Onboard the 24m Holterman X-treme 78 Sport yacht Miramar

SYT takes a look onboard the first 24m Holterman X-treme 78 Sport yacht Miramar, the smaller sistership of Lady Fleur.

Miramar: A first look onboard the first 24m Holterman X-treme 78 Sport yacht

Changes in yachting are notoriously glacial – until last year. When <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman Shipyard</a> delivered its 32.65-metre superyacht X-treme 105, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a>, it was quite literally the ‘talk of the town’, and when she debuted at <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2022">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> the quay was awash with amazement. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255560/image/large-94c48888fcef698d75ab0d933383b59d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255560"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a> is radically practical and it’s easy to pass her off as a traditional monohull with a large aft deck for tender storage; but behind her taut muscular design is an unusual and complex piece of engineering: a novel aft deck that can be hydraulically lowered below the waterline to safely launch and retrieve a large tender. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255483/image/large-afea7a6a5101cf22d6d8ec50c7f91540.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255483">The seed of inspiration was sown by her owners, who wanted a multipurpose aft deck: tender storage, a deep but safe swimming pool for their grandchildren, and somewhere to host intimate dinner parties. This all had to be squeezed into a 32.65-metre platform. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4789" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bernd Weel Design (Company)">Bernd Weel Design</a> was the studio behind stylish, muscular and very attractive exterior design. But the big question, though: will it work? And who better to put the challenge to than <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V. (Company)">Diana Yacht Design</a>?&nbsp;“We’re not afraid of a challenge,” Casper Marelis, Naval Architect &amp; Designer at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V. (Company)">Diana Yacht Design</a>, told SuperYacht Times. “But this really was a major one, and we’ve definitely learnt a lot from this project.” The biggest learning curve, not only for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V. (Company)">DIANA</a> but for the industry, was engineering a system that could deploy and retrieve a large tender, without the use of a crane. It was a major undertaking – and one that has never been done before. It also came with an added benefit: ease of boarding for both crew and guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255481/image/large-96bbf6726a378615aad31a2d2b201ba5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255481"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a> features a traditional motor yacht hull, but from amidships, her long aft is divided between two hulls, with the central divide making space for the tender lift that includes a lengthy pool. The platform can be lowered, in between the two hulls collecting seawater and then raised again, to create a pool. The maximum depth of the pool is 6-foot but it can be completely customised for when the younger members of the family are enjoying a swim. When underway the pool floor is hydraulically lifted, turning the aft deck into a wide, flat multi-functional space.“Compared to a ‘normal’ catamaran hull the deck above/between the two hulls on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a> which normally absorbs the forces created by waves is missing,” Marelis explained. “So this means theoretically the PS hull can move up and the SB hull can move down. These forces all transfer to the connection point to the monohull instead of the deck above. An extensive ‘Finite Elements Method’ short FEM calculation made it possible to analyse these forces and the resulting tensions in the structure and made it possible to strengthen the problem areas very precisely. To give you an example, there are parts which had to be 40mm thick high tensile steel while without the fold down platform the thickness could be 5mm normal steel.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255480/image/large-5b3817c529eabb79a5ea8c0d139db18c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255480"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V. (Company)">Diana Yacht Design</a> conducted rigorous FEM analysis of the total hull construction very early on in the process, and in direct conversation with classification society and flag state. Even though this was novel, the studio was determined to actualise the owner’s wishes. Coincidently, after devising a method for the system to raise and lower, the pool was relatively easy to engineer.&nbsp;“The forces on the system depend on how much of a closed volume (air) must be pushed underwater. So we made the structure of the platform hollow above the waterline to minimise this volume. This left a big ‘empty space’ which could also house a pool. This can fill up while the system lowers. And although almost 14 tonnes of water has to be lifted afterwards, the closed volume of the platform will push this extra weight upwards.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255559/image/large-4eb454ec2d910f2e0bfe6612c0786252.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255559">Naturally though, such a radical design was to cause waves throughout the vessel and more challenges arose, especially after a last-minute request to add a garage at midships: where to place the engine room?“With the last minute change it meant that all the equipment moved aft, but also the structural parts like the engine seating. This meant a lot of extra weight in the aft ship for which the hull form had to be adapted. More weight in the multihull arms also meant more forces and vibrations which had to be accounted for,” Marelis said. “Due to the addition of a tender garage the multihull arms turned into the engine rooms. This meant splitting the engine rooms, so doubling up on multiple systems while the space got smaller. But this also meant moving the propshafts outboard which has a negative effect on flow towards the propeller. To have a proper water flow towards the propellers steering nozzles were added.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255484/image/large-a138625aca462766f27a269e9675b4d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255484">The FEM calculation was an integral part of the aft section of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a>, but for the forward section was treated as normal. This helps reduce lead time as it “made it possible to start building the forward section already while a lot more engineering time was created to be spent on the difficult aft ship section.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255482/image/large-7a7c182b4234e98892340a113c0b5306.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255482">But the aft deck is just one part of the story. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a> also has a large enclosed tender garage, accommodation for 10 guests, and a dedicated crew apartment – all within a 200 GT package.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9148" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady Fleur32.65m (107'1&quot;)Holterman Shipyard2022">Lady Fleur</a> truly defies the impossible, and when pressed if <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V.

A yacht that could cruise with ease even in the toughest of weather conditions: an SUV on water.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251360/image/large-0d88e624ff3e625dda12526e96fab122.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251360">The Dutch Built 50 can reach speeds of up to 36 knots in speed and has been created in collaboration with the Dutch yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4789" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bernd Weel Design (Company)">Bernd Weel</a> and Sea Level naval architects. “I am very excited about this project, as the engineering goes way beyond the current superyacht standards,” states Jeroen van der Knaap, designer at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4360" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sea Level – Amsterdam (Company)">Sea Level</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251363/image/large-679cc76ebd2d31b40b836abc40979999.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251363">In order to make the yacht as strong and robust as possible a special grid has been designed, and the hull is constructed out of extra dense, high-end composite materials, with its structure created using lightweight carbon. As a result, the center of gravity is low, which contributes to the stability and unique sailing abilities of the vessel. The incredibly high-quality build has resulted in the yacht being awarded a CE class A rating, meaning it can handle winds of over Beaufort Force 8 and waves above 4 meters. A remarkable achievement for the concept.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251364/image/large-c5f0a2f2dc43c7b2d505782bd29ddbb7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251364">There are large windows in the hull, giving the guests the feeling of connectivity with the water. The team has been working for over a year to fully engineer the Dutch Built 50, with Lengers noting that the "hardtop alone took over a year of research and engineering." The unique hardtop is built from carbon, with an automated sunroof.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251358/image/large-179753a7e03d6972d021a168d2887ce2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251358">Every possible need has been considered, with most flawlessly incorporated into the design and specially fitted for the concept. One sees this evidently reflected in the indestructible stainless steel wet bar and the ergonomic pilot seats with shock absorption, ensuring you can sail in the roughest waves with utmost comfort and ease.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251357/image/large-e004393bd92bf4352efcef60053e6b36.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251357"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6951" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stratos Yacht (Company)">Stratos</a> offers customisation of the exterior with a range of 25 different colours, with both metallic and non-metallic options. The exterior cushions and teak can also be customised and owners can also personalise the interiors with three different colour schemes. There is also a superyacht option available with the option of a hydraulic submersible swim platforn. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251362/image/large-9b405000a3bbce8af81212c15500657b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251362"> “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6951" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stratos Yacht (Company)">Stratos</a> is for those who want the best of the best”, says Lengers. “In terms of service, we also want to achieve this. In doing so, we will go beyond standards and offer extraordinary services that will provide customers a worry-free experience. So that they can focus on what truly counts: enjoying the trhill of cruising on the open waters.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251361/image/large-bf28581bbd0c9c74ad826d95df001655.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251361">Lengers added; “Truly everything has been thought of, with all elements flawlessly realised — no compromises are made. Stratos does not do mass production, which will result in building a limited number of yachts each year to ensure we adhere to our strict quality standards. We will not work under time pressure: all yachts will be built to perfection, making them the finest yachts in their class, with every detail having been carefully considered.” &nbsp;She has a nautical range of 400 to 450 miles.
