The 41m classic Fife schooner Altair proves she is still a force to be reckoned with on the classic yacht racing circuit. Despite having not raced for 2 years and dashing back from her extended summer cruise in Greece and Croatia, Altair put in a very solid performance at this year’s Les Voiles de St Tropez regatta, 25th September – 3rd October; scoring two second places a first and a third. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/132652/image/large-589489b205c5a3021bf11c07ef0d1de9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130259">It’s testament to the versatility of <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2085">Altair</a> that the yacht can comfortably undertake extended cruising all summer, spending the majority of this time at anchor, return for a quick yard stop to complete a Lloyds class survey and immediately sail to St Tropez and achieve 2nd in class. Altair remains one of the most genuine and original classics sailing today and is for sale through Toby Maclaurin at Ocean Independence.Ocean Independence Toby Maclaurin +41 443 902 575 <a href="mailto:toby@ocyachts.com?subject=Altair%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">toby@ocyachts.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oceanindependence.com/">www.oceanindependence.com</a>

Designed in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi</a>, she features a sporty styling and sinuous lines. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271715/image/large-eb55fe176714a018f24469d637b7ea87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271715">The 70-metre superyacht features a steel grey hull with charcoal details, with minimal windows that create a sleek aesthetic and accentuate the length of the hull. The charcoal-colour skylounge, where the wheelhouse is placed, seems set back so as not to interfere with the slender line and let the characteristic <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> arch connecting all the decks take centre stage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271698/image/large-6a8f3017de4905994271594775464319.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271698">Externally, the yacht features a spacious foredeck which is privately accessed by the owner's stateroom on the main deck. This area includes an infinity pool connected to the owner cabin through a lit up path for a great scenic effect. A touch and go platform can also be provided. The owner stateroom is a formed as a glasshouse, where the very slim frames of the large opening floor-to-ceiling windows are virtually invisible, amplifying the feeling of continuity between inside and outside.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271714/image/large-b3fa4a734696608e11d19aea965a0fc1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271714"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271713/image/large-7e17fedccf6448abaccdb42fc73e85ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271713">At the stern end of the upper deck, such sense of continuity between the round dining room with opening windows at 180 degrees and the external cockpit is achieved through the use of the same type of wood. The outdoor furnishings are organic and characterised by very modern round and curved shapes combined with warm colour wood for a glamorous high-quality elegance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271704/image/large-fe2a34f41482170a507e8670337635d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271704"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271703/image/large-b0b55e3e67f3f11edf78b9c327ed3ca0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271703">The yacht's interior is finished in teak and wenge wood on both the flooring and ceiling cladding. Dove grey and taupe are the main colours with contemporary blue lifting the warm pallet. Marble and satin brass are used to add an elegant touch to the yacht. The owner stateroom strays from the path using a combination of sandblasted teak-colour walnut wood and very light-colour leather to produce a truly unique effect.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271705/image/large-edd18d0a59a14f3d3cbcd47061c707d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271705"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271707/image/large-e767f1c2ef32429b8034d4a89f4d119c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271707"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271706/image/large-33e8a9fa91b88b9de7cdb53a01529ff7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271706">The yacht can accommodate as many as 1 guests between five double staterooms on the main deck, including a VIP with a private lounge. The owner's stateroom features a bath and shower, with his-and-hers bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271711/image/large-ed63acc65c909329dff7e2582e1a3b02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271711"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271712/image/large-e94d87f0638c313f32cb663d9ad4cdec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271712"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271708/image/large-44f2a76c117db8a2aece0e1c9de0b323.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271708">The spacious spa area on the lower deck is connected on the sides and aft by large opening platforms. The use of very thin-cut and treated stone conveys this environment an incredibly relaxing Zen touch. Behind the bar, there is a LED TV visible from everywhere in the room, for the projection of films or ambience videos.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271709/image/large-64c84360af0dae30146d5e9d2c306a20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271709"> A 50-metre model will also be presented soon. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271699/image/large-e8883ac4b36822881f01d2fea3df2139.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271699">

She features a bold exterior profile, characterised by a muscular reverse sheer to the bow, chiselled contours and dark horizontal strip windows.Designed and built for an experienced owner, Project 823 radiates strength in her profile. The steel and aluminium yacht features uninterrupted lines from bow to stern and wide windows, creating a unique silhouette while showcasing her poise and grace on the water.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271482/image/large-c43eb53e809ce6365b05f44ec0849f93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271482">The interior of Project 823 is simple yet sophisticated and boasts natural tones, light wood veneers, and organic forms.

A key highlight onboard is her expansive sundeck area with a central lounge zone protected from the elements by a glass windbreak and a hardtop. Wide side windows and nine skylights in the roof also ensure that views will be uninterrupted, while her radar mast was engineered to span these glass skylights, supported by flat panel satellite hardware for broadband internet.The tenders onboard Project 823 have been stored behind the high bulwarks on the foredeck, to cleverly free up space on the lower deck for a large wellness area and gym located in the stern area.

It is designed to improve on our own high standards - with world class performance, efficiency, flexibility – and a people first approach in mind.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271475/image/large-178625abb670a07831514a5d524f6868.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271475">The professional platform is the largest and most powerful platform in the Volvo IPS range, including a new, larger marine drive, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS 40. The new drive is designed with a pioneering dual power input concept, which manages the power to the water in the most efficient way, but also acts an important enabler to utilise different combinations of energy sources.&nbsp;Series production will begin in 2025 and the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS 40 drive will be powered by two <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> D13 engines, paired with a compact after treatment system to comply with the latest IMO Tier III standards. However, the platform is already prepared for a mix of power sources; from combustion engines running on renewable fuels to fully electric or hybrid solutions. The dual power input design offers flexibility and modularity on the journey towards increased sustainability. The new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Pent</a>a IPS professional platform is installed as twin, triple or quad, meaning each vessel will have from 4 to 8 power sources.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271476/image/large-782120e9950ba8628ca457fdb0f8ab10.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271476">The new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS professional platform is type approved and designed for heavy-duty commercial applications. It is expected to deliver up to 30 percent savings in fuel consumption and emissions compared to a traditional inboard shaft installation. &nbsp;Through a new efficiency-driven feature, the system can automatically start and stop individual engines based on power needed for each given situation, optimising fuel consumption and engine running hours, leading to extended service and maintenance intervals.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271474/image/large-3aea0d630e60f7e6a498021944a9749d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271474"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> is carrying out in-house development to ensure thorough in-water testing using its own passenger high-speed ferry test boat, strategically located near its marine test facility in Gothenburg, Sweden. Rigorous testing is in progress to ensure the durability and performance of the propulsion package, with field tests in an offshore-energy crew transfer vessel serving as the subsequent phase leading up to the anticipated 2025 delivery.“The new Volvo Penta IPS is a powerful platform that will provide the ultimate helm-to-propeller experience. It builds on a rich tradition of forward-thinking Volvo Penta design that puts people at the heart,” Johan says. “We are eager to expand this platform to a whole new class of professional marine segments, while at the same time, enabling the move toward increased sustainability at sea.
