The challenge was that it had to support the additional weight of all the toys carried on the open decks. These include a Williams 625 jet tender, an Icon A5 light-sport aircraft designed to land on water, a helicopter landing pad on the sundeck, PWCs on the foredeck, a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV), and a 3,800-kg, 3-person <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1535" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="U-Boat Worx B.V.

In the words of The Beatles, Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight.“If you look at all the gear on deck, it's really more comparable to a much larger yacht,” affirms Chris Jones, son of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> co-founder Jack Jones. “So that's been one of the challenges throughout the design and construction process: how do we house all these really fun toys that the owner wants on a boat under 500 gross tons?”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382208/image/large-f4c178155f2a7d56d2aa160116ba01d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382208">Weight WatchersIn addition to opitimising volume to achieve 499 GT, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> also implemented a rigorous weight-reduction strategy to preserve vessel stability. Material selection played a key role in ensuring sufficient strength while reducing weight to keep the centre of gravity (VCG) as low as possible.To this end, the hull is made of E-glass, but carbon fibre has been used extensively for the superstructure (<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> subcontracts its superstructure tooling out to Janicki, a local supplier that includes Seattle-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5137" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Boeing Company (Company)">Boeing</a> on its client list and operates some of the largest 5-axis milling machines in the world). <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/369615/image/large-a63b45f6138e2f5b3330e2da47011714.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/369615">Heating the foam cores and ‘thermoforming’ them into shape eliminated the need for kerf cuts that would otherwise be needed to conform to the mould. These cuts act as pathways for the resin required for bonding during infusion, but excess resin adds significant weight to components. Reducing the amount of resin absorbed by the core material directly translates to a lighter product. The foam-cored interior bulkheads feature large openings to shave off a few more kilos, more like a lightweight, go-fast yacht than a full displacement vessel.Glazing was another weight-critical area. For the first time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12551" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zembra 45.3m (148'7&quot;)Delta Marine2026">Delta</a> is working with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3829" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TILSE Glass (Company)">Tilse</a> for the glass as the German company was able to supply <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7911" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's (Company)">Lloyd’s</a>-approved glass at the lowest weight (it will also have a slight bronze tint to match the paintwork). <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382207/image/large-8ce838ba35bb6eb4f6d8cbd3583da068.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382207">“Every opportunity we can think of to save weight, we explore it,” says Randy Neureuter, chief naval architect. “From a structural perspective, these efforts mean the yacht will be about 15 percent lighter than other vessels we’ve built using the same mould, but just as strong. Considering the additional weight from the added equipment, being lighter up top was crucial for maintaining stability as well as the vessel's overall performance.”Composites offer other advantages, including better inherent resistance to heat transfer than aluminium as well as very low coefficients of thermal expansion for superior dimensional stability across large temperature variations – a plus for a globe-trotting vessel with a dark bronze paint scheme. Nevertheless, heat studies were made to make sure the Dometic HVAC system was up to task and the yacht will also have awnings spanning up to 60 percent of her upper decks for extra cooling shade.&nbsp;“There are lots of published reports as to how hot surface temperatures get between different colours and how that affects the interior temperature,” says marine engineer Dan Filonowich. “The effect can be quite drastic, but is something we can measurably accommodate and factor into the AC calculations, but it does drive the chiller load up slightly. “<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382203/image/large-1081e5dc58d47d91d4b996d8835966b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382203">Charter on my Mind<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12551" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zembra 45.3m (148'7&quot;)Delta Marine2026">Project Zembra</a> is for experienced, hands-on owners who have previously owned Inace and Nordhavn yachts.

This focus on charter operations, is something of a departure for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a>, which has traditionally built yachts for private use that sometimes remain under the same ownership for decades. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382205/image/large-d7fa8cdb8e11c11a2be9cf4aa6064d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382205">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> is excited to have two of its current in-build projects planning to enter the charter market,” says Michelle Jones, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> Vice-President and daughter of the late Ivor Jones. “This not only allows us to share the story of their builds more openly, something we have not been able to do in over a decade, it also &nbsp;gives potential clients the opportunity to experience the quality of a new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> yacht firsthand.”While dual certification provides significant long-term flexibility for the owners, it introduced an additional layer of complexity, not least because the yacht has to comply with two sets of emissions standards: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4531" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="International Maritime Organization (Company)">IMO</a> Tier III and EPA Tier 4.These standards target different pollutants and use different technologies to reduce emissions, adding cost and a larger engine room footprint (making room for all this equipment is one reason why the project was stretched from 45 to 48 metres in length). The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> main engines were chosen specifically because they are dual-rated, and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6231" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kohler Engines (Company)">Kohler</a> generators are deliberately sized under 130 kilowatts to keep within Tier III regulatory limits and avoid further after-treatment systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382204/image/large-f45d67db11aa5327390d08c5edb10963.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382204">Moreover, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12551" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zembra 45.3m (148'7&quot;)Delta Marine2026">Project Zembra</a> had to remain under 300 US regulatory tons, the point when additional rules kick in, particularly regarding notice of arrival (NOA), while also addressing international gross tonnage rules to allow worldwide operation. This required early structural planning and careful envelope control across all decks.&nbsp;“We’re very well versed in how to do all of these things,” adds Filonowich. “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> has a history of working with class societies for over 30 years now, so all of these regulatory hoops we have to jump through have become kind of second nature.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382201/image/large-64c0bf8806623090fb6ddba8b7589c7d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382201">Custom CraneOne of the more complex of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12551" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zembra 45.3m (148'7&quot;)Delta Marine2026">Project Zembra</a>’s features is her 4,500 kilogram-capacity gantry crane for launching and retrieving the Superyacht Sub 3 from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1535" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="U-Boat Worx B.V.
