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. The inspiration behind her design comes from the architecture and landscape of Chinese gardens and the belief of Taoism where humans and animals should live in balance in the universe. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269239/image/large-9b25bf7462ce12844314ee525170fd98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269239"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269240/image/large-db363695a27f8db2c222a0cd1767854b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269240"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269241/image/large-dfcb6b9fc0e621251f531c2194463250.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269241">The design of Lang-Ching is inspired by the elements which make up a Chinese garden such as a pavilion, teahouse, flowing water, folding screens, potted plants and window grilles. These are combined to create a transparent and exotic space which elevates the oriental and natural lifestyle.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269242/image/large-46fd6b7ca034768cb76c7d9939396aad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269242"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269243/image/large-bad501c4028f8f01f90f7b4a33226095.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269246/image/large-b97594d958d9f579642b6e921dba9b48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269246"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269252/image/large-f12025fc3aace17694d990a00cfabb59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269252">Lang-Ching is able to accommodate up to 12 guests across seven staterooms, with her owner’s suite complete with a stylish office and a bathroom designed in exotic Chinese style.

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">

World League of Agents: Revolutionising Yachting with a Non-Profit Network of Experts

Netherlands-based yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> has announced two new orders for a 34-metre yacht, Project 111.11 and a 35.29-metre yacht, Project Samba. The two new projects are based on the hull design of the multi-award winning yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LL34.0m (111'7&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2021">Lady Lene</a> and are being custom-designed to meet the needs of the clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272384/image/large-3f79af43b9989549f108404a8d5cf2f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272384">Both Project 111.11 and Project Samba will share the same naval architecture and degree of finish and will each feature a different exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a>. The interior of Project Samba will also be handled by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a>, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carla Guilhem (Company)">Carla Guilhem</a> has been entrusted with the role for Project 111.11.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272371/image/large-ac3133626fdd190b8c7f86ee2174cee3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272371">“Both owners have been very involved in the development of the design and specs,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a>’s Head of Sales, Yoeri Bijker. “Our yard is attracting clients who love to immerse themselves in creating something special and are not prepared to settle for an off-the-shelf product. It’s a lifestyle choice and they enjoy the process of developing their perfect yacht as much as they do the ultimate end result.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272374/image/large-b0499096416fbff7deba8cff0e21906d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272374">Project 111.11 showcases expansive windows and an arch rising diagonally from the main deck to the hard top, in a single straight line. The explorer yacht features an asymmetrical semi-full-beam skylounge and a sidewalk from the bridge to aft deck to avoid crew going through the lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272375/image/large-5054ab223a1708f935a8b1efe955df97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272375">Her full-beam master suite is situated on the main deck and includes a large walk-in wardrobe with a chute that leads directly to the laundry station on the lower deck. Further guest accommodations onboard Project 111.11 include two large VIP suites and two twins on the lower deck, all with ensuite bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272373/image/large-0a723fa5f5fdebd848006b13cb7e8361.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272373">Project Samba is characterised by her large aft deck, which includes a relaxation area with a large aft-facing sofa and a formal alfresco dining table. Her central staircase with a single large column from the lower to bridge deck also serves as a piece of art and optimises freedom of movement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272383/image/large-41426e105b5224f565132e67249fe5c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272383">Like Project 111.11, Project Samba features a full-beam master suite on the main deck, with two VIP suites and two spacious twins on the lower deck. The clients for Project Samba were introduced to Van der Valk by Will Noftsinger from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/833" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Denison Yachting (Company)">Denison Yachting</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272382/image/large-cb8514d6a30873ca2ab2dd8e9b93076a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272382">The lower deck of Project Samba will feature an impressive beach club with a chill-out area and sauna. Her spacious garage is able to store a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4203" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Williams Performance Tenders (Company)">Williams</a> Sportjet 395 tender, and once launched opens up with more space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272386/image/large-98fe8b1732021c54820bfc65bba04d83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272386">Performance-wise, both yachts have been adjusted to meet the needs of their highly experienced owners. “The proven hull design and naval architecture platform allows us to offer the choice between a full or fast displacement vessel,” explained Yoeri Bijker.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272385/image/large-03c8c3c42d90d0992dba4cce4a6ff162.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272385">Project 111.11 will be a full displacement vessel with twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> 750 horsepower engines and a top speed of 14.4 knots. In contrast, Project Samba’s fast displacement hull and twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> 1450 horsepower diesel engines will ensure top speeds around the 17 knot mark.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272376/image/large-b3991fe8b271d0adac814c64856000fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272376">“Using the engineering packages and part of the cutting files generates significant cost synergies yet allows for an entirely different look and feel. It’s a highly efficient way of building that provides clients with exceptional freedom to customise their yacht above the waterline. Everything you see on the renderings for Project 111.11 and Project Samba has been chosen by the owners as they implement their own style and make a statement of personal taste,” concluded Yoeri Bijker.
