Remarkable Innovations For The New Yachts Of 2013

By Aaron Linebarger


Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: The latest reports from the Palumbo Shipyard in Naples, Italy demonstrate that the 40m Columbus Sport Hybrid Project is progressing at a rate of knots. With the all-aluminum hull and superstructures now all but complete, the focus of attention is turning toward the interior fit out, conceived by Hot Lab Yacht & Design in Milan in conjunction with the shipyard and owner.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: Built entirely out of aluminum, Design 380 is 400-tonnes lighter than she would be if built from steel, even when the necessary ballast is added. Her mast and all attendant spars and rigging will be built in carbon fibre and innovative sail-handling solutions will require a total crew of just 22. Josep Juanpere Miret of GCA Arquitectes Associats, a Barcelona-based studio which has designed a number of hotels, corporate spaces, and restaurants, created the yacht's interior designs.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: GCA also worked on the 160' (53.5m) sailing yacht Nirvana, built by Vitters, and which bears Dubois' handiwork as well. The GA calls for four 387sqft (36sqm) guest suits, two of which will feather double beds while twin beds will occupy the remaining two. A full-beam owner's suite (almost 50' across), with separate his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, and a large, shared shower compartment, sits amidships.

Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: According to Romano, diners will be seated around the custom table on eight comfortable compact armchairs, supplied by Moroso. Two large windows frame the salon itself and the airy atmosphere is further enhanced by two large sliding glass doors and opening bulwarks to better enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean. While the owner enjoys well-lit on-deck staterooms, down below guest enjoy equally well-appointed cabins.

Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: On the upper deck the relaxing atmosphere is enhanced by two huge sofas, more than 55" deep Romano tells us, chosen from the Diesel collection by Moroso. Being the first in the Columbus range from the mighty Palumbo Group, we look forward to inspecting her fully on launching. In keeping with the environmentally responsible ethos of the lightweight hybrid yacht, Hot Lab has revealed that where possible environmentally sustainable materials will be used in the interior.

Yacht ISA's 41m Classic series: Models in ISA's Classic range run from the 41m, through 50m, 60m and 63m, right up to a 74m design, with each exhibiting generous volumes. Indeed the 41m specifications show an estimated gross tonnage of 355 GT, which will serve her well in a competitive sector of the market. ISA's own team studied the naval architecture and interior design for the 41m Classic in-house, while the exterior styling was contributed from the Rome-based studio of Andrea Vallicelli.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: The commission came from an existing Dubois client who wanted more than just a megayacht capable of transoceanic cruising. He wanted an explorer, with plenty of dedicated space for tenders, spares, and other equipment. That's a design brief better-suited to the power yacht sector, but one that has crossed over rather well. Design 380 is not only impressive for her size, however.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: Despite a displacement of 2,000-tonnes, she will draw just 13' (4m) with her keel retracted. For blue water cruising, her keel will increase her draft to almost 40' (12.8m), providing additional stability beneath her 410' (125m) mast. To put the height of this vessel's mast in perspective, the Statue of Liberty's torch is 305' (93m) high, while the famous Big Ben clock tower in London stands 315 (96.3m) tall. If that doesn't impress you, consider this: Dubois' 331' (101m) sloop will feature a 137' (42m) mainsail boom - that's longer than the total length of most sailing super yachts.
