The former yacht owner and Formula 1 team boss Eddie Jordan has died at age 76. A statement made by Jordan’s family on Thursday morning revealed that he had passed away in his Cape Town home following a cancer diagnosis in December 2024. The Irishman was the owner of several yachts, including the 45.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/51" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Perini Navi (Company)">Perini Navi</a> sailing yacht Blush (now named <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/43" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mare Nostrum45.26m (148'6&quot;)Perini Navi2007">Mare Nostrum</a>) during his lifetime.&nbsp;As a former driver himself, the businessman won the Irish kart championship in 1971 but suffered an accident in Formula 3 in 1976, before transitioning to team ownership in the year 1979. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353276/image/large-df8254dd787bb5de9005e52062fe4b28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353276">While his Eddie Jordan Racing team started with 12 people in 1987, it eventually amounted to 50 members once Jordan took part in F1 in 1991. Jordan enlisted engineer Gary Anderson to design their first F1 car, the 191, which still remains to this day.The CEO of F1 Stefano Domenicali commented: “We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan. With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times. Eddie has been a protagonist of an era of F1 and he will be deeply missed. In this moment of sorrow, my thoughts and those of the entire Formula One family are with his family and loved ones.”F1’s governing body, the FIA, echoed a similar sentiment, stating: “Eddie Jordan was a legend of Formula One. He made an invaluable contribution to global motor sport throughout his life. All of us at the FIA would like to send our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this very difficult time. Eddie will always be remembered as a great sportsman and passionate ambassador for Formula One on and off the track.”

"<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> gave us the creative freedom to propose an original interior concept for this popular series yacht, which felt like an ideal opportunity to celebrate the strength and vision of our shared Dutch heritage,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> co-creative director, Marnix Hoekstra. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353254/image/large-b4d5ec8e5a62ef4dd1abbd818e4c8724.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353254">“At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, we believe that interior design is more than just aesthetics - it’s a deeply personal experience. With a meticulous approach and a passion for creativity, we’ve infused the interior of YN206 with a unique vision and a touch of Dutch pride. Each step of the process is a journey, transforming inspiration into a beautiful reality crafted just for you,” added Hoekstra.At a volume of 345 GT, the vessel is able to sleep as many as 12 guests across a five stateroom configuration, while further accommodation is available to support a crew of up to seven members. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353260/image/large-205dd59a67fb76fefae11db161fcd131.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353260"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353261/image/large-70f696c82bab2559250b72c8e693d992.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353261">Among the yacht’s most standout amenities is her full-beam owner’s suite located on the main deck, which spans 37-square-metres and boasts forward-facing windows with 180-degree views. Remaining guests are hosted in two VIP ensuite staterooms and two additional staterooms on the lower deck. The main deck is also home to an expansive galley and pantry for dining.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353257/image/large-c6d9785772fef7abcb8dd1bbb9ed48f7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353257">In terms of its decor, the owner’s suite is embellished with White Emperador marble walls, ash bleached oak floors and Belvedere quartzite basins in the ensuite bathroom. A detail that differentiates the eight Moonen Martinique from previous models is the aft-facing king-size bed. “It seems like a minor detail to flip the position of the bed, yet this gives owners clear sight lines out to sea when they wake rather than looking onto the bow which impedes the view,” Hoekstra shared.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353258/image/large-df2d8f704170e872b4f0e82cd1b780ca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353258">At the heart of the yacht’s design are three materials: wood, leather and brass, which are married to a warm mid-century colour scheme of light taupe and grey. Inside the main saloon is an antique bronze mirrored ceiling referencing 17th century Dutch architecture, while several shades of blue and a Delftware-inspired mural on the dining room wall are also a nod to the Netherlands. As Hoekstra said, “The white and blue of Dutch Delftware porcelain is iconic and instantly recognisable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353253/image/large-1ba4908b1bfa504a6c33f8526414f5e4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353253">We used hand sketching techniques combined with artificial intelligence to create a scene that is rich with feeling, from the lush forests and deep bodies of water that we have in Holland, to the bird in flight which could be interpreted as the project’s namesake Moonbird.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353273/image/large-969bee81fa2b100d1d41612878472758.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353273">As for the ripped upper section of the mural, Hoekstra elaborated: “We didn’t want to make it neat and square but highlight the quirkiness of Dutch design by ripping the corner off. It's been made using revolutionary software, but guests are free to imagine the rest themselves. That itself is very Dutch.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353275/image/large-11bc7f2d1ef76ba86a17cf0694da4d2f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353275">Moving to the main deck lobby where a central staircase connects all three decks, here the glossy turquoise walls are paired with light taupe treads, a second mirrored ceiling and antique bronze finishes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353274/image/large-21f8085a7430504317fcdb2de8dbb137.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353274">The 17th century motifs extend to the yacht’s sky lounge, which offers a framed TVabove a bioethanol fireplace with a cream marble surround.

From above, the beach club is illuminated by a glass-bottomed swimming pool with sunlight streaming through it for a maritime-themed atmosphere. Moving to the main deck, an 18-square-metre, one-metre deep swimming pool is accompanied by a bar and lounge area for guests to relax and socialise.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353200/image/large-76642613cf99e955661bc8518f22ce6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353200">According to designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino</a>, “The primary concept behind Project Life was to put forward life itself and life close to the water.

Project Life’s 98-square-metre owner’s suite has a versatile room situated next to it, which can serve as a private office or a space dedicated to the owner’s hobbies, for example. The owner’s area transitions to the sky lounge, a glass-enclosed hub fitted with sofas for those onboard to take in the sounds and vision of the aquatic surroundings.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353197/image/large-e33be7261e4903fd90ddad7f84c18e3f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353197">“Project Life is a new vision for new owners,” stated Sebastien Gey, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti Design</a>. “We tried to soften the boundaries between the interior and exterior – or make them disappear completely.

In addition, her system is developed to operate on both diesel and non-fossil fuels including HVO. By using an advanced, direct expansion HVAC system, energy consumption is reduced by up to 60 percent, while solar panels integrated into the vessel’s superstructure are aimed to generate clean energy and help recharge her electric tenders and water toys.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353195/image/large-6e50e7fc04ab2cb6289d74156a614afc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353195">“Increasingly clients are concerned with the holistic yacht design, not only does it need to look great and have a layout than enables a fantastic lifestyle onboard but decisions taken need to be environmentally conscious, the crew operation must be safe, smooth and efficient as well as technical redundancy and resilience needing to be seamlessly integrated into the platform.

A closer look at the 85m Benetti superyacht Project Life

Salvatore Canzoneri has shared the renderings and details of Kossyra, a 67-metre island-inspired superyacht concept. The up-and-coming yacht designer made it to the finals of the Young Designer of the Year 2024 awards, in partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>, with his design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353182/image/large-cb1914a21320cc52b4ab8cc0a2f7712e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353182">Described by her designer as “a floating sanctuary that captures the essence of the Mediterranean,” Kossyra is christened after the Pantelleria, an island in Italy formerly known as Cossyra. By embodying the tranquil spirit of island living, this yacht design aims to offer a refuge from the hustle and bustle of modern city life. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353183/image/large-626a1e89c236cb2cf429c2dbb0561a78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353183">From an outside perspective, the sleek, sculpted lines that encapsulate Kossyra’s exterior silhouette are a nod to Pantelleria’s fecund landscape which is dictated by mistral breezes, while also referencing the domed Dammuso rooftops that are characteristic of the island. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353184/image/large-42dacc286ece7b69e0d45bfbae3001dc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353184">When it comes to her interiors, Kossyra’s indoor living areas are defined by peace, minimalism and simplicity, with soft, organic curves enhancing the sense of continuity between various spaces. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353181/image/large-fccb4ec806ff4a3ccd16a46952c8f5ed.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353181">Furthermore, the interiors are decked out in double-eight ceilings for an aerial spaciousness, while a number of locations merge the indoor and outdoor areas for more immersion with the surrounding maritime backdrop.One of Kossyra’s highlights is her beach club displaying a cave-like design for a closer connection to the natural elements and simultaneous sheltering. Those onboard are also invited to catch rays on the sunpads found on the main deck aft, or dine alfresco at a circular table located on the deck above, which also boasts a pool in the bow. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353180/image/large-cf1407f7d3a91bfdcc1bb69623e46344.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353180">On the same deck, is a forward-facing owner’s stateroom complete with an office and an ensuite bathroom including a bathtub. Meanwhile, Kossyra’s main deck is home to three double staterooms and a VIP suite for hosting the remaining guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353185/image/large-f6435fb5f02eb638cf2b4ac4f0ff8a24.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353185">“More than a yacht, Kossyra is a reflection of a way of life - where design, nature, and innovation come together to create a place of refuge and renewal. It is a vessel for those seeking to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean,” Canzoneri concluded.&nbsp;
