MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE 3

Editorial

The Monaco Yacht Show is the perfect

alchemy between the elegance of

the Principality of Monaco and the «art of

living» on board a superyacht; from the

total comfort sought by its owner while the

yacht is being designed to the lifestyle of

its crew.

For this new Summer edition of the MYS

magazine, we went to meet the chefs of

the Ducasse Education who offer cooking

workshops specially for yachts’ chefs; our

journalists have also investigated on the

Feng Shui art and the creation of unique

handicraft pieces expressly ordered by the

owner for his own wellbeing and that of his

family or guests on board.

Thus, unique superyachts with a proper

identity, the name of which often reveals

the personality of its owner, like our article

about the names of yachts reports.

We have also collected a few unforgettable

experiences from Nick Przybylski, Captain

of the iconic 90m Nero, which we wanted

to share with you: some fabulous moments

in life or stories about crazy requests made

by the charter clients that Nick or crews will

tell in the new MYS Captains & Crew lounge

that will be dedicated to them during the

2014 MYS.

A 2014 edition that will be the biggest

ever held so far, as the new extension of

the show on the front of Port Hercules will

allow the presentation of 110 super yachts

up to a hundred metres long. We unveil

a selection of world premiere launches

among the forty-or-so expected in the line

up of a 24th MYS that changes its image:

a new communication campaign which

underlines namely the ambitions of the

MYS to approach niches of end clientele

from other markets and promote a whole

industry in its wake.

Genius perpetuated through time

Ulysse Nardin returns as the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show official sponsor.

Ulysse Nardin was created in 1846 in Le Locle, Swit-

zerland and inscribed his name in the annals of the

nascent merchant navy. His marine chronometers,

world-renowned measuring instruments, were used

on many ships. The watchmaking powerhouse has

continually proved that challenges present vast

opportunities worthy of exploration. It is these

explorations that have resulted in Ulysse Nardin’s

unprecedented inventions in horology.

Ulysse Nardin has received the greatest number of

patents in mechanical watchmaking.

Awarded for InnoVision, a spectacular watch

concept that represented the groundbreaking

use of silicium, this creation gives a nod to Ulysse

Nardin’s Freak, which was the first timepiece to use

silicon for its escapement with two impulse wheels.

BLUE CRUISER

Stripped of its dial and hands, the Blue Cruiser is designed so that the movement revolves on itself. The rotating lower bridge indicates the hours, while the upper bridge, in the form of a skeletonized ship’s anchor shows the minutes. This avant-garde vessel measures a respectable 45 mm in diameter, in 18 ct white or rose gold.The 41 mm platinum case and the bezel are decorated with 152 diamonds. Limited edition of 99 pieces.


Other landmark achievements by Ulysse Nardin include

Oechslin’s completion of the Trilogy of Time, featuring

the Astrolabium, the Planetarium and the Tellurium.

And, Oechslin returned to the cosmos for inspiration

and revealed the Moonstruck, which concentrates on

the moon and its effects on the earth.

The pioneering spirit of Ulysse Nardin and its quest

for innovation and independence in the manufacture

of own movements allow to set new milestones in the

history of watchmaking. The company is proud to have

revealed six in-house calibers in the past twelve months.

Ulysse Nardin surpasses form and function and

strives for excellence in inventiveness and guides

with passion its ingenious mind and momentum.

The 42 mm 18 ct gold case houses a patented silicium balance spring, guaranteeing impressive accuracy.


M/Y IMAGINE by Amels (65 m, 2011)

Tell me the name of your yacht, I’ll tell you who you are

By Nick Jeffery

“I name this yacht, A”. The name matches the clean minimal Starck look but does not seem to be setting a trend amongst superyacht owners. It would have been unheard of at a launch ceremony a century ago. Naming a yacht should not be taken lightly – along with her exterior profile, it is an opportunity to display a unique identity, hinting at the owner’s values in life.

CHRISTENING AND SUPERSTITIONS

Old superstitions for sailors include not having a

name ending in the letter A (sorry Aleksandra!).

It is also important that the Champagne bottle

(in the past whisky or cider would do, even grape

juice during the Prohibition) breaks when it hits the

bow – they are surprisingly strong (bottles) and the

glass is often sawn-down by the shipyard before the

christening to be sure of a dousing at first swing.

The Egyptians are believed to have been the

pioneers of naming their boats and – along with

ancient Greeks and Romans – had elaborate cere-

monies involving prayer, sacrifice and christening

with fluid, sometimes simply water poured over the

vessel.

“Now, what a ship was christened, so let her stay, I

says”, cried Long John Silver in Treasure Island in

1883. Renaming is said to be inauspicious – never-

theless is commonplace in the world of superyachts:

The 90-metre “Air” was simply transformed to “Ice”.

Adnan Khashogi’s 86-metre “Nabila” (his daughter’s

name), built in 1980, was briefly owned by the Sultan

of Brunei before becoming Donald Trump’s “T rump

Princess”. Now she is named “Kingdom 5KR”, repute-

dly after a company name, lucky number and initials

of her Saudi Prince owner’s daughter and wife. The

provocatively named 55-metre “Tits” – drawn in the

1990s by Andrew Winch Designs for Prince Jefry of

Brunei – is another whose superstructure and tran-

som were touched up with more than a lick of paint

after her name changes (“Claire”, ”Dream” and now

“Samax”).

It is said that the old name is supposed to be written

on paper, put in a box, burnt and the ashes thrown

into the sea on an outgoing tide (even better burn

the actual nameboard). Whisper the new name so

as not to alert demons and promise the gods and

goddesses that you will not sin again. Never perform

the ritual on a Friday. Although some names are

masculine, yachts themselves are always conside-

red feminine – no sex changes have been recorded.

FAMILY AND PERSONAL TRIBUTE

The charter yacht “Andreas L” (ex “Amnesia”) is

named in fond memory of the late Andreas Liveras,

a serial yacht owner who named his yachts after his

grandchildren and family members (“Lina”, “Lauren L”,

“Alysia”, “Annaliesse”, “Princess Lauren”, “Princess

Tanya”, “Princess Natasha”, “Princess Krita”, “Princess

Sophia”…). Liveras kept the names of “Albacora of

Tortola”, “Altair” and “Rosenkavalier” as they were

so renowned and intrinsic to the yacht. A combina-

tion of the first letters of children’s names is popular.

The 1933 “Velsheda”, designed by Charles Nicholson

for businessman William Lawrence Stephenson,

was named after Velma, Sheila and Daphne. Dickie

Bannenberg recalls that “Stefaren” (now “Mari-

dome”), built at Brooke Marine in 1989, was her

owner’s daughters’ names Stefanie and Karen smashed

together. The recent “Elandess” was a Bannenberg

& Rowell design whose name comes from the pho-

netic initials of the two owners’ names, L and S.

Many of the largest superyachts built, owned by

Arabs, can also be included in the family tribute

“category”. Of the largest 10 superyachts, “Azzam”,

“Dubai”, “Al Said”, “Prince Abdulaziz”, “El Horriya”,

“Yas”, “Al Salamah” are connected with people,

culture or places. Numerous yachts have the prefix


Lady or Princess and there are a few Queens too.

“Lady Moura” is the largest at 105 metres. A Russian

Madame recently joined the hierarchy, ranking

number 30 with the 99-metre “Madame Gu”. What

“Christina O”, “Delphine” or “Talitha” would think,

one can only imagine.

OBSESSIONS AND LEGENDS

Some owners have a hobby, business or “Obsession”

(a boat name itself) and their yachts project this.

Larry Ellison has a penchant for all things Japanese

for example – so “Sayonara”, “Katana” (ex “Eco”, now

“Enigma”), “Rising Sun” and “Musashi” are easily

identified with him, while his America’s Cup yacht

“Oracle Team USA” is more commercial. “Solemates”

is the name of a former CEO of Reebok’s boat. The

60-metre “Kaiser” was so named as the owner (who

was not German) admired German style, Dickie

Bannenberg confides. “Skat” (her owner is Charles

Simonyi, the man said to have created Excel) inci-

dentally is a Danish term of endearment, meaning

Treasure, not a scientific reference. The powerful

Alloy sloop “Kokomo” is named after the Beach Boys

song (Get there fast then take it slow) and the Amels

“Imagine” the John Lennon classic. Bond names such

as “Octopussy”, “Never Say Never” and “Golden Eye”

reflect the personality of another serial owner entre-

preneur, John Staluppi – “The World is Not Enough”.

Legendary names grow with time, as the legend

is forged. For those who hanker after yachts

and names of the early 20th Century – such as

“ Lulworth” (after Lulworth Castle), “Nahlin” (native

American ‘fleet of foot’), “Savarona”, “Virginia”,

“Warrior” or “Westward” – one only needs to turn to

G.L. Watson & Co. who maintains the world’s largest

privately held archive of classic yacht designs. Partner

Antony Harrison says, “The catalogue includes some

of the most powerful and famous names in yachting

history. Amongst these are legends such as ‘Rainbow’,

‘Thistle’, ‘Bona’, ‘Sybarita’ and the ‘Valkyries’ (beautiful

maidens riding battlefields to claim dead heroes)”.

Dr, William Collier adds: “With all key drawings avai-

lable it is quite possible that these fabulous names

may be reborn as replicas”.

FUN IN THE PUN – COME IN NUMBER 9

One only has to walk around Monaco’s two ports

to taste the sense of humour that some owners

S/Y KOKOMO, the 58.4-m fast cruising sloop by Alloy Yachts (2010)


project onto the quay. “Seize the Day”, “Nick of

Time”, “Nameless”. A naming tip is to be careful it’s

not been done before – “Aquaholic” has been in the

top 10 popular boat names registered in the USA for

a decade and “Serenity” the top five. Also, consider

how the name will sound repeated on the VHF and

whether people might twist it to tease you if poor

reception (“Senility”)!

As well as country or flag registration numbers,

numbers can be prominently used as styling

graphics such as “Skat’s” warship-like ‘9906’ on her

grey hull (in fact just a design project number) and

“Aurelia’s” 10 (Gulf Racing Team colours with the 10

referring to being the tenth boat built in its class).

One superyacht that kept her shipyard build number

as her actual name is “Triple Seven” from Nobiskrug.

“The One” (ex “Carinthia VI”) was certainly not the

first yacht from Lürssen – she was a near-identical

to “Carinthia V”, the previous one, which sunk after

hitting an uncharted rock on her maiden cruise in

the Mediterranean. CMN’s “Cloud 9” is still floating!

BRANDING

Specialist companies make yacht names with

backlighting and three-dimensional sculptured

logos – holograms have yet to take off. “Phoenix

2” exhibits a silver figurehead, “Quattroelle” (Four

L’s in Italian, for Love, Life, Liberty, Luxury) sports a

distinctive logo made of four L-shapes. Superyachts

usually display the name on the superstructure

sides as well as transom and sometimes the bow.

The builder’s name, like a car marque, is usually

positioned quite prominently too but in much

smaller font. The logo and name – or first letter of

it – may be found throughout the boat, from crew

uniforms to slippers and beach towels, crockery,

crystal and caps. Branding has become integral in

today’s superyacht. In the future the tradition of

names may be picked up on in sister industries for

cars and private jets.

Whatever ‘category’, a yacht’s name – combined

with the design – probably speaks more about an

owner than the words of the lady he chooses to say:

“May God bless her and all who sail in her.”

They that go down to the sea in superyachts

The book of Psalms says, “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.” A superyacht only makes it better. By Bransom Bean.

NOT JUST A JOB

Whether it becomes a life’s career or just a couple

of extraordinary years before settling into a

conventional job ashore, being a crewmember on

a super yacht can be a ticket to special people,

places and experiences that few others ever see –

particularly when they are lucky enough to join

a yacht with a Captain who dares venture off the

beaten paths between St Tropez and Portofino.

Captain Nick Przybylski is one of those people

who has not only seen the best that yachting

has to offer but as Captain has introduced his

crews and Owners to those uniquely superyacht

experiences.

SAILING, ENGINES AND SOME VERY PRETTY GIRLS

Nick by his own admission wasn’t a great academic

in his youth but he was a very keen Sailor, racing

Flying Dutchman and Laser dinghies in his native

South Africa.

And he also loved machines. So leaving school

rather earlier than perhaps his parents had hoped,

he began an Engineer Apprenticeship at English

Electric in the UK.

After five years though, a call of the sea took him

to the magical Galapagos Islands to join a 136 foot

Baltic schooner, Golden Cashelot, as her Engineer.

This job would last though only until he helped

rescue another Baltic schooner, Sofia, from the

beach and joined her crew. His motivation was not

purely nautical. “I was young and she was a floating

hippie commune with nubile young ladies; there was

a compelling reason to jump ship.”

His formal career in “mainstream yachting”, as

he calls it, began later in the UK working for the

“wonder fully eccentric” Christopher Bailey, owner

of Dragon Yachts. Bailey also owned a shipyard and

when ship repair work was slow, he put the yard to

Captain Nick Przybylski


work restoring yachts from the early 1900’s inclu-

ding the classic 50 metre Welsh Falcon.

From there Nick would become Captain of Margaux Rose,

Maupiti and today the extraordinary 90 metre Nero.

A SUPERYACHT, A ROYAL FAMILY AND

A HOT AIR BALLOON

Think superyacht toys and you usually picture jet

skis and windsurfers. Nick introduced the hot air

balloon, the first to fly one off a superyacht. “I’ve

always thought owners don’t do enough with their

yachts; luckily I’ve mostly sailed for Owners willing

to sail where few others dare.”

One of Nick’s guests aboard Welsh Falcon, Colin

Prescot, Chief Executive of Flying Pictures, had

intro duced Nick to hot air balloons. When Nick

joined Margaux Rose as Captain in the late 1980’s, he

soon realised her foredeck could serve as a launch

pad. “I suggested it to my Owner who thought it was

a novel idea, so I bought a four-passenger balloon

but had to get a license to fly it, another adventure.”

And it turned out to a unique way share the marvels

of the sea with his guests. “The view from a balloon

is not that different from that of a helicopter – what

makes it so special is the slower pace and the quiet,

punctuated only by the intermittent reassuring

growl of the burner – a better platform I cannot imagine

for viewing your yacht.”

But balloons fly completely at the mercy of the wind;

the pilot able to control only the altitude, so balloon

flights are normally in light breezes, drifting at a

walking pace over land and certainly not from a

yacht at sea. By the time a certain royal family char-

tered Margaux Rose for Christmas in the Bahamas,

Nick and his crew had mastered a technique of

flying their balloon off the yacht.

A member of this family was partially paralysed

young son. Nick thought that drifting above those

crystal Bahamian coral seas was just what the boy

needed. But because the waters under the planned

flight path would be too shallow for Margaux Rose,

the procedure would have to be to launch the

balloon ashore from the nearest beach and then

recover it with her tender.

The trip began normally. “The waters below were

crystal and the boy seemed enchanted seeing

sharks and stingrays swimming just below us, as if

he was watching it on the world’s largest TV.”

Unfortunately, all good things must end and too

soon it was time to return to earth, or more accu-

rately to the tender. But by this time a freshening

breeze promised a recovery more exciting that Nick

had planned. In fact it would take several perilous

attempts, with the basket dipping into the sea,

before the crew managed to manhandle the young

passenger and the basket of the still inflated balloon


safely into the tender. “I breathed a huge sigh of relief

and decided it was the last time I would attempt that

sort of flight again - but to my surprise, after that

rather hair-raising recovery, his Mum took it as her

cue to climb into the basket for another flight. I was so

amazed by her courage I simply could not refuse her,

so off we went again in the still freshening breeze.”

Now the balloon quickly sped off, drifting farther and

farther away from the frantically pursing tenders

who were having real difficulty keeping up as they

dodged exposed coral heads. Nick realised there

would be no second landing in a tender. “I had

visions of not finding anywhere to land before the

next landfall which was Florida, but I noticed a small

sandy Island coming up ahead on our flight path.”

Unfortunately the island in question was covered in

jagged brush so Nick decided to land just beyond

in what looked like a shallow lagoon. “And I knew

the freshening breeze would make the landing a bit

harder than I would have preferred.”

But it was now or Florida and the balloon’s gas re-

serves would not last until there, so Nick put the

balloon down. “We bounced several times and then

came to a sliding stop in ankle-deep water – at least

we were safely down and my royal passenger and I

none the worse for wear.” Margaux Rose’s inflatable

dingy eventually caught up but then getting back to

Margaux Rose took several hours as the crew alter-

nately pushed and swam the inflatable with Nick’s

intrepid royal passenger and the balloon on board.

“Eventually we made it back under one of those

beautiful full moons you see only in the tropics af-

ter an adventure the family and crew would never

forget.”

THE SPINNER DOLPHINS OF FERNANDO

DE NORONHA

It’s a rare day at sea when one or two dolphins are

not sighted playing at the bow of any sea-going

vessel, but Nick and his crew in 47 metre Maupiti

were destined to see thousands in just one bay.

On the first leg of what would be an eight year circum-

navigation, they called at the Brazilian archipelago of

Fernando de Noronha, once a prison colony and now

a UNESCO World Heritage as the tropical home to

literally thousands of Spinner Dolphins. From their

special vantage point aboard the yacht anchored

in the Atlantic rollers, those aboard Maupiti had a

front row seats to an extraordinary daily perfor-

mance. “Every afternoon these dolphins set off to

sea to feed, returning en masse the next morning

at first light; we’d see hundreds of pods, each with

60 to 100 individuals. At first they were quiet, just

meandering in the clear waters beneath us, but then

suddenly they’d start showing off, erupting from the

bay, doing pirouettes and somersaults, making what

had been a tranquil tropical scene explode into a

nautical circus!”

A CHILEAN ADMIRAL AND WATERFALLS

THAT FLOW UPHILL

Maupiti’s Owners later joined Nick and his crew

in Porto Montt for an adventure through the

spectacular fiords of Chile bound for Punta Arenas,

southern most city on Earth and gateway to Antarc-

tica. Picturesque as they are, these waters are also

busy commercial routes strictly controlled by the

Chilean Navy. “Before leaving we were directed to

carry two pilots and expected to provide each with

a cabin. I had my work cut out convincing the autho-

rities that we did not have room for two pilots and,

because we would not be sailing more than 10 hours

a day, surely one pilot would suffice.”

In the end though Nick prevailed, promising the

most luxurious cabin of any pilot’s career. The lucky

pilot happened to be a very recently retired Chilean

Navy Admiral and former Master of the sail-training

ship Esmerelda. Maupiti’s cruise would be one of

his first jobs as pilot. “A delightful man with impec-

cable manners and encyclopaedic knowledge – he

became the magic key to unlock the treasure chest

of Chilean Fjords to us.”

Not only did he know the sea and these waters in

particular, but the Chilean Navy officials along the

way controlling the route knew him very well indeed.

“All our requested routes were instantly approved

and while he was aboard we were never refused to

sail wherever our whim of adventure took us.”

So Maupiti sailed confidently through fjords with

sheer cliffs on either side, narrow passages with

fierce tidal currents and beneath 300 metre water-

falls flowing uphill, driven by the cutting winds of

the Roaring Forties.

HUMPBACK WHALES GET PERSONAL

Crews in explorer yachts adventuring down in the

higher latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere are

among the elect who actually step ashore in An-

tarctica, soon discovering that this frigid land is

much more than just ice and snow. One of the safest

harbours there is also one of the only places in the

world where oceangoing vessels can sail directly


into the middle of an active volcano. Deception Island

surrounds a 9 kilometre bay called Port Foster,

shelter amidst a raging Southern Ocean. Its treeless

landscape with blindingly white glaciers atop black

volcanic soil is also full of life.

This frigid haven is accessible only by navigating a

painfully narrow channel, Neptune’s Bellows. A rus-

ting shipwreck on one side reminds mariners of how

it can all go horribly wrong. “We entered at 0300 in

a flat calm; I was uncomfortable using the normal

anchorage in Whalers Bay because you had to an-

chor close to the beach and it was difficult to tell the

sea from the beach - both appeared equally black.”

So Nick decided instead to anchor Maupiti out in the

bay in waters made shallow by over what seemed to

be an underwater volcanic cone. “My guardian an-

gel was looking after me because by 0800 the wind

was howling at 70 knots, lashed with volcanic black

ash which would have made that Whalers Bay an-

chorage untenable.” Maupiti’s anchor began to drag

and, to be able to work on her foredeck to weigh

anchor, the crew had to don diving masks to protect

their eyes as Nick moved to another anchorage at

Fumarole Bay. The owners and guests gathered on

the bridge, entranced by the tempest outside and

fixated on the soaring wind speed reading on the

anemometer. “Then, out of this maelstrom of wind,

water, snow and volcanic dust, a pod of seals ap-

peared to our stern; they stopped short when they

saw us in the middle of what must have been their

regular route; rising up out of the water they gave us

a close look and then, apparently satisfied that we

were friendly, they swam on.”

Soon everyone in Maupiti soon developed close

relationships with the local humpback whales as

well. As any sailor who has encountered them at

sea knows, whales have particularly bad breath, a

cross between fish and rotting seaweed. “We were

regularly surrounded by them but as huge as they

were, we never felt threatened; in fact, we began to

believe that our white antifouling paint made these

magnificent creatures think we were one of them as

they would gently poke their massive heads above

the waves, right alongside us almost to get a closer

look at us at dinner. Each whale’s breath was dis-

tinctive. With this and the markings on their tails we

came to know each one almost by name.”

Sadly, there was something else sheltering on De-

ception Island. “We came upon what looked like a

factory or oil refinery.” In the rusting remains of an

abandoned whaling station they found heaps of

whale bones. “We were horrified to see those bones

and realise that these magnificent animals had been

speared, their bodies pumped full of air to keep

them afloat and then dragged from the sea to be

cut up and boiled for their oil.”

A GOOD SAMARITAN

Unique and luxurious as it may be, a yacht of course

is just another vessel at sea and her crew members

of that universal band of seafarers who share the

common challenge that is the sea. So it is not

surprising that Nick and his crew would come to the

aid of a 52 foot sailboat sailed by a couple on their

own somewhat less luxurious circumnavigation who

found themselves stranded on a reef in the South

Pacific. “Maupiti with Owners aboard was on a night

passage passing Suva, Fiji’s capital, when I came

on watch and the first officer advised there was an

active MAYDAY for a vessel aground 50 nautical

miles ahead.”

They set off to help, arriving offshore after midnight

and made radio contact. “We thought we could

assist so with the Owner’s consent we prepared to

try at daybreak – we didn’t realise we’d need four

attempts.” To begin with, 300 metres of breaking

surf between them and the hapless sailboat meant

Maupiti’s crew would have their first real-life test of

their rocket-propelled line-thrower. But a broken

harness ended their first try. Undaunted, Maupiti’s

crew then floated a heavier line through the surf

only to see it part under the strain as well. “At this

point we had only one rocket left but now I had

learned how much power I could apply before

breaking the line.”

So Nick again took strain. Two tremendous breakers

successively crashed over the boat and the boat slid

across the reef, soon floating happily with surpri-

singly little damage. “This was one of the best days

in all of our experiences; the gratification of giving

back something to a fellow mariner was truly me-

morable.”

THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE

Nick’s current command, the iconic Nero, is a

modern yacht created by Neil Taylor in the style and

ideals of the great age of steam yachts. Wrapped in

this romance, glamour and fine lines with beautiful

wood finishes is the latest technology and comfort.

A yacht that truly stands out from the crowd, Nero is

available for charter, offering a different experience

including no doubt some more very interesting

tales from the sea.


When it comes to working late in the evenings, over

weekends or even during their own holidays many

Charter Brokers go that the extra mile to make

charters happen and arrange everything to accord

with their client’s wishes. It is not always easy and

it is not always fun but it is their job and it is the

one that they have built their reputations on so they

knuckle down and get it done.

Finding a berth inside St Tropez on a Saturday

evening in August, how to serve the finest Single

Malts to guests who cannot be seen to drink in

public, (use a tea pot and serve malt in tea cups)

are just two stories we have heard but must not

reveal where! Here we talk with some of the indus-

try’s top charter brokers and get them to tell us a

story or two!

IT’S A DOGS LIFE

Valeria Alekhina, a retail broker with Fraser Yachts,

once organised a charter for a principle who wanted

to surprise friends spread across five generations

and aged between 18 and 70.

“He had chartered a Perini Navi through us,” says

Valeria. “It was for a boys-only week but to avoid

his guests knowing too much about the surprise, he

suggested to them all that they were going to be

hiking for a week in the South of France starting in

Villefranche”.

Inevitably they all turned up with sleeping bags and

rucksacks which they clearly would not need but

one young man, the principle’s nephew a student

in Cannes, turned up bringing with him his dog, a

Doberman named Lily.

VA: I was on the yacht and thought this group was

just simply saying goodbye to the principal charterer.

I had no idea that one would bring a dog and I knew

that animals were not allowed on board.

When I explained this to the principle, he said “if my

nephew cannot with me then I will cancel the charter.”

I was pondering what to do when the only solution

came upon me, I would have to look after Lily for a

week! So as the Perini pulled off the dock I pushed

Lily into my new convertible VW Beatle car. I had

no idea what to do with a dog especially one as

huge as Lily but she looked pleased at the prospect

of a week with me so off we set back to the Fraser

Yachts offices.

Not everyone there was delighted but as soon as

they heard the story they had to agree with me

that no matter what, the guest has to get what they

asked for in a charter. So for one week Lily and I led

a dog’s life of walkies and feedings.

Lily and I got on just fine and my guests enjoyed

their charter. When the yacht docked in Antibes

after the charter they were so pleased with me for

what I had done that they took me to dinner in Eden

Rock Hotel restaurant.

You charter me crazy!

ORCHIDS

Timothy Clark, a Senior Charter Broker with Ocean

Independence, remembers placing an American

couple on a large motor yacht for three weeks in

the Caribbean to celebrate their 40th Wedding An-

niversary. “I talked at length with the husband about

how the day of the anniversary could be made as

memorable as possible. During our conversation,

it transpired that that he had proposed to her 40

years previously in Hawaii and had presented her

with some rare orchids indigenous to the islands”.

TC: So the plan was hatched, I was to organise a

bunch of these wonderful rare orchids and get them

to him so that he could present them to his wife on

the morning of their anniversary over breakfast at

a stunning anchorage in the British Virgin Islands.

Things did not go so well after that! After an ex-

haustive search through every contact I had in the

exotic flower industry, it quickly became evident

to me that in fact Hawaii was the only place in the

world to find these particular flowers. Fearing the

worst and with a somewhat nervous disposition, I

rang the client to give him the not so great news

that we wouldn’t be able to get this particular flower

without actually going to Hawaii. To my surprise, he

asked me to dispatch his private jet to Hawaii to get

the flowers.

So the airplane, with one of the crew from the yacht

on board, was dispatched on an interesting route

that took the private plane from St Maarten to Flo-

rida, across to San Diego and out to Hawaii. While

refuelling in San Diego, we arranged for some of

his favourite wine to be collected from his home in

Napa, California. The 10,000 mile round trip took

just under 24 hours but the client was very pleased

with what we had done.

The anniversary complete with perhaps the most

expensive orchids in the world went down as the

most memorable of all the other events we had

planned for the couple in the Caribbean and they

remember it to this day.

From my point of view it was certainly the most ex-

traordinary use of a private plane I know of and I am

not sure if the client was ever aware of the logisti-

cal and legal nightmares of flying a rare species of

plant and un-bonded rare wines from A to B across

certain International boundaries! But as they say,

what they do not know, will not hurt them!

HORSING AROUND

Adelheid Chirco, Charter Director at Ocean Inde-

pendence, recalls, “a couple in love had chartered a

large motor yacht for two weeks in Italy and planned

to spend the day in Pompei for a visit to the ancient

ruins”.

AC: On a country road on their way to the old city

they encountered a farmer badly beating his old

horse. Upset about what she saw, the lady asked the

driver to stop the car. Alighting, she approached the

farmer telling him to desist and asking how much

money he wanted for the horse. When a fee was

agreed, the boyfriend (very much in love) bought

it from the farmer! That was the easiest part of the

Timothy Clark, Ocean Independence

deal. Imagine my surprise when the Captain of the

yacht told me that the number of guests had in-

creased by one horse!

The Captain was wonderful, I don’t know how he

managed it, but he found a contact for a veteri-

narian who at first believed the story was a joke.

Finally the Captain managed to convince him and

he agreed to take care of the horse for a couple of

days while we organised transportation to a domain

near Paris, the horse’s future home. Apparently the

transport cost more than the horse!

I wish the story had a happy ending but that was not

to be. The couple fell out of love, did not get mar-

ried and cancelled the honeymoon charter they had

booked through me. I never did get further news of

the horse – but by now it must be resting in peace.

WAVE RUNNER

Lara-Jo Houghting, now a Charter Fleet Manager

with Churchill Yacht Partners, was in the early days

in her career managing a yacht about to charter for

the very first time. She says, “I always get a thrill out

of a challenge and ultimately the accomplishment

that follows completion. The best part is that gene-

rally charter guests have no idea what really hap-

pens behind the scenes!”

LJH: On this occasion, the charter contract had

been written by June Montagne of Yachtzoo one of

the big European houses who exhibit each year at

Monaco and had specified that the yacht be able to

supply a two person wave runner for one of those

days on which she was on charter. Nervous about

the situation, I flew to the Bahamas at the yacht

Owner’s suggestion, to ensure that the yacht and

crew were ready for their first charter only to disco-

ver that the yacht did not in fact have a wave runner!

Walking over to the beach I finally found someone

who agreed to rent me one for a day. He assured

me he would deliver the machine to the yacht in the

marina at Atlantis within the hour. I trustingly paid

the businessman in cash, said a little prayer, and

trekked back over the beach to Atlantis. Within 60

minutes, as promised, my new best friend arrived,

all smiles, complete with two life jackets and fuel.

Success! Or so I at least thought!

When I very proudly presented the solution to the

captain he said that that was great, but then told me

the yacht’s crane was not working and so he could

not lift it on board.

I knew the charter was in jeopardy if we did not

make sure the guests had the use of the wave run-

ner when they got to their lunchtime anchorage.

The story ended with me wearing a yacht crew uniform

and driving the wave runner behind the yacht from

Atlantis to Rose Island so that the guests were able to

enjoy a full day of water sports activities including the

use of the wave runner just as they had asked for.

MOVING MOUNTAINS

Sometimes even the simplest of tasks can seem

monumental for a charter broker and there are

some who have to go to great heights to get it right.

Sometimes quite literally!

Lara-Jo Houghting, Churchill Yacht Partners

Robin O’Brien, Fraser Yachts


Robin O’Brien, a charter broker with Fraser Yachts

recalls that a very popular charter yacht with a very

full calendar was booked by a client of hers who

never did quite get around to putting pen to paper

and signing the contract.

Worried that it might all go array, Robin telephoned

the principal’s PA to get her to remind him to do so.

The PA, however, replied that her boss was skiing

off-piste, staying in a remote cabin, out of mobile

phone range and was not answering his emails.

With a charter guest totally oblivious that he might

not just lose his deposit but also might, in all pos-

sibility, lose the charter as well, fast positive action

was called for.

«There was nothing for it,» says Robin but for me

to go see him personally and get him to sign the

contract myself.

«You know what they say: If Mohamed will not come

to the mountain then the mountain must move

towards Mohamed!

«So guess who ended up getting cold in borrowed

ski jackets and snow goggles being swept up the

mountain in great haste just to get a signature for

a charter in Antarctica and it was a huge success.»

SURPRISE

A wise man once said to me in the superyacht

industry “We don’t just create a holiday, we

create dreams” said Sara Hill, a Yacht Charter and

Management Support agent with Y.CO. I have a

story about family and how I witnessed a dream

come true the day they boarded a charter yacht.

SH: A nice young gentleman contacted me one

day and was enthusiastic to book a charter for his

mother. He explained she had never left her home in

the mid-west part of America and worked hard her

whole life striving to be the best working mother

she could be.

Now all her grown children wanted to give her the

trip of a lifetime and a birthday present beyond any-

thing she could have dreamed of. A sweet gesture

indeed and I was invited to be on board for her arri-

val on her 60th Birthday.

I hadn’t realised the extent they had gone too to

lure their mother to this remote location in the

Caribbean. She was told in a fake phone call she

had “won” a week in a hotel and her flights were

paid for. She graciously accepted this offer as she

had never been to an island or travelled to such an

exotic destination.

After a day had passed to settle in, she was told

a snorkelling excursion was booked and she was

escorted by a small dinghy to the larger dive boat

anchored offshore. With her snorkel gear in hand

the dinghy “Captain” suggested they drive by for a

closer look at this beautiful mega-yacht nearby.

“Of course!” she exclaimed and as she pulled up

to this shiny white yacht, all 5 of her children were

standing on the swim platform anxiously waiting to

see the look of surprise on her face. The moment

she saw her family was a moment I will never forget.

The look of overwhelming joy, happiness, and utter

shock is beyond words.

She immediately burst into tears as everyone sang

Happy Birthday. Watching this family cry tears of

joy and embrace their mother with the surprise of

her lifetime was such an incredibly rewarding expe-

rience. I still get goose bumps thinking about it.

Some people might suggest Charter Brokers are

merely booking agents for the extremely wealthy.

I like to think of us as hard working folk who care

about making dreams come true and I think that

it is memories like this that makes this job more

rewarding than most can imagine.

Sara Hill, Y.CO


Bespeak improvementsBy Cornelia Marioglou

The young Henry Royce ordered a Decauville in France in 1903. But this car never made it on the street as the engine didn’t work properly. Instead it inspired him to disassembly the entire car, by separating each tiny screw, study everything carefully and create something which today people consider one of the best cars in the world. Sir Henry Royce’s motto, a visionary engineer, is awaiting the visitors at the Rolls Royce headquarters in the British Sussex Downs, placed above the reception desk in bright letters: ‘Take the best that exists and make it better.’

What do Rolls Royce, Airbus Helicopters, Lufthansa

Technik and the shipyards who build owner’s

dreams all have in common, especially when we

are focusing around the context of yachting? Well,

there are two things that we can think of. First of all,

all of the mentioned firms are part of today’s fast

moving society where time is money and mobility

is trump. Cars, private jets, helicopters and yachts

enable the superyacht owners a highly flexible life-

style to move around, get quickly shuttled from

one place to the other, stay in motion and above all

enjoy a certain kind of privacy for family and friends

that is hard to find elsewhere.

Moreover individualization has become the new

standard for most of the luxury firms in order to

showcase their abilities and market these skills to

prospect clients. Therefore firms such as Silver lining,

Kevin Glancy, Baccarat, Nymphenburg or Tai Ping have

enrolled an one of its kind service to their esteemed

clients – offering truly bespoke services which at

the same time meet the high expectations an owner

may have. Almost everything is possible. And if so-

mething is not yet developed, the above mentioned

firms are all keen to be commissioned to work on

an individual project and find the best solution for

a potential client.

Let’s briefly analyze the adverb bespoke. It was ori-

ginally being used in London at Saville Row where

the tailor needed to speak with his client about what

had to be changed or adjusted in order to finalize

the made to measure suit, to bespeak the impro-

vements. Nowadays the vocabulary “bespoke” is

being used quite inflationary and also high-fashion

brands falsely link this expression to their product.

We are all well aware why they do so. Because bespoke

sells. Only the most sophisticated firms can cope to

the very high standards and deliver the best of the

best, made to measure exactly to the clients’ wish.

Dedicated departments that do nothing else than

provide an highly personal service be it to design

a new color with gold particles at Rolls Royce, or

a delicate piece of wood marquetry at Lufthansa

Technik to fulfill an owners dream in a jet or have

the designer Rita Weber create the Zig Zag heli pre-

sented last year during MYS onboard the Lürssen

build Quattroelle, or bespoke furniture from

Silver lining, hand-woven rug patterns by Tai Ping

or a noble table setting with carefully shaped table

flowers with fine filaments and delicate stems as

unique as the natural archetype from Nymphenburg,

or the majestic silhouette of a Harcour glass design

made to measure by Baccarat, or the trusted ex-

pertise by Jonathan Fawcett for the softest linen

and towels, all hand stitched and with a monogram

added. Only the best is on display, none of these

firms would ever be satisfied with the second best.

Take for example the UK based firm Kevin Glancy,

ready to exhibit in Monaco during the MYS for the

20th consecutive year and with more than 365 yachts

in their reference book one of the most important

players if it comes to bespoke services in this field.

Names such as Twizzle, Ecstacea, Eclipse, Maltese

Falcon and Silver Angel shine bright and bring the

extra sparkle onboard of yachts, but also jets and

helicopters, no matter if it is about a new build or

a refurbishing project. Since 1989 they cater the

specific needs of each of the unique projects they

are dealing, an extra wealth of expertise at their

fingertips. Last year the Manchester based firm in-

troduced the exclusive partnership with the Italian

fashion house Stefano Ricci, based in Florence,

whereas this years’ 20th anniversary at the show will

be the highlight of the autumn season. Jason Hales,

the sales director of the brand says: “The formality

of dining may have diminished, but there is still an

appreciation for the heritage and craft of silverware,

crystal ware and fine bone china. And what bespoke

offers to clients is exclusivity in the form of unique pro-

ducts, wherever they might be used.”

Also Baccarat, the epitome of the French Art de

Vivre is celebrating this year. Since 1764 and with

the first royal commission for bespoke objects in

1823 when Louis XVIII ordered his glass ware, they

have been working for Charles X, Louis-Philippe,

Napoleon III and a host of Presidents and Heads

of State. And the Juvisy service engraved with

the monogram RF for the République Française

was used since 1899 for state banquets. Palaces,

outstanding locations and unique yachts are being

illuminated by precious Baccarat Chandeliers,

always encapsulating current trends with an eye on

the future to create the classics of tomorrow. For

250 years this exceptional brand has created unfor-

gettable experiences and there is no doubt that

they will surprise their discerning clients with the

new collection: Beyond Crystal. A collection that

has been designed by the Paris born Rémi Tessier, a

well known designer in the yachting scene and the

price winning Sartori, a 50 metre motoryacht build

at the Heesen shipyard in the Netherlands. Recently

he came up with a contemporary bathroom faucet

in four different colors (champagne, red, aqua, blue)

and a clear version. The style is pure and modern

and with a slight touch of LED light inside the crystal

cross handles is quite a statement.

Today a table decoration may not be as opulent and

sumptuous as during those heydays of noble table

decorations, when King Ludwig II, the former Bava-

rian King was born in Munich at the Nymphenburg

Checking kimono marquetry design - © Mark Reeves Photography


Palace in 1845, where the Nymphenburg Porzellan

Manufaktur was finally moved and still is located

today. Splendid table settings with opulent bas-

kets, serving platters and magnificent art objects

such as the Neptune’s Chariot designed by Domi-

nikus Auliczek in 1770, where the God of the Sea

and his beloved Amphitrite, sit in a large Seashell

drawn by the seahorse, with Triton on the helm, a

table arrangement that is still to be found in the

range of the precious porcelain manufacturer. But

at Nymphenburg there is a lot of room for bespoke

objects, wonderful hand-painted tiles and Bustelli

figurines, precious limited edition collections such

as the range of modern table pieces with 5 sculptural

elements in black matt porcelain by the contem-

porary artist Joep van Lieshout. Those table wear

elements would make for a perfect match with

bespoke dining table from the British firm Silver-

lining, who were commissioned to build the vast

dining table for the 95.15m motoryacht Palladium

matching the yacht’s streamlined profile. Indeed

the real challenge was to craft a base light enough

for a yacht, yet strong enough to anchor a 6.2m

table with 20 bespoke chairs placed around.

Therefore the innovative construction was formed

from a single lightweight carbon fibre moulding.

But also the Kimono screen at the VIP cabin of the

motoryacht Amaryllis is a unique example of art

marquetry, comprised of almost 3,100 individual

pieces of veneer in five different color shades of

blue, cream and crimson. The artwork is simply

beautiful and looks like a wonderful silk kimono, but

is made out of Sycamore wood. We learned that

experimenting with those colors took the skilled

masters almost two years but it was more than

worth every single moment, because the result is

simply stunning. When Mark Boddington set up the

company to become the leading furniture makers

it was hard in the beginning, but now nearly three

decades later, Silverlining is one of the most prolific,

innovative and award-winning furniture brands and

for good reason can be found in museums, galleries,

residences and of course yachts spread all around

the globe.

We were presenting traditional companies that have

been around for hundreds of years, and tradition

and heritage somehow makes for a great reputation

for a bespoke subject, but on the other hand there

are firms that are around only for one, two or three

decades or even less but have achieved something

really outstanding, something that nobody else

could ever deliver, visions that run outside of any

competition. A brand that knows to play with spe-

cial effects is Tai Ping. We can’t think of another

brand that is more experienced to create such co-

lorful and unique masterpieces made out of wool,

cashmere, cotton, flax and leather threads, with

such a color depth.

At this years’ MYS though they will present the

brand new care and maintenance program, espe-

cially targeted to yachting crews with a 24/7 help

line. We asked Timo Holthoff if it makes sense to

establish such a service, and he said that it always

makes sense to get help in case of an emergency.

A one-off designed and hand-made carpet by Tai

Ping is a piece of art, an asset with all its facets and

it really deserves this hotline. What a great idea.

I feel better when I sleep to starboard

An English Feng Shui Consultant in Monaco, an American Feng Shui Master Practitioner in New York City and a highly successful Chinese Venture Capitalist Chairman share some auspiciousness tips with Nick Jeffery.

Conjuring up images of hippies bearing lucky stones

and lighting joss sticks, with good fortune plants

flanking the entrance doors, the world of Feng Shui

has yet to catch on in superyachting. But with charter

competition fierce and an eye on the potential of

Far Eastern clients ‘Feng Shui-ing’ a superyacht

could bring good fortune.

Feng Shui and wind and water are connected so,

in theory, according to Monaco resident Feng

Shui Consultant Nicky Fraser, yachting provides

a fine case study: “A sailing boat is an example of

how the invisible energy that the Chinese call CHI

is harnessed”. Anybody who has helmed a well-

balanced sailing boat will agree that a powerful,

beautiful energy runs right through mind and body

when you get it just right.

There are so many aspects to Feng Shui, including

dates of birth of people in the space concerned, for

optimum furniture placement and sitting directions,

that it can only be used in moderation on yachts –

especially since they move to point in all directions

of the compass.

Manhattan-based Debra Duneier, creator of EcoChi®,

combines classical Feng Shui with green and sustai-

nable living and environmental psychology, which

appears to result in a successful blend – ashore

at least. An accredited LEED® Green Associate,

Certified Eco-Designer and Feng Shui Master

Practitioner, Duneier was quick to respond when

I mentioned Prince Albert II Foundation’s ‘Wood

Forever Pact’ and its promotion of the use of wood

on superyachts from sustainable sources: “Green

Picture above: CQS rendering for 106-metre refit launching this year. The bedroom suite avoids the use of metal that can conduct away energy or mirrors that can cause sleep disturbance.


and sustainable choices make for good Feng Shui

and a better world. We use wood in our designs from

well-managed forests wherever possible. Taking

care of our natural environment nurtures us – it is

the circle of life that the five Feng Shui elements*

are based on”.

Peter Liu, Chairman of WI Harper Group, top Venture

Capitalist and the first Chinese member of the Yacht

Club de Monaco, was fortuitously in Monaco when I

emailed him and suggested we meet in the lobby of

the Hotel de Paris. He offered me the comfortable

sofa and I noticed he took a seat facing the entrance

door – one of the principles of Feng Shui is that you

can see who is entering. Peter started by explaining

that the “energy – or chi – that surrounds us comes

from the earth”. He explained how the Hotel de

Paris lobby, with its flowing spaciousness and round

table with flowers, has good chi and always feels

vibrant. Positive chi – which Peter Liu oozes – can

improve a person’s fortune or good luck. Having ex-

plained another principle of Feng Shui, that “posi-

tive energy attracts positive energy”, I noticed that

a number of successful Monaco residents passing

through the lobby, en route to various dos, came

over to greet Peter enthusiastically. He went on to

explain that Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shwey) is

translated as “the way of the wind and the water” or

“the natural forces of the universe – and these natural

forces influence everything in the world”, adding,

“Monte Carlo has very good Feng Shui and Prince

Albert II good chi!” Feng Shui studies the distribu-

tion of chi and determines the quality of chi through

time, position and location.

A poll of superyacht designers showed little demand

or interest in Feng Shui, with just a few exceptions:

Bannenberg & Rowell – who were at the handover

of a Feadship to her owner in China last year with

dragons and drums galore – only recently had their

first Feng Shui-influenced request: for the orienta-

tion of a desk.

Tony Dixon of Redman Whiteley Dixon says: “Some

of the Feng Shui theories are similar to those we

employ as designers in the normal course of our

work”, adding that, “a few clients like to discuss the

elements of Feng Shui and make adjustments to

create their own feel of harmony”.

Miguel Queda of Ciarmoli Queda Studio (CQS), who

has also designed a number of stores for top brands,

such as Jimmy Choo in China, gives examples on

yachts: “the place where you sleep is very impor-

tant so mattresses made with natural materials are

specified”, and: “In all projects we pay attention to

details such as the absence of mirrors in the bed

area as this can affect restful sleep. Beds are never

made in metal as this material conducts energy”.

Ancient Chinese believed that the date when a roof

goes on a building is when it is ‘born’ however, for yachts,

it is not the date of superstructure being lowered

into place but the official launch date, according

to Nicky Fraser. “This should be an auspicious day

in the Chinese calendar with good celestial energy

– incidentally the full moon (when the lunatics are

out!) is inauspicious”. Dickie Bannenberg notes that

keel laying is also considered a key date: “We don’t

consult Feng Shui specialists but have clients who

do consult for auspicious dates – including when to

pay us..!”

FENG SHUI IN A FEW WORDS

Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system

of harmonizing the human existence with

the surrounding environment. The term

“Feng Shui” literally translates as «wind-

water» in English. It is one of the Five

Arts of Chinese Metaphysics, classified

as physiognomy (observation of appea-

rances through formulas and calculations).

The Feng Shui practice discusses archi-

tecture in metaphoric terms of «invisible

forces» that bind the universe, earth, and

man together, known as qi/chi/energy.

Historically, Feng Shui was widely used to

orient buildings—often spiritually signi-

ficant structures such as tombs, but also

dwellings and other structures—in an

auspicious manner. Depending on the

particular style of Feng Shui being used,

an auspicious site could be determined

by reference to local features such as

bodies of water, stars, or a compass.

Nicky Fraser, who is publishing a book about

Monaco’s own good Feng Shui, did a consultation

for an owner of a sailing boat using the Ming Gua

School, calculating North as the bow – the direction

heading. As a boat moves in all directions the Ming

Gua School is the only school of Feng Shui that

can be utilized. Calculations are used to determine

a person’s Ming Gua number taking into account

their birth date and sex. Reading the portents one

comes up with four auspicious and four inauspi-

cious directions – and the centre.

The basic idea is to enhance the auspicious ones and

‘cure’ the inauspicious. The diagram shows South,

the most auspicious direction, as representing

“fame, success, reputation and the end of the journey”

– showing off, stern-to in St Tropez perhaps. Fire is

the element here (a light in the cockpit) and it is fed

by wood – the teak cockpit sole and wooden helm.

North represents the beginning of the journey and

one’s career. Water is the element, seawater ever

present here, being fed by metal (the anchor and

chain). The other two auspicious directions are

South East, for wealth, blessings and growth – en-

hanced by a picture of two dolphins – and East, for

health, vitality and family – enhanced by a family

photo. The centre is where the energies meet and is

called the Tai Chi – a potent energy directly in the

middle of the table for this boat, energizing people

playing games, working or eating together.

Inauspicious directions are cured with all sorts of

items, including wind chimes, a conch shell filled

with sand, metal games, a pair of binoculars (the

union of two eyes) or crystals and the one that

Nicky Fraser gives most importance to – a statue of

Mazu, goddess of the sea.

FENG SHUI SYMBOLS

Certain traditional schools of Feng Shui use many

symbols for bringing prosperity. Mandarin Ducks

stand for love and marriage, the Tortoise symbolizes

protection and stability, while Koi Fish stands for

abundance.

Good Luck Coins: Gift somebody with three coins

tied with red ribbon (for wealth & luck for giver and

receiver).

Three-legged Moon Frog: With a coin in its mouth,

inside the entrance door (for luck & prosperity,

wealth & fortune and a long life).

Dragon Turtle: A golden one in the South-East corner

(to make business prosper and improve relationships).

Golden Cat of Abundance and Protection: a two-

sided cat, one side smiling and holding out left paw,

the other side frowning, holding a broom (represen-

ting good fortune, to attract money and to sweep

away troubles, respectively).

Golden Pigs: a pair of these are a symbol of

honesty, initiative and diligence, good when setting

up a new business or home (bringing prosperity and

happiness).

The Three Star Gods: the most sacred of all Feng

Shui deities (Health, Wealth and Longevity).

Bells: hang small bells outside the door, facing north

and west (prosperity).

Wealth Bucket: a container filled with coins, placed

in the north-west corner, but not displayed. Keep it

in a cabinet or drawer.

Indoor plants: place plants in the south-east (wealth).

Fish: three gold fish in a bowl (prosperity).

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, ECOCHI®

SHARES SOME TIPS FROM THE

FORM SCHOOL OF FENG SHUI

FOR SUPERYACHT DESIGN:

Health for an individual is when chi flows

freely through the body nourishing every

cell. The same is true for a space. Ancient

Chinese philosophy teaches us that we

have a measure of control over our lives and

that by using Feng Shui techniques we can

balance Chi and maximize good luck.

1. Proper door alignment is critical for good

Feng Shui. An oversized door opening into

a small space like a bathroom (head) means

guests will be in there very often with indi-

gestion or sea-sickness. A remedy would be

to hang a mirror or beautiful art on the out-

side of the door.

2. A yacht is already rich with Water ener-

gy so designers should stay away from dark

colors like black or navy blue and uneven

patterns or shapes. This creates too much

water energy, which can result in very un-

comfortable journeys. The Water element is

deep, dark and still the energy of going wit-

hin. One can get lost in oneself, overthink,

be lethargic and sleep too much, become

confused or even depressed.

3. Avoid spiral staircases without risers. This

causes chi to escape, acting like a hole in the

centre of the ship. A Feng Shui cure for this

scenario? Glue 5 lucky Chinese coins under

the first and last stair.

4. Position your bed against a solid wall so

you can see the door to your room but be

sure not to be in line with it. The wall symbo-

lically protects you, your dreams and goals.

The sightline to the door keeps you in control

and in the power position.

5. Looking for passion onboard? Red fresh

flowers are sure to spice things up! Pink,

mauve and peach bring the energy (chi) of

romance and love into your bedroom.


Sailing a sweet course

Louise Simpson reviews Ducasse Education’s tailor-made culinary program for yacht chefs.

It’s 8am as my Mini Cooper Cabrio motors into Cap

d’Ail. The harbour is still asleep as I drive to the far

side where several of the world’s most i mpressive

superyachts lie. These majestic white whales dwarf

the catamaran minnows on the other side of the

jetty. These cruise liner-sized floating empires

provide gainful employment for crews of up to two

dozen full-time staff and a depository for priceless

works of art and state-of-the-art technology. Some

contain private cinemas, helipads, swimming pools,

gyms and even music recording studios. The typical

staff-to-guest ratio is about two-to-one.

I step gingerly off the gangway onto the 65- metre

yacht and lodge my shoes into one of the shoe

pockets conveniently placed beside me. Guests

head right and upstairs into the staterooms, but I

dip left and downstairs into the staff quarters in the

submarine underbelly where I’ll be spending the

day in the yacht’s kitchen.

A tribute to gleaming inox sets the stage for Ducasse

Education’s two-day desserts and pastry course

that I shall be covering. World-renowned chef Alain

Ducasse has expanded into culinary arts training

with professional training centres in Argenteuil

(near Paris) and Yssingeaux (south of Lyon), as well

as a Paris-based school for amateurs. His latest in-

novation is a tailor-made culinary program for yacht

chefs with two and three-day courses designed to

address the complex issues of cooking onboard.

Ducasse looks at how to maximize the limited

equipment, manpower and storage that are the leit-

motifs of yacht cuisine.

Today’s course has been designed for six profes-

sional yacht chefs so I am relieved that I am only

here to write. I am the first to arrive so I grab the

chance to look around the kitchen. Space has been

optimized so that two fridges, two pizza ovens, a

steamer oven and a vacuum-packing machine have


been squeezed in. This kitchen is considered enor-

mous for a galley kitchen, even though it’s only the

size of a compact household kitchen. This goes to

show how small most galleys are.

Looking around me, I start to empathize with the

constraints of cooking onboard. I reflect upon how

single chefs in galleys five times smaller than this

are required to cook up breakfast, lunch and dinner

for numerous guests. Lone chefs have to mirror

high culinary standards for guests accustomed

to Michelin-starred perfection, but in submarine

conditions without the team of sous-chefs or limit-

less storage of their restaurant-based counterparts.

It’s an enterprise that even the most experienced

chef would find challenging.

As I ponder my own culinary inexperience, a pain au

chocolat comes my way with the welcome addition

of a strong noisette (the French version of a caffè

macchiato). Other chefs are beginning to arrive for

the course hailing from as far as South Africa and

New Zealand. The atmosphere is jovial as our trainer

chef Emmanuel Lacaille goes through the agenda

for the two-day program. We will learn how to

develop a range of original and balanced puddings

that could be adapted ad hoc as cocktail nibbles,

full-plated desserts or buffet and trolley options.

Day One will be spent on preparation and methods,

while Day Two will be devoted to assembly and

presentation. We finish our coffee and get down

to the business of preparing pastry, cream interiors

and biscuit bases that will later be turned into mul-

tiple different desserts. We work away for several

hours before taking a well-earned lunch break. Over

lunchtime sandwiches, I ask a French chef on my

right why he has decided to come on the course.

“As a yacht chef, the challenges are many and

varied”, he says. “We are in a completely different

culinary environment than in a traditional kitchen.

We’re on a boat that moves. We have storage capa-

cities that are much smaller than in a restaurant. We

must constantly renew ourselves, we must constantly

look for new ideas. We work all alone. We need to

prepare meals everyday for the same people, which

means that we need new recipes, new ideas, new

techniques.”

The conversation turns to the issue of how to pro-

duce restaurant-quality food from galley kitchens.

The chefs are surprisingly open about the challenges


of producing sumptuous breakfasts, lunches and

dinners daily to guests that have high expectations.

“It’s hard to compete with the quality produced by a

restaurant that has 25 chefs in the kitchen working

on each diner’s meal,” says one chef.

Another points out that the owners themselves often

provide some respite.

“Luckily for me, my owners don’t want Michelin-starred

cuisine every night,” he says. “Last summer, I cooked

chicken and chips three times in just one week.”

Meanwhile, two antipodean chefs are busy chatting

about sous-vide cooking on the other side of

the kitchen. Jaded by years of witnessing subtle

one-upmanship at culinary events, I’m surprised

by the camaraderie amongst the chefs. I find their

amiable openness striking.

After lunch, I leave the chefs making raspberry coulis

and chocolate-filled cakes with the promise that I’ll

return the next day to see the final results. On my

way out, I take the chance to meander upstairs into

the yachts’ staterooms: all dark wood paneling and

rich, rather British-looking upholstery. I find myself

bumping into a Manet painting and a gold chess

set on a green-and-white marble checkerboard

before opening a door to find a walnut-inlaid walk-

in cupboard for several hundred wine glasses. I step

off the yacht blinking into the sunlight.

The next afternoon, I arrive to find the completed

desserts in the upstairs dining room bordered by

Velazquez still lifes. The table is chock-a-block with

sweet confections from small cakes to verrines and

tarts.

I ask the chefs what they have learnt from their

two-day program. They talk about new recipes and

new techniques. They talk about the presentation

and preparation of each recipe and about how to

transfer a large dessert into a small canapé. As

they speak, I hear the same word repeated through

their conversation: “alone”. Above and beyond the

new recipes and techniques, I realize that Ducasse

Education provides these onboard hermits with the

chance to meet and exchange ideas with other on-

board chefs like themselves. Already for that reason

alone, these chefs will go home happy.

Meet YPY Monaco

Last May, the Monaco branch of Young Professionals in Yachting celebrated its first year of existence. This new Monaco-based yachting actor has the distinction to only be reserved to business professionals under 40 years-old. Here we meet with 5 of its founding board members.

Hello everyone, could you please present YPY

Monaco in a few words?

Lisa Peck: YPY is a not-for-profit organization

for the next generation of yachting professionals

working in land‐based yachting positions that are

passionate about what they do and want to learn

more about their industry. With the success of the

Fort Lauderdale branch launched in 2009, we rea-

lised that there was a need for the same support

here in Monaco and the response we’ve had has

been overwhelming.

What are your goals exactly?

LP: Today’s YPY members will be tomorrow’s de-

cision makers in yachting. Our goal is to give them

a stable professional network and a solid ethical

approach to business, so that they can take yach-

ting into its next phase. We strive to educate our

members about yachting, engage them in ethical

business practice and facilitate their professional

success. We organize educational and developmental

workshops each month on various topics such as

“The role of Media in Yachting”, “an evening with

Oceanco” and “Mastering Public Speaking” and in

addition to the educational aspect, our meetings serve

as a platform for members to engage with others in

the industry. It is through these networks that we hope

to increase trust and transparency across our industry.

Don’t you think being young and moral is a bit naïve

in a yachting business run by high financial issues?

Sacha Williams: Not at all. The majority of our industry

operates ethically, regardless of age, and the bad

habits of a few mavericks should not detract from

that. There are plenty of great role models to take the

lead from and if newcomers are encouraged to work

to high standards from the outset, they will carry that

ethos with them for the rest of their careers. And it’s

not just about ethics, YPY is breaking down barriers

by enabling people to get to know each other out-

side of the office and improve their relationships with

colleagues and competitors alike.

What is the opinion of senior yacht professionals (+40)

about YPY? Do you receive any support from them?

Alex Treleani: They have been very supportive;

several of them have been presenters at our mee-

tings. Norma Trease from Salamanca Group spoke

about their new marina and also how to build a

career in the industry. Mark Duncan (YPI) gave a

fantastic presentation about the evolution of mar-

keting in yachting over the years. Our purpose is

to educate and improve ourselves as the younger

generation of the industry, meaning the experience

of senior professionals is invaluable. We want

them to be involved and though they cannot join

as members, those who support our cause can

become honorary members.

All members shall be between 21 and 40.

What if I am 41 next year? My membership is

automatically cancelled?

Portia Hart: No, people can stay on as members

for 2 years after they turn 40 and so far we haven’t

actually had anyone pass the age limit. As the goal

of YPY is to help younger people with less expe-

rience, we anticipate that for those over 40, who

have a lot of experience and good networks, they

might come back to support as presenters and

sponsors at our events! Of course, people of any

age are welcome to attend most of our events as

guests whenever a topic takes their interest.

Are there connections between YPY South Florida

and YPY Monaco?

Peter Murray Kerr: Yes, we speak regularly about the

events we’re organizing and our members are also

allowed to attend each other’s events when they’re

in the area. We always organise a net working break-

fast at the major boat shows to meet each other.

Are you planning on opening up any more

branches?

LP: Yes, we’re currently working with the Dutch

Young Professionals about becoming a part of YPY

and we’re also in the process of setting up a London

branch too; we actually have some England based

members attending the Monaco meetings at the

moment!

Conditions to join YPY Monaco:

Members must be shore based professionals working in the yachting industry and under the age of 40

before they join.

Useful information about the YPY Monaco monthly meetings:

• When: the 2nd Thursday of every month

• Where: the Monaco Yacht Club (but may change for more social events)

• Annual fee: € 100 (Many companies pay for their staff)

• One off attendance non-members fee: € 20

Fifteen days in the tropical forests of Africa

Travel journal by Philippe Mondielli, Scientific Director of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

In September 2011, I set off for Cameroon for fifteen

days to discuss forest conservation in the country

with the new students at the Centre of Social Ex-

cellence (CSE). I am also taking advantage of this

trip to organise a visit to the primary forests which

are currently managed by certified companies with

Bastien Sachet, Director of the NGO The Forest Trust.

This visit to the managed forests will provide me with

the information necessary to support the Prince Albert II

of Monaco Foundation’s awareness campaigns.

Yaoundé Airport: Bastien and I have hardly stepped

off the plane when the humid air, spicy smells and

warm light of Africa overwhelm us. This continent of

extremes, where wildlife still appears to be preserved,

opens its arms to us once again.

We are welcomed by the students who come from

Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo,

Angola, Gabon and the Central African Republic.

They all tell us how pleased they are to be learning

sustainable forestry alongside international experts,

foresters and anthropologists.

After an hour’s drive from Yaoundé, we leave the as-

phalt road aboard our four-wheel drive for six hours

of slippery wet tracks, where logging trucks trans-

porting huge trunks can suddenly appear or get

stuck in the middle of the track. After a bumpy ride


marked by episodes of skidding and getting stuck

in the mud, with the fall of night, we finally arrive

exhausted at a bush hotel. Beetles and all kinds of

insects await me in my room. I am not really alone,

surrounded by this rich and multi-coloured biodi-

versity. The bed with its mosquito net becomes a

refuge for the city dweller that I am. A comparison

with the zoo comes to my mind. But it is no longer a

wild animal in the cage, but a man who is protecting

himself from nature.

The next day, we travel to a sustainably managed

forest with which The Forest Trust has been wor-

king for several years. A forest whose trees are

selected for felling according to specific criteria

and with respect to the surrounding vegetation. For

several years, we have known that placing natural

areas in a glass case is unfortunately not effective.

The best protection for a natural area is to give it

economic value. By managing a forest sustainably,

we are giving it such value and protecting it at the

same time. In this forest concession, I take part in

a staff training session on reduced impact logging

for tropical trees - very much sought after in the

building industry - provided by a French instructor

who maintains and cares for the forests of Versailles

in France.

For the concession lumberjacks gathered together

today, it is a question of acquiring expertise. For

me, it is discovering a respectful relationship on the

part of humans in relation to the tree. I learn about

the tree and its environment and how to remove it

with the minimum impact. An enormous chainsaw

comes into play, then the motor stops. The giant,

still standing, seems to weaken, the breath of the

forest suspended in time waiting for the fateful

moment when it begins to shake then collapse with

a thundering noise. It is a world on the ground. A

traumatic sight for the naturalist I am but the sacri-

fice is essential for the survival of this environment.

The conditions in which the felling takes place

respect the forest and the people living there. No

clear-cutting here; the trees that have reached

maturity are referenced, geolocated, described in

the smallest detail with the help of the indigenous

pygmies. During the identification phase, worship

«THE BEST PROTECTION FOR A NATURAL AREA IS TO GIVE IT

ECONOMIC VALUE. BY MANAGING A FOREST SUSTAINABLY, WE ARE

GIVING IT SUCH VALUE AND PROTECTING IT AT THE SAME TIME»


and hunting areas, as well as biodiversity hotspots

are preserved with great care. During the logging

phase, for every tree cut down, three shoots of the

same species are replanted. The exploited forest

area differs little from a virgin forest.

All around, nature seems to have filled up this space

in just a few weeks. Suddenly, a muffled sound in

the branches lets us imagine that we have probably

disturbed an ape. These cut down trees allow the fo-

rest to continue to live, the local populations to flou-

rish and entrepreneurs to benefit from this timber with

its unique characteristics for ship and urban building.

Heading back to the capital in the gentle light of the

end of the day, we pass in front of a clear-cutting of

the primary forest exploited for intensive farming. Our

driver tells us, with great emotion, about land being

bought by foreign industrialists, the forest being

cleared in its entirety then the remains with no com-

mercial value being burnt. Today all that remains is

a mud field, animals chased away, families ordered

to go and live elsewhere; a deathly silence and apo-

calyptic vision which cannot leave one insensitive.

Fifteen days later, I am at the Monaco Yacht Show to

defend an initiative: the Wood Forever Pact. This is

a programme that encourages yachting professionals

to take an interest in the origin of the timber they offer

and in so doing to protect the world’s largest forests.

I return from this trip with the unwavering conviction

of the value of the Wood Forever Pact. If the world’s

most luxurious boats show interest in products derived

from these sustainably managed forests and are

keen to achieve excellence at environmental level,

the entire yachting industry is likely to change and

become exemplary with regard to the forests, the

WOOD FOREVER PACT

As part of its actions to fight against defores-

tation, the Foundation launched the Wood

Forever Pact in 2010, to promote the use of

wood harvested from sustainably managed

forests within the yachting industry. Promoting

the use of certified wood is the best way of

preventing deforestation, protecting biodiver-

sity and combating poverty in the tropical rain-

forest regions. For the yachting sector, which

strives for excellence and which is already

involved in environmental efforts, this is also

a way of ensuring that no wood from illegal

logging is used.

Summer love stories in Monaco

From July 12 to September 7, the exhibition ArtLovers showcases a selection of forty major art works from the Pinault collection at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.

ArtLovers illustrates the links and relation ship, visible

or secret, with anterior works. The exhibition bears

witness to the diversity of the Pinault collection in

bringing together paintings, sculptures, installations,

videos, and drawings of artists of the generations

from the sixties to the present from diverse geogra-

phic origins (Europe, America, Asia, Middle East).

Through quotations, allusions, references, parodies,

praise, criticism, diversion, remakes, appropriation,

reuse etc, ArtLovers explores the extraordinary

dynamics of inspiration, of transformation, of the

production of forms and ideas emerging from the

diversity of the intertwining relationships between

the art works.

For Martin Bethenod, curator of the exhibition, “with

ArtLovers we are going to explore all the ways and

the modalities that artists use to appropriate the

works of other artists, transform them and to make

of them in their turn new works of arts. It’s a concept

which has always existed: the Renaissance in Europe

advocated the reuse of the sculpture of the art of

Antiquity. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Picasso

constantly worked and borrowed from Velazquez as

did Francis Bacon. Manet was a source of inspiration

for many artists of the 20th century.”

The idea of the intertextuality of art “in the second

degree” is thus the recurrent theme in the choice

of works presented at Monaco, bringing together

some of the most famous pieces of art of the

collection along with rarer works, including fifteen

never before shown in earlier exhibitions.

The exhibition ArtLovers brings together at the same

time some of the “icons” of the Pinault collection—

the most famous works of artists including major

ensembles (Maurizio Cattelan, Jeff Koons, Takashi

Murakami and his great polyptych created espe-

cially for the Palazzo Grassi….), but also rarer works,

some until now never before shown: from Rudolf

Stingel to Bertrand Lavier, Jonathan Monk and

Sherrie Levine. A third of the artworks exhibited

have never been shown in precedent exhibitions of

the Pinault collection.

“These lovers of art are the collectors, as is François

Pinault, but the artists themselves first of all” adds

Martin Bethenod. “The exhibition originated from

the idea that artists love art, are nourished by art,

appropriate or divert art, transform it and make it

live; so, these lovers of art are first of all the artists.

But the lovers are also the collectors! I believe that

the dynamism and amplitude of a collection such as

this one of François Pinault’s can only function on the

basis of passion, of the love of works and of artists.”

The 24th Monaco Yacht Show

House of Fine Yachting

This September 24, the greatest mess of superyachting will be staging in the Principality of Monaco welcoming the best worshippers from worldwide.

This year, the 24th Monaco Yacht Show will even be the biggest ever with an expanded exhibition area

and berthing, opening space for around 110 spectacular super & megayachts in the Port Hercules.

© Tomvano


While the historic port of Monaco has been used to

hosting 100 luxury yachts for each edition of the

show, the new extension perfectly matches the increa-

sing demand for exhibiting larger yachts in Monaco.

“Last year’s MYS appeared to herald the beginnings

of a recovery in the yachting market and it seems

today that some yachting statistics are close to

pre-crisis figures, in terms of volume, with order

books and the demand for finance on the increase”

said Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the

Show, “During the last two to three years, builders

have been noticing an increasing demand for vessels

over 100m. From 2014 and the following years, the

Monaco Yacht Show will now be able to berth these

giants for all to see”.

For all to see… and a few to buy them! This annual,

one-of-a-kind event attracts industry leaders but

also billionaires from around the world that will be

walking the docks to catch up on the latest super-

yacht trends and maybe be tempted to acquire

these Jewels of the Seas whilst in the glamorous

setting of Monaco.

And even though yacht owners and high-end yach-

ting connoisseurs are already used to attending

the show every year, the MYS Organisers aims at

attracting new visitors that only ask for being super-

yacht lovers. “The Monaco Yacht Show began as a

superyacht broker-oriented show in 1991 and has

considerably changed since then, riding the wave of

a fantastic market growth” says Gaëlle Tallarida, “the

show has thus become a legitimate and grand am-

bassador to promote super yachting worldwide. For

a few months, we have been developing new projects

to reach new markets and promote superyachting

towards a wealthy clientele that have never really

thought about enjoying a yacht but that can really

afford one. This year’s advertising campaign has

been more business and lifestyle media -oriented.

We also coorganised a VIP event in Shanghai and

set up joint actions notably with private clubs of

high net-worth members”.

Behind this B2C-oriented repositioning, the MYS

brings together all crafts of the industry that be-

nefit from an international promotion. A complete

range of the luxury yachting activities is presented

by the exhibitors in Monaco: superyacht builders

and brokerage houses, yacht designers, tender com-

panies, top-of-the-range nautical suppliers or yach-

ting services. But the MYS also means the presence

of luxury brands specializing in high-end services

and products like private jets, helicopters, bespoke

furniture, tableware, decorative accessories as well

as contemporary pieces of art and design. For the

sixth consecutive year, Ulysse Nardin returns as

official sponsor of this 2014 MYS, where it will show-

case its finest collections of luxury watches.


The Monaco Yacht Show also praises the men that

make life on board so enjoyable and unique: the crew

members. 2014 will launch the very first MYS C&C

Lounge, exclusively dedicated to the captains and

crew members that will attend the show. “ Offering

a real lounge especially for crews has become es-

sential and natural for us. We wanted to thank them

for their key role onboard. The Monaco Yacht Show

must be the celebration of the superyachting way of

life, whether you are the owner or a crew member”

says Gaëlle Tallarida.

And what makes Monaco so special during the MYS

are the events held every day. Over one hundred

events are organised on board the yachts, at the

stands, or in the top hotels of the Principality.

Awards, business lunches, gala dinners and cocktail

parties are some of the many highlights that enable

formal and informal networking and often attract

those that can afford and do buy superyachts.

The 2014 MYS brand image: a new visual for a new strategy

Four questions to Gaëlle Tallarida, the mys managing director

For the year 2014, the Organisers of the MYS present a brand new advertising campaign totally different to the

previous campaigns. A change that leads to a new direction in the positioning of the MYS image, more centred on

the end clientele. As the yacht show is known to be the first superyacht gathering in the world, it has de facto the

responsibility to represent and thus promote a whole industry among ship owners and future yacht purchasers.

Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, replies to our four questions about the new

development dynamics that the MYS wants to instil through this graphic chart.

Why a new advertising campaign?

These five last years, the superyacht market

showed too high a reliance vis-à-vis the existing

clientele. Naturally, its main stakeholders opted

for a reference event such as the MYS, with much

higher expectations: promote the superyachting

among a wealthy clientele that is not necessarily

acquainted with the pleasure of purchasing a yacht

while they can easily afford doing so.

This new advertising campaign is the illustrated

rendering of retargeting the marketing strategy of

the MYS in order to enter a new niche of interna-

tional potential wealthy clients and above all, give

them the opportunity to find out more about this

exclusive art of living.

What is the message to convey?

We want the MYS to become a genuine label in

superyachting; the ultimate prestige yacht show but

also, and more and more, the symbol of a certain art

of living, «a Yachting way of life»! It is about gathe-

ring the main companies or mainly those who even-

tually lead this sector, i.e. today’s «yachters» and

the future ones: the future captains of industry from

around here or wealth holders from emerging coun-

tries, where the knowledge of the «Yachting way of

life» is not yet culturally established.

Why a woman on the imagery?

It is not so much the choice of a woman model that is

important but its representation: her sophisticated

outfit with its white fabric lifted by the wind, like

the sail of a yacht, reminds us of the Haute Couture

collections. Each year, the MYS unveils a collection

of a hundred superyachts and megayachts, unique

as well as exceptional, of which about 40 are a

worldwide exclusivity.

We have in fact heightened this ultra chic universe

with the «House of Yachting» hallmark. Because in

these two fields, everything is possible, harmonious,

luxurious and the best materials are used.

Hence the imagery highlights only the yachts

exhibited? Yet, the MYS also means stands with

500 exhibitors.

No, not only. All the professions in relation to super-

yachting are shown in the imagery. The construction

of a superyacht involves dozens of fitting companies,

suppliers and craftsmen, who work on tailor-made

orders, propose upmarket yachting equipments or

develop new technological solutions. Each unit is the

master work of hundreds of specialised and passionate

employees. We listen carefully to the expectations and

requests of the market professionals. The MYS has

to be a main ambassador and draw with it the whole

industry to promote with the exclusive clientele.

THE UPPER DECK LOUNGEFor the third year, the MYS Upper Deck Lounge will be offering a refined and designed

living area for the show’s business elite and the Superyacht end clientele.


For 250 years Baccarat has been the symbol of the art de vivre à la Française, an icon of exquisite savoir faire, passion and elegance and has graced the tables and rooms of the most exclusives places in the world.

Since the beginning of the XXth century Baccarat has had a strong relationship with the yachting world counting among its clients the Duke of Windsor and Aristotle Onassis. For the Duke’s yacht in 1930 Baccarat created a perfectly shaped glass bearing the seal of the Duke and that of the boat and resting on a square foot that could withstand any sea movement; for the Christina a beautiful tumbler with the enameled Greek flag adorned with the letter omega, the initial of its owner.

Since then and to this day Baccarat savoir faire has constantly enchanted boat owners, with the beauty of its cut and engraved pieces, the elegance of its lines and shapes and the unrivaled light reflections magnified by the sea thus transforming each moment in an unforgettable journey.

Welcome to the

MYS C&C LOUNGEThe Organisers of the Monaco Yacht Show will be hosting the superyacht

captains and crews in an exclusive lounge for the four days of the 2014 show.

Located at a few steps to the show venue,

aside the new Monaco Yacht Club, the MYS

C&C Lounge will offer services of high quality:

animations, relaxation area with massages,

a lounge area to meet up with other crew

members and chill out: a real oasis of peace

and relaxation away from the bustling MYS!

According to Gaëlle Tallarida, the MYS

Managing Director, “offering a real lounge

especially for crews has become essential and

natural for us. We know a few crew facilities

around the show already exist but our main

concern was to really welcome those men and

women who are the heart and soul of a yacht”.

She also stresses out the importance of the cap-

tain and crewmembers on board a yacht: “their

role is incommensurate: their relationships with

the owner are unique and privileged, based on

complete trust. How could it be otherwise with

«men» who are entrusted the management of

a floating palace that is worth several millions

of Euros? The Monaco Yacht Show must be the

celebration of the superyachting way of life,

whether you are the owner or a crew member”.


So, from next 24 to 27 September, the C&C Lounge

will open its doors to especially welcome the

captains and crew members of yachts exhibited

in the port from 9am to 6pm first, then will

extend the invitation to all other captains &

crews that can reach the lounge from 2pm.

If life on board is particularly hard during the

MYS with everyone on the alert for receiving

visits of potential buyers of charterers, each

free minute is a life-belt out of the intensity of

show: so as to maximize their relaxation onsite

whilst standing by their timetable, a pontoon

facing the lounge will be set for crews coming

by tender or by the MYS shuttle boats. The C&C

Lounge’s timetable itself will also depend on the

crew’s daily schedule with breakfast until 11 am,

a buffet lunch or an open bar from noon.

USEFUL INFORMATION:

MYS C&C LoungeOpen from September 24 to 27, 2014

ComoExhibitor Feadship

Soon to be the envy of all others, the tri-deck 155 Yacht is Sunseeker’s new flagship. Set to launch in summer 2014, the 155 Yacht will be the largest and most advanced yacht we have ever produced. Accommodating up to 12 guests and 10 crew in sublime surroundings, the 155 Yacht has both style and space in abundance. Ideally suited for long distance cruising, the latest generation of hull design allows the 155 to effortlessly reach the previously unreachable.

Featuring a modern bow and whaleback sheer, Como’s exterior design reflects the owner’s very specific ideas. The yacht has unprecedentedly large windows in the hull and a great deal of glass in the superstructure, which give spectacular uninterrupted views from the owner’s stateroom. Como comprises two and a half decks – an exception for Feadship in recent times when most projects have had four or five. The wheelhouse is slightly recessed into the main deck structure, re- emphasising the streamline of the design while creating a gigantic outside deck. This wonder-ful party area can also be lowered to facilitate a nice breeze or raised to create a giant terrace protected from the elements.

Maxima 47, the Admiral displacement yacht de-signed by Architect Luca Dini in collaboration with Admiral Centro stile. It is a three-deck yacht with steel hull and aluminum superstructure providing extremely large spaces and functionality. The soft and sinuous lines give the yacht a strong personality and optimize the space on board. Careful study of lighting design, together with a lot of natural light conveyed by large windows, plays a key role in creating comfor-table and emotional atmospheres. The yacht has an extensive range for long cruises (over 6,000 nautical miles!) and is a real floating house with wide spaces and discrete luxury.

Launched in Cape Town on May 2014, Farfalla is the first Raised Saloon version of the SW 102 model. Notable features of Farfalla, which will make her the ideal cruising yacht, include a spacious flush deck, a tender garage for a 4 meters dinghy and a mainsail captive winch. The yacht interior follows Southern Wind Shipyard’s most popular lay-out, with Owner’s cabin forward, three guest cabins amid ship and crew quarters aft. They yacht will be available for charter starting from September 2014.

Mangusta 165 E is the 8th unit of Maxi Open Mangusta fleet flagship and the first one of the new “E” series. “E” for “Evolution”. There are a number of new aesthetic-structural features, fruit of the owner’s requests which the shipyard’s design department interpreted perfectly and integrated into the yacht: a new side window, a large single panel of glass by the main salon and a more modern, aggressive flybridge. In addition, there is a ‘top’ performance: not only dynamism and stability, but also quality, excellence and wellbeing onboard. This yacht is also unique because of the wealth and quantity of the materials onboard: more than 10 kinds of woods, at least 7 different kinds of marble or lots of precious leathers.

Design Francesco Paszkowski

Year 2014

The Sanlorenzo 40 Alloy is a fast superyacht in aluminium with semi-planing hull. Sanlorenzo conceived a totally inno-vative project, while maintaining Sanlorenzo’s stylistic traits; the result is a superyacht in a class of its own, featuring elegant flowing lines and absolutely innovative elements: exclusive bathing terraces that can be tilted down onto sea, or the gull-doors.

The 26m wallyace_3 is the third unit of the innovative displacement line featuring huge open spaces and an unmatched degree of light and quality. The unique aft owner’s suite has direct access to Terrace-on-the-sea, while the social spaces blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. the big garage stores a 6-m tender plus all the usual toys and the spacious galley and crew quarters mean that guests can be pampered in great style. Whisper-quiet, fuel- efficient diesel engines can take non-stop from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, while an exceptional hull design and gyroscopic stabilisation ensure a smooth and stable ride.

Design Wally

Year 2014

Seductive. Inspirational. Versatile. The tri-deck Sunseeker 40 Metre Yacht epitomizes everything that is Sunseeker. Accommodating up to twelve guests in sublime surroundings, the sheer scale and layout of this immense yacht is awe-inspiring. Expertly finished using ultra-modern materials and techniques, the 40-metre yacht is one of the finest examples of modern day motor boat building.

The 75 Wallypower integrates design with innovative technology, and combines the successful open-air living characteristics of the wallytender, with the hull lines of the 118 wallypower resulting fast, comfortable, stylish, safe, and seaworthy. She features three different social areas: the forward cockpit and sunbathing pad, the saloon under the superstructure and the aft cockpit and sunbathing pad: the epitome of the Wally inside-outside living concept. All the areas feature large dining tables to comfortably seat over 20 people for formal dining! Two MAN diesel engines generating 3,600 Hp and driving KaMeWa water-jets provide a max speed of over 44 knots. The interceptor system combined with the V hull shape allow for smooth and comfortable navigation at speed, giving exceptional stability with no slamming or pitching.
