Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw has recently acquired Jachtwerf Bloemsma Makkum, part of Bloemsma Van Breemen Shipyard. The merger comes after the shipyard’s expanding operations and an increased demand for larger hulls and constructions.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152478/image/large-3022c2331b1fba18fbe8a299528599d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152478">The production halls of Jachtwerf Bloemsma Makkum are conveniently located in close proximity to the facilities of Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw in Makkum in the Netherlands.The new yard is named Bloemsma, and will focus on aluminium hulls and superstructure parts for motor yachts. The impressive facilities and extensive know-how of both companies combined will also reportedly be used for the manufacture of complex aluminium constructions. With the significantly increased capacity of Bloemsma, the shipyard intends to be able to efficiently respond to the growing demand for larger structures and the highest quality in aluminium construction.By Gemma Fottles

In this series of articles, we take a look at the best brokerage deals currently on the market, as judged by our very own editors. What, Why, Where and Who will form the basis of the articles. This week, we have taken a closer look at superyacht Firefly.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149063/image/large-da575a8cd324c5a01ddd586625814297.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149063">What is on offer? Firefly was launched in May 2011 by Claasen Shipyards. The first of a new series of F-Class designs engineered as high performance racers, Firefly made her debut at the superyacht cup in Palma de Mallorca 2011 and immediately stole the spotlight.She has been racing successfully since, and has just won the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta earlier this month.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149064/image/large-22f24aac820e45ad92ede2b375ed817a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149064"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149065/image/large-ede3a702d705285ac57086c64c717b55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149065">With naval architecture by Hoek Design Naval Architects, she was constructed in the Netherlands to the highest quality standards in the industry. Her hull was built by Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw and completed by Claasen Shipyards.F-Class radiates a timeless design with long overhangs and sleek lines. The traditional ambience of the F-Class yacht is further enhanced with a flush deck and moderate deck camber that echoes the 1930’s.Why do we think this is such a great deal? Firefly is an extremely fast superyacht for her size, and the combination of classic lines, modern design, advanced technical systems, high performance spars and rig with unconventional bold materials give her a unique quality and finish that any owner would be proud of.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149066/image/large-064f0624ee75344c7bc5830bc59094a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149066"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149067/image/large-b83cf8a9234373e031815e7a6f210079.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149067">She is rigged with a carbon mast and boom along with a carbon rudder, which were selected to minimise weight while maximising racing performance. Specifically designed for long distance racing, the water ballast system efficiently shifts 5 tons of water from one side to the other within two minutes, optimising time and performance. Team and management is available for the rest of the reason, and she is available to charter.Where is she right now? Firefly is currently located in Mallorca.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149068/image/large-43ce439e35af1958e256bf8942ac4289.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149068">Who to call?

Brokerage deal of the Week: The 35 ​metre​​ F-Class Firefly

In November 2012 a repeat client commissioned Claasen Shipyards to build a new Truly Classic 126ft. Claasen Shipyards has built many such yachts, all of which are designed by Hoek Naval Architects and are characterised by their combination of classic lines and advanced technologies.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iuO1EC_PMKA" width="560"></iframe>The summer of 2013 marked the start of the construction of the new Truly Classic hull at Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw in Makkum and it is now nearing completion. The new yacht will be the largest in the Truly Classic range. She is being built in accordance with MCA LY2 regulations, allowing the yacht to feature in competitive sailing races as well as being used privately or for charter.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147102/image/large-5a86273c1c164a22580d15ba3c8b1964.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147102">The deck layout is based on the successful concept of a private owner’s cockpit aft and a guest cockpit and deckhouse amidships. The construction of the interior – also from the boards of Hoek Design -­‐ is also in full swing. The yacht will have a classic interior with various unique details in the woodwork. The walls and floors are made of Sweatania mahogany, while the floor borders are accentuated with maple inlays. The cabin ceilings will be finished in white to increase the sense of spaciousness. The combination of fine materials and finish will create a serene ambiance for owner and crew alike.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147103/image/large-a720a4e0e07812722370f968799caeab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147103">The hull of the yacht was turned by Bloemsma Aluminumbouw in Makkum several weeks ago and will soon be transported to the yard in Zaandam where the yacht will be finished for delivery in 2015.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147104/image/large-ed4b3208eee4c415f4983768f8736949.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147104">In addition to this new Truly Classic 126 the yard has two Truly Classic 90ft yachts under construction and will soon start the build of a new J-­class.

Construction of new Truly Classic 126 well underway

De Valk has become the official brokerage house representing the innovative co-ownership project known as Long Tall Sally. Bringing together some of the top names in superyacht design and building, construction of the first of these 33-metre explorer sailing ketches will start later this year. In addition to offering a unique opportunity for fractional ownership, the yacht will sail a pre-set route to a wide range of adventurous destinations.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130983/image/large-19269af974c29ac970a4d5513ac4ddc0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130983">The Long Tall Sally project involves some very prestigious names and offers a different approach to any other partial ownership programme. Designed by Gerard Dykstra and based on the well known Bestevaer series of performance cruisers, the hull of the first yacht (Long Tall Sally) will be built by Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw. This leading Dutch hull builder has achieved international fame for its work on the new generation of J Class yachts, as has the yard that will finish Long Tall Sally, Claasen Jachtbouw. In addition to this premium Dutch construction, London-based designers Rhoades Young are responsible for the general interior design. “The formidable team of companies behind this project is one of the reasons we are so sure of its success,” says Derk Jan Rolff from De Valk International. “This will be a sturdy, no-nonsense yacht designed for long voyages. The fully outfitted accommodation will ensure a comfortable stay onboard, while the fractional ownership programme with full yacht management substantially reduces the purchase price and running costs. Potential co-owners can buy a part share in Long Tall Sally or one of the later vessels, or of course buy all the shares and have complete ownership.” Another reason why the Long Tall Sally project is causing such a stir is that the aluminium ketches will explore places well off the beaten track, including the Kamchatka Peninsula, Antarctica, Greenland, the Northwest Passage, Easter Island, Spitsbergen and the Galápagos Islands. A modern underwater body and easy to handle sail plan ensure safe and speedy passage making while a retractable keel allows trips up river and into shallow bays. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/130984/image/large-0861e0e0b516941b2f9ce6c1abf1a029.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130984">“This pre-set year round itinerary will allow the co-owners to hop on and off where and when it suits them best,” adds Derk Jan Rolff. “The interior will offer all modern creature comforts to ensure people feel safe and snug. Based on the premise that owners and passengers will spend one month or more on board, a new concept has been introduced in the aft section, accommodating owners and passengers in four ensuite cabins. These can be joined to form two identical VIP suites, allowing onboard privacy for families.” Fractions are available at € 150,000 or multiples thereof. One fraction is equivalent to one month onboard per year for two people in one double cabin. Annual costs per fraction are budgeted at € 28,000, including victuals, bunkers and regular running costs.

A replica of the J-Class Rainbow, the famous American yacht which won the 1934 America’s Cup, has started building at Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw at Makkum in Holland. It is no surprise that Bloemsma should be selected to produce the hull as the yard has previously built hulls for the J yachts Lionheart and Atlantis. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129348/image/large-5dc937d74ab626ee4ba8fa0d6be94f6b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129267">The replica re-build of this original design by William Starling Burgess will be under the supervision of Dykstra &amp; Partners, who have more than 20 years’ experience with J Class and have been responsible for the re-builds and refits of: <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1276">Shamrock V</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/621">Endeavour</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/251">Velsheda</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/432">Ranger</a> and the new <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/384">Hanuman</a> (Endeavour II Project). The new <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1016">Rainbow</a> will be constructed in aluminium, combining lightweight construction with high overall stiffness to improve sailing performance.

She was built to defend the America’s Cup against EndeavourThe first 2 races were tough for Rainbow, yet she beat Endeavour in the last four races to win. In 1937 she was sold and then challenged for the Cup defence. Sadly for her, Ranger won and Rainbow was sold for scrap in 1940.

J-Class update on Rainbow

The J-Class Rainbow, designed by Dykstra &amp; Partners for a repeat client, has started building at Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw. When the hull will be ready, Rainbow will be transported to be finished at Holland Jachtbouw (HJB). The re-build of this originally William Starling Burgess Designed yacht will be under supervision of Dykstra &amp; Partners Naval Architects. Rainbow will be built and fitted out to race with the existing and new J’s according to the JCA (J Class Association) rules. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129267/image/large-63ac024306f3a823227bfc1a1875cb76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129267">To keep the J-Class fleet and races alive and to encourage new build yachts to enter the field, new JCA maximum performance rules have been developed, including allowing aluminum as building material. The new rule is a VPP (Velocity Prediction Program) based rating system which puts limits to the performance. This new rule has been developed by the Dykstra &amp; Partners office and the Wolfson Unit in Southampton. The aim of the JCA, the Dykstra team and the rule is to bring fair &amp; close racing to the fleet and to give all designs a chance of winning (on a handicap based system). Over the years the Dykstra team gained an enormous amount of hands-on information by racing on all the J’s in the current fleet. Dykstra &amp; Partners have gained over 20 years of J-Class experience and where responsible for the rebuilds of the J-Class yachts: <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1276">Shamrock V</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/251">Velsheda</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/621">Endeavour</a>, refit of <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/432">Ranger</a> and the new build <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/384">Hanuman</a> (Endeavour II project). <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1016">Rainbow</a> will be the 2nd new J-Class in order for the Dykstra team.
