Following her arrival in Falmouth, England back in autumn 2017, the Tripp designed performance sailing sloop G2 (ex. Cinderella IV) is currently undergoing a major refit at Pendennis Shipyard, with her owner representation being undertaken by Cornelsen &amp; Partner's Benjamin Stitt.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31562/image/large-942267d1d524fc77540ce1784e96c921.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31562">How G2 is expected to look following the refitBuilt by the Dutch yard Vitters in 2009 and measuring 39 metres, Cinderella IV&nbsp;was originally designed as a state-of-the-art carbon fibre, lifting-keel sailing yacht, with her vertical bow and windows giving her a foot in both the modern and classical worlds. However, her new owners looked to enhance her modern lines and give her a cleaner, sleeker and more dynamic look, and she has also been renamed G2,&nbsp;with the Falmouth-based shipyard currently a hive of activity with the refit works.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31572/image/large-6f5a5c2f8c70c987ab78ec0385b6d5ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31572">Spot the difference: Cinderella IV prior to the refit&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31573/image/large-13ebb52c0ff2264b506d4832f70fe51e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31573">Structural restyling by the original naval architect Tripp Design will see the exterior aft classic cuddy cabin, a feature catering to more intemperate climates, removed in order to create a large social space which is ideal for outdoor living in warmer locations. The pilothouse appears to float on the deck and provides dramatic sight lines along the length of the yacht. The aim is to create a beautiful, contemporary yacht with a silhouette that will be instantly recognizable and original, yet timeless, in her own right.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31570/image/large-a305564cd74db6fa6cbb39b1e26951ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31570">G2&nbsp;will also benefit from contemporary interiors designed by the Milan-based studio Nauta Design, which will be highlighted by the addition of a large glass skylight flooding her pilothouse with natural light. Nauta’s interior styling enhances her minimalistic interior, featuring natural woods and a relaxing geometry which blends seamlessly with the modernised exterior profile.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/31569/image/large-ea529bd5d71015e23ef0ed7f75ab631c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31569">In addition, to create a sense of modern and open plan living, Nauta’s new design has opened up the Main Salon with zones tailored to different social functions. The repositioning of a bulkhead further aft has also created a more spacious feel in the owner's cabin. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/31571/image/large-b9309de77204438bc6bba819e39204c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/31571">The engineering team at Pendennis are also modernising and upgrading G2's&nbsp;technical, navigational, communications and sailing systems. Following her 9-month refit, G2&nbsp;is due to be relaunched in June this year at which point she will undertake extensive sea and sail trials before departing for the Mediterranean in July. More details of the works on G2 are expected to be released upon her delivery this summer.

Particularly severe findings were made in relation to Wennberg, for whom the jury found that the owners had failed to pay any medical expenses to date, despite his documented injuries.Punitive damages were also awarded in response to the willful delays experienced by Ward and Parrott, whose compensation and medical costs were withheld for extended periods. During the trial, Utopia Yachting LLC admitted liability for the 2021 collision and conceded that Captain Matthew Inglis was negligent in leaving the bridge while the yacht was underway at full speed at night, placing an untrained crew member in charge of navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/199028/image/large-b5f3b28603aeb74c0388d24ec2770445.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/199028">In a notable mid-trial admission, the ownership company acknowledged that Parrott had not been paid his wages for the past three years due to what it described as an “oversight”.

Under the Act, crew members are entitled to compensation if they are hurt due to negligence by their employer or unsafe conditions onboard.&nbsp;It also ensures that injured seafarers receive “maintenance and cure,” which means the employer must cover medical treatment and basic living expenses until the individual has recovered or reached maximum medical improvement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254014/image/large-a74bb6abba1f99f1b26549fbf77beb3c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254014">Electro Technical Officer According to court documents, the ETO was thrown across the vessel upon impact and sustained injuries after colliding with a wall and the floor. They later descended to the engine room to check for water ingress and passed the captain ascending the staircase. This detail has been emphasised in the complaint, which asserts that the captain should have been on the bridge at the time.The complaint also states that the yacht’s stabilisers had not been adjusted from underway to zero-speed mode, causing increased rolling and contributing to further injury. While attempting to aid rescue operations, the ETO reportedly injured their left foot and ankle.&nbsp;The ETO alleges they later intervened when the captain was steering the yacht dangerously close to rocks upon arrival in the Bahamas, prompting the first officer to take emergency control to avert a second incident.&nbsp;As a result of the incident, the ETO was diagnosed with multiple fractures, a severe hip injury, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and is also undergoing treatment for PTSD.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254019/image/large-3c72853c9c57ed9917b8ff2b27cc754a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254019">Chief EngineerThe chief engineer is also suing for multiple incidents of injury sustained between October 2021 and February 2022, including the period surrounding the Bahamas collision. The earliest injury occurred in Newport, Rhode Island, when they fell through a missing floor plate in the engine room. As well as this, a separate incident in the tender garage allegedly resulted in facial and head injuries due to a dislodged metal plate.During the December 2021 collision, the engineer was in their cabin and suffered whiplash and back injuries. The complaint notes that the yacht’s second mast light and radar were not operational at the time of the incident.&nbsp;Following the collision, the chief engineer reportedly suffered further injuries due to damaged onboard fixtures and in a later incident, a lithium ECR battery explosion that occurred while docked in Miami. That explosion caused temporary hearing loss and smoke inhalation injuries, according to the complaint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254018/image/large-eca1e009c1b18a5b007e48c95e2e5d9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254018">Deckhand&nbsp;The third plaintiff, a deckhand, was working in the yacht’s galley during the collision and was thrown backward into a wall.

Eighth Mulder ThirtySix yacht Project Unity on sea trials 

CONCEPTHULL Yacht Design has released the renderings and details of Minion, a 27-metre motor yacht concept described as "bold, pure and go-anywhere” by the designer. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357552/image/large-0591625105377eec6564fec4637ee4a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357552">Displaying an upright silhouette and sturdy hull, Minion draws inspiration from robust explorer yachts that can withstand tough weather conditions in remote destinations. Part of what makes the yacht’s exterior profile so unique is the pairing of her short overall length and wide eight-metre beam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357558/image/large-e20583abf8a9b1ec586d4491333ef314.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357558">“The original concept stands for 'Less is More', the idea being to create a clever overall layout for a smaller size vessel with more of the features,” CONCEPTHULL Yacht Design explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357555/image/large-074e9b8874dadb4e11d48124d1d0dd8b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357555">Furthermore, Minion’s hull smoothly marries metal surfaces with glasswork, as the main deck glazing blends into the hull for a sleek, strong finish, while the wheelhouse protrudes above. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357556/image/large-1bb300eb6b889afd1010745e52360795.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357556">Inside, the motor yacht’s master suite can be found deep inside the vertical bow, and is decked out in large, tinted windows for owners to take in far-reaching vistas of the surrounding environment. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357554/image/large-969a122e5c4afc495d573cf7ac7c9125.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357554">“Purity as a key design approach is clearly reflected in the sculpture and forms of Minion,” CONCEPTHULL continued. This design philosophy is exemplified in the inclusion of skylight see-through circular potholes that allow guests to enjoy either natural daylight or starry night skies. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357557/image/large-379523fc473dac29516f57539183c15a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357557">On deck, Minion’s outdoor living spaces are optimised for unwinding and a close relationship with the seascape. The main deck aft contains a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads and an outdoor dining arrangement in the shade. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357553/image/large-1fde1ffcd180df730c4f1fa6b85c949f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357553">Additional alfresco entertainment can also be found on the deck above, which is home to geometric, yellow and white sofas, arm chairs and loungers for those onboard to catch some rays in the presence of sea views.

Following its successful debut in 2024, SuperYacht Times is proud to host the second edition of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit - 2025 - 2nd Edition">Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit (APSS)</a>, taking place on 7–8 May 2025 at the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel in Hong Kong – one of Asia’s most prominent yachting capitals.In preparation for this event, our Research Analyst, Adil Zaman, along with our Head of Intelligence, Ralph Dazert, conducted an in-depth analysis of regional superyacht movements and ownership trends. The findings are featured in the upcoming Asia-Pacific Superyacht Report 2025, set to launch during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit - 2025 - 2nd Edition">APSS</a>. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357511/image/large-32971015d79041e1ec72d2e13e30718b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357511">How many superyachts are there in Asia?Over the past few years, SuperYacht Times has refined its yacht tracking capabilities using the Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracking signals that yachts emit, now covering more than 76% of all operating superyachts over 30 metres. For this report, AIS data was further enhanced by crosschecking the yachts transmitting on AIS against all yachts that are known to be in the area according to our records, providing one of the most comprehensive and accurate views to date of superyacht activity in the Asia-Pacific region.Missing vessels and their likely locations were incorporated into the dataset, ensuring maximum reliability of our analysis.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357507/image/large-e2d53a664142bb0230e77c8d9a77a598.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357507">Yachts in Asia-Pacific: larger than averageFrom January to December 2024, we recorded 530 unique superyachts active in the region – either permanently based there or visiting during the year. Of these, 343 yachts were owned by Asia-Pacific nationals, while 187 were foreign-flagged.Only 12% of the fleet were sailing yachts – lower than the global average of 15% – and the overall fleet in the region trends slightly larger than the global norm. Just 59% of the fleet fell into the 30–40-metre category (vs. 63% globally), while more than 20% exceeded 50 metres, compared to 16% worldwide. Number of yachts in the region is increasing While we counted a total of 530 unique superyachts in the Asia-Pacific region over the past year, annual figures vary as yachts are added to the local fleet or visit from outside the region. That said, the upward trend is clear. In 2022, we recorded 372 unique yachts. In 2023, this rose to 445, a 20% increase. By 2024, the figure climbed to 530, representing a further 19% growth. If this trend continues, the number of superyachts operating in the region could exceed 600 by the end of 2025.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357508/image/large-aa8faedf4b62bc1d28c7b0846ecfe5ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357508">Where are the yachts based?The Asia-Pacific region spans a diverse and expansive maritime landscape, from established yachting hubs to fast-growing destinations. According to our latest tracking data, Australia continues to attract the highest number of superyachts, with over 140 active yachts recorded in the past year – a testament to its strong infrastructure and appeal for long-range cruising.Singapore remains a key stopover, serving as a vital transit and provisioning hub for yachts moving between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Southeast Asia continues to show strong cruising activity, with countries like Thailand and Malaysia each recording more than 70 superyachts. Hong Kong stands out as the traditional hub of yacht ownership and operations in South East Asia, while the Indian Ocean, particularly around the Maldives, remains a strategic waypoint for transiting yachts.A detailed breakdown of yacht activity by country – including year-on-year trends, fleet size, and ownership – is available exclusively in the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Report 2025.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357510/image/large-37a9028c04839d18e0712ba34ea79ec3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357510">Asia-Pacific Superyacht Report 2025 All of this, and much more, will be featured in the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Report 2025, published during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit - 2025 - 2nd Edition">Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit</a> in Hong Kong on 7–8 May 2025.
