Issue 3 of the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/how-to-build-it" target="_blank">How to Build It</a> technical magazine has now been launched and is <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">available for download</a> on SuperYacht Times! You’ll notice that since the launch of the technical magazine a year ago, the third edition is a good deal fatter, a sign of just how well the publication has been received by marine suppliers, contractors and manufacturers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282304/image/large-a460bb1db10da96e83ab63ddecdeed9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282304">We look far and wide to come up with content you won’t find anywhere else and in this issue that includes two exclusive in-build reports. First we visit <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a> for an exclusive look at their very first explorer yacht. It’s hard to miss the bright red hull of the 59-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2023">Akula,</a> whose owner was so closely involved in the design process that he taught himself to use CAD software. We also investigate the engineering and technical challenges associated with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s secretive Project 1011 when her owner asked for a 100-metre-plus yacht with the volume and guest space of a vessel twice the size.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282308/image/large-f7ad27748045e76ab6b766cc5b8f7588.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282308">Have you ever wondered why we are still adding tons of filler compound to our yachts solely for aesthetic purposes? Coating experts <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2988" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wrede Consulting GmbH (Company)">Wrede Consulting</a> in Hamburg believe they have a lighter, faster and more efficient solution – and they’re building a full-size yacht to put their theories to the test. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282311/image/large-228d0b97fd956f6a9bdc65848692bc33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282311">Still in Germany, in addition to doing amazing things with glass on yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3829" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TILSE Yacht Glazing (Company)">Tilse GmbH</a> has been instrumental in defining the approval and classification criteria for onboard glazing. We travelled to the company headquarters near Berlin to learn more first hand.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282310/image/large-0a041a57547c36e62292d490ac9a0235.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282310">The industry-wide focus on sustainability and the first prosecutions for the illegal importation of teak from Myanmar mean yacht builders can no longer turn a blind eye to teak of doubtful origin. We look into the most promising wood-based alternatives and investigate which, if any, come close to simulating the prized properties of old-growth teak.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282313/image/large-f64fde71f0cb831d626a5b27a6dc5541.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282313">Add in-depth reports on the refit of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maltese Falcon88.0m (288'9&quot;)Perini Navi2006">Maltese Falcon</a> in Italy and the conversion of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11561" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Master70.0m (229'8&quot;)Kleven Maritime AS2001">Project Master</a> in the Netherlands, as well as our regular columns and commentaries from industry experts, and I think you’ll agree this issue of How to Build It is the most stimulating and varied yet.
