Naval Architect Sam Stevens, from BMT Nigel Gee Ltd, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd the leading international maritime design, engineering and risk management consultancy recently undertook one of the biggest engineering challenges of his career to date. Sam was part of a team of four competing in the Sky1 premiere of Safebreakers, a brand new series produced by Maverick TV, hosted by Ben Shephard. Sam and his team were tasked with building an amphibious car from scratch, with a budget of £1000. After just two days designing and building the special machine, his team, The CADS, went head to head with fellow engineering enthusiasts to battle it out for the top prize of £5,000, secured in a safe in a seemingly inaccessible location. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136171/image/large-16c714d30396095aee0987c8bcaae16e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136171">This fast paced, engaging series encourages mind power and problem solving. Each week two teams must construct their own vehicles, from fire engines and bulldozers to cranes and tanks, in a mechanical challenge that will push them to their limits. To win the money, the teams must collect the numbers needed to crack the code on the safe with speed and agility, which is easier said than done. Sam Stevens explains: “Building a car in just two days was certainly no mean feat, but we were very proud of the end result. The most challenging aspect of the design was the compromise between the required performance on land and water, whilst adhering to the limited budget for parts and materials and the very short timescale in which to build the machine. All this required some innovative engineering!” Paolo Proto, Series Producer for Maverick TV comments: “Safebreakers is a rugged boy’s adventure, an entertainment show that celebrates the best of British innovation, ingenuity and engineering skill.” After graduating with an MEng (Hons) in Ship Science, Sam joined BMT Nigel Gee in 2006 and currently works in the structural department on a range of projects from Yacht designs to the new range of Windfarm Support Vessels being designed by BMT. Safebreakers begins on Sky1, Monday 15th August at 8pm. You can see Sam in action in next Monday’s programme. On the yachting front, BMT Nigel Gee will be exhibiting at the 21st Monaco Yacht Show in September within the Superyacht UK Pavilion, where they will be announcing several new projects.BMT Nigel Gee +44 2380 226655 <a href="mailto:enquiries@bmtyachts.com?subject=BMT%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">enquiries@bmtyachts.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bmtyachts.com/">www.bmtyachts.com</a>

Drawing inspiration from ‘Mother Nature’, the superyacht’s beach club sports coral motifs along with Zen undertones. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326047/image/large-fe1013cf73e53b81a3ec0c5603edd6bc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326047">This lazarette is decked out in a futuristic, floating staircase, as well as an expansive heated pool. In addition to her mosaic pool, Fú boasts a bespoke outdoor shower integrated into her structure for guests to take in the surrounding scenery as they rinse off. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326046/image/large-fdaded265cb1d35dfe2899690d613738.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326046"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326039/image/large-acc83d677c6a3848f48f14a59658bb84.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326039">Fú’s exterior design strives to maximise the sea views by stripping her profile of the usual structures present in a superyacht of her size. Instead, the midship structural support reflects a Japanese Ukiyo-e style, with wooden cut panel inserts and hidden storage allowing for practicality alongside aesthetic harmony.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326041/image/large-a7dae750dab084b4175c48c4e73988c3.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326041"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326031/image/large-bf558886b5ab1d37377f0d40765cefee.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326031">Moreover, the vessel’s minimalistic main deck includes lounging and dining arrangements flanked by boundless views. As for the main deck aft, a skylight embedded in the ceiling of this section bathes the social hub in an abundance of natural light.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326040/image/large-0ae6f211ff400186d3627570c8996037.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326040"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326038/image/large-2146caf32bb347cba74fe33248c86c2b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326038"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326028/image/large-361b79586f01dbf586d51c3e27370a74.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326028">Fú’s bow area is inspired by the rich cruising grounds of the Greek islands, which allowed for a serene, white, glassy area dedicated to peace and serenity”, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7845" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fancy by Dada (Company)">Studio Fancy by Dada</a> explains. The bridge deck aft area showcases three interactive lounges, two of which are triple sided, with a bar aft of the saloon paving the way for social events.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326050/image/large-60455cfe7ff080f28d98d8854f31837e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326050">Moving indoors, the main deck saloon onboard Fú centres around a pale-coloured, sunk-in seating area and mini atriums. Staying true to the yacht’s thematic minimalism, the saloon is free of the usual storage units, which are instead positioned in the foyer. Meanwhile, the foyer sports artistic flairs, such as wooden panels laser cut in the style of French post-impressionist Paul Cézanne’s widely recognised landscape painting. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326051/image/large-2cece0ba3ba2c9bd09ed38fa09a066db.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326051"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326048/image/large-02bf0486efcf2a60164dc06d2b111f84.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326048">Accommodation-wise, Fú’s lofty master suite is home to a strikingly large, 3.5-metre by 2.5-metre family-sized bed suitable for co-sleeping.

The superyacht concept aims to combine the “precision and strength” exhibited by industrial forms with “sleek, dynamic lines typical of modern yacht design”, for both a practical and “bold” effect, the designer adds. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/324335/image/large-7ee17903882969202d0641f43c28bb72.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/324335">“It’s about capturing the essence of mechanical beauty and translating it into a fluid, sophisticated maritime experience,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7425" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vento Yachts (Company)">Vento Yachts</a> explains. In addition, the vessel’s exterior silhouette displays striking, geometric shapes, as well as streamlined contours, all of which contribute to the illusion that she is in motion even when stationary. Among V135 X-PLR’s most noteworthy amenities are her bow awning design, which serves as an optimal sightseeing spot, and the cinema room, which is optimised for cosy yet lavish movie nights. While at sea, those onboard are still able to enter productive periods of concentration, thanks to the presence of dedicated, ergonomically developed office areas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/324334/image/large-2387cc0712d09d211d2054cfcd7f9ec0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/324334">V135 X-PLR also boasts a roomy master suite flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows that provide 270-degree views of the surrounding maritime environment. Moving outdoors, guests can take advantage of the versatile beach club leading directly to the water, or V135 X-PLR’s fully-equipped gym.&nbsp;Regarding her performance, V135 X-PLR is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> engines that propel her to a top speed of 14 knots at half load displacement, as well as a cruising speed of 12 knots. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/324333/image/large-a24ff4447781fc4ad5f03f74cabd813b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/324333">

Similarly, a one-way glass effect is implemented on the aft bulwarks to maximise the view out to sea from the deck space and provide privacy to guests. Her 9,300 GT features generously sized guest suites which can accommodate up to 36 guests, with most staterooms including floor-to-ceiling windows to produce spectacular views and allow the light to play an effect on her interior decor. <img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/320222/image/large-bb079e8810b02b0b3346cbb13eec289b.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20240724%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20240724T134427Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=9220fb2cd5a8e7d9660563b319c29dd10d66dd8e97cf8b39005097fd5072421b" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320222">Her exterior deck space provides an interesting new outlook which sees each deck having a unique use. For instance the lower deck is designed for ocean-activities, with a beach club, dedicated sports lounge, spa and yoga rooms. In contrast, the upper deck is where the nightlife will take place. Home to a Piano Lounge and a 180-square metre nightclub, the guests will be able to enjoy every aspect of the holiday without needing to go ashore. Whilst Revival has a distinct difference between areas, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5109" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isaac Burrough Design (Company)">Burrough</a> ensures the layout is seamlessly transitionable for both guests and crew. She is the epitome of luxury leisure boasting two outdoor dining areas across different decks, as well as sofas and sunpads to sit back and take in the warmth. If the heat gets too much, guests can take a dip in the pool on the main deck or refresh themselves amongst the bubbles of the Jacuzzi on the sun deck. <img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/320224/image/large-0748c888a66d1120a075882759408404.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20240724%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20240724T134427Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=a3d049f3cbcc9f37edd388a3c20fc3d318947521a3c54ace09fc36d9354aa6ad" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320224">According to designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5109" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isaac Burrough Design (Company)">Isaac Burrough</a>, Revival prides herself on not only being forward-thinking in design but also in technology. This is demonstrated by a single-tier engine room which is optimised for the next generation in hybrid propulsion systems. This will enable the yacht to successfully adapt and take onboard new advancements in technology and allow her to safely navigate through sensitive environments using electric-only mode.<img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/320223/image/large-d932c7caa81fd2da134a766369fe6256.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20240724%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20240724T134427Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=621a7f1840f79385517792fd0f603aed4793422d39e45310110eaed284df2fe1" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320223">
