One of the most elusive superyachts in the world, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> has captured the imagination of many since her launch in 2011 and leaves onlookers perplexed with her one-of-a-kind exterior. With a rich history and a daring owner at the helm, here is the story behind the realisation of one of the most innovative superyachts in the world today.Life for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> started in 1981 when the then 130-metre-long vessel was launched as the HNLMS Piet Hein (F811) at the Koninklijke Schelde shipyard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. She served in the Royal Dutch Navy for over two decades and covered countless miles as she participated in several international missions. The vessel then changed hands for the first time and was inducted into UAE military service in 1998, serving under the name Al Emarat (F 02) in its navy until 2006.&nbsp;<iframe width="710" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G0ypwiTdQsg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>Iskandar Safa, Chairman of the ADM shipyard that was behind the build of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a>, explains how the vessel went from frigate to superyacht.&nbsp;“The owner was driven by sentiment and was looking for a yacht that had a backbone of a frigate which was successfully used by the navy of his country and he wanted the entire project to be carried out in Abu Dhabi.”According to designer Jacques Pierrejean, the man behind the abstract lines of the vessel, the project started with a visit to the naval vessel and talks of a small refit project. As he and the rest of the build team would later realise, the project soon turned into a far more complex operation, nothing short of a new build project.&nbsp;As the dismantling process got underway in Abu Dhabi, the team, led by Project Manager Johan Valentijn, found that much of the existing structure of the vessel would have to be replaced. And so, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> was stripped to the bone and essentially rebuilt using materials such as carbon fibre for an extra-tough foundation. It was during this period that the designers also saw the opportunity to extend the stern area of the vessel which would eventually serve as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a>’ pool deck, taking the overall length of the new vessel to 141-metres. Jacques Pierrejean explains: “We proposed to extend the aft section of the boat by roughly 12 metres, which would allow us enough space to fit the outdoor bar and pool area. That turned out to be an important part of the design for me as I felt, for the overall fluidity of the shape of the yacht, this made a big difference.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/17057/image/large-223419474aaa9d47ae3ef5196b9f503d.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/17057"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> was launched at Port Zayed in Abu Dhabi in 2011 and spent the next four years in the area as she was outfitted and had her custom interior installed.During an intensive five-day sea trial phase, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> was pushed to her limit in terms of performance and guest satisfaction. In the shallow waters around Abu Dhabi, she managed to reach a speed of 29.9 knots, an impressive number considering the size of the vessel. “Thanks to her narrow hull and subsequent lower resistance, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> is able to reach a much higher speed with far less power,” says Valentijn.Inside, an impressive owner’s cabin is located on the forward upper deck, hidden underneath a giant glass dome that offers spectacular panoramic views to the outside. A second, ‘hidden’ suite within the suite provides the necessary privacy required by her owner. &nbsp;A special feature onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> that she shares with no other superyacht on the water is her ability to accommodate up to 60 overnight guests. Conventional maritime classifications in the big yacht segment would not allow for a vessel of her size to carry so many passengers, but with a new yacht rule set out by the owner, yachts such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> can now be built in Abu Dhabi under these special regulations. In addition to her guests, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yas141.0m (462'7&quot;)Koninklijke Schelde1981">Yas</a> is also home to up to 69 crew members when in full-service mode.&nbsp;

Greenline Yacht Interiors has announced that the interiors on board the 141 metre superyacht Yas have been completed after the company took over the scope of work previously commenced by other subcontractors in 2013.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152847/image/large-81bb8a158ee593109183b8c86e5ba445.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137375">Built by the Abu Dhabi Mar Shipyard, Yas is one of the top ten largest yachts in the world. Her exterior and interior design was designed by the Pierrejean Design Studio in France, who has created an ultra modern look and feel. She has a graceful exterior of fluid curves and volumes, and a particularly notable structural covering of glass.Greenline’s CEO and Chairman Samir Badro, comments, “2014 has been a very productive year for us. We are currently working on several projects and are glad and proud that the Yas Project has been now successfully completed.”On board, Yas accommodates up to 60 guests in total, as well as a crew of 56.

73 Metre superyacht Plan B completed

Yesterday the 73 metre superyacht Plan B (HDW hull number 422) left her building shed for the first time. Built by Abu Dhabi MAR Kiel (formerly HDW), the yacht was ordered before the crisis as part of an order for six yachts of all around the same size. Due to the economic crisis four yachts were cancelled and in addition to Plan B, the second yacht in the series, HDW #423, is still in-build. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/139217/image/large-1da9c21b5323efa5ae6d3558cda029e2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/139217">The hull of HDW 423 was recently completed by Abu Dhabi MAR Kiel and she will be outfitted by Nobiskrug in Rendsburg, who are part of the same group as Abu Dhabi MAR Kiel. HDW #423 is due for delivery in 2013 and she will have an interior by H2 Yacht Design. Superyacht Plan B features exterior design by the German design studio Focus Yacht Design. More photos to follow soon.
