Greenline Yacht Interiors

Greenline Yacht Interiors has announced that the interiors on board the 141 metre superyacht Yas have been completed after the company took over the scope of work previously commenced by other subcontractors in 2013.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152847/image/large-81bb8a158ee593109183b8c86e5ba445.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137375">Built by the Abu Dhabi Mar Shipyard, Yas is one of the top ten largest yachts in the world. Her exterior and interior design was designed by the Pierrejean Design Studio in France, who has created an ultra modern look and feel. She has a graceful exterior of fluid curves and volumes, and a particularly notable structural covering of glass.Greenline’s CEO and Chairman Samir Badro, comments, “2014 has been a very productive year for us. We are currently working on several projects and are glad and proud that the Yas Project has been now successfully completed.”On board, Yas accommodates up to 60 guests in total, as well as a crew of 56. She is powered by two MTU 10,500hp diesel engines, giving her a maximum speed of 26 knots, a cruising speed of 23 knots, and a range of 5,000 nm.By Gemma Fottles, photo by Dick Holthuis

Interiors on board the 141m superyacht Yas complete

The Dutch shipyard, Royal Huisman, renewed their focus on refit, repair and renewal in 2011. Boasting excellent service in their facilities in Vollenhove and deep-water locations in Harlingen, the division has welcomed year on year growth.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150370/image/large-556a94e6eb942aef1b1dc7a9483f09a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150370">Due for delivery in summer 2015, the shipyard are currently working on the 42 metre superyacht Samurai. The client clearly stated several requirements of the refit, including the necessity of looking aesthetically pleasing as well as being extremely fast and technologically advanced. William Bishop of Yachting Partners International assisted the client with the selection of the interior designer, the creation of the exterior concept design and the choice of the refit shipyard. Yacht consultant Jens Cornelsen &amp; Partner has undertaken the project management.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150371/image/large-72a2c775af24cc73984021f725cc1874.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150371">The conversion began with modifications to the carbon composite structure. Some carbon composite bulkheads have been re-installed to make way for an interior where once there was none. The new Japanese-inspired luxury furniture designed by Rhoades Young Design and built by Greenline Yacht Interiors is both comfortable and lightweight.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150372/image/large-fe448b241f5bfb8879901c3d04a78017.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150372">The exterior has also been revisited by Rhoades Young Design and will receive a new deckhouse and cockpits, a completely new colour scheme and decks covered with easy-to-maintain, ‘teak’ surfacing. A swim platform will be added to the transom, which will be deployed manually using a halyard, as a hydraulic system would have added unwanted weight.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150373/image/large-0ffb57697c226707bd4386dffc0aa5c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150373">Onboard systems that the original race boat lacked will be installed and high-speed hydraulic winches will substitute the manual winches. Her canting keel will be replaced with a lifting keel more suitable for cruising and access to shallow anchorages, in addition to a lightweight anchor system with a removable davit.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150374/image/large-c7cb7213cc415a43061cad16386db34a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150374">Royal Huisman’s design manager, Jan Knol, comments, “The aim has been to convert a pure racer into a fast cruiser and still keep the weight below a certain threshold, which has been very challenging for the team. This has meant closely investigating the weight of both the interior and exterior components being added. Honeycomb substrates, for example, are used for the interior furniture, and titanium for items of deck gear instead of stainless steel.”The Samurai project is on schedule for a summer 2015 delivery.By Gemma Fottles, photo by Hans Westerink

Update on the refit of Samurai at Royal Huisman

Based on the existing contract with Royal Falcon fleet to complete the interiors of the first two units of the series of superyacht catamarans, Greenline Yacht Interiors has recently finalised the agreement to complete a further eight RFF135, which is merely the dawn of a visionary superyacht fleet programme. The first two 41m catamarans, which have been stunningly designed by Porsche Design, are currently under construction in Sweden and in conjunction with Kockums AB at their facilities in Muskö. Both vessels are expected to be delivered within 2012. Following a similar Agreement for the additional eight superyachts, Greenline will be providing the full turn-key Interiors for the yacht including owner’s, VIP and guests areas as well as service and crew areas.
