Section 57C(1)(b) of the 2019 Regulations stipulates that any connection to Russia, regardless of its nature, can justify detention. Additionally, Section 57D(1)(a) granted Mr Shapps the authority to enforce this decision.Dalston Projects, along with Sergei Georgievich Naumenko and Prism Maritime Ltd, contested the detention of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phi58.5m (191'11&quot;)Royal Huisman2021">Phi</a>, arguing it was unlawful and violated their property rights under Article 1 of the First Protocol (A1P1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).In July 2023, High Court Judge Sir Ross Cranston determined that Shapps' decision to detain <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phi58.5m (191'11&quot;)Royal Huisman2021">Phi</a> was lawful. Judge Cranston concluded that, while the detention interfered with Naumenko's property rights under the European Convention on Human Rights, it did not constitute a violation. Instead, the decision to detain the yacht was deemed a legitimate action in the public interest.The yacht's owner has continued to emphasise that he is not listed on the sanctioned registers of the UK, EU, or USA. Despite the detention, he continues to use his other vessels and has shouldered the ongoing maintenance costs for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phi58.5m (191'11&quot;)Royal Huisman2021">Phi</a> during her stay in the UK. He also argues that he has no connection with Putin’s regime. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343143/image/large-3f4859376673f5e992d42dde759ed3fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343143">Court hearings for her releaseIn 2024, Dalston Projects challenged the July 2023 decision in the Court of Appeals between 17 and 19 January. The Court assessed whether the detention was a proportionate interference with the appellants' property rights under A1P1.&nbsp;The appellants contended that public statements made by the Secretary of State, suggesting the yacht's owner had close ties to President Putin, were incorrect and influenced the detention decision. The Court acknowledged these statements were inaccurate, but found they did not impact the legality of the detention.Ultimately, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the lawfulness of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phi58.5m (191'11&quot;)Royal Huisman2021">Phi</a>'s detention under the sanctions regime.

The SP92 model will be exhibited by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> at the upcoming <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boot Düsseldorf - 2025">boot Düsseldorf</a> show kicking off on 18 January.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344451/image/large-1b26ba0d8ab192a92cb32104c35565b6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344451">First announced during 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>, the Sanlorenzo SP92 yacht model follows in the footsteps of her larger Smart Performance predecessor – &nbsp;the SP110 – presented two years prior. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344470/image/large-fc1a11f2269a40f4055d25722d6bd35a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344470"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344474/image/large-c16e24de03e19cba69e22acf34b200ea.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344474">The model is the fruit of a collaboration between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project</a> for her exterior design, while architect Piero Lissoni created her interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344453/image/large-29808d22a2111a588ed8bd4b860b30d4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344453">“SP92 reaffirms our commitment to strengthening our research in the segment of high - performance, sporty boats, which has been highly rewarding for us, as evidenced by the prestigious Compasso d'Oro 2024 award that SP110 received from ADI, the Association for Industrial Design,” commented Tilli Antonelli, Head of Development and Product of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>’s SP line.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344463/image/large-fb4027db02b4c05287cbf1b03b89e030.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344463"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344472/image/large-db9790301f00ccd7b2dc524a3091909b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344472">Defined by minimalistic and clean lines, the SP92 displays a condensed size compared to the SP110, but also maintains the same sense of balance and athleticism. The newest edition similarly provides a total of 4,000 horsepower with waterjet propulsion, while offering owners the possibility of a customisable layout. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344455/image/large-990f00395be500970b3c855f9025ea1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344455"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344477/image/large-4b7867bf5b2cafe11bb3d299961854f8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344477">“Consistent with the concept underlying the Smart Performance line, SP92 combines the characteristics of a performant yacht with unprecedented livability of both interior and exterior spaces. This model also highlights <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s ongoing commitment to sustainability, one of the key growth drivers we have identified to solidify our leadership in the industry,” Antonelli continued. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344463/image/large-fb4027db02b4c05287cbf1b03b89e030.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344463">One of the SP92 yacht’s most standout elements is her aft section, comprising a beach area of nearly 45-square-metres. This area’s retractable door hides the garage, which has the capacity to house a tender at a maximum length of 3.95-metres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344452/image/large-80e3edb5eec6a2b53459cf498215332b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344452">The SP92 yacht’s deck is nearer to the water for a synthesis between guests and the outdoors, whereas her superstructure has been configured for the installation of solar panels. Moreover, the yacht’s antennas have been placed in a concealed location in order to support the panels' efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344469/image/large-b57a606b1ae10c7a65a37acd7943cdbd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344469">“SP92 represents a crucial strategic step in bringing the vision of the Smart Performance range to life. The boat confirms all the aspects that have already been highlighted aesthetically in the SP110 - minimalism and clean lines aiming for a formal synthesis,” explained Bernardo Zuccon of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344456/image/large-4eb63681d1fa1a4c1603f089f93de4c1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344456">The superstructure’s expansive perimeter windows are developed with a special laminated glass composition that shields those on the inside from UV rays. In addition, the large aft window provides access to the yacht’s interior living spaces, which span across four decks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344465/image/large-59692ef4d01a7a80e25ed65b32dcfbdd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344465">“The only distinguishing feature is the stylistic element that defines the SP's design language: the copper-colored blade that runs along the upper edge of the superstructure, characteristic of the range, is more extended in the SP92, adding further sportiness and balance to the boat. This stylistic feature serves as the most distinctive hallmark of the entire SP fleet, infusing it with energy and a strong identity,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon</a> added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344458/image/large-b729f2295dc64a272a7979c5f8fc400d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344458">The motor yacht’s first level is home to a lounge that can be furnished in several different ways, while the deck above contains the central living space flanked by large windows, one of which is sliding for outdoor access.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344467/image/large-2d3a4522c7034f1216edfaaf7fe864bb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344467"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344471/image/large-f6f5c9beb81eb90b9009b38063a2e582.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344471">Moving to the deck above, a short corridor paves the way to the guest accommodation, consisting of a full-beam owner’s suite at the bow, and two twin guest staterooms aft on either side, each with an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344468/image/large-a434f1e6e6804f7e1e186e10fca05c23.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344468"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344460/image/large-ee3835e5963224575dff152d5a261f38.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344460">When following the same corridor towards the stern, guests are met with a fourth level, which can be arranged into a playroom, cinema or another stateroom. In both variants, the space includes an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344461/image/large-91105e2b77eacbd6d1e2a596c94071e0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344461">“SP92 is a floating piece of architecture with very well - balanced dimensions . It’s like a beautiful motor boat stretching over 90 feet and has the same drivability and speed as a motorboat but with the livability and architecture of a large yacht. SP92 is a cross between a large motorboat and a vast beach. There are spaces that combine, with double height areas, connections between the deck, – which is at water level – and the rooms, as the interior blends with the exterior and vice versa,” enthused Piero Lissoni of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/78" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lissoni & Partners (Company)">Lissoni &amp; Partners / Studio Lissoni</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344462/image/large-b911b41fd3230ff0fc2ba80b5008c70b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344462">Performance-wise, the SP92 yacht is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines that propel her to a cruising speed of 35 knots and a top speed of 40 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344450/image/large-6a4069ed3491c00e4199d16e52b89927.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344450">Furthermore, the Italian shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> has addressed the notion of sustainability in their approach to constructing the new SP92 yacht model, stating, “The unique hull geometries allow the optimisation of the resistance coefficient at commonly used speeds, thereby minimising fuel consumption.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344459/image/large-0ffc3b6f95167ad01e0921f05a4b23a9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344459">“For the photovoltaic system on the superstructure, a new ultra-high-efficiency monocrystalline cell was used, providing an average of about 3 Kilowatt peak per hour, which is stored in the service battery pack, ensuring all hotellerie functions are maintained while anchored. All this allows the SP92 to consume about 12-13 percent less at cruising speed than the same boat built with conventional production processes and traditional materials. The overall result is a ‘Smart Performance’ yacht that, as much as possible, guarantees environmental protection,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> concluded. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344454/image/large-bbf11a096ab2d26f396c58ffd385d321.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344454">
