We have also realised after two years of research, that to appeal to the Barnes International clients, we need to offer them something different, something unique that specifically appeals to them. These yachts have been designed for both yachting and real estate clients and we have invested a huge amount of time into understanding what these clients demand from the yachting experience."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331553/image/large-55d727d30974f9c0fb473a57ed02e2db.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331553">Top features of the 52-metre yacht include her six stateroom layout for the accommodations of as many as 12 guests, a 4,000 nautical mile range and her steel and aluminium construction.

We have also been able to establish a production line with the shipyard, meaning that our clients won't have to wait four-five years for their vessel, as you would at an Italian or Northern European shipyard today. Both of the yachts are 52-metres, under 500 GT, which I think is the current sweet spot for the market and we aim to begin metal cutting at the end of this year, with the first yacht exhibited at the Monaco Yacht Show 2027.

Notably, the structural grid has reduced production time slightly and cut energy consumption by a quarter, while reducing waste volume by up to three-quarters.”In line with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a>’s commitment to sustainability, hybrid or fully electric drive options are available for this series.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329094/image/large-4ef8011cd8df6715b475fcb7478453a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329094" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> Exploring hybrid and fully electric drive optionsMichael Schutte reveals the latest advancements in drive technology for superyacht tenders. In collaboration with Torqeedo, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a> has developed a fully electric version of its Silverline open tender, showcased at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. Schutte notes that while electric drives offer a zero-emission alternative, they come with a weight penalty and limited autonomy, similar to current electric cars. Nonetheless, they meet many mission needs and represent a significant step toward sustainability.Looking ahead, Schutte and his team are focusing on a fuel cell system to overcome the limitations of fully electric drives. “Small fuel cells are now being used in vehicles with specific mission profiles,” he explains. “We are working on a zero-emission hybrid system that could address the current range limitations of electric drives.” The anticipated fuel cell technology could revolutionise the practicality of electric tenders, potentially making them a viable option for more large yacht owners in the near future.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250090/image/large-f485eacb75c6691ffa5255347b2349e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250090">When discussing the benefits of hybrid versus fully electric drives, Schutte highlights the trade-offs. “The primary challenge with fully electric propulsion is weight and limited range due to battery storage capacity,” he says. In contrast, hybrid systems mitigate some of these issues by combining electric and internal combustion engines, reducing range anxiety. However, hybrids also introduce additional weight and complexity, including these associated with onboard charging systems. “While hybrid systems offer zero-emission operation in sensitive areas, the balance of risk and reward still leans towards the risk side due to these factors,” Schutte concludes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329290/image/large-e76ab14c9380d7c998fa69f16ba6469c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329290">Integrating natural and innovative materialsMichael Schutte discusses the company's approach to integrating natural and innovative materials into their tender designs. While the team experimented with flax fibre cloths and bio-resins for laminating parts, they found that the additional weight required to match traditional strength led them to reconsider this practice. “Though we studied laminating with these materials, the weight penalty for equivalent strength has dissuaded us from making it standard,” Schutte explains.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327714/image/large-ccb57d627e75c82bd62a71fb97ef1cc4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327714">Despite these challenges, the company has successfully adopted alternative decking materials to replace scarce genuine teak. Schutte notes, “We have tested various alternative decking materials with positive customer feedback.” They are now exploring a super-light insulating foam from the aerospace industry, which Schutte believes could significantly reduce thermal gain and weight in engine spaces.Bio fabrics and resins are currently sourced from smaller manufacturers, but Schutte is optimistic that growing industry interest will improve their reliability and consistency.

Renaming her Cleopatra’s Barge II, he painted her black with a white boot-top and a gilded stripe, inspired by the original Cleopatra’s Barge of 1816, which was owned by his family and reportedly “America’s first yacht.”&nbsp;Francis and his wife, Louise Evelina duPont Crowninshield, sailed aboard Cleopatra’s Barge II&nbsp;until 1942 when she was acquired by the US Navy for coastal patrol during the war. After the war, Francis refused to reclaim her, believing she had been ruined by naval operations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332326/image/large-6d7422a3cf76d092c5882e7ff839f0c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332326">Passing through several owners, the schooner was listed as Gee Gee III in 1946, according to a supplement to the 1939 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyd's Register</a> of Yachts UK.

Janeen was eventually sold in 1975 to Carlo Monzino, a great art lover, who renamed her Kebyar and owned her until 1979. The boat reached Monaco in the autumn, where she underwent another quick refit that was to last till summer 1976.In 1979, Italian publisher and film producer Alberto Rizzoli purchased and renamed the yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1190" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mariette 42.06m (137'12&quot;)Herreshoff1916">Mariette</a> again.
