Super Yacht Makes Double Collision at Genova Old Harbour

A 32 meter super yacht titled m/y Claremont was filmed and then shared on social media as it made a double collision at Marina di Porto Antico in Genova, Liguria, Italy on the afternoon of Sunday 25 July.  Claremont was filmed as first it collided on two moored small ribs while going astern, and then went forward and crashed on a pontoon with its bow.  In this collision the yacht is also reported to have cut a cable.  No one was injured in the collision, as the Guardia Costiera is investigating the incident, although a thesis is that the yacht had gearing malfunction during the manoeuvring operation.  
Motor yacht Claremont is a custom VBG Super Yachts Catodon 103, build in Yalova, Turkey in 2009 to a fully inhouse design.  Build in cold moulding, wood shell and then covered in fiberglass and epoxy Claremont was also VBG first and smallest yacht to date, as this was followed by two larger fully custom yachts of forty meters in 2010 and a 39 meter in 2015.

The mahogany and polished stainless steel detailing, which has both technical and design functions, pays stylistic tribute to the authentic Riva tradition.  In the cockpit, designed for maximum conviviality, the dining area can easily become a spacious sun pad when needed, by lowering the table for eight and covering it with cushions.  Perfectly integrated into the yacht’s aerodynamic lines, the sun deck offers a place both to relax in total privacy and to pilot the boat from a privileged position, with a generous central sun pad of about four square metres, while forward, the central section of the second helm station is flanked by sofas on both the port and starboard sides. The refined combination of sand-coloured oak and light or dark lacquer is a distinctive feature of the entire main deck, as well as of the yacht’s interiors as a whole. The owner can also opt for rosewood as an alternative.  In the standard layout, Riva 76 Perseo Super accommodates guests on the lower deck in three cabins, all with en-suite bathrooms, but the owner can also request a fourth cabin, configured as always to ensure optimum comfort and liveability. Completing the lower deck are a small lounge and a separate galley.  The entire area is designed to ensure the best possible acoustic insulation, with supplementary soundproofing in all the forward and aft walls of the owner’s suite.  Already sold out for 2021 and available production entering well into 2022, Riva 76 Perseo Super will be officially presented at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival.

Azimut Magellano Ends Aground in Pwhelli

A sixteen meter Azimut explorer yacht ended aground just outside of Pwhelli Marina in North Wales, to the west of Great Britain.  This accident happened early morning July 21, and salvage operations where being prepared to be done on the evening of the same day, when a higher tide was planned to arrive.  Reports say two persons where onboard and no one suffered injuries.  Apparently this breakwater reef is difficult to visually spot when there is a medium tide, as it becomes submerged, and lays in position to starboard of the exit channel from Pwhelli Marina.
The Azimut in this accident is a 53 Magellano as designed by Cor D.Rover and produced since 2013.  The Magellano 53 came out as a replacement and further development of the Magellano 50.  The Magellano range was a thorough investment in research and design into the explorer yacht segment, studying into minimizing the hump characterizing both planning and semi-displacement hulls in around fifteen knots of speed, with the range debuting with the 74 in 2009.

Overmarine Mangusta Super Yacht Aground in Venice

A 46 meter Overmarine Mangusta super yacht titled m/y Q95 ended on a sand bank in the entrance of the Venice canal on the seventeen July.  The accident happened at the entrance of the canal between Lido and the Sant Elena marina.  The yacht captain managed to free up the Mangusta super yacht with out assistance, but following the grounding he was followed by the Venice coast guard to the Lido of Sette Metri destination.  No injuries happened and the super yacht is reported to have sustained no particular damage.
M/y Q95 is the first Overmarine Mangusta Oceano 46 as designed by Stefano Righini and delivered in 2018.  The 46 was the second Oceano model following the Ocean 42 which arrived in 2016, with the line extended with the just launched Oceano 50 a couple of weeks ago.

Project: Overmarine Mangusta 165 Rev

Overmarine present the project for the new revolutionary Mangusta 165 Rev.  The fifty metre flagship of the new Maxi Open Rev series, is a celebration of design and functionality, comfort and great performances, is now ready to cruise the seas leaving behind her unmistakable wake.  This is a project developed jointly by Overmarine's Engineering Department in collaboration with renowned designer Igor Lobanov, who designed the Mangusta 104 Rev which launched this 2021 year, and take over from Stefano Righini who designed the Open series up and before these two new models.  The 165 Rev stands out for her aggressive profile featuring rounded, curved shapes typical of Mangusta's iconic style. Her slender, dynamic lines draw inspiration, as the designer explains from 1930s sporty cars. This means classic, timeless beauty, which, however, on this model, goes hand in hand with dramatically scaled-up performances and a refreshed, renovated concept of lifestyle.  Key elements on the 165 Rev, just like on all Mangusta yachts, are the impressive onboard volumes, the comfort of en plein air areas, and the smooth, uninterrupted flow between the interiors and exteriors. On this fifty meter super sport yacht, the Owner can decide to experience life at sea in the utmost privacy or relax in one of the many convivial areas, enjoying his holiday surrounded by a different landscape every day and quickly moving from one destination to the next; for example, waking up in Portofino and sipping a cocktail in front of Costa Smeralda a few hours later.  One of the brand-new features on this yacht is the beach area: indeed, the aft door opens like the roof of a convertible sporty car, revealing a magnificent 36 square meters, fully-equipped lounge area on the sea. The side garage can fit a tender and two jet-skis, allowing guests to ride the waves whenever they feel like. On the sundeck is a large convivial space furnished with comfortable sofas and a bar located amidships, while the huge forward area offers the Owner and his guests a sunbathing area and an infinity pool, where they can indulge in pure relaxation. The interiors have been styled by Milan-based architecture firm M2 atelier using warm colour shades and implementing contemporary solutions aimed at making the most of natural light, which is the key element on this vessel. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the salon minimise the division between interiors and exteriors, and create a cosy, sophisticated atmosphere. The wonderful side foldable terraces, flawlessly integrated in the yacht profile, open up on breath taking views. In this way, the day area is flooded by the sun and surrounded by the sea, offering a unique immersive experience. The main salon features a pleasant sofa lounge set and a large dining area, which also includes a bright bar counter illuminated by three skylights that let through plenty of natural light. Also on the main deck is the airy master stateroom; a real open-space loft on two levels having as its core element the elongated side windows and ensuring maximum privacy to the Owner, who has also available a lounge area and an exclusive personal office. From there, access is gained to the night area with full-beam bathroom.  The lower deck has been entirely used for guest accommodation, and can be customised to offer a range of solutions with up to five cabins; four guest cabins plus a VIP suite or 4 cabins plus a media and lounge area or a gym.  Such impressive layout flexibility is matched by outstanding performance versatility, thanks to a propulsion system with four MTU 2600hp engines and with Kamewa waterjets propulsion, which push the yacht to an exhilarating maximum speed of 34 knots while limiting consumption. Veem gyro stabilizers ensure smooth, comfortable cruising event at low speeds and in all sea conditions, taking the vessel's range up to 650 miles.

Project: Tankoa T55 Sportiva

Tankoa has unveiled its new Linea Sportiva by Luca Dini in a live Zoom event. Conceived and designed to expand the market offering of the Genoa-based boutique brand, the first model in the dynamic series is the Sportiva 55 rated at under 500GT that falls between a larger and smaller version. Considerable real estate is devoted to the Beach Club, which is actually more of a main deck cockpit and comprises a swimming pool sunk into the terraced aft deck with access to a Spa zone on the lower deck complete with gym and sauna, as well as a side-loading garage for water toys. A novel highlight of the whole area is a large hull window that is partially underwater that can be enjoyed either under way or at anchor. The guest accommodation on the lower deck consists of four ensuite cabins, although a five cabins version has already been developed. The galley is also on the lower deck, while the crew accommodation is placed forward. The main deck layout is asymmetrical with a circular dining area connecting the open aft deck and main salon, but where the master stateroom begins it is full-beam to port with a walkway to starboard with a built-in chaise longue and Jacuzzi as well as a private sauna. Unusually, there is also a central staircase leading from the owner’s personal foredeck to the forward bridge deck which is designed to be used as an open-air cinema when at anchor. A 7-metre tender, crew tender and Sea-Doo are stowed on the open foredeck but are hidden from view by the bulwarks. This Suite on the Sea concept offers an innovative yet flexible layout solution that also helps to keep the gross tonnage at below 500GT. The bridge deck has a sky lounge, an extendable table for al fresco dining and lounging space on the aft deck. The sun deck is partially shaded by the hard top and features a wet bar by the forward hot tub and plenty of sun lounging space. ith a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the Sportiva 55 has a top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. Her range at an economic speed of 12 knots is 3,800nm. Although the 55 is closest to the needs of Tankoa's current client base, the shipyard also asked Luca Dini to retain the same family feeling in a fast, 45-metre all-aluminium version and scale it up to a larger and more comfortable 65-metre proposal.

New Launch: Alia 36m Support Vessel

Alia has launched hull number 361, what is a 36 meter Support Vessel titled Phi Phantom. A sleek, muscular new predator the 36m custom support vessel comes from a design by Cor D.Rover with naval architecture by Dutch firm Van Oossanen. In May 2021 the Turkish yard painstakingly drove the fully aluminium yacht out of the building halls and lifted it into the water in Antalya using a 200-tonne travel lift. Phi Phantom, part of the Phi Project, is a superb example of the yard’s metalworking skills. Destined to support the custom superyacht Phi by Royal Huisman, this Alia 36m Support Vessel reflects many elements of the larger yacht’s design. The hull was to have no fairing to finish it, so the plates had to be very accurately bent in three dimensions, then welded without creating the slightest distortion. It is flawlessly painted in the exactly same matt blue-grey as the mothership. She also shares the horizontal grille work at the bow and echoes the swooping shearline of the larger vessel. This 36m Support Vessel is built to cross oceans carrying the tenders and toys that the mothership has no garage to stow. The key here is a 9m HS Marine crane capable of lifting 5.5 tonnes out of the water and onto the vast 150 square-metre aft deck. It has more than enough power to handle the 14m gentleman’s tender currently taking shape at Spirit Yachts, as well as the Axopar 37 Suntop. A hydraulically operated lazarette under the deck stores further toys in a protected environment. But the super support yacht is also a technical marvel in other respects. Every system is overspecified, so as to be as reliable as possible. From pumps and piping to hydraulics and electrics, everything is designed to be as bombproof as possible. With a patented Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen and twin Cat 1900hp engines, Alia 36m Supper Vessel has a range of 4,200 nautical miles at twelve knots cruising speed. Flat out, she’ll do 21 knots to match the slim, easily-driven hull of the mothership. The interior is designed to be as functional as possible, although finished to superyacht crew standards. There are berths for up to six crew, but the boat is classified for handling by just three. It means that there is extra space on board, and one of the cabins has been designated as a guest cabin, with a little more volume and a desk. After doing final sea trials Phi Phantom was delivered to her owner in June.

Linssen Explorer Cruiser Aground in Scilly Island

A fourteen meter Linssen explorer cruiser with two persons onboard ended aground in the Isles of Scilly, on the South West of Great Britain on the morning of Thursday eight July.  The St. Mary RNLI life boat was directed to the area to assist in the accident finding the two persons in safety onboard the tender of the explorer cruiser.  At around 1600 hours with high tide and assistance from a private boat and life boat, the explorer cruiser was re-floated and directed to Tresco Marina where it was reunited with its owner.
The Linssen in the accident is a 470 Grand Sturdy AC Mk.2, as produced since 2006 and fully build of the steel.  The Grand Sturdy AC Mk.2 evolved the Mk.1 aft, now having a build in integrated bathing platform with stairway to both sides.

Project: Bering B72

Bering present the B72 project, an evolution of the 65 model, of which three units have been delivered and collectively sailed more than 100,000 nautical miles in all sea conditions. The steel-hulled B72 is based on the same technical platform and retains the rugged expedition-style lines, but Bering gathered feedback from the owners of the B65 and their captains in order to develop a new yacht that was bigger and better equipped with more comfort and storage space for supplies.  Although inspired by classic expedition vessels, the B72 is a thoroughly modern explorer. The bow has less overhang and the transom is close to vertical with a wide beach platform. The aluminium superstructure is purposeful and offers panoramic views through large windows.  The layout is on three deck levels. The main deck features a spacious salon, full-width galley and pilothouse on a raised level. Visually separated from the salon by steps, the well-equipped galley is a social centre on board, much as friends and family gather around the kitchen at home. There is a day head to port before entering the pilothouse protected from the elements by a windscreen of toughened 19mm-thick glass.  There are several options for the lower deck layout and guest accommodation. The standard layout has three guest cabins and a full-beam master suite forward. Optionally, the vessel can be reconfigured to a five or a six cabin layout with or without a crew cabin, the choice is completely up to the customer.  The boat deck, with room for one large or two smaller tenders and accompanying crane is divided from the social area and exterior helm station. In addition to the flybridge, the open-air areas include the aft cockpit with al fresco dining and a sun lounge on the foredeck.  The ocean-going B72 has a displacement of 118 tons with a fuel capacity of 18,200 litres. Powered by twin Cummins 327hp diesel engines she has a range of more than 5000 nm at a cruising speed of 7 knots.
