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">

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.

Jan-Eric Österlund has been an explorer at heart. With his previous yacht, Swedish Caprice, he sailed in most parts of the world, but he wanted a new yacht with which he could explore more adveturous places where normal yachts wouldn’t go. Planning of this new yacht started in 2000 and 5 years later the Vitters shipyard launched the stunning André Hoek designed Ketch Adèle. Last month Jan-Eric launched his beautiful book, Exploring with Adèle, and after the presentation we had the opportunity to talk to him about Adèle, the book and his voyages around the world. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124213/image/large-dabf3d5bbc2ab3b8740fec191883f64d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124213"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124214/image/large-e01e875755a7cdea3dbec6f8435467ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124214">SYT: Why building at Vitters? Financial reasons or workmanship or availability of building slots or other reasons? Jan-Eric: There were several reasons for building at Vitters. First of all their quality is second-to-none, when you see Adèle you know what I mean. But the timing was also right, because Vitters could build the yacht within my schedule. And another important reason was that I was very engaged in the project and Holland is reasonably close to where I live. I am sure there are a few other shipyards who could have build Adèle, but Vitters turned out to be a very good choice! SYT: Would you have considered building a motor yacht to go around the world? Jan-Eric: No I would never build a motor yacht, maybe a small boat to base at a vacation house and cruise around the Swedish Islands. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124215/image/large-5f57442c3acc042e6c201ab7ff4b1b12.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124215">SYT: How did you decide about André Hoek as designer? It was by far his biggest project at the time. What project of his caught your attention so that you decided to engage him for Adéle? Jan-Eric: That was easier, because I knew what kind of style of yacht I wanted and this was something André could create for me. This was for both André and myself an opportunity and it worked out very well. And as this was André’s largest project, he gave everything to succeed. SYT: In different interviews, you’ve recounted your fascination for classic designs such as the Prince of Wales’ Britannia and the German Emperor’s Meteor as well as the J-class yachts. But were there any modern day yachts that you used as an example for your design team? Jan-Eric: No not really. I do like the modern classics which were build by Royal Huisman, like Athena, Meotor and Borkumriff IV. Although they look appealing to me, they are not as fast as Adèle. Big motor sailors, like some of the earlier Perini Navi’s for example, are not very appealing to me, but that’s a matter of personal taste of course. SYT: Why a book on Adéle? Was it the intention to write a book from the start? Jan-Eric: I had a dream but I wasn’t sure I could write a book and that other people would like it. I was even a bit scared, it was a big undertaking. Was the story attractive, the photos good enough…. I had sent a few emails out to my friends with stories of our voyages and I got such a good response, that their support convinced me I could to write the book. However, it is the photography that really carries the book and it is through the photos that I tell most of the story. Because photos were going to be the main element in the book, I also asked Rick Tomlinson to join me on some of the voyages. Rick is responsible for around a quarter of the photos, especially those of Adèle, and many of them from helicopter or chaseboat. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124216/image/large-668b972b957aa2a837e7bc11b55f7b0a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124216">SYT: Was the complete trip around the world planned in advance? Was there a special reason for not visiting Asia or just no time? Jan-Eric: Several reasons. I have been there a lot before as I have an Asian wife. With my previous yacht I sailed in most places, but I didn’t visit the Arctics or Antarctica, because it’s more difficult to get there. I wanted to go around Cape Horn and rather then sailing the Indian Ocean, I wanted to visit the Falklands, South Georgia, Antarctica and Brazil. If time were no issue then I would have loved to spend more time in Asia as well. SYT: What was your time limit and how was it possible to sell Adèle so quickly and quietly after your world tour was finished? Jan-Eric: The limit was that my wife wanted a child. As she gets seasick easily, she didn’t want to be pregnant onboard the yacht. I didn’t marry to go sailing and leave my wife ashore, so we agreed on a timeframe to do this together. We were very lucky, because a gentleman called André Hoek and wanted to build an Adèle look-alike. When he heard he could buy Adèle after we completed our adventures he expressed an interest and we found we could easily agree on the terms. SYT: Have you been onboard all the time? Jan-Eric: Most of the time, but we spent both Christmases at home in Devon, England. Last Christmas the yacht was waiting for us in Ushuaia and the first Christmas the yacht was crossing the Atlantic. This was one of the very few parts of our sailings of which I wasn’t onboard. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124217/image/large-b9ca92ad1db7c9502976f90b39e3986a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124217"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124218/image/large-a06063df7047ebde616c9eb7789731dc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124218">SYT: What was the most memorable place you have visited during your journey around the world? Jan-Eric: Both Jennifer and I would say Antarctica. It was very beautiful with a lot of sunshine and the ice formations were fantastic. And the wildlife was far beyond what I could have dreamt of. It was very enjoyable both from the landscape and the wildlife perspective. SYT: Do you have any future yachting plans after the sale of Adèle? Jan-Eric: My wife instructed me to answer that question with “NO”! Over the next couple of years we will be land based with the baby. What I would consider is day sailing in the Swedish Archipelago, very different from Adèle. After that it’s another story…. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124219/image/large-2989cc3a0073562b30a4de07f7a24764.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124219">SYT: Is there anything that you would change on a next yacht? Jan-Eric: I would take away the spinnaker. We didn’t use it much and because we were on expedition it was very tough to handle and took up a lot of space. I would probably replace it with something like a code 0. Interior wise I would add a little more space in the crew area and to the stowage area. When you make such long voyages you need a big stock. I wouldn’t increase the space for owner or guests, because we live on deck most of the time anyway, when we are awake. I would also add more space to the laundry area, because we had a lot of clothes (20 people were living onboard) and the washing and drying machines were running almost all the time. I would also like a bigger stern anchor, but the two bow anchors were excellent. Otherwise I wouldn’t change much… She is a fabulous yacht and has performed very well. We sailed her the corresponding amount of one Atlantic crossing each month during the two years I had her and we had very few problems thanks to excellent design and craftsmanship and a very good Captain and crew. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124220/image/large-2ab2652896f4878541ea8e43e44c3915.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124220">Photos by Jan-Eric Österlund.The book of Jan-Eric Österlund, Exploring with Adèle is available for purchase through <a target="_blank" href="http://www.SuperyachtBooks.com">www.SuperyachtBooks.com</a> or <a href="http://www.superyachttimes.com/pages/contact/">contact us</a> to order your copy. <noscript></noscript>By Merijn de Waard

Interview with Jan-Eric Österlund – the (former) owner of Adèle

Having arrived at Royal Huisman’s refit division, Huisfit, in November last year, the 55 metre sailing ketch Adèle has spent the past seven months out of the water at the shipyard’s facility in Vollenhove. A skilled team worked closely with the yacht’s crew in not only restoring the 2005-built vessel to launch-day condition, but also prepare Adèle for an epic world voyage together with her adventurous owner.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/161174/image/large-e568596d14db33e1aea0d661c2981dcc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161174" class="legacy">Shortly after completing their extended refit hall, Adèle became the first yacht to make use of Royal Huisman’s upgraded facility. Just some of the completed works included an overhaul of propulsion, generators, thrusters and other on board systems, replacement of batteries as well as the upgrade and replacement of navigation and communication system electronics. Outside, Adèle is now fitted with a new teak deck and had certain parts of her capping rail replaced.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/161175/image/large-a6259112391de964976bdcea8a29fb13.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161175" class="legacy">Owner’s representative Andre Engblom gives an insight into the planning that goes into such an extensive refit project: “We started planning 18 months in advance. This pre-planning process was really important from the perspective of ensuring accurate project management to avoid conflict between the various trades. This in turn allows for seamless progression through the work list with optimal efficiency. The input of Project Manager Taco Zwarts leading up to the refit was invaluable, both technically and financially.”<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/161176/image/large-98f8fd921d794c45035c3b22f88ed0dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161176" class="legacy">Both Engblom and Zwarts’ involvement of the original build of the yacht at Vitters Shipyard in 2005 proved extremely useful during the recent refit project, and together with Huisfit’s expertise were able to assist in an on-time and budget delivery.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/161177/image/large-c29c9e31aad7dc1156ef6c5f642f63f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161177" class="legacy">Since departing the shipyard, Adèle has sailed to Norway and Svalbard after which she will head to Central America and navigate the Panama Canal to explore the Pacific Ocean.&nbsp;Photos by Priska van der Meulen
