is always the hardest.

For many people «an expedition» sounds really scary before they make a decision to go. But once you go, you let go some fears inside you and then just follow them and get along. The first step is also the most important to dare to do it. Mistakes has been my greatest knowledge. When I do mistakes the whole time, I learn from it. The one thing I created, I have in my lectures and in my new book, is something that I called «the wall philosophy». I ask the audience, when I do lectures, can I walk to break wall. And they said: «Well, you made of flesh and bones, of course you cannot walk through walls». «So ask me» and

of my life philosophy — to reach my goals. But the most important thing, which I know from psychology, is the fact that people need to talk to somebody. All people have something to tell, something to discuss, something to solve in their life. That is what I am doing in my coaching: I am helping other people.

problems. Instead of having a paper of all the things can happen — just forget about this paper. You have some points in general, but try to be open minded, prepared for unpredictable, try to learn how to solve problems when they come. I learn how to react and it helps me during my life. I am used to situations, which happen very fast, and you need to deal with them very quickly. That’s hard, but that’s important to train to do.

M.S. You use different transports in your expeditions: a kite, a kayak, a ski, a bicycle... What about yachts?

Do you like yachting? Do you have any yachting experience during your trips or just like a kind of activity?

J.N. Yes, I do. For example, for the first time I was sailing over the Atlantic.

I had been sailing over Antarctica; I had been doing the whole Northwest Passage for four month from northern part of Greenland. Now I have a kind of collaboration with big yacht companies. They offer their clients two options: a simple rent or a rent of the boat complete with me. Usually this is a large yacht, which takes us on an interesting route. I come on board as an adventure specialist, knowing the history of areas, to tell people about the features of the region and to conduct mini-expeditions. We need to be different to the other markets, so we offer the adventures.

M.S. You visited above 160 countries.

How different are people and cultures in different parts of the Earth? How do you think, is there something that unites people all over the world?

J.N. When I grew up, people always told me «Everybody run the world». It is the same. I started to travel around the world, and I was very surprised because people are not. People are very different around the world. However, they have the same value. If I will go to China, it has a completely other story of getting to know somebody, asking him to go out, doing a business, doing whatever

116

else. It is very different from if I go to Saudi Arabia or to Monaco, or to Peru.

People have different cultures, laws, regulations, religions and you cannot really say that you may treat people the same way. You have to interact with the cultures, philosophies and religions, to understand how they think, how they work. Nevertheless, they have the same value as the human beings.

M.S. In your opinion, how far is modern man from nature?

J.N. I think we are going to waste. On the one hand, we develop iPhones, we go to space, and we have technological progress. On the other hand, we really forget about nature. We forget about those things, which were evolutionary for us. We are going away from our basics: happiness, fears, sense of body. In the nature there is no depression, there is no suicide, there is no obesity — we create all those things. I think we got to come back to nature because we need to connect with it to be happy. We need to bethink that humanity is not above nature, we ARE nature, we are a part of it.

M.S. Can people live without any goal?

J.N. When I spoke to the monks in Himalaya, I found out that they also have goals, even if they cannot be married and spent all these time on reading and meditating. Their goal is to understand more about the happiness and the truth, to help other people to understand what they are.

Everybody has a goal or a kind of dream. I do not think I have ever met a person who has no goals. I believe that you will be uninteresting as a person if you had not anything you look forward to.

M.S. What do happiness and success mean in your understanding?

J.N. People are looking for happiness, while happiness is inside them. I believe people will be tired of social

M.S. How did you decide to be a coacher?

J.N. I work with philanthropy for my whole life. My parents and my grandparents had been working with it. So, it was a part of my childhood.

When I took part in «Pole2Pole» expedition, they call me adventure activist. It means that I combine my adventures with philanthropy; I combine my adventures with doing well around the world. People started to ask me about advice and at first their questions was connected with expeditions. Then their question changed to more philosophical, for example: «You couldn’t bike. But you biked to the Sahara. How did you do that? Did you want to give up? What made you continue? ». Therefore, I started to think about it more and wrote books, where I create a concept | sammer SEA TRIAL №12 №9 l spring 2019 2018 SEA TRIAL

networks, where they just show their lives, proving others that they are happy. We are focusing on the wrong things. We are moving away from nature, we are not listening enough to our inner voices. Being happy has nothing through with being successful. Being happy has nothing through with being in love. Being happy is a balance between many things. Nevertheless, we are trying to find love to be happy, but then love breaks and we are unhappy. When you buy a new thing and lose it, you also feel unhappy. These things are not related to real happiness.

Knowledge, education, family — here these things, which create happiness.

To my mind, happiness is built on three different stages. The first one: to find a purpose of life. The second: to have somebody to share your dreams with. And the third: to have something to look forward to.

I became happy when I started to guide other people, when I started with my philanthropy, when I started with changing other people’s life.

Moreover, to be successful for me is to make a difference other people life, having impact in a positive way.

THE SPORTS OF KINGS AND THE KING OF SPORTS Text by Marina SLOBODIANIK Photo by Andrea VARANI

A

MONG the existing variety of hobbies and occupations, sport is a kind of activity that develops intellectual abilities, improves the physical preparation and promotes the strengthening of interpersonal relationships. Especially if we are talking about team sports. Moreover, sportive competitions and games became more and more entertaining and spectacular. Nowadays football, hockey and basketball could be called a sport of mass. However, some kinds of sport differ in their individuality and originality. Polo is one of those.

Rommy Gianni is a patron and captain of the Monte Carlo Polo Team. He told us more details about polo game and its particular qualities.

M. S. Rommy, tell our readers a little bit about yourself. How did your passion for polo begin?

R. G. My passion for polo began about 20 years ago. My father had a very big passion for horses and began to play polo 35 years ago. I followed him during his games and began to learn and play with him at the age of 21.

M. S. Why did you decide to assemble a polo-team exactly in Monaco? In your opinion, is Monte Carlo an appropriate place?

R. G. I decided to create a Federation and Association called Monte Carlo Polo Team about 6 years ago. I am a Captain of the Monte Carlo Polo Team and a President of the Federation and Association. I have been a Monaco resident for 37 years now, and my objectives are to play with the Monegasque colors all around the world, to organize charity events as we did in our past events. And, of course, to create a synergy with different countries around the world. My major goal is to create a first event in the Monegasque grounds. I believe it would be the ideal location for polo as a sport and its entourage.

M. S. Is polo an exceptionally gentlemanly sport? Or is it equally suitable for both women and men?

R. G. Polo initially was played by men. In the past years, more women took interest in this unique sport.

M. S. What are the most important qualities for a polo player?

R. G. The most important qualities are to be a perfect rider, to be able to play and to practice as much as possible like in any order sport.

M. S. Horses are direct participants of this game. How much does it cost to buy one pony for a player? Do you have your favorite horses?

R. G. The prices of the horses varies from 5 till 150 thousand of dollars, depending on the horse. I don’t have a particular favorite horse, because each horse I have has a different quality.

M. S. What are the risks associated with polo?

R. G. Polo is obviously a very risky sport.

You may fall from the horse or get hit with mallet and the ball. Nevertheless, the real passionate are willing to take the risks for the love of this sport.

M. S. Polo is famous as a venerable and noble kind of sport, that stands in one line with the most exclusive sports, for example golf, tennis and sailing races.

Do you agree with such definition?

R. G. Polo certainly is an elite sport, but in passed years, it has become more and more popular. The goal is to make it a more international sport for people to take interest in.

M. S. Which main features of polo makes it so particular and ingenious?

R. G. The adrenaline you get, when you are riding the horse at full speed during the game. The polo field and its atmosphere are an incredible excitement for sportsman to experience. I have played in about 12 different countries and each one was magical.

N MODERN world, it is a great success to create a business of all life, which will help both to bring money and to engage in selfrealization. However, what can be more proud and exciting than sharing this business with your children? Human history has many examples of spectacular transformations from small family work to great enterprises or manufactures.

This situation is close to Edmond Avakian and his son, Haig. Two generations and one business, equally important to them both. Almost 50 years ago, Edmond began to develop his own jewelry brand. Today his products are worn by lots of celebrities and politicians, and Avakian’s name is certainly worldfamous. We talked with Edmond and Haig about the future of brand and the way of success.

M.S. Next year the Jewellery House Avakian will celebrate the 50 years old from the creation. For such a long period, your company managed to gain a steady state in the jewelry world. Surely, in the beginning of the formation, you had some slogan or formula, which indicates the main postulate of the company. If it was, how did it sound? Has it changed today?

Edmond: That slogan is perseverance! It is a very precious slogan for me. Never give up your goals and convictions. It has not changed in 50 years and has been applied in the past few years more than ever during economic turmoil.

M.S. Are there any family traditions related to your jewelry business that you would observe especially carefully?

Generally, how important for you to follow family business?

Haig: The main tradition that we try to live by in our day-to-day operation of

120 128

the business is to always do things with love and passion, and pass this on to our clients so that he/she can also feel it. We tend not to like to do things in a rush, but gradually so that the result is as close to what we had imagined. This applies to the jewellery making process, as well as the relationship with our clients, which we put a lot of effort into maintaining and developing over the years. This is an aspect, which always needs to be kept in mind as a family business.

M.S. What kind of job you like to do most: to create design or to handle business?

Haig: I love many different aspects of it. It is of course very exciting to see the process of a piece going from the design phase, to the production phase and finally on an important Red Carpet around the world. This is a process, which I enjoy a lot.

Then of course, there is a client relations aspect, which is also very exciting for me.

This is an industry where are lucky to meet very interesting people from different lifestyles, and some of their stories can be very interesting!

M.S. Many celebrities and leaderships of different countries wear your products.

Is there someone for whom you have not done any jewelry yet, but would like to create it in the future? Who is it? What kind of product may it be?

Helen Mirren

Edmond: A woman whom I admire a lot for her persona, charisma and sense of style is Queen Rania of Jordan. I feel that she embodies a lot of what the Avakian woman is about. It would be an honor to one day design a customized piece for her, which carries a special meaning to her and all her contribution to humanity.

M.S. Present an image of your potential buyer. Who is he or she? What features are inherent for him or her? Moreover, what jewelry he or she should pay SEA TRIAL spring 2019 2019 SEA TRIAL №12 №12 ll spring

attention on firstly in order to perfectly complement the image?

Haig: Our potential buyer is the sophisticated active woman or man who travels the world and enjoys the best that luxury has to offer. This is typically a woman or man who already owns pieces from various big jewelry brands but has now reached a stage in their life where they want a piece which is more exclusive, with a more personalized service. This is when the client comes to Avakian.

At Avakian, we have our typical collections, which represent the core DNA of the brand and are found across all our boutiques. However, we also do many custom-made pieces for some of our clients.

A piece will be created in order to match the person’s personality and lifestyle. Our salesmen will work through this process with the client and offer them a unique experience.

M.S. In your opinion, what is the secret of the unconditional success of Avakian?

Edmond: The answer is hard work, hard work and hard work to start with. Then there is the ability to remain positive in all economic cycle dips and to use them, as the ideal time to create new designs and once the negative cycle is over come up stronger.

Also, the ability to constantly generate new ideas and techniques in design and manufacturing.

M.S. How do you see the future of the Avakian brand?

Haig: Being one of the few remaining family run international Fine Jewellery brands in the world, we feel that the brand still has a big potential for growth globally. We feel that markets like Asia

present a big opportunity us, where clients are increasingly on the lookout for more exclusive brands. We would like to develop a presence in Asia and the United States, where we previously already had a presence, and increase our presence in the Middle East where the brand already has a large following. The challenge is to always keep the exclusivity factor in mind, and grow to a size where we can still offer a personalized approach to our clients.

Edmond: My dream is for the brand one day celebrate its 100th anniversary to start with and to remain as quality oriented as it is now. I see a bright future, provided the brand knows how to adapt to various economic cycles that can dictate certain changes in production techniques and materials, allowing it to always be innovative and competitive whilst keeping its uniqueness in designs. The world has become more challenging with the on-line sales trend, so we should be always in alert to customers purchase preferences.

However, I will admit that remaining a family business among the giant groups around has become challenging, so a lot of hard work will be needed again to be able to sustain our independence.

Perhaps key strategic partnerships markets could take the brand to new heights at a faster pace.

M.S. 50 years is really a huge time, especially for such creative work.

Where do you get ideas for creating new jewelry? What inspires you most?

Edmond: I travel extensively. By extensively I mean over 75% of my time. A lot of creative work is done very high up in the sky, above the clouds, where the most creative ideas pop up. What inspires me most is when I see something anywhere in the world that makes me stop, study it and take a note. It might be a piece of art, a piece in nature, an inspiring woman who I can imagine wearing a particular design.

M.S. If you have three words to characterize your jewelries, what are these words? And why?

Haig: Wearable, Versatile, Colorful. We believe that a woman should enjoy her jewelry and it should not just be locked

Magic of Design W

hen I think about the creation of the Universe, from atoms to molecules, from DNA to proteins, from inspirations to theories, from theories to implementation — all of that integrates in one magic word: design. I truly believe the future is going to be dominated by design. Technology will follow. Humans process visual information 60,000 times faster than text; 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual (http:// www.t-sciences.com/news/humansprocess-visual-data-better). Therefore, when humans choose an object, visual data is dominant.

Conceptually simple, the design is not as simple as it seems at first sight.

In order to create something new it has to be not only beautiful, but also elegant and functional. Design is the best way to introduce new technology to market. Today’s world is filled with human creations that often are ugly and totally obsolete in the long term. Huge cities with aging infrastructure are the peak of human self-distraction. Huge concentrations of humans in one place is also minimizing the importance of human nature, in my opinion. Serenity is a dream of today’s world. Finding the form, which brings people to this state, is an art.

Design is the art of such a creation of things people desire to have — from shoes to bags, from cars to boats and airplanes.

People in today’s world want to have not just functionality, but also the reflection of their inside and expression of themselves. Finding the right forms in order to make majority happy is requiring thinking process that integrates many different aspects of life. These unique forms of design are born because of creating a matrix of parameters, such as: natural elements vs modern aesthetics vs technology vs functionality vs uniqueness vs speed, etc.

If all these parameters are met — then something implementable could be developed. When the potential customers see new design, they often give a feedback, which helps to perfect the design. Nevertheless, the design of an author usually has to meet at least 80% of approval rating from overall

122

auditorium of users to be successful. The most important opinion is the opinion of industry experts and competition. If the best company in yachts production (for example, Feadship) says they are eager to build a boat you have designed, consider you receive the God’s OK for what you have created.

The new mega yacht family of boats is going to be coming to the market in the nearest future. The idea is that big boats (50-100 meters in length) are more impressive than small ones and the company could make more money in building them. Big boats are unique; they sell more like a «dream» rather

than just a beautiful boat. Customers for such yachts are usually people with imagination and often seek professional help in understanding the technology behind the offering. New technology offered by Alarnia LLC include new materials, allowing to have stronger and more flexible surfaces that are essential while sailing in harsh conditions in the sea or the ocean. New hull design leads to better fuel economy as well as to boat’s stability. The exterior and interior designs will make a client feeling «out of the world».

From the first generation of Alarnia boats, customers will be able to pick «off

ЕШЕНИЕ О подписании контракта с Lürssen Владельцы Jubilee приняли после нескольких недель подготовительных работ и переговоров. Яхта вскоре прибудет в главный рефитный хаб судостроителя, находящийся в Гамбурге, где на год «задержится» на комплексную реконструкцию. В тесном сотрудничестве с Burgess Technical Services, на повестке дня верфи – успешно завершить непростое запланированное переоборудование суперъяхты и передать её Владельцам в мае 2020 года. «Рефит стал основным бизнесом для Lürssen, и я очень счастлив и горжусь тем, что Владельцы Jubilee приняли решение о проведении реконструкционных работ с нами. Наша группа владеет уникальными мощностями и

непревзойдённым потенциалом для одновременного проведения нескольких рефитов, и все – в Северной Германии», – прокомментировал Питер Люрсен, генеральный директор компании. Верфь, владея семью производственными мощностями, имеет достаточно места для обслуживания, рефита или ремонта нескольких судов одновременно. За 2018 год больше 10 яхт, в размере от 50 до 100 метров и более, воспользовались мощностями Lürssen

для проведения разного рода ремонтно-обслуживающих работ. Восемь из них, среди которых Eclipse, Mayan Queen, Octopus и Rising Sun, – на гамбургской верфи Blohm+Voss, приобретённой компанией в 2016 году. Всего в группе работает 2700 человек, среди которых более 700 инженеров, морских архитекторов и множество мастеров, способных заняться проектом практически любой сложности, будь то новое строительство или рефит.

«РЕФИТ СТАЛ ОСНОВНЫМ БИЗНЕСОМ ДЛЯ LÜRSSEN, И Я ОЧЕНЬ СЧАСТЛИВ И ГОРЖУСЬ ТЕМ, ЧТО ВЛАДЕЛЬЦЫ JUBILEE ПРИНЯЛИ РЕШЕНИЕ О ПРОВЕДЕНИИ РЕКОНСТРУКЦИОННЫХ РАБОТ С НАМИ.

В

ПРОШЛОМ году Arcadia Yachts увеличила свою производственную площадь до 47000 кв. м, также дополнительно реорганизовав свои производственные мощности. Данное решение позволило верфи с этого года поддерживать одновременное строительство целой «дюжины» яхт. Сейчас в процессе строительства Arcadia Yachts находятся следующие модели из их «арсенала»: две A85, две A105, одна A115, три Sherpa, а также две модели Sherpa XL. Ближайшая мировая премьера ожидает 24-метровую Sherpa XL, которая состоится уже в сентябре этого года в Каннах. Яхта впечатляет размерами своих интерьерных и экстерьерных зон отдыха с совокупной площадью 220 кв. м, а также самой её шириной на миделе, составившей 7 метров. Среднерыночный показатель ширины для яхт в таком размере – 6,3 метра. Весьма примечательно, что при таком впечатляющем объёме текущего строительства мощности верфи загружены всего лишь на 60%! Это само собой говорит об отличных перспективах Arcadia Yachts для дальнейших поступлений заказов на «новострой» и для расширения бизнеса компании.

Ш

ЕДЕВРОМ, привлёкшим внимание множества посетителей выставки, стала трёхпалубная 42-метровая Majesty 140, самая большая яхта из флота верфи, представленного на боут-шоу в этом году. Удостоенная многих наград Majesty 100, прославившаяся, в частности, своей палубой Sky Lounge, также отметилась на выставке, а вместе с ней – и Majesty 62. Находясь на волне успеха, компания представила совершенно новые модификации инновационных яхт своего бренда Nomad Yachts, использующих энергию солнечных батарей. Также Gulf Craft показала новое поколение круизных катеров Oryx Sport Cruiser и лодки для рыбалки Silvercraft. Текущий 2019 год верфь представляет как «Год Nomad Yachts», поскольку именно этот бренд отличается особенным подходом к семейному яхтингу, разрабатывая линейку экологичных яхт. На успешном примере данной линейки по снижению количества вредных выбросов, в будущем экоподход будет внедряться и остальными брендами Gulf Craft. Предвидя большой потенциал рынка для практичных и роскошных яхт с большим запасом хода, компания запускает 3 новейших модели Nomad Yachts под названием SUV (Sports Utility Vessel) Collection. Nomad 95 SUV, Nomad 75 SUV

130

и Nomad 65 SUV имеют полуводоизмещающие гибридные корпуса, дизайн которых позволит судну выдерживать любые морские условия и преодолевать большие расстояния. В новых яхтах использованы более легкие и прочные композитные материалы, такие как кевлар и углеволокно, благодаря чему удаётся достичь повышения стабильности хода и эффективности использования топлива. Буквально через день после выставки эмиратский яхтостроитель позволил взглянуть журналистам на процесс строительства своего ещё одного важнейшего проекта – Majesty 175 – первой мегаяхты компании. 54-метровый флагман впервые был представлен публике на Monaco Yacht Show в 2016 году, а к концу уже этого года запланирована его доставка Владельцу. Запас хода трёхпалубной мегаяхты составит больше 4000 морских миль. Majesty 175 станет первой яхтой в мире, построенной полностью как коммерческое судно с использованием композитных материалов, с валовой вместимостью свыше 500 GT и сертифицированной в соответствии с требованиями Кодекса MCA LY3.

Gulf Craft традиционно удивляет мир и новых счастливых владельцев яхт инновациями в своих премьерах, и это, бесспорно, было подтверждено на прошедшем боут-шоу.

времени, и всё благодаря особенному таланту британского дизайнера Тима Хейвуда. В основе дизайна лежит оригинальный стиль Amels 212, но выделяют проект новые удлинённые палубы, большая платформа для плавания (Swim Platform) площадью 65 кв. м, а также пляжный клуб (Beach Club). Кастомный интерьер яхты был разработан специально под Владельца британской студией Winch Design. Наряду с 7-ю суитами, а также с внутренними и внешними зонами для общения общей площадью 1150 кв. м, Amels 220 предлагает удобства для проведения торжеств и приёма специ-

альных гостей с 7-звёздочным обслуживанием. Дополнительно яхта оборудована гаражом для двух 8-метровых тендеров, местом для хранения водных игрушек, а также позволяет организовать пляжные вечеринки и путешествия в удалённые места. Новая океанская суперъяхта Project WAKA с отличной производительностью, комфортом, высокоэффективным водоизмещающим корпусом в сочетании с системой рекуперации энергии на борту, без сомнения, в очередной раз подтверждает превосходство голландского судостроителя.

AMELS I VOLPINI 2

На опережение Текст: Александр РАЗИНКОВ

НОВАЯ VOLPINI 2 – УНИКАЛЬНА ВО МНОГОМ, НО САМОЕ ГЛАВНОЕ – ЭТО ПЕРВАЯ СУПЕРЪЯХТА ВЕРФИ AMELS С ГИБРИДНОЙ ПРОПУЛЬСИЕЙ И, ВОЗМОЖНО, САМАЯ ЭКОЛОГИЧНАЯ ЛОДКА В МИРЕ

В

ЕРФЬ AMELS давно закрепилась в лидерах индустрии. Её успеху способствовала комбинация факторов. Оставим за скобками внушительную поддержку со стороны материнской компании Damen, кораблестроительного гиганта с почти столетней историей и активами в 120 странах. Amels отличают прежде всего умение предвидеть развитие экономической ситуации, желание рисковать, но по делу, когда это оправданно, и замечательная способность к резким технологическим рывкам. В начале 2000-х решительно никто и подумать не мог, что такие дорогие игрушки, как мегаяхты, можно продавать серийно. А голландцы поверили в это направление – и не прогадали. Сейчас линейка Limited Editions, разработанная с дизайнером Тимом Хейвудом, – без преувеличения самая успешная серия в сегменте свыше 55 метров. Из реальных конкурентов Amels вспоминаются только соседи из

Heesen. Впервые концепция Limited Editions представлена на выставке в Монако (где же еще?) в 2005 году. Все начиналось с модели 171. За прошедшие 14 лет верфь построила несколько десятков серийных лодок. Только на младшей платформе-бестселлере 180 с 2007-го созданы более 20 суперъяхт! Показатели близки к фантастическим, но это правда, а портфель заказов и загрузка верфи расписаны чуть ли не на три года вперед. Очередное важнейшее техническое достижение Amels – 58-метровая Volpini 2. Суперъяхта была спущена на воду в прошлом году. Она уникальна по ряду параметров. Одно остается неизменным – за все, без исключения, экстерьеры Limited Editions отвечает все тот же Тим Хейвуд. Сам дизайнер признает, что он самый счастливый человек на планете, потому что у него практически безграничная свобода, несмотря на то что работает он в общем-то в заданных рамках. Внешне новинка получилась в меру спортив-

ной. Линии палуб изящно выгибаются, создавая привлекательный динамический эффект. При этом лодка получилась невысокой. Она прижата к воде, хотя на интерьере это никак не сказалось – везде на борту высота потолков не ниже комфортных 220 см. Перейдем к уникальности нашей героини. Это первая и единственная представительница платформы Limited Editions 188. Будущим клиентам верфь предлагает уже сразу 200-ю модель длиной 60 м для максимизации валового тоннажа и пространства на борту в пределах лимита в тысячу гросстонн.

VOLPINI 2 – ПЕРВАЯ В МИРЕ (!) СУПЕРЪЯХТА, СООТВЕТСТВУЮЩАЯ НОВЫМ СТРОГИМ ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКИМ ТРЕБОВАНИЯМ МЕЖДУНАРОДНОЙ МОРСКОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ – IMO TIER III SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

VOLPINI 2 I AMELS К тому же Volpini 2, и это самое главное и громкое нововведение, – первая не только для Amels, но и в мире (!) суперъяхта, соответствующая новым строгим экологическим требованиям Международной морской организации – IMO Tier III. Они ограничивают уровень содержания серы в топливе в 0,5% с 2020 года, а также уровня выбросов оксидов азота с судов на 70% с 2021 года. В США и штатовской части Карибов правила уже действуют - с 2016 года. Что это означает в практическом смысле? Снижение уровня содержания серы до 0,5% делает невозможным применение обычного мазута в качестве судового топлива, поэтому придется использовать либо устройства для очистки топлива от примесей, либо дизельное топливо, либо прибегать к альтернативным видам топлива. Чего не сделаешь ради природы.

Amels не стали дожидаться полного введения в силу новых правил и сыграли на опережение. На Volpini 2 установлена первая в истории верфи гибридная система пропульсии с дизельными и электрическими моторами, а также сверхпродвинутая система очистки топлива. На разработку ушло несколько лет, потому что инженерам пришлось полностью переосмыслить структуру моторного отсека. Фактически, они заново придумали, как будут работать в комбинации двигатели, выхлопные трубы, каталитические нейтрализаторы, какое будет использоваться топливо и так далее. И если на коммерческом флоте, танкерах или мегаяхтах длиной больше ста метров в принципе достаточно места для установки специальных скрубберов, нейтрализующих оксиды азота, то в случае с, напомним, 58-метровой Volpini 2, это было практически нереально.

VOLPINI 2 I AMELS Поэтому специалисты Amels решили оборудовать яхту системой снижения токсичности выхлопов. Еще ее называют избирательной каталитической нейтрализацией отработавших газов. Что-то похожее используется на огромных тягачах на суше, но двигатели на яхтах, конечно, в разы больше и мощнее. Одним словом, голландцам пришлось потрудиться. Над решением с Amels работали поставщики двигателей MTU и Veth, швейцарцы Hug Engineering, которые делают системы очистки выхлопных газов, и классификаторы из Регистра Ллойда, потому что

для выхода в море всю конструкцию надо было еще и сертифицировать по всем стандартам. Что получилось в итоге: в моторном отсеке установили хранилища с жидким реагентом из высокоочищенной мочевины и деминерализованной воды. Реагент впрыскивается в выхлопы и расщепляет их на безвредные для экологии азот и воду, а также небольшое количество углекислого газа. Результаты впечатляют, надо признать.

Amels сообщает, что система позволяет снижать выбросы оксидов азота сразу на 90% по сравнению со стандартным

режимом. Пока ее по правилам надо использовать только в США, но вскоре особой зоной станет и Балтийское море. Реагента на борту Volpini 2 хватает на полторы тысячи морских миль, но потенциально можно загрузить больше и увеличить показатель до 4500-5000 миль, то есть на весь максимальный запас хода яхты на экономичных 13 узлах. Над декором Volpini 2 работала британская студия Reymond Langton Design. Одно из самых востребованных бюро в мире заслужило сотрудничество с Amels не своим громким именем и даже не столько за счет впечатляющего портфолио (всех проектов не перечислить, вспомним хотя бы Kismet, Lady Lara, Serene, Mogambo, Titan, Amaryllis и так далее), а на основании честного конкурса, в котором участвовали и другие лидеры отрасли.

RLD на этапе проработки модели предложили самую интересную концепцию, которую в итоге утвердили на верфи. Лодку, как обычно для Amels, начали строить on spec, включая интерьер, а когда владелец подписал контракт на покупку, он не стал вносить глобальных изменений. Разве что, попросил убрать стену между спальней и кабинетом в мастере, чтобы сделать его максимально большим. В каюте владельца, кстати, есть и откидной балкон, открывающийся нажатием кнопки. «Интерьер получился молодым, свежим, авангардным, – говорит Паскаль Раймон из Reymond Langton Design. – Он очень красивый, и по проработке деталей и структуре пространства соответствует скорее 70-метровой яхте».

Volpini 2 – царство света, который проникает внутрь через огромные окна. В качестве основного цвета дизайнеры выбрали белый, дополнив его бежевыми, серыми, бирюзовыми деталями. «Мы намеренно скрыли в специальных нишах двери, лампы и вообще источники света, телевизоры, кнопки, шкафы, чтобы создать наиболее полное восприятие пространства», – отмечает Раймон. Планировка Volpini 2 – достаточно стандартная, так что лодка получила большой сандек с джакузи, много открытых зон, солидный пляжный клуб. Успешно сдав Volpini 2, Amels трансформировала платформу 188 в 200, длина новых лодок, которые предлагают клиентам, составит 60 м. Дополнительные пару метров будут использованы для увеличения пляжного клуба. кстерьер Limited Editions 200 разработал Тим Хэйвуд, а что касается интерьера, то верфь рассматривает несколько разных предложений от топовых студий, в том числе Reymond Langton Design. Первую «двухсотку» верфь планирует построить к весне 2021 года.

Однако фундаментальные качества и преимущества яхты закладываются на этапе проектирования и подбора первоклассных поставщиков

оборудования, максимально отвечающих данному проекту. Важны и самые незначительные детали, такие как размещение точек wi-fi или датчиков температуры и влажности, анализ воздушных потоков (чтобы не дуло в голову) системы вентиляции и кондиционирования.

НА ГЛУБИНЕ I КАШАЛОТЫ

Битва гигантов Текст: Тамара БОГАТЫРЁВА

О ТОМ, КАКАЯ НА САМОМ ДЕЛЕ ЖИЗНЬ БУРЛИТ В МОРСКИХ ГЛУБИНАХ, НАМ В БОЛЬШИНСТВЕ СЛУЧАЕВ ОСТАЁТСЯ ТОЛЬКО ДОГАДЫВАТЬСЯ. РАСПОЛАГАЯ ТЕМИ, ОТНОСИТЕЛЬНО НЕМНОГОЧИСЛЕННЫМИ ДАННЫМИ, КОТОРЫЕ ЕСТЬ У НАУЧНОГО СООБЩЕСТВА, МОЖНО С УВЕРЕННОСТЬЮ СКАЗАТЬ, ЧТО САМЫЕ ИНТЕРЕСНЫЕ ОТКРЫТИЯ ЕЩЁ ВПЕРЕДИ

О

ДНИМ ИЗ древних видов морских гигантов, существующих на планете, является кашалот. Это млекопитающее исполинских размеров обитает во всех водах Мирового океана. Кашалот относится к отряду китообразных и является единственным представителем семейства кашалотовых. Он не перестаёт удивлять как своим анатомическим строением, так и поведением и особенностями питания. Интересно, что ещё пару сотен лет назад предки кашалотов превышали в размерах сегодняшних представителей почти в 2 раза, но из-за активного китобойного промысла вид значительно уменьшился в размерах. Так, на сегодняшний день, средняя длина самцов 20 метров, а вес около 50 тонн. Ранее вес самцов доходил до 100 тонн. Существенное различие в размерах наблюдается у самцов и самок. Самки гораздо меньше, они вырастают всего до 13 метров и весят около 15 тонн. Кашалота сложно перепутать с другими китами, так как одна третья часть его тела – это голова. Он является рекордсменом среди всех живых

140

существ по весу мозга, масса которого может достигать 9 кг. Однако, такая большая голова у него не поэтому. В голове кашалота размещён так называемый спермацетовый мешок. Это уникальное образование, состоящее из губчатой ткани, пропитанной веществом, изменяющим свои физические свойства в зависимости от температуры. Спермацет твердеет, превращаясь в воскообразное вещество, в результате охлаждения жидкого жира. Спермацетовый орган есть только у кашалота, и, имея сложную структуру, выполняет ряд жизненно необходимых задач. Так, например, с помощью спермацетового мешка, кашалот может изменять свою плавучесть. Приспосабливаясь к плотности воды, не только на поверхности тропических вод, но и на боль-

шой глубине, где вода значительно холоднее, и, следовательно, имеет более высокую плотность. Кашалот самостоятельно регулирует температуру спермацетового мешка притоком крови через густую сеть капилляров, и при подъёме из глубины нагревает его на несколько градусов. В жидком и в твёрдом состоянии спермацет легче плотности воды. Чтобы обеспечивать нулевую плавучесть на всех глубинах до 200 метров, достаточно изменять температуру в пределах 3 градусов. Также, при помощи спермацетового мешка, кашалот направляет издаваемые носовым каналом короткие щелчки ультразвуковой частоты для поиска добычи и ориентирования. Кит может определить обстановку в радиусе 500 метров, обнаружить жертву, её размер

ПАРУ СОТЕН ЛЕТ НАЗАД ПРЕДКИ КАШАЛОТОВ ПРЕВЫШАЛИ В РАЗМЕРАХ СЕГОДНЯШНИХ ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛЕЙ ПОЧТИ В 2 РАЗА, НО ИЗ-ЗА АКТИВНОГО КИТОБОЙНОГО ПРОМЫСЛА ВИД ЗНАЧИТЕЛЬНО УМЕНЬШИЛСЯ В РАЗМЕРАХ

и местоположение. Такая мощная эхолокация необходима кашалоту, так как он опускается в батиальную зону (от 1000 м до 3000 м), куда проникает маленький процент света. Обтекаемые тела кашалотов приспособлены для марафонских погружений в области с огромным давлением. Было зарегистрировано погружение до 2500 метров глубины, а самая большая продолжительность – 1 час 52 минуты. Особенностями, позволяющими кашалотам нырять глубже и дольше остальных китообразных, являются кровеносная и дыхательная системы. Вдыхая, кашалот замещает 90% воздуха в лёгких (для сравнения люди при вдохе замещают 15%). Его мышцы богаты миоглобином – кислородосвязывающим белком,

SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

который способствует созданию кислородного резерва в мышцах, восполняя временную нехватку и помогая кашалоту удерживать в 10 раз больше кислорода чем могут удерживать мышцы людей. Покидая поверхность воды, его метаболизм замедляется, кровь приливает к жизненно важным органам, таким как сердце и мозг. Грудная полость кита гибкая и выдерживает повышенное давление. Чтобы избежать декомпрессии, кит может отключать лёгкие и продолжать подавать кислород в мозг. Таким образом кашалот может оставаться под водой до 2 часов, и опускаться на значительную глубину, где и начинается самое интересное. Кашалот охотится на своё любимое лакомство – глубоководного гигантско-

го кальмара. Обычно, до тех глубин, где охотится кашалот, его конкуренты не опускаются, поэтому после 1000 м ему практически никто не мешает. Уловив вблизи гигантского кальмара, кашалот начинает преследование. Гигантский кальмар, длина которого может достигать 11 метров, обладает прекрасным зрением и может заметить любую тень благодаря своему 27-сантиметровому в диаметре глазу. Завидев опасность, кальмар пытается ускользнуть. Обладая способностью быстро передвигаться, кальмар затягивает воду в полость мантии (туловища) и выталкивает её при помощи мышц через специальный сифон. Большая скорость так же развивается благодаря нулевой плавучести из-за содержания в тканях хлорида аммония.

141

НА ГЛУБИНЕ I КАШАЛОТЫ

Однако ускользнуть получается не всегда, поэтому, оказавшись сдавленным 20-сантиметровыми зубами кашалота, кальмар начинает отбиваться. Его 8 обычных щупалец и 2 ловчих, внутренняя сторона которых покрыта 6-сантиметровыми присосками с вращающимися крючьями, каждый из которых может вонзиться на 5 сантиметров в жировой слой кита, обхватывают голову кашалота в борьбе за жизнь. Эти 2 гиганта могут бороться долгое время, нанося друг другу увечья. Откусив пару щупалец, кашалот может упустить кальмара и тот благополучно отрастит себе новые, оставив на память кашалоту пятна от присосок на туловище, размером с блюдце. Кашалот, не только прекрасный ныряльщик, но и отменный прыгун, который может целиком выскочить из воды. Он использует это умение в борьбе с гигантским кальмаром. Выпрыгивая вместе с обвитым кальмаром, он бьет его со всей силы по поверхности воды, чтобы нанести травмы и дезориентировать. Кальмар же в свою очередь, тянет кашалота на дно, чтобы утопить его. Чем дольше кашалот находится на глубине, тем вероятней победа кальмара. Однако, их силы неравны. Средних

142

размеров кашалот имеет массу 35 тонн, а крупный кальмар 200-300 кг. И чаще всего, кальмар становится отличным обедом для кашалота, которому в день требуется в среднем 1 тонна еды, для поддержания нормальной жизнедеятельности. Хотя были случаи, когда, проглотив слишком большого кальмара, кашалот мог и подавиться. Он не пережевывает пищу, а проглатывает целиком, и кальмар ещё какое-то время остаётся живым и пытается вылезти из желудка кита, вытаскивая все те же щупальца наружу. Кальмары сами по себе весьма удивительные, а их живой интеллект позволяет быстро принимать решения

в разных ситуациях. В их жилах течёт богатая медью голубая кровь. В мире насчитывается около 8 видов гигантских кальмаров. Все они имеют мантию и голову, в центре которой располагается 15 сантиметровый клюв. Вокруг него растут щупальца, доставляющие пойманную добычу для перемалывания. Внутри клюва есть язык, покрытый мелкими зубчиками разной формы для перетирания пищи и проталкивания её в пищевод. На голове кальмара расположены достаточно большие глаза, а на мантии 2 плавника. Во время опасности кальмар может выпускать чернила. Питается рыбой, и не брезгует своими сородичами более мелких размеров.

Люди не употребляют в пищу гигантских кальмаров, так как их мясо рыхлое и пахнет аммиаком. Поэтому кроме кашалота взрослым особям никто не угрожает. А вот молодняку стоит опасаться акул и других хищников. И кашалот, и кальмар в целом обладают спокойным поведением и размеренным темпом передвижения, но могут проявлять агрессию, и развивать большие скорости. Известен ни один случай, когда кашалоты разбивали головой китобойные судна, а гигантские кальмары переворачивали лодки. Хотя это были лишь ответные реакции на агрессивные нападения людей. Сегодня кашалоты охраняются на законодательном уровне, но часть из них погибает из-за столкновения с судами или случайного заглатывания технического мусора. Поэтому отдыхая на пляжах или путешествуя на лодках, следите за тем, чтобы пластик и другой мусор не попадали в океан. А увидев плавающий пакет, не ленитесь достать его, возможно, вы спасёте жизнь какому-нибудь прекрасному подводному существу. Знакомство человека с Мировым океаном продолжается. Мало кого оставляют равнодушными величественные создания, которые приветливо выпрыгивают из воды, и бьют огромными хвостами по серебристой поверхности океана, навсегда оставляя эти картины в памяти людей.

BMW X5 XDRIVE 30D I АВТОНОВОСТИ

В

СВОЕ время на постсоветском пространстве ходил неполиткорректный, «черный» анекдот о больших ноздрях и бесплатном воздухе. Впервые увидев фотографии нового BMW X5 в кузове G05 я почему-то вспомнил именно о той шутке-прибаутке – было сложно понять, к чему новому кроссоверу такие «ноздри». Но я явно поторопил события. Во-первых, при личной встрече оказалось, что массивная фальшрадиаторная решетка «Иксу» вполне идет и не вызывает отторжения. Ну, а во-вторых, следом за ним последовали BMW X7 и обновленная седьмая серия. И уж там с фирменными бээмвэшными «ноздрями» все куда более неоднозначно. Сильно останавливаться на внешности Х5 не буду – вы и сами все можете

видеть: машина стала больше похожей на молодежный Х3, но при этом сохранила большинство фирменных элементов пятых «Иксов» былых лет. Староверам Баварского Мотостроительного могут не понравиться ломанная линия вдоль кузова и сильно измененная задняя оптика, но в контексте конкретно этого кузова ни один элемент не выглядит чужеродным. Тем более, что тестовый автомобиль облачен в фирменный М-пакет с обилием черных элементов Shadow Line, а также темно-темно-синий цвет Carbon Black. Если же вы, как и Мадонна в промо-короткометражке «Звезда», считаете, что «вас окружает слишком много черного цвета», не беда – для Х5-го доступны, по меньшей мере, семь цветовых решений, плюс бесконечно широкая палитра программы Individual.

145

АВТОНОВОСТИ I BMW X5 XDRIVE 30D Переезд на платформу CLAR, на которой сейчас построена львиная доля автомобилей баварской марки, дался «Иксу» без особых проблем – машина не только сохранила узнаваемые пропорции, но и не потеряла в эргономике и функционале. Например, багажник с двустворчатой системой доступа по-прежнему удобен благодаря небольшой погрузочной высоте и правильной геометрической форме. Плюс, процесс погрузки тяжелой поклажи облегчает полноценная пневмоподвеска, которая намеренно «просаживает» Х5, когда тот стоит на месте. Завзятые семьянины, правда, расстроятся, что отныне Х5 нельзя заказать в семиместном исполнении – теперь эта привилегия отдана на откуп флагманскому Х7. Людям невысокого и среднего роста на заднем ряду будет максимально комфортно, но если вы дружите с Шакилом О’Нилом, то лучше попросите его присесть на переднее сиденье. Тем более, что фронтальные кресла BMW, в независимости от комфортной или спортивной направленности, обладают отличным профилем и достаточной боковой поддержкой. Да, даже в комфортном варианте. В случае с BMW Х5 мне удалось впервые познакомиться с новой архитектурой торпедо, которая станет привычной на ближайшие пару лет – ее, помимо Х5, уже унаследовали 8 серия, Х7 и Z4. В целом, все по-прежнему организовано грамотно, очень элегантно и эстетично, но обилие сенсорных панелей на центральном тоннеле вынуждает слишком уж часто тянуться в бардачок за тряпочкой для стекла, чтобы стереть отпечатки и жирные разводы. Кнопки блока на тоннеле имеют сенсорную отдачу, что упрощает управление вслепую, однако их примерное расположение волей-неволей приходится запоминать. Как и учиться вслепую управлять светом – традиционная немецкая «шайба» заменена блоком из кнопок. Похоже, что нынешнее автомобилей BMW – это промежуточное звено между полностью «аналоговыми» машинами ХХ века и автономными футуромобилями, которые станут явью лет через 20. Во всяком случае, здесь все на это намекает – как будто фактор отвлечения на дорогу (именно на дорогу, а не от дороги) становится все менее значимым. И, к счастью или сожалению, это действительно так. Наверное, по этой причине приборная панель с вынесенными на периметр спидометром и тахометром больше похожа на маленький телевизор, нежели на инструментарий. Но оперировать этим «чистилищем» между

146

прошлым и будущим легко – ничего не раздражает. К тому же в салоне BMW (как и полагается BMW) по-прежнему нет кричащих элементов и китча, что выгодно выделяет его на фоне ударившихся во все тяжкие конкурентов. Но было бы неправильно рассматривать Х5 исключительно как гаджет или модный аксессуар, который не выйдет из моды несколько лет. Автомобили BMW – независимо от того, идет ли речь о дерзкой М2 или представительской «семерке», — это, прежде всего, водительский опыт и удовольствие от управления автомобилем. И в этом отношении наметились перемены.

В лучшую сторону. Похоже, что к четвертому поколению Х5-го мюнхенским инженерам все же удалось побороть те две проблемы, которые преследовали знаменитый кроссовер всю его жизнь. Речь идет о недостаточной жесткости кузова и слабой, на фоне конкурентов, шумоизоляции. Убив два этих недуга, баварцы не только почистили себе карму, но и повысили общий комфорт поездки в автомобиле. Добавим к этому адаптивную пневматическую подвеску со спортивными настройками, которая включена в М-пакет – и получится, что новый BMW X5 является самым собранным, SEA TRIAL №12 l spring 2019

BMW X5 XDRIVE 30D I АВТОНОВОСТИ

самым цельным SUV модельного ряда BMW среди тех машин, на которых мне удалось поездить. И даже шины runflat ему не помеха. Правда, рулевое управление стало чуть более смазанным, но это – малая жертва за полученные бонусы. Наверное, такая настройка шасси – тоже ненавязчивая прелюдия к тому будущему, в котором роль водителя будет сведена к минимуму. Что, впрочем, не мешает Х5 быть одним из самых отменно управляемых автомобилей в классе – тут ему в конкуренты годится только Porsche Cayenne. Что касается двигателя и коробки передач – а тестовый автомобиль оснащен трёхлитровым турбодизелем мощностью 265 лошадиных сил, который работает в паре с 8-ступенчатым «автоматом», – то этот дуэт работает прекрасно и самозабвенно, эффективно реализуя 620 Нм тяги через полноприводную трансмиссию xDrive. 6.5 секунд до «сотни» версии 30d не поражают воображение, но для любителей взрывной динамики есть версии M50d и 50i, которые разменивают первую сотню спустя 5.2 и 4.7 секунды соответственно. Снежная зима, заставшая Харьков, подарила возможность проверить новый «Икс» не только в его привычной среде обитания – то есть на асфальтовых дорогах, залитых ядреной смесью соли и песка, - но и в девственных заметах, по которым еще не ступало колесо. Тем более, низкопрофильное. Согласно представленным техническим характеристикам, нынешний Х5 является самым серьезным внедорожником в своем роду: за счет коротких свесов у него достойные углы въезда и съезда – 25,2 и 22,3 градуса, плюс он может преодолевать броды глубиной более полуметра. Тем не менее, не стоит обманываться – при всех преле- стях полного привода xDrive, BMW X5 не является настоящим покорителем

целины и может довольно быстро «сесть» на свое аэродинамически просчитанное брюхо. Способствовать этому будут как широкие дорожные шины, так и широкая колея кроссовера. За время тест-драйва Х5 дважды оказывался на животе и не по своей вине, однако трактор не понадобился ни в одном из случаев – хватило «ручного труда». Плюс, против машины играл бесцеремонный, перемерзший, рыхлый снег, на котором и человеку тяжело устоять. Так что, едва ли можно говорить о том, что автомобиль BMW разочаровал. Наверное, наобо-

рот – даже слегка превзошел ожидания, тем самым слегка опьянив нас вседозволенностью. А это качество отличает именно лучшие машины. Новый BMW X5 стал логическим продолжением устоявшихся традиций, необходимым шагом вперед для BMW, который позволит ему конкурировать с соперниками из Daimler и VAG, а также превосходить их. Остается лишь надеяться, что будущее – с его электромобилями и автопилотами – не убьет ядро The Ultimate Driving Machine. Пока же с ним все в полном порядке.

Beautiful Side of Sailing ЗНАКОМЬТЕСЬ: САМЫЙ КРАСИВЫЙ И, НА ДАННЫЙ МОМЕНТ, ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ ЖЕНСКИЙ ЭКИПАЖ В КИЕВСКОМ ГОНОЧНОМ ЯХТ-КЛУБЕ – DEVCHULI RACING TEAM!

А

БСОЛЮТНО ВСЕ резиденты Клуба – яхтсмены-любители, большинство из которых не имели опыта хождения под парусами и первый раз вышли именно на яхтах Platu 25. Участницы Devchuli Racing Team – не исключение, их любовь к яхтингу началась 4 года назад и продолжается до сих пор. Встретившись однажды, они создали команду с бессменным составом с 2016 года. Баковая – Ксения Березная, контролирует позицию лодки во время старта, ответственна за постановку и уборку самого красивого паруса – спинакера. В обычной жизни работает в банке уже 16 лет, воспитывает 10-летнего сына, который также горячо полюбил парусный спорт и имеет хорошие результаты. Кроме парусного спорта Ксения увлекается бегом и

сайклом. Недавно пробежала полумарафон. Питмен – Алена Степанова, в её обязанности входит «настройка пианино» - регулирование разного рода веревок для управления парусами, а также уборка спинакера. По специальности инженер-строитель, в профессиональной деятельности 15 лет инженер по технической инвентаризации объектов недвижимости, дочке 28 лет, воспитывают внучку 6 лет. Шкотовая – Наталья Николаева, управляет стакселем и спинакером. Работает 19 лет в банке, воспитывает сына 18 лет и дочь 14 лет. Наташа также активно занимается большим теннисом и плаванием, участвует в различных украинских и международных соревнованиях. В прошлом году переплыла Босфор.

Рулевая – Светлана Теличенко, управляет лодкой, принимает все тактические решения. В профессиональной жизни - руководитель службы заказчика в сфере строительства. Кроме того, увлекается плаванием и выступает на международных соревнованиях категории Masters. Позицию тактика занимает профессиональный яхтсмен-инструктор Kiev Racing Yacht Club. Он дает необходимую информацию перед и во время гонок, а также контролирует правильность выполнения работы на каждой позиции. Девушки планомерно идут к результату – в их копилке внушительное количество достижений. Особенно хочется выделить победу в Кубке Kiev Racing Yacht Club 2017 года, первое место в Чемпионате Киева 2018 и призовые места в Чемпионатах Украины 2017 и 2018 годов.

УКРАИНА I НОВОСТИ Редакция SEA TRIAL задала пару вопросов команде Devchuli: S.T. В вашем экипаже 4 девушки, у вас прекрасные взаимоотношения, вы находите время на регулярные тренировки и успешно выступаете на соревнованиях. Как вам это удается? В чем секрет экипажа Devchuli Racing Team?

D.R.T. В первую очередь, нас объединяет общая цель, командный дух, взаимоуважение и харизма. Для нас наша команда – это вторая семья уже 4 года, и кажется, что мы практически всю жизнь знаем друг друга. Мы очень внимательно планируем своё лето, чтобы у парусного спорта всегда были приоритетные позиции в нашем графике, так как никакое другое хобби не вносит в нашу жизнь столько ярких эмоций и адреналина. Мы регулярно выходим на тренировки в 6 утра, чтобы успеть потренироваться до рабочего дня. Одним из секретов является всегда позитивная и весёлая атмосфера в коллективе. Многие уверенны, что хорошее чувство юмора и способность шутить над собой в любой самой сложной ситуацией – и есть наше главное оружие на воде!

S.T. В каких регатах вы планируете принять участие в сезоне 2019 и на какой результат рассчитываете?

D.R.T. В этом году мы вновь хотим принять участие в максимальном количестве всеукраинских регат и в очередной раз доказать, что Devchuli являются лучшим экипажем страны!

S.T. Чтобы вы бы посоветовали девушкам, которые хотят попробовать себя в яхтинге?

D.R.T. Надо отбросить стереотипы, что яхтинг – это исключительно мужской вид спорта. Парусный спорт тем и притягателен, что в нем нет ограничений по полу, возрасту и уровню подготовки. В этом увлечении каждый может найти себя и овладеть нужными навыками. Буквально пару месяцев назад, путешествуя на яхте по Греции, на одном из островов познакомились с экипажем, участвующим в местной регате. Экипаж состоял из жизнерадостных норвежек лет 70-ти, которые весело и беззаботно делились с нами эмоциями после длинного гоночного дня, что лишний раз убедило нас в том, что этот спорт не имеет никаких лимитов. Команда Devchuli на своём примере доказывает, что яхтинг по силам даже хрупким девушкам! Мы настоятельно рекомендуем попробовать себя в парусном спорте, невзирая на Вашу занятость и тяжелые трудовые будни, ведь для нас это уже давно не аргумент.

Пирамида долголетия Edem Resort: как поставить время на паузу

«Я

ЗНАКОМ с медициной 25 лет. За это время я сумел понять один важный постулат: опыт и желание что-то менять – это основные двигатели любого роста и развития. Опыт стал моим наставником и самым главным критиком, а желание – основным мотиватором. Почти два года ми с командой практикуем anti-age медицину в Центре восстановления здоровья Edem Resort. В начале нашего пути мы имели опыт, практику и поставили перед собой цель – сделать гостя здоровым. Практически поддерживали фанатичное желание гостя вести правильный и здоровый образ жизни. Но мы споткнулись… Это был конечный пункт назначения, а необходимо было найти начало, ведь, чтобы достичь цели, прежде всего, необходимо сделать первый шаг. Нужен был план, ведь тело – это взаимосвязанная система, она имеет свои механизмы взаимодействия. Мы же должны научиться управлять этой системой.

152

И я задумался: из чего на самом деле складывается уход за собой? Однозначно, мы имеем десятки ресурсов в своем распоряжении. Гугл, подруга, косметолог или коллега по роботе становятся нашими докторами. Но во всем этом нет системы, целостности. Именно поэтому я решил создать команду, которая будет главным проводником на пути к физической и духовной гармонии. Объединив знания, инновации и практику, я получил результат – пирамиду долголетия, бизнес-план для реализации здоровой и счастливой жизни. Первая ступень – это этап самоосознания. Послушайте свое тело и мысли. Спросите себя: а живу ли я в гармонии с собой? Понимаю ли себя? Сбалансируйте мысли, стабилизируйте психику. Таким образом, вы построите фундамент для своего совершенствования. Следующее – это аудит здоровья. Познайте особенности своего организма. Проведите детальное обследование тела у специалистов. Они создадут ваш генетический паспорт – оценят состояние ваших органов, их взаимодействие.

Благодаря этому вы научитесь “читать” свой организм, и он сам задаст вам вектор и подскажет, в каком направлении необходимо двигаться, какие болезни следует вылечить и что делать, чтобы не допустить в дальнейшем ошибок и разного рода диссонансов. Вы познакомились со своим телом. Теперь вы знаете его характер, слабые стороны. Оно поставило вам задание. Поэтому следующий шаг – их решение или health management. Избавьтесь от причины, а не от симптомов. Команда докторов поможет излечить болезни, отрегулировать работу органов и систем, стратифицировать риски развития болезней. Ви приблизились к своей мечте, очистили разум и тело от разрушителей вашего счастья. Многие думают, что на этом все и заканчивается, сбиваются этим с толку и … начинают все сначала. Эта ступень только лишь знакомит нас со здоровым образом жизни. К ней необходимо прийти, но не стоит с нее начинать. Вы совершенствуетесь благодаря спорту, питанию, правильному распорядку дня и здоровому сну. Здесь

Стабилизация внутреннего состояния: самоидентификация

не существует универсального правила здоровья. Вы уникальны, поэтому и подход должен быть индивидуальным. Еще один шаг – и вершина почти перед вами. Вы научились заботиться о своем здоровье, вы в диалоге со своим разумом и телом. Но это не повод для остановки, это возможность идти вперед. Инновации – новый объект познания. Медицина анти-старения создает каждый раз все новые и новые эффективные методики и делает новые открытия. Ваше понимание своего тела становится более глубокими, вы можете уже понять причины и найти объяснения благодаря новейшим технологиям в этой области медицины. По сути, открываются новые ресурсы, чтобы замедлить биологические часы. Именно поэтому 50% своего рабочего времени я уделяю инновациям в сфере искусственного интеллекта, создания Big Data, вхожу в Советы по надзору топовых изобретателей в сфере ІТ-технологий. Вершину видят не все, но те, кто покорил ее, знают и понимают ее цену. Счастье – это гармония между физическим и духовным здоровьем. Счастье означает долголетие, желание развиваться, чувствовать в себе силы и непреодолимое желание творить! А для этого важно приостановить процесс старения, замедлить его. И когда ты стоишь на вершине, то все кажется тебе под силу!» Главный врач Центра восстановления здоровья, международный эксперт в сфере anti-age медицины и член Европейской академии естественных наук, Алексей Башкирцев.
