The latest development in the field of environmentally conscious vessels comes from the U.S. wind turbine manufacturer, Inergy, who has recently revealed their first superyacht series of yachts that utilise wind energy. Named the Gemma Series, the flagship vessel will be the Gemma One, measuring 30.48 metres.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158353/image/large-7852e740a370634e940d30ec1220a8c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158349">The Gemma One is described by Inergy as a new generation clean vessel: a practical, safe, conservatively styled, amenity-rich, and highly automated boat that can be 100% powered by renewable energy, offering nearly unlimited remote operation.The wind turbine onboard is able to power and store the energy from the winds on the water, providing battery energy storage so that even when the vessel is stationary, it is producing and storing power. This works to eliminate many systems, drastically simplifying vessel operation and maintenance.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158354/image/large-f5feeee63f8e7081d33c0563a00502b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158350">We asked Jamie Schlinkmann, company President and the engineer of the concept, whether or not he saw this new technology as a feasible future of yachting. The answer was a resounding yes, though of course he admits that there will always be owners who will not go for such a radically different superyacht platform. He says, “The technologies are all commercial now, but it still depends on perspective. There is definitely a class of owners that won't own a 70+ tonne vessel that doesn’t go 40 knots.“Those people are happy having a revolving army of people maintaining their giant mechanical thermodynamic machines… and I have to say the gearhead side of me thinks that is pretty cool. But as I’ve gotten older and witnessed the changes to our reefs, and seen the unnecessary waste, the sustainable side of me has taken over. For the cruiser, trawler, sailor crowd…what could be better than no IC engines?”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158355/image/large-dc6a7f0b116d7a8de40a907cc54af790.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158351">For the superyacht crowd, however, is this going to be the kind of technology that will satisfy their needs and expectations of what owning and cruising with a superyacht should be? Schlinkmann tells us that it certainly can, and that this technology is just the first of many progressive steps towards a cleaner, greener industry. “Here are some trends I have noticed in recent years: plumb bows, multi-hulls, and solar panels. Along with those visual trends are displacement speeds, passive stability, hybrid propulsion. These all reflect steps toward sustainability, and they all have impacts on buyer intangibles. Gemma One is only an evolutionary step in the grand scheme of things.“Our goal was to actually achieve more conventional styling along with the elements that make the vessel state-of-art like the large wind turbine, efficiency and stability of a multi-hull, and utter absence of diesels. Usable deck space, a big garage, and a manageable in-marina beam were practical function-over-form matters we felt strongly about. Others could likely best our take on aesthetic integration of the turbine with alternate functionality in mind.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158356/image/large-f085bd6627ead3c76c61e2d2324225b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/158352">With the inevitability of advancement in both the technology itself and the - perhaps more traditionally attractive - aesthetic evolution of the concept, another question we posed to Schlinkmann was in regards to costs. The environmental impacts seen with the Gemma Series are, of course, attractive and important in terms of the ever-increasing significance of environmental issues but, as is often the case, if the costs are too high, then many will choose to go down the more traditional route. Schlinkmann says this will not be a problem: “Amazingly, the trade-offs are quite valuable. You may be shocked to know our budget for Gemma One is not unlike a similarly accommodated conventional vessel. The batteries add over $1,000,000, but that’s not very significant on a vessel this size.”With the project still awaiting a formal introduction to the industry, Schlinkmann told us that already the Gemma Series is attracting daily interest, predominantly from European clients. This level of interest is perhaps indicative that this is indeed the first step in the right direction to an increasingly environmentally conscious superyacht industry.By Gemma Fottles

According to the Germany/China-based studio Lang-Ching is a bold combination of traditional Chinese aesthetics and modern yacht design ideas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269238/image/large-28e699dd7fb4cbf7e582fd30c8d39b59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269238">“The name Lang-Ching, Chinese written as 朗清舸, comes from a piece of well-known Chinese calligraphy work Lantingji Xu (兰亭集序/"Orchid Pavilion Preface"), which was written in the fourth century AD about a elegant party with celebrities. The word of the name refers to an ideal cosy state of clear weather and smooth wind,” explained designer Chong Wu. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269234/image/large-6255436f84a73074fd71b980199033e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269234"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269237/image/large-8459f433b656a985cd21448a7cc9b4db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269237"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269250/image/large-264c54fdacb3c8b0463e68c487eab2bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269250">Lang-Ching provides her owner with spacious and transparent spaces for entertaining and relaxing onboard.

There is the opportunity to lounge at her pool, or get in a workout at her gym, as well as relaxing in her spacious beach club area. Guests can make use of her large tender and toy garage and there is even the option to land and store a helicopter, with a dedicated hangar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265336/image/large-1de014551e24c171e36348efb417b848.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265336">“We might be biassed, but we think she turned out rather sexy!” concluded Christian Leyk. “It would be up to her future owner whether or not to add a matching tender, but something featuring polished aluminium and rivets and a repurposed aircraft engine would certainly look great alongside her!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265331/image/large-eec01816324c40cffc1c330691f659d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265331">

The presentation took place at the Tuscan seaside resort of Forte dei Marmi at the Forté In showroom, a company active in the world of luxury Italian furniture and a close collaborator of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a>’s.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250149/image/large-86c73a808db9f18b215a6d593fdd82a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250149">The choice of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini Design &amp; Architecture</a> for the interior styling brings additional pedigree and Italian flair to the project. Suave and sophisticated but also welcoming and family-friendly, the colour palette in the main saloon and dining room, which take advantage of the full 9.6-metre beam, is based on aquamarine and ivory soft furnishings combined with warm wood veneers, natural leathers and full-height windows for exceptional light and panoramic views. Punchy blue fabrics are used in the sky lounge on the upper deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272679/image/large-f426f340c4125f202b1dd0f4245d202c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272679">The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a> studio brought along various material samples that appear onboard the yacht and project leader Silvia Margutti pointed out the contrasting veneers comprising almond-toned oak, darker oak, teak, eucalyptus and rosewood, with both satin and glossy finishes. These are paired with soft tan leather by Foglizzo, custom wardrobe handles engineered by the shipyard, Invisible Grey, Jolie Grey, Fiore di Pesco and Ombra di Caravaggio marbles. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272678/image/large-d615976b62249d4a4aabf4ba2e1fd388.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272678">“In the bathrooms we wanted to have glass partitions that offered transparency combined with a degree or privacy, so we’ve introduced a special textured and etched glass that lets plenty of light in but you don’t feel like you’re on display,” said Margutti, who describes the overall interior style as “audacious classic.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272681/image/large-135052bf95cb26d55059a0660051b1d2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272681">In the bathrooms the taps are by Gessi and recall the Charleston era of the 1920s with a modern twist, while the shower controls, also by Gessi, have an analogue feel with ratcheted knobs and push buttons like a high-fidelity audio set-up from the 70s or 80s. The large windows not only provide panoramic views, but also highlight the palette of interior materials, textures and colours.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272680/image/large-e5559e2e724a45abd5d65058870e6eca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272680">The free-standing furniture and accessories are by a host of Italian designer labels such as Promemoria, Giorgetti, Henge, Catellani &amp; Smith, Palagi Exteta, Ceccotti Collezioni and Poltrona Frau.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272677/image/large-7a9a5d6339ce5f6f848df656445c9e89.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272677">With four guest suites on the lower deck and a VIP suite on the bridge deck, the yacht can sleep 12 guests, including the owners. The 82-square-metre master stateroom is spread across the entire beam on the main deck forward and sports a fixed balcony on the starboard side.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272676/image/large-77899b444dbfe56906a809f737eb4d9d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272676">“This is something new that wasn’t a feature of the previous platforms,” said Margutti. “It’s a very special and cosy area – perfect for enjoying a private breakfast or a cocktail at sunset away from the other guests.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250148/image/large-a3d0c1bce2f72ec39936052cb5d9a4f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250148">The muscular exterior profile of the 55-metre Steel series has been restyled by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a> to add a more contemporary touch. The changes mean that Project Venus shares only the same technical and engineering specifications with her predecessors in the series. A noteworthy addition is the “shark tooth” motif, a design feature halfway along the side of the bridge deck that lends the yacht a powerful personality. The clean and streamlined design is emphasised by having no fashion plates, so the superstructure is completely free of pillars. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272670/image/large-0dc03a623e23009456b3c49c5e9be6ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272670">The connection between the outdoor and indoor social spaces is designed to make the best of both. The sundeck is home to a Jacuzzi and a lounge area, while the beach club is a chill-out zone with a bar area and easy access to the water. Storing the yacht’s tenders on the foredeck means that this aft space is always available for use by guests without having to unload tenders and toys.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/56436" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts lays keel of 55m Steel superyacht Project Venus (2022-11-23 17:00:00 +0100)">Heesen Yachts lays keel of 55m Steel superyacht Project Venus<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272671/image/large-a040d926695bb70a0503b94dd30b5257.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272671"></a>Of course, Project Venus is for sale and a future owner is still in time to adapt the interior styling to his or her personal tastes, but in the studio’s experience these changes are usually minor: “With the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> projects we’re involved in, not much at all is changed in terms of materials. Sometimes the client will ask for some small modifications in their own space in the master suite, but generally they choose to stick with the proposed concept,” said Margutti.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204033/image/large-9437a9294c7549f5b69682263c0de605.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204033">During the event, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a> also presented his designs for the Neom complex in Saudi Arabia, one of the largest real estate projects under way in the world. The Sindalah Island resort in the Red Sea will be the first of 10 regions completed as part of the mega-development and includes a superyacht marina, yacht club, nine-hole golf course and Michelin-starred restaurants, along with high-end hotels, villas and apartments. Set to open in 2024, the project has been described as the “future of luxury travel.”
