In other words, it is at the heart of just about everything in the world as we know it.&nbsp;The custom yacht, with exterior styling by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/43" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cor D. Rover Design (Company)">Cor D. Rover</a> and interior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4998" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lawson Robb (Company)">Lawson Robb</a>, has been a long time in the making. The owner, an experienced yachtsman, spent several years carefully studying neighbouring vessels wherever his current yacht happened to be anchored.“He would pass comment and ask questions, which led to long conversations and preferences began to emerge,” says Capt. Booth. “He likes military looks, but not overtly so, a sense of movement even when sitting still, and feminine lines, but in a dangerous way like a hissing cobra or a lioness.”&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/101422/image/large-3455ab0542c1b229caf66cfbe411efdf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/101422">The owner’s team shared their notes with several leading yacht designers, who all came to the table with ready-made proposals. All except <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/43" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cor D. Rover Design (Company)">Cor D. Rover.&nbsp;</a>“How can I design you a custom yacht without knowing anything about you?” the Dutch designer asked. The owner was impressed by his honest but humble approach and they hit it off immediately. Months passed and Rover presented his concept for a sub-500GT, all-aluminium yacht to the owner during the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show. It was the start of project Phi.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179261/image/large-a782eaababff5705dc7b290e9884c734.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179261">Rover had already consulted with naval architect Perry van Oossanen and his design is based on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">van Oossanen’s</a> Fast Displacement XL hull form, which instead of prioritising volume aims to optimise hull length and performance within a given gross tonnage. The next step was to find a shipyard to build the yacht. After talking with top yards in Europe and beyond, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman&nbsp;</a>emerged as the ideal marriage for several reasons.“We had some disappointing meetings with yards who wanted to push their own platforms, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman&nbsp;</a>is accustomed to building aluminium sailing yachts that are completely different from one another,” says Capt. Booth. “They were also keen to build another motor yacht and most of the people who work there are passionate about sailing. When the boss visited the shipyard he knew they could build his dream boat.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/3557/image/large-1ba7dd89b128bf7603001dd496937775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/3557">All the same, taking on project Phi was a calculated risk for Royal Huisman. Their first motor yacht project, 36-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/644" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arcadia35.8m (117'5&quot;)Royal Huisman Shipyard BV2006">Arcadia</a> in 2006, was conventional in comparison with&nbsp;Phi, but the yard doesn’t shy away from challenges, its motto being: ‘If you can dream it, we can build it’. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179292/image/large-c2f50e7c2e61bb369e1cdc657b0e0980.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179292">“A motor yacht is generally simpler to build than a sailing yacht because it doesn’t have the heeling angles or sail handling systems and the hull structure doesn’t have to withstand the same loads,” says Jeroen Heemstra, one of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman’s</a> project engineers. “On the other hand, we are less accustomed to working with the complex shapes of the superstructure, stabiliser systems and features like the 16-tonne capacity swimming pool.”There is not a single straight line among the compound curves that make up the exterior styling of Phi. The hull sheer was inspired by the hood of an angry cobra and when combined with the ‘eyes’ of the forward fairleads and sea-blue <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1485" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Awlgrip (Company)">Awlgrip</a> paintwork with a hint of battleship grey, the yacht has a slightly menacing appearance. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179285/image/large-9c381deb9671ede4b1c6a463d6203f8d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179285">A defining feature of the exterior design is the glass-fronted ‘nooks’ in the bulwarks on the bridge deck and owner’s deck that can be used as recliners. More challenging for the yard was convincing the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) that the bulwark extensions of self-supporting glass were perfectly safe. Built into the metalwork and without a stanchion in sight, the stainless steel and teak caprails appear to be floating in mid-air.Another challenge was keeping the gross tonnage below the 500GT threshold and some ingenious solutions have been integrated into the design to exclude certain spaces from the volume calculations. Large fashion plates, for example, can add gross tonnage by partially enclosing the aft deck, so Phi has stylised fashion plates with ‘fingers’ of polished stainless steel inspired by T-1000, the shape-shifting android made of liquid metal in the Terminator franchise. In addition, the glass windbreaks between the fashion plates and the main salon reach only part way to the deckhead to avoid an enclosed space. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/111234/image/large-207f8bf485de0395681a00f217997799.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111234">Phi’s swimming pool on the main deck aft is just under seven metres in length, can be filled with fresh or sea water and has a counter-current jet for swimming. A patented system designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/43" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cor D. Rover Design (Company)">Cor D. Rover&nbsp;</a>allows the pool’s floor (clad in Esthec to create a design feature) to be raised on a chain drive to cover the pool. The water level is then topped up to cancel any surface effect while under way and an inflatable seal prevents leakage (there is also a dump tank if required). Heat recovered from the generator exhaust and chiller compressors can be used to heat the pool and onboard fresh water.Noticeable by their absence are the engine room ventilation shafts, which usually create a bottleneck at the entrance to the main salon. Phi’s&nbsp;engine room is quite far aft of the deck and the baffle-protected air intakes emerge outboard in the hull below the fashion plates. The surprisingly small ducting is the result of studying exactly how much air is required for the engine combustion.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179274/image/large-056766166cc1aec068f5a97c7c7b7ad4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179274">“We discovered that the engines need just 30 percent of the air typically shovelled into the engine room,” says Capt. Booth. “The rest is used for cooling and exits the room minutes later a few degrees warmer. Our engine room has its own AC system and reducing the amount of air passing through it meant we could reduce the size of the ducts and ventilation fans.”Stabilisation at anchor and under way is provided by two <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5108" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="VEEM Ltd. (Company)">VEEM</a> gyros in the engine room. Numerous options were studied by<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">&nbsp;van Oossanen,</a> including two pairs of fins and multiple smaller gyros. There are pros and cons associated with gyro stabilisers, but Capt. Booth was already familiar with them from previous yachts and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5108" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="VEEM Ltd. (Company)">VEEM</a> configuration provides the highest performance given the expected operational profile of the yacht.&nbsp;&nbsp;Another first is the exterior accent lighting powered by lasers. Such lighting usually relies on LEDs, but when they fail they leave unsightly gaps. Phi’s&nbsp;system comprises over 1,500 metres of optical fibres that are evenly illuminated by lasers. The only components that can fail are the lasers, which are housed inside the yacht and can be easily replaced.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179290/image/large-f5d0f0e98a57df7031f9fde1207bcb27.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179290">Multi-purpose design was of primary importance for the owner and this is reflected in the layout and custom furniture. “The owner questioned the need for multiple dining tables, for example,” says Booth. “When one is being used, what are others doing? The answer is nothing: they’re huge pieces of stationary furniture.”On&nbsp;Phi there is just one circular dining table on the main deck positioned partly outside the salon and half enclosed by six sliding panels of curved glass made by Rondal, Huisman’s sister company. When the watertight panes are automatically stacked out of sight in side-compartments (individual panes can also be opened depending on the wind direction), most of the dining table sits outside on the covered aft deck. Similar glass doors in the forward-facing master stateroom on the owner’s deck provide direct access to a private foredeck veranda. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Details of the interior by UK-based<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4998" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lawson Robb (Company)">&nbsp;Lawson Robb&nbsp;</a>have not been released, but the outfitters claim it is one of the most complex they have ever built and Capt. Booth insists it will be “very special indeed”. However, we can reveal that a highlight is a 300-bottle wine cellar under the corridor linking the five guest suites on the lower deck. The corridor floor is one-way glass while the base of the wine cellar is of mirrored glass, so the effect looking down will be of an endless array of wine bottles. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/111245/image/large-5274eed29409b07e4258dde77c616ca1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111245">Phi got under way at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> while 81-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6140" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sea Eagle II81.0m (265'9&quot;)Royal Huisman Shipyard BV2020">Sea Eagle II</a> was still in build. The three-masted schooner benefitted from concurrent design and stage gating methodologies designed to ensure the design and construction advanced smoothly, on budget and on schedule. The same processes have been applied to Phi and despite the logistical difficulties caused by the Covid pandemic, the motor yacht is slightly ahead of schedule. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168415/image/large-1cde6fae0ea037eab25cf136032ad529.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168415">The ‘Keep It Simple’ school of thought governed the whole product development process. The entertainment system, for example, relies on equipment that can be easily replaced and a simple, user-friendly iPad interface.“In the owner’s experience, entertainment systems on yachts are too complicated,” Capt. Booth explains. “For him it’s not a question of cost, but reliability, value for money and ease of use. We have off-the-shelf components that we can buy anywhere without having to call in a specialist technician, but the quality of experience for the user is exactly the same.” &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/179275/image/large-f2e6fe95b5fd4a3f1558f8dbdd14284d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/179275"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> uses the tagline ‘The Spirit of Individuality’ to describe its approach to yacht building.

Dedicated to the refit, repair and maintenance of large yachts from 20 to 75-metres, the Atollvic Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, regularly carries out work on some of the world’s most interesting yachts, none more so than last December’s refit of the classic tug Seawolf, for the fourth time.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166555/image/large-d00ecfc89f6101068ccba6e313cf02c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166555">

With a varied and complicated list of works which can usually take at least six months to complete, Atollvic successfully completed the project within a little more than three months utilising the maritime skills and experience of up to 65 shipwrights and sub-contractors, often working on board in simultaneous harmony.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166556/image/large-7c335bb0608f2ba08967071db11095dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166556">

The work included the rebuild of her main engines, sandblasting and complete bottom paint antifouling and hull-partial superstructure with an Awlgrip scheme. Other work included aft-deck crane refurbishment, interior furniture repair and varnishing, crew shower renewal, some teak repairs, full revision of two generators, bilge piping repairs, gas exhaust cleaning and galley exhausts, steel works in the anchor pockets, hawse pipe and SS cut water plate, all external doors for the superstructure repairs and design and supply-installation of the aft thruster clutch was done.

Summarising the range and depth of their achievement, Mr. Marco Villar, Atollvic Shipyard Managing Director, said: “The only possible way we could account for the necessary skills and quality of work required to complete this kind of intensive work schedule, including the painting as the most challenging issue, in such a short amount of time, was by calling upon the significant maritime skills and labour resource that we have access to in this amazing Ría de Vigo area, in the northwest of Spain.”

Seawolf’s Captain, Shaun L. Preacher, added: “As Project Manager as well as Captain, I found the yard personnel to be self-motivated, highly skilled, with a work ethic that is second to none. The skill with which they performed their work is on par with the finest yards in Europe and the finished works on M/Y Seawolf attest to their abilities. I would bring any future project either re-fit or new build to Atollvic Shipyard and would certainly bring Seawolf back.”

16th Azimut Benetti Yachtmaster Italy a success

The story behind the huge success of 72.5 metre displacement yacht, Axioma, is one not only of interest, but of inspiration. The first boat to be launched from Turkish shipyard, Dunya Yachts, Axioma boasts the world’s top brands and designs throughout its entirety. The cost of such a top class superyacht should be expected to reflect that premium quality, but company founder Sedat Ergün built the company’s debut vessel for an unbeatable 30% less than comparable European shipyards.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148160/image/large-d0ca594abe3691df4de2dbd5df86aae5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148160">It took the yard five years of painstaking perfectionism to complete project Red Square, later renamed, Axioma.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148161/image/large-b8a79dfcb91a8a7d9255a034d7cb1f5a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148161"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148162/image/large-475e8aca93f35290cc537faed0a3e8ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148162">The Monaco Yacht Show of September of the same year, Axioma was the talk of the event. Everybody wanted to see the daring debut of the new Turkish shipyard. This unprecedented popularity and success is easily reflected in the rapid sale of the superyacht by YPI, actually during the event in Monaco, and exclusively offering her for charter in the Caribbean.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148163/image/large-c8c264be84da109e0784a1124b9db9a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148163"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148164/image/large-3d8e3c90f8570dbd7a5f9e0435322ca5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148164">So what makes Axioma so in demand, so talked about and so exciting? Firstly, she features a number of revolutionary shifts for the general layout of a vessel of this size, attributed, predominantly to the aforementioned meticulous attention to detail from the yard’s management team and founder, Sedat Ergün. One of the most striking of these features is the main salon’s beautiful double-deck gallery, providing a sense of vast space and light usually reserved for large land-based residences, a concept Ergün envisioned from the onset.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148165/image/large-f5fe80e1f89c4ef7c3858e54836f518c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148165">The gym, spa and steam room have all been brought up from the lower decks, creating an inviting environment flooded with light and spectacular views. In fact, aside from the movie theatre located on the lower deck, all guest areas have been moved up to provide bright and beautiful spaces for guests of the Axioma to truly enjoy everything the boat and, of course, their paradisiacal surroundings, has to offer.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148166/image/large-2eca6a5616cd0c511b063bb46751445f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148166"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148167/image/large-574963007dcb3ec02284c8ed2258b587.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148167"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148168/image/large-dab8e5f459d3557126d79838813a2b5f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148168"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148169/image/large-698887238ed1837ac3f55616b0c6d311.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148169">This includes the luxurious guest suites, which have been brought up to the main deck. The expansive windows showcase those stunning views of the water, adhering to the design’s credo of a light and completely unconfined environment. Axioma provides this atmosphere for up to 12 guests over six suites. Aside from 5 beautiful guest suites finished in varying colour schemes, the real gem is the full beam master suite.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148170/image/large-52dfe0982a51384e0b3c826e066a7662.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148170"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148171/image/large-894b3111fc8c94f131615ad7e849d43d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148171"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148172/image/large-35324974c7b041f8a155447c07df32f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148172">Guests in this suite can expect a fantastic bathroom suite finished in blue marble, direct access to a private terrace, and to be awoken to outstanding panoramic views forward. Space for her crew of 20 are all located on the lower decks.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148173/image/large-2411dd984f30d72482e5d6a10fd4825b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148173"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148174/image/large-bcf1c96a645fab7433617e65756ad7a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148174">When it came to Axioma’s design, the team chose to spotlight bold style as well as practicality. The overall design brief was that of a “beach house style”. She is a yacht to feel at home with, to fully enjoy the comforts of a vacation with all the luxury yet none of the stiffness of a five star hotel. This was achieved perfectly through the collaborative team of designers and engineers who all contributed to the beauty of Axioma. Ergün talks of this collaboration, saying, “We worked with some of the most experienced brains and craftsmen in the business to create a world-class vessel.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148175/image/large-fcb1a48d545d95bcfab73bfdffde04b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148175"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148176/image/large-79cdca53761d09872afc0f1817e68e11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148176"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148177/image/large-05eee4e4133d9f9260d6219340c1947c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148177"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148178/image/large-b41ecad1f176d7e7d5be785234248439.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148178">And a world class vessel they were finally presented with. The who’s who list of expert material and equipment suppliers contracted is seemingly endless, Awlgrip for the paint exterior, sound and vibration from Van Cappellen Consultancy, LIST for the interior joinery and Cramm for the hydraulic moving parts, to name but a few.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148179/image/large-04d31eb38e1865ce3b6e8084244af79d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148179">The vessel’s exterior provides guests with a wide choice of both private and convivial spaces across four decks. Two generous pools, expansive lounging space and dining areas aft are complemented by a secluded lounging and dining area on the bridge deck and that beautiful private terrace forward of the master cabin. Axioma really does offer her guests the luxury of easy privacy and seclusion.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148180/image/large-eedf46505216cb04fa57bf133365d9f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148180"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148181/image/large-37fb07bfa0bcae43673cf035d9dd9bd9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148181"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148182/image/large-6d4dc369ddcabf0efd6ca25192dd46fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148182"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148183/image/large-a63d6dbc983e5ed9f1324417f86a7e52.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148183">The late renowned designer, Albert Pinto, made use of soft neutrals throughout the interior, accented with pops of vibrant colour. A beautiful complement to a range of natural wood tones and textures to add to the gorgeous sophistication of the yacht.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148184/image/large-ea9e620c44fe315c135647ea4bc404f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148184"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148185/image/large-527ec64bf15dcc578b6fe1a590121922.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148185"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148186/image/large-18a51cdfd9af90b1837bbd96122fb421.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148186"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148187/image/large-be6aac857b7e27cfbd8ed4b8cdbede18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148187">Dunya Yachts have certainly not rushed their debut. They have invested time, energy and intelligence into creating a superyacht that excites, intrigues and, most importantly, provides an idyllic, quintessential getaway for her guests. With an 80 metre version of Axioma already in build, Warrior80, the future looks bright for the Turkish shipyard, with Ergün confidently stating that the Axioma is a yacht “that will continue to be a showcase of what the Dunya Yachts brand can achieve. Axioma is the standard-bearer for our pedigree.” With such a significant standard-bearer, Ergün can expect the world to be eagerly anticipating the arrival of Dunya Yachts’ next project.By Gemma Fottles, photos by Jeff Brown of Superyacht Media

The Awlgrip interior design competition kicks off

Awlgrip presented its inaugural Yacht Management Symposium in London on 31st August 2011. The one-day event included a series of open panel sessions and presentations from Awlgrip representatives, covering a range of areas including the development of products, technical service, paint quality and finish standards, as well as regulations. Chris Toole, Awlgrip Senior Global Product Manager comments: “With the increasing significance of Management Companies in technical management of major projects we appreciate the necessity of a collaborative approach to building mutually beneficial relationships. We want to work together with the Management Companies in order to keep projects moving forward, and we believe we can be a valuable partner and resource for delivering quality and compliance. We were pleased with the attendance and response we had and will certainly be looking at something similar in the future, both in Europe and North America.” A key aspect of the symposium was to give participants access to the immediate Awlgrip team present and the wider base of field staff that are supported by these core experts. Delegates included representatives from Burgess, Burness Corlett Three Quays, Camper &amp; Nicholsons, Edmiston Yacht Management, John Winterbotham &amp; Partners, Ocean Independence, Royale Oceanic, Solent International, and Yachting Partners International (YPI). The event was a great success with positive feedback received from all delegates. Peter McCarthy of Camper &amp; Nicholsons remarked: “I enjoyed the day; it was informative and I learnt a good deal. I will, in the future, make more use of Awlgrip’s technical department’s expertise if needed.” Mike Worthington-Leese of John Winterbotham &amp; Partners found the event "Very informative, with useful and lively discussion.” As well as the detailed sessions and forum held during the day, delegates also received a preview of the topics that will be covered in a newly developed Awlgrip training course on paint quality. Delegates were also given the opportunity to suggest areas that they would like to see included. The course is designed to help project managers set specifications for individual yacht projects and will be available from early 2012.Awlgrip Chris Toole +44 (0)191 402 2447 <a href="mailto:chris.toole@akzonobel.com?subject=Awlgrip%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">chris.toole@akzonobel.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.awlgrip.com/">www.awlgrip.com</a>
