Alex Pirard Yacht Design

Spanish yacht design studio Alex Pirard have unveiled their latest creation, the MY 215. The 65 metre concept is designed as a high performance yacht that makes use of the platform’s sleek and uninterrupted lines to focus on large and open exterior areas. With a beam of 11.3 metres and propelled by KaMeWa waterjets driven by three MTU engines, the MY 215 will reach a top speed of 30 knots.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157443/image/large-366bc91ee14d11f42e49b2c3c6bc1ac6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157443">It is from the upper deck where guests can access both forward and aft exterior areas, through the walk around deck layout. A hydraulically raised bimini forward of the cockpit provides shelter for guests wanting to relax in private. The aft facing deck offers a lounge area, perfect for enjoying the views whilst underway, with low bulwarks presenting spectacular views from this vantage point.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157444/image/large-de48749f9f513fc5192c12d00ee3047d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157444"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157445/image/large-24193b86920a1ee1ebc7e9eb804fb93b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157445">On the main deck aft below, Pirard has incorporated the already long overhang, which accommodates the two exhaust outlets, with an extendable hard-top awning made from a carbon fibre structure and glass paneling. This makes it possible to enjoy time outside on the aft deck at any time of the day, irrespective of the yacht’s heading when at anchor.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157446/image/large-39059e984a4d93a0e17faf0c568cbb1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157446"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157447/image/large-ba86d773e26587cfec2095ef3ba15f97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157447">Inside, the MY 215 is designed to offer accommodation for 12 in a luxurious owner’s suite with two folding terraces, and 5 spacious guest staterooms. The layout, décor and interior features are entirely customizable according to Pirard. The yacht will be manned by a company of 12 crew.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157448/image/large-58439e4faa8d92b33ea3746d90269b91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157448">By Charl van Rooy

Alex Pirard Design’s new MY 215 concept

Alex Pirard Yacht Design has send us the first images of Oronero, an exclusive limousine tender, built by hi-Tech Marine. The tender measures 12 meters in length, with a 3.80 metre beam. She has a maximum speed of 25 knots. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136667/image/large-3315acfd7f392cf7a50e339a3fb0fdb6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136667"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136668/image/large-f8f5be7fa3669656caeb060b749c65e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136668"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136669/image/large-fad863d7ef7a2db5ceb53a6cb48c71d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136669">The main feature of Oronero is the folding hard-top, which allows for secure and comfortable navigation in all weather conditions. In bad weather it is possible to close the hard-top, whilst on sunny days it is possible to fold up the roof, to create an open day boat feeling. She is in fact the first tender with a convertible and completely automatized hard-top in the world. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136670/image/large-c224286bc490133238e4878c5330c0f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136670">She also features two folding platforms, each on each side of the hull, which allows guests to enter the boat without stairs and without the need for dangerous movements. The yacht's hybrid engines reduce fuel consumption, and solar panels on the roof provide another source of power. Inside we find an interior that combines clear oak wood and beige leather with the carbonfibre, offering a high tech yet elegant ambience. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136671/image/large-8dfcdcb06bfffe8605e838c4ada53141.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136671">The boat will be in Monaco during the yacht show, but will not be in the show itself. You can visit her at the Monaco Marine Power Boats quai, close to the Monaco Yacht Club.

Hi-Tech Marine presents the new Tender 38 Oronero

The Bvcintoro project started in 1991 by Raul Gardini at the Tencara Shipyard, in Porto Marghera, the same constructor responsible of the build of Il Moro di Venezia and Mascalzone Latino, that took Italy to the America´s Cup. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128667/image/large-da4c13d68b302309bfe7546fd22bf9c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128667">At that time the Bvcintoro was set to be the most beautiful yacht in the world. A beautiful 60m superyacht designed by German Frers, that featured a fast hull, like in the America´s Cup, constructed from Epoxy, carbon and Kevlar composites. But in 1993, the construction of the yacht was put on hold, with only her hull finished. In 1999 the Tencara yard was sold to the Venezian entrepreneur Stefano Gavioli. Unfortunately, after the launch of Mascalzone Latino in 2002, he decided to stop activities at the yard. The result was that Bvcintoro was left uncompleted, and was parked in front of Tencara´s shipyard. In February 2009 a new owner invited Alex Pirard Yacht Design to develop an exterior design proposal. Though these images are just a preliminar study, Bvcintoro should have 2 carbon fibber masts, the first 61m tall, the second 45m, with around 2.100m2 of 3D laminated sails. The actual design plans to have a spacious deck with a glass enclosed deckhouse. The deckhouse should be constructed in carbon fibber and structural glass. The different doors, placed on each side, could slide and open or close the cabin to the exterior. The interior can be closed off, but if guests feel like sun, wind, and the water, they can open the sliding doors and get the feel of an open boat.The deckhouse features a navigation cockpit and a living room with a spacious saloon, a 12 places dinning table, a library and a bar. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128668/image/large-8d94cff26beec37554694b370f751c64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128668">In front of the deckhouse, there is an exterior lounge area. Covered by a high-tech bimini, guests can relax in a safe environment. In the stern there is another exterior guest area, with comfortable sofas and a sunbathing area with sunloungers. The interior layout can be arranged in different ways, depending on the requirements of the owner. One option consists on a Master Suite with a private living room, 1 VIP Cabin and 2 double cabins. In front the guest area, there are 4 cabins for the crew. The colour &amp; trim and materials could combine exclusive woods and leathers in order to create a comfortable and relaxed ambient.
