<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche</a> has unveiled the first renderings of a new 31.08-metre explorer yacht model, RAW. Described by CdM as the first model in the new RAW series, the tri-deck yacht has been designed in collaboration with designer Giorgio M. Cassetta of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cassetta Yacht Designers (Company)">Cassetta Yacht Designers</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327003/image/large-b8f1920da4ae71c4a136cd4a0924d74b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327003">RAW features a bold, yet strong exterior design, characterised by a geometrical, contemporary aesthetic. “At her core she is a true marine vessel,” described Giorgio M. Cassetta, during her unveiling at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/210" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2024">Cannes Yachting Festival 2024</a>.&nbsp;“RAW conveys a sense of masculinity, with a sense of ruggedness and an almost borderline aggressive profile. However, our vision was to create a playful product and she immediately portrays a sense of fun in her design.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327203/image/large-a7a24ef6bf34913314d91f9a412871d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327203">RAW was developed to create a balance between size and functionality, making her an ideal vessel for both first-time owners and seasoned professionals. Her size allows her to deliver all the features and performance expected from larger yachts, while remaining versatile and easy handling.“Our primary motivation was to maintain absolute leadership in a market segment that our competitors find difficult to master. A true explorer yacht, custom or semi-custom design, built with an incredible value in mind,” added Vasco Buonpensiere, Founder &amp; Chief Executive Officer at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327002/image/large-fa027020beebeda717a0891f395df23c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327002">Built for exploration, RAW is powerful with an unfiltered and ‘raw’ aesthetic. Her name derives from this approach, standing for “Recreational All-Weather Watercraft” emphasising her capability to navigate in diverse and challenging conditions.With a robust exterior and practical design, RAW is engineered to thrive in extreme environments while providing comfort and luxury onboard. This combination of rugged performance and refined living spaces ensures she is just as suited for adventurous expeditions, as she is for leisurely cruising in more familiar waters.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327205/image/large-ba17d55b37d1db25a59319dda87a7db6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327205">Among RAW’s unique characteristics are her layout, which has been carefully developed to maximise space and volume. The result is a spacious configuration that can be customised according to the owner’s requests and lifestyle.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327194/image/large-df6ead12fbd6a73f361e30969e7269d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327194">Also known as the RAW 102, the yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests across a five stateroom configuration, with her owner’s suite situated on the main deck and her remaining four staterooms located on the lower deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327005/image/large-86e445d40ae7e65f1a7cf8503674c358.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327005">“It was extraordinarily challenging to create something worthy of attention in the 100-foot range. RAW offers a perfect balance between manageable size, reasonable ownership costs, striking aesthetics, and ample onboard space,” added Giorgio M.

The companies’ right to operate and manage the concession was signed earlier this week on 1 October. They will now develop and operate the project submitted to Valencia Port Authority for a minimum period of 35 years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331229/image/large-4e1695846313bf69f20dab3003726572.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331229">The project includes three separate marinas - Marina Norte, Marina Sur and Marina City - and will renovate the entire site, breathing new life into it. The new Marina Valencia licence-holder is set to restore the “previous life and spirit” of the area, which once hosted the America’s cup, according to IPM Group.The renovation will see the facility be separated into four individual areas the first of which will consist of three marinas in the centre of the city for yachts between eight and 130-metres in length. The second section will comprise the construction of a refit and repair yard housing specialist companies.&nbsp;Moreover, the third section will include a leisure, dining, and entertainment area that merges with the locale, ensuring the marina is a popular venue for local, national, and international visitors. Lastly, the fourth section will feature an architecturally aesthetic area offering sea views, offices, and retail units, which will also be paired with parking spaces, bike lanes, jogging tracks, terraces, and landscaped gardens.&nbsp;“However, the project doesn’t just involve the revamp of the marina, but also includes the development of fascinating social, nautical, environmental and sporting proposals that will be rolled out as the whole project takes shape,” IPM group explains.&nbsp;

Following their early 2000s advancements in zero-speed stabilisation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a> is now leading the charge in electric stabilisation with the launch of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> E-Fin. This first fully electric stabilisation system was revealed at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> breakfast event on 25 September during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">2024 Monaco Yacht Show.</a>“The product is designed for a fin size in the three to five-metre range, which we refer to in terms of fin square-metres, and can be easily retrofitted to a Quantum XT™.” says John Allen, owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a>. The system is engineered to accommodate vessels in the 40m – 65m range. &nbsp;The system provides reliable stabilisation both at zero speed and underway, essential for modern luxury yachts prioritising comfort and performance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330703/image/large-f4e408235b36f31880a395cdcdf2631b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330703">This new system promises to boost energy efficiency by minimising wasted power during standby mode, leading to quieter and smoother operation compared to traditional stabilisers. With the e-FIN, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> aims to address the increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the luxury yachting sector. Furthermore, the e-FIN simplifies maintenance, reducing the complexities typically associated with hydraulic stabilisers and offering a user-friendly experience.First fully-electric stabilisation systemDesigned to enhance both operational efficiency and environmental impact, the e-FIN features a compact, robust gearbox and electrolytic capacitors that facilitate seamless power recovery and storage. This innovation reduces energy consumption and lowers emissions, while providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional hydraulic systems.A significant advantage of the e-FIN is its ability to recover and store energy through proprietary technologies, ensuring that excess energy generated during fin movement can be reused. “Depending on sea conditions, we can recover nearly 80 percent of the energy used to move the fin in underway mode,” highlights John Allen. This not only boosts overall efficiency but also decreases the yacht’s power consumption, resulting in reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330702/image/large-d3b307e8cbdb7e9b09e8bc5e97a8c893.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330702">Developing the E-FinThe E-FIN is the product of a multidisciplinary collaboration among <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a>’s team of 15 engineers from the United States and the Netherlands, spanning fields such as hydrodynamics, naval architecture, and electrical and mechanical engineering. Katie Ross, Business Development Manager, notes, “When I asked our Engineer Manager how our electric system differs from the competition, he responded, ‘We don’t know. We just decided to design the best electric stabiliser possible. That removed any boundaries for us.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> initially explored electric stabilisation a decade ago, but the available technology fell short of the company’s standards. “The components weren’t there. They needed to be lighter, smaller, cheaper, easier to install, and less likely to overheat. Energy storage and recovery were also not as advanced,” explains Andrew Corbin, Technical Sales Manager. At that time, the concept of an electric stabiliser seemed impractical due to these technological limitations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330701/image/large-1c1b9c467fdedf9dcbd7d29e1d684e02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330701">After pausing research into the e-FIN in 2014, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> shifted its focus to improving existing systems and developing new innovations, such as the F45, as shared by John Allen during the unveiling event. “In 2022, we revisited the electric stabiliser, and by then, the technology had advanced considerably. What wasn’t available to us in 2012 was now readily accessible,” Allen continued.“For us, the key to the e-FIN was the technology developed for the F45, our hybrid power unit used in larger stabilisers. Essential to this is energy storage and recovery. We realised that with an efficient design, we could recover energy from the stabiliser while it’s in motion, which is substantial,” elaborates Allen. “We used the F45 energy storage and recovery theory for the e-FIN, allowing us to smooth the power output, reduce overall energy consumption, and recover energy during operation for future use,” he adds.A unique gearboxA standout feature of the e-FIN is its proprietary gearbox, engineered to endure up to, at least 10 million cycles, ensuring durability in demanding marine environments. In addition, this robust system employs electrolytic capacitors for power storage, chosen for their capacity to withstand high temperatures and effectively manage power fluctuations.John Allen explains, “We approached the design of the e-FIN with an in-house designed gearbox. We didn’t outsource a drive or gearbox from a supplier; instead, we designed our own, that could accommodate unique movements, while meeting the structural noise requirements and longevity that were important to our requirements.&nbsp;To address the challenges of cyclical loading, Allen continues, “Cyclical loading, such as a jump from zero to 25 kilowatts every four seconds, can compromise the ship’s electrical grid, causing a major strain and potential failure. &nbsp;With the electric stabiliser, the unit becomes so efficient that we had to find a solution to smooth the power. So we did.”&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330705/image/large-1dffb2853fc68f62b37802c96ff1d3e4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330705">Andrew Corbin, Technical Sales Manager, adds, “Every yard will tell you that stabilisers can be an issue for onboard power systems. Fluctuations are detrimental to the power grid, and power is more easily drained at anchor. Energy storage for power smoothing is inherently important for the operation of the system, and until now, no one could recapture the power.”&nbsp;Complementing the gearbox is the E6 controller, which enhances the system’s functionality by monitoring the motor’s torque. This allows for real-time adjustments, reducing maintenance needs. The controller tracks power consumption and operational cycles, and it can be remotely accessed, adding a layer of convenience for yacht operators.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330704/image/large-08b642d2e7f3e560f4e4265d7f273a0d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330704">The launch of the E-Fin marks a new chapter for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a>, and underscores the company’s dedication to innovation and sustainability.
