Aeroyacht International Ltd

Following significant interest in the recently launched design of the luxury performance catamaran released by Aeroyacht, worldwide sales agent YCO is pleased to announce that Wally has been signed on as the official shipyard. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129433/image/large-d1eeb1434c34fd98a913d9ee296fa6cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126749">Ben Bartlett, who heads up the specialised sail division of YCO and who masterminded the collaboration, hopes the first yachts will hit the water late 2011. “The levels of interest we have received in the Aeroyacht 110 so far indicate that this is an exciting and important development in the industry. This project will set new standards for performance cruising, combining an ecologically sound approach with both performance and luxury like never before.” says Bartlett. Wally has to date built nearly 40 advanced composite sailing yachts and the new facilities in Ancona will cement their position as world leaders in this area. The shipyard is one of the best equipped Pre-Preg composite facilities in the world, and boasts an impressive post-curing oven for yachts up to 80 meters. The yard’s technical office is highly specialised in the design, naval engineering, interior design and structural engineering of advanced composite yachts. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129434/image/large-9e33dc298bb290fce10e1f39013edebd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126750"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129435/image/large-a19ef12fadafb466b83f37d9d0ac7004.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126751">Gregor Tarjan, the founder of Aeroyacht said of the new relationship, “Wally is renowned for its groundbreaking designs, which constantly reinvent and reinterpret the traditional approach. Wally yachts are world class and stand alone both in performance and style. Given what we set out to achieve with the Aeroyacht 110 I don’t think there is a yard which could be better matched to us.” Heading up naval architecture on each project will be performance multihull specialists Morrelli &amp; Melvin, who will work closely with Aeroyacht and the shipyard. These are the famous multihull designers of world record cats such as Playstation and the US America's Cup winner Stars and Stripes and their expertise brings further credibility to the program. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129436/image/large-cd3207b9fe3f1116466ba124b259b830.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128216">“Wally has been approached by several multihull designers but had never found a project which would reflect our concept of combining performance, style, comfort and safety” says Luca Bassani, Wally President and founder. “With the Aeroyacht 110 however, the technical characteristics and the aesthetics match those of our own yachts and I was immediately convinced that we would finally be able to apply our philosophies to this multihull.” <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129437/image/large-2d39654773c3f90dab718d5734077995.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126752"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129438/image/large-5f1fc0d7c1268d2b315215c6434b655b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126753">“It was clear to us from the start that the choice of yard would be crucial to the concept’s ultimate success, and the synergies between the two brands made Wally our first and only choice for Aeroyacht. I am delighted that the partnership has been confirmed.” concludes Ben Bartlett at YCO.

YCO signs Wally Yachts to build Aeroyacht 110

Multihull passionate and expert Gregor Tarjan, founder of Aeroyacht International, and renowned designer Pete Melvin sat down together to think about what their dream luxury catamaran would be. They came with many innovative solutions, some of them never seen on a multihull of that size. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128213/image/large-213605b65ed9f8992d4d59e3ea2e5464.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128213">"Outside-In" design process Most of the time, yachts are designed the other way around. Large multihulls are loaded with equipment, staterooms and end up with two or three decks. Gregor says: "We first have conceptualized a pure sailing machine with a beautiful streamlined shape and then estimated the weight for a high-end, open plan luxury interior. Instead of fitting 6 small staterooms we prefer to offer our clients three large VIP suites in a fast sailing machine" <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128214/image/large-2fb08a9639a2f68b977d31241d4768ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128214">"Soft-chine" hulls Multiple Chines hull can be seen on racing sailboats, fast motor yachts and tenders. They increase the yacht structure stiffness, stability, performance thanks to less wetted surface, and improve esthetics. On the top of that Morrelli and Melvin have applied all their knowledge in fast hulls and bows out of the water design. The entire forward section of the Aeroyacht 110 hulls are forced up and will come out of the water keeping resistance to a minimum and increasing surfing capabilities Asymmetric dagger boards They are seen on smaller size catamarans but never before on a 110 footer. Retractable dagger boards increase windward performance and safety at sea. In the downward position, they enable the Aeroyacht 110 to sail close to the wind. In the upward position, the boat experiences less resistance and really "flies". The asymmetric boards also prevent the Aeroyacht 110 from tripping over the waves since the yacht offer no resistance and can slide sideways. They are also a great feature to reduce the draft and access really beautiful and private anchorages. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128215/image/large-883d7219008389dfd101ca72f72eb1fe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128215">Aeronautical engineering The design team in charge of the Aeroyacht 110 at Morrelli &amp; Melvin is made up of aeronautical engineers and structural designers. They have made the most out of the same tools used to develop aircrafts structures like complex computers programs that model Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Elements Method (FEM). They succeeded in keeping the structure as light as possible, yet strong enough to face the roughest sailing conditions. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128216/image/large-ce957e4fbb3c827918d5cfba07e5228f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128216">All these innovations were aimed at creating a super catamaran with a speed potential of over 32 knots and effortless cruising at 20 knots, in supreme yacht comfort and safety.

Aeroyacht's innovative super catamaran

Designed by Gregor Tarjan in collaboration with the renowned Multihull architects team of Morrelli &amp; Melvin Design and Engineering Inc, the Aeroyacht 110 is one of the most innovative superyachts. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126749/image/large-bad30d1fb0fe9d939c0b10bcfdaaf3cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126749">Gregor Tarjan, founder of Aeroyacht International Ltd commented: “I have long admired Wally yachts. Seeing nothing comparable to them among luxury catamarans, I decided it was time for me to launch my own supercatamaran. I have created the Aeroyacht 110 from scratch following the motto: no compromise on speed and beauty. She is the first model of a sleek new range (a 95' and 125' are in the works), representing the ultimate high-performance, supremely styled world traveler. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126750/image/large-61adb97be62577715f26c3dc096403c0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126750">     <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126751/image/large-c0137c606151f52a8fd91bb0346f736e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126751">I am privileged to be part of a most competent team including the famous naval architect Pete Melvin from Morrelli &amp; Melvin Design and Engineering Inc, and my friend Vincent Duchatelet, a talented French interior designer. I recently went on a round-the-world trip to find the best shipyards that we have licensed to build this extraordinary yacht”.
