Netherlands-based yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> has announced two new orders for a 34-metre yacht, Project 111.11 and a 35.29-metre yacht, Project Samba. The two new projects are based on the hull design of the multi-award winning yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LL34.0m (111'7&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2021">Lady Lene</a> and are being custom-designed to meet the needs of the clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272384/image/large-3f79af43b9989549f108404a8d5cf2f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272384">Both Project 111.11 and Project Samba will share the same naval architecture and degree of finish and will each feature a different exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a>.

It’s a lifestyle choice and they enjoy the process of developing their perfect yacht as much as they do the ultimate end result.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272374/image/large-b0499096416fbff7deba8cff0e21906d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272374">Project 111.11 showcases expansive windows and an arch rising diagonally from the main deck to the hard top, in a single straight line. The explorer yacht features an asymmetrical semi-full-beam skylounge and a sidewalk from the bridge to aft deck to avoid crew going through the lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272375/image/large-5054ab223a1708f935a8b1efe955df97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272375">Her full-beam master suite is situated on the main deck and includes a large walk-in wardrobe with a chute that leads directly to the laundry station on the lower deck. Further guest accommodations onboard Project 111.11 include two large VIP suites and two twins on the lower deck, all with ensuite bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272373/image/large-0a723fa5f5fdebd848006b13cb7e8361.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272373">Project Samba is characterised by her large aft deck, which includes a relaxation area with a large aft-facing sofa and a formal alfresco dining table. Her central staircase with a single large column from the lower to bridge deck also serves as a piece of art and optimises freedom of movement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272383/image/large-41426e105b5224f565132e67249fe5c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272383">Like Project 111.11, Project Samba features a full-beam master suite on the main deck, with two VIP suites and two spacious twins on the lower deck.

In contrast, Project Samba’s fast displacement hull and twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> 1450 horsepower diesel engines will ensure top speeds around the 17 knot mark.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272376/image/large-b3991fe8b271d0adac814c64856000fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272376">“Using the engineering packages and part of the cutting files generates significant cost synergies yet allows for an entirely different look and feel. It’s a highly efficient way of building that provides clients with exceptional freedom to customise their yacht above the waterline. Everything you see on the renderings for Project 111.11 and Project Samba has been chosen by the owners as they implement their own style and make a statement of personal taste,” concluded Yoeri Bijker.

Electric catamaran yacht Silent 80 Tri-Deck sold

Silent Yachts has sold three units of its electric catamaran yacht Silent 80 Tri-Deck, an upgrade from the company’s previous flagship design.

Solar-electric Silent 80 Tri-Deck catamaran: Three units sold

The creator of the first solar-electric catamarans, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">Silent Yachts</a>, has sold four Silent 80 yachts. Previously named Silent 79, the first Silent 80 yacht was sold to her South African owner, Neil Murray, and is now under construction in Ancona, Italy with delivery planned for early 2020. Three more units have also been sold and will be delivered later in 2020.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/65680/image/large-dc16dbb2c6ccb5fd9dd80f0df3c4cef3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/65680">“To me, this yacht is a great synthesis of form and function,” said Neil Murray. “My intent is to promote the concept of solar yachting and I want people to see elegance in the concept, not just practicality.”Through the use of silent electric propulsion, the Silent 80 has unlimited range without noise or fumes and minimal vibration. 70 solar panels, electric motors and lithium batteries used by Tesla have been put together thanks to the interior and exterior designs of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali of Too Design</a> and Amedeo Migali of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5288" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MICAD (Company)">MICAD</a> for the naval architecture.&nbsp;“Solar power is about square meters, so we need to dedicate as much surface to the solar panels as possible while keeping the overall balance in shape. What I tried to achieve is an interesting Italian design, sophisticated and refined. This is a nice-looking yacht that meets efficiency,” said designer Marco Casali.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/65679/image/large-1e5a17fcea81cd7bf5939981b952926c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/65679">With straight lines and huge windows and the addition of the solar panels and flybridge, the Silent 80 features a sporty exterior. Up to eight guests can enjoy large outdoor spaces such as the forward sofa and sunpads, whereas indoors the layout benefits from the lack of engine room and is fully customisable. The layout can be adapted to fit a 60-square-metre saloon, galley, lounge, dining area and up to six guest cabins. “The first unit, which is under construction now, has a balanced four cabin layout with two real owner cabins”,&nbsp;explains Marco Casali.&nbsp;“The aft master suite has a huge room, a study, a walk around closet and even a sauna.”&nbsp;“There is enough space for a 4.5-metre long tender, an amphibious car and a gyrocopter on floats, which is quite impressive for a yacht under 24m long”, comments Michael Köhler.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/65678/image/large-aad16702282cb3d67ba6460abc55a8ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/65678">The new yacht is built using vacuum-bagged resin and can reach a top speed of up to 18 knots. At 7 knots, the Silent 80 can travel in complete silence and at a range of 100 nm per day.&nbsp;

 Silent Yachts has sold four Silent 80 units and are now under construction in with delivery planned for early 2020.
