SYT Synopsis: December's roundup

SYT looks back at the last month, drawing stats and figures powered by the inhouse SYT iQ. 

SYT Synopsis: An overview of December

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Too Design</a>, headed up by industry veteran designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali</a>, has been working closely with a number of shipyards looking to change the face of the yacht industry. Shipyards such as Greenline and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">Silent Yachts</a> have been looking toward the creation of sustainable alternatives to traditional yacht design, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a>’s team has been right there on the forefront. The most recent concept to come out of the studio is the 56.7-metre VisionE, <a href="https://3d.superyachttimes.com/world?ship=M02811961" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">unveiled today within SYT 3D</a>, SuperYacht Times’ virtual yachting world.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213533/image/large-6e0f2aab1b7631b76e574f834d3de8ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213533">VisionE has been born out of the need to change the way that owners and designers approach yachting. Looking for a fresh approach to the traditional construction and propulsion methods, VisionE is quite unlike any other yacht in the fleet, with a low, sleek profile, the 56.7-metre superyacht features a curved roof, covered with solar panels that feed the electricity and power to the vessel. While she has the option of fully electric propulsion, the yacht has been conceived as a hybrid diesel-electric and will be able to reach impressive top speeds of 14 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213534/image/large-bb03258640fe2e77126a5ff04f8a7fd7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213534">In order to increase the efficiency of the vessel, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a> and his team studied the hulls of performance sailing yachts, the hulls of which have been honed over the centuries to reduce drag and improve movement through the water. As such, the yacht has a draft of only 2.6-metres, which, as an added benefit, will make her a perfect vessel for cruising in shallow grounds such as the Bahamas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213536/image/large-252cc403ec30ce4b5227ae5979db96a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213536" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Without a doubt one of the most standout elements of the yacht is her flybridge, which is revealed by sliding and hydraulically lifting some of her solar panels. This space, which appears almost from nowhere, offers her guests beautiful sea views alongside all of the usual amenities, including a large Jacuzzi, bar and dining table.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213537/image/large-92aeb43a0c15d513bcb032d03060fcdc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213537">In addition to the hydraulic solar panel elements of the flybridge, there are a number of other unique and impressive hydraulic systems which open the vessel up to the surrounding ocean. Each of the five-six staterooms feature balconies that fold down from the vessel's superstructure, offering her 12-14 guests private and intimate access to the water. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali</a> commented, “There is nothing more wonderful than waking up and having uninhibited access to the water. There are virtually no yachts of this size that can offer this to all of the guests, where usually the owner’s suite is unique in its unparalleled ocean views, that is something we wanted to change, by offering such privilege to every guest onboard.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213535/image/large-5ff7d54fdbbd8002d4a8160cdf648396.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213535">Finally, the bulwarks to aft can be flattened to open the entire space into an expansive beach club that flows through into the spa and fitness centre. Central to the design of the aft deck is a large saltwater swimming pool that also acts as a floodable garage for launching the tender. “When we were considering this large pool to aft, we thought about how wasteful it is to have a fresh water pool onboard a yacht, that has to continuously be filled and emptied. There is also the issue with access to fresh water which may not always be possible. The creation of a seawater pool however, gives owners and crew a lot more freedom and control, while also using the free water of the ocean. In addition, this pool is a garage that can be flooded and creates a very safe access point to the water.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213529/image/large-e2eca649bb0611fe2cb4033b79e5e4f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213529"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213530/image/large-ad812d48490a95e9352467fa82531761.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213530"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213531/image/large-331f793ad81306a14b891a5f7bbb5315.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213531"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213532/image/large-a77a02c7724a4e5f60cf650db49c7790.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213532"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213526/image/large-3b2c05458a35c9e3f880020383543580.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213526">While <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a> noted that a future owner may wish to bring another designer onboard to create the interiors, he and his team have already created a unique layout that truly makes the most of the 499 GT volumes. With a 10.5-metre beam there is plenty of room to play with, allowing them to create a fully open plan space that will encourage social interaction and entertainment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213527/image/large-a242468b8406e06a32ad11d6b049965a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213527"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213528/image/large-9163e9158cb67810063a2a360a8842b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213528"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213525/image/large-5b14edb2796cbaa6d32bd36dc3fa0315.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213525">In terms of her engineering and propulsion, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Too Design</a> is working closely with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Name Studio (Company)">Francesco Rogantin of Names Studio</a>, who has assisted with the creation of a vessel which will work with both hybrid electric and even fully-electric propulsion in the future. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a> added, “Francesco has a huge amount of experience in the field and has recently been working on other innovations, including with the use of hydrogen fuel-cell technology, which could perhaps be an option for VisionE.” VisionE has been unveiled today in <a href="https://3d.superyachttimes.com/world?ship=M02811961" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT 3D and you can view this exceptional new concept in full 3D here</a>.

Marco Casali's superyacht VisionE unveiled in SYT 3D

Marco Casali and Too Design have unveiled VisionE, a revolutionary design, in SYT 3D.

Marco Casali – Too Design unveils VisionE in SYT 3D

As we continue to grapple with the challenges of climate change, the yachting industry is addressing its environmental impact. The movement towards sustainability, a force no longer possible to ignore, is largely responsible for this introspection. Harnessing the use of green propulsion systems such as solar power, hybrid energy and as of late, hydrogen fuel cells, have been the most obvious manifestations of the industry’s attempts to combat its carbon footprint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209997/image/large-f3badf1326c567e291c6842a4d56418c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209997">However, judging the sustainability of a superyacht based solely on its propulsion system is insufficient. Superyacht interiors often fall short of environmental considerations, as precious materials are harvested and utilised on board. However, materials aren’t the only aspect of sustainability that a designer must consider when conceiving the interior of a superyacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210001/image/large-94068a9e18ed336300679a6c12cbe975.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210001">For Marco Casali of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Too Design</a>, one central consideration is the weight of materials. Though aesthetically light and delicate, precious materials such as marble are heavy and harder to transport. The Italian designer explains, “Reduced weight is one of the best ways to improve a yacht’s ecological quality. Whatever is on board needs to be transported, and requires energy not only for cruising, but also for bringing the material from the producer to the factory”. One of the ways this issue has been overcome is by simply using less of the material: “If you typically use a three centimetre slab of stone, you can instead use a five millimetre, which is a 70 percent reduction in material used. This not only reduces the yacht’s weight and the material’s footprint, but also drastically reduces the amount we take from the earth.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209996/image/large-2eba7f8653326211fb0d3e8a5aba6c0c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209996">Upcycled and sustainable materials have also improved in tandem with the development of sustainability movements. Ewa Eidsgaard of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidsgaard</a> has pointed to the range of recycled materials. “For example, many of the new synthetic materials we are specifying now are upcycled. Manufacturers offer rugs made out of PET bottles gathered on beaches in South East Asia and spun into soft and beautiful yarn.” However, what appears to be an ‘eco-alternative’ may not turn out as such. Materials like vegan leather are often made from plastic, which has its own environmental drawbacks. This has prompted some, such as Casali, to push back on how we define ‘sustainable materials’. “Some so-called ‘eco-materials’, made from the tissues of bananas or apples, require the use of harmful adhesives such as resin, paints and other chemicals to achieve the same aesthetic as materials considered less eco-friendly. Is this really less impactful than natural leather?”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209995/image/large-ec88cd68da9aa84e54fad7a614b2caae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209995">Self-reflection has triggered a push towards replenishing the natural resources used on superyachts. As Francesco Muzio of Italian design studio, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>, says, “If you use a tree to make furniture, you need to replant another tree.” The designer continues, “We also focus on our suppliers; we want to continue building a network of independent, artisanal companies that share our vision.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209999/image/large-1703f00faff8f1129ea70786a377a1cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209999">However, sourcing sustainable materials is not always an option for interior designers who are inherently positioned to fulfil the particular demands of clients. Casali explains, “We are producing luxury toys and need to deliver on a certain threshold of comfort as well as aesthetic.” This presents a challenge. After all, clients are the driving force behind these initiatives.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210000/image/large-22b608375a323ef7bead889c446dfc35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210000">Joost van Hattum of the Dutch interior outfitting company, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/139" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Struik & Hamerslag (Company)">Struik and Hamerslag</a>, explains how interior outfitters often have little influence, “Interior outfitting companies get involved when the design is at least partly complete. At the moment we are involved in the project, we investigate sustainable solutions within the existing design.” Therefore, owners are the ones typically taking initiative on sustainably-driven projects.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186768/image/large-400a1dc82a7572cedd80d04283065996.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186768">Unfortunately, financial and time concerns are too big a burden to be undertaken on speculation alone. “It is thanks to owners that we can undertake more sustainable projects. Without them, it would probably be impossible because most sustainable solutions are often more expensive,” notes Casali. One way, according to Hattum, is to establish a distinct design philosophy, communicated clearly. “The superyacht industry, in general, must communicate ideas of sustainability early in the design process. We have to inform and convince our well-respected clients, and assist them in choosing environmentally friendly materials.”This article was originally published in Issue 38 of the <a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.

SuperYacht Times 3D: The game-changing virtual yacht world launched by SuperYacht Times

SuperYacht Times launches its game-changing virtual yacht world, built for those who admire the world of superyachts.

With the build taking place in Arcona, Italy, the 499 GT vessel, complete with a yacht air purification system, is on track for her 2022 delivery date. The styling, both interior and exterior is being handled by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali</a> of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Too Design</a> who has devised “sporty lines” for the project while the engineering for the aluminium hull and superstructure is the combined work of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palumbo Superyachts (Company)">Palumbo Superyachts</a> team and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec S.r.l.

The device is effective on gram + and - bacteria, moulds and yeasts, viruses, bacterial endotoxins, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and odours. NTP is what prevents the formation of bacterial colonies on the internal surfaces of newly built pipes and the spread of contamination through the air flow in transit.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/189615/image/large-d102e9fe4faddbdf6373bed7eaeeaa5a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/189615">To carry out local sanitisation on each deck of the yacht, the designers have also created a vaporization system for water mixed with sanitizing liquid inside the air ducts. The equipment operating the sanitizing mixture will be combined with a timer for the vaporized disinfection of the ventilation system to take place according to predefined settings.“This is an innovative, dynamic, cutting-edge project that fully reflects the essential principles of the Columbus brand”, says Giuseppe Palumbo, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palumbo Superyachts (Company)">Palumbo Superyachts.</a> “A process driven by the collaboration with a customer highly sensitive to environment and elegance that will make this project a new reference point on the market.”
