The classic sailing world is preparing for the most exclusive event of the season. On December 2nd , a fleet of gorgeous classic and vintage sailing yachts will cast off on the final leg of the Panerai Transat Classique 2012, the only transatlantic regatta devoted exclusively to classic yachts. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141966/image/large-d5c56c474346d46f62cc0d5e25dd9542.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141161">The fleet leaves from the prestigious Clube Naval de Cascais in Cascais, Portugal, bound for Barbados whose exotic Treasure Island beauty will be a well-deserved prize in itself. The owner of the winning boat will, however, also be presented with the watch that sponsor Panerai created in honour of the regatta: the Luminor 1950 Rattrapante 8 Days Titanio – 47mm, an exclusive Special Edition timepiece featuring an inscription of the Panerai Transat Classique 2012 logo on its caseback. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141967/image/large-79266f72a9b0f99c040cc78543ab1866.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141162">The transatlantic challenge celebrates the alliance of excellence between Officine Panerai, the Italian haute horlogerie sports watch brand which has been promoting classic sailing for many years through its sponsorship of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, and the Atlantic Yacht Club which launched the prestige four-yearly event. Now on its second outing, the first Transat Classique was won by the yawl Stiren in 2008 after a transatlantic dash between Agadir in Morocco and Saint Barth. Hundreds of passionate owners, skippers and crew will be competing in a race that is much more than a mere celebration of the extraordinary elegance, beauty, craftsmanship and uniqueness of classic boats. The Panerai Transat Classique 2012 is also a challenge that pits human strength, courage and valour against the immense power of the sea. In fact, the participants will compete on crafts that in certain cases are over a century old. They will be powered on their voyage not only by the winds and ocean currents but, more importantly, by the huge passion shared by all sea lovers.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141968/image/large-75ba251395781cbc52490b5e42d4a5cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141166">Several of the competing yachts will be coming to Cascais with points accumulated in the course of the two approach legs which started from Douarnenez in Brittany (22nd July) and Saint-Tropez (25th October) with finish-lines at Cascais. Overall, any of the yachts that took part in either of the preliminary legs will sail into Barbados, having put more than 4,000 nautical miles behind them. The Panerai Transat Classique 2012 is an old-fashioned challenge, just like the wood used to build the boats taking part, and the age-old connection between owners and boats, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Sea.

7 Simple ways for yacht crew to improve the charter experienceYacht charters are all about having happy guests and smooth crew operations. Charter guests who are having a great experience are more likely to leave a generous tip and consider returning in the future. The key to achieving this lies in clear communication and flawless teamwork among the crew.As crews continue to raise the bar in personal service and onboard standards, guest expectations have followed suit. To help meet these growing demands, here are 7 ways crew can improve the guests charter experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326353/image/large-12e5abac090bdd1300270a315a66e1d0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326353">1. Live updated itineraryWith <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>, guests can explore the itinerary and learn about the destinations before or during their trip, building excitement for their journey. Since plans can always change, <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> allows for easy updates with just a few clicks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293520/image/large-bcaf871c82671be3bc474149a03718d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293520"> 2. Detailed Guest Schedule&nbsp;Keeping both guests and crew informed of the daily schedule ensures smooth operations and avoids any confusion.&nbsp;When guests see the schedule at the start of the day, they know exactly which activities are planned, when to be ready for lunch, any dress code requirements and what’s on the menu—without having to rely on the principal guest or crew for updates.Displaying the guest schedule in the crew mess keeps all crew members aware of the day’s plans, allowing them to coordinate their tasks and departments more effectively.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311450/image/large-953cc2b5445f1cb8248f106307355540.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311450">3. All menus at your fingertipsOrdering onboard often involves multiple steps: requesting, waiting for, reviewing a menu and then placing an order. With the <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> app, guests can skip these steps and conveniently browse wellness, cocktail, and wine menus right from the sun deck on their phone or iPad. This not only saves valuable time for the crew, but also provides a faster and more seamless experience for guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286901/image/large-8defdd490628d90bb717556354f626d9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286901">4. Get to know the crew&nbsp;Boarding a yacht and meeting the crew can be a lot to take in, especially when trying to remember names. <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> makes this easier by showcasing all crew members in one place. Guests can quickly check crew names before ordering a cocktail or learn more about each member through their profile.For administrative users, managing crew visibility is a breeze. Just click a button to set crew members as ‘Onboard’ or ‘On leave’ based on their current status. This eliminates the need for printing and distributing updates in each guest folder.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293740/image/large-de38eb6d25c9f2a72ebc78b22e3f83da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293740">5. &nbsp; &nbsp; Easy access to Tenders &amp; ToysWith <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>, guests can explore all the boat’s toys without the need to display everything or give tours of the tender garage. The crew can add important details like setup times, license requirements, and country-specific restrictions. This helps the guests plan their activities smoothly without having to seek additional information.Guests can browse the options at their own pace, ask a crewmember to set up their preferred toys and head to the beach club whenever they’re ready.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311630/image/large-5585c10755c10f26985acb9788813391.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311630">6. Display the trips’ picturesAfter a full day of activities, it's great to show guests a recap of their adventures. With <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>, you can showcase a gallery of the day's highlights on the TV during dinner or turn-down service, helping them relive and remember the fantastic day. When the trip ends, they’ll have a wonderful collection of memories to look back on.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286933/image/large-292f018c131c647a63862d68400ad3b1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286933">7. &nbsp; &nbsp; Identify yachts around youWhen guests are onboard a yacht, they often wonder about the yachts around them. Instead of asking the crew, they can easily identify nearby yachts using <a href="https://www.yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>. Just open the Yacht Radar feature, click on any yacht, and instantly access its full specifications and photos.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326646/image/large-b66e20b364c0a6035e99fad0c5874ecc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326646">Do you want better charters, happier crew and happier guests?

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">SilverYachts</a> has announced the successful delivery of the first SpaceCat 36-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11984" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reduce36.0m (118'1&quot;)Silver Yachts2024">Reduce</a>. Designed by internationally renowned designer and longtime SilverYachts partner <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 sub-500 GT catamaran’s name is emblematic of the philosophy behind her design and construction. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11984" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reduce36.0m (118'1&quot;)Silver Yachts2024">Reduce</a> has been designed and built with the goal of reducing her footprint. From the choice of the most efficient marine platform, to the choice of propulsors and hull and superstructure materials, aluminium being the lightest, strongest and most easily recyclable construction material for yachts this size.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326022/image/large-75e1cd01bab2ce6c85ba0cbbc90114f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326022">When shipyard Founder Guido Krass and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino</a> came together once more to redefine the modern sustainable yacht they took the already super-efficient slender monohulls which defines the first generation <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">SilverYachts</a> to the next level by going for even more slender (thus more efficient) and paired them in the form of a catamaran to provide the transverse stability and at the same time creating a perfect platform for the floating summer house which, in the end, is what most yachts are all about.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326019/image/large-ed08058005c363a4642ba8886cbba1a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326019">At 36-metres with a 13-metre beam, the length to beam ratio of a catamaran resembles more an apartment than a yacht. This makes the SpaceCat the perfect platform for creating a summer home on the water, with most of the shared guest and owner’s spaces located on the main deck rather than on the lower decks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326060/image/large-8c75878e2befcf4eb02f27812fa45fe9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326060">Her expansive beam also allows for an impressive 400 square-metres of interior space, as well as more than 480 square-metres of exterior deck space. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11984" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reduce36.0m (118'1&quot;)Silver Yachts2024">Reduce</a> provides ample space for her guests and crew, and at 483 GT the vessel comes in under the 500 GT mark which makes crewing and operations less costly and much easier whilst still providing the big boat feeling only a beam of 13-metres can do.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326025/image/large-05188e2817052b32ac5d25d06bc2a2b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326025">Large yacht capabilitiesThe large yacht expertise of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">SilverYachts</a> is immediately felt when onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11984" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reduce36.0m (118'1&quot;)Silver Yachts2024">Reduce</a>. Her large windows, high ceilings, generous staircases and corridors, combined with her large beam give the yacht the feeling of a much larger motor yacht. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326024/image/large-cdd2924721c1bacf89a7f6cab4132913.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326024">The very low hull resistance makes it possible to reduce the propulsion power and thus the engine room spaces offer more space to the crew and services. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS pods have an extremely high propulsive efficiency which when combined with the low resistance of the slender hulls propel the vessel to a top speed of 24 knots and an economical cruising speed of 18 knots. At 12 knots, using only two of the four engines the fuel 3 consumption is a modest 130 litres per hour, providing a range of 3,300 nautical miles including a 10 percent reserve.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326056/image/large-9e8cc42c12a8985531b76738aa55d63a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326056">The modern <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> engines are fully Tier III compliant, reducing emissions to the minimum and come with a fully integrated joystick system.
