Today, I contacted superyacht designer Igor Lobanov, to hear about the developments on the 110-meter yacht project at Oceanco shipyard, the largest yacht under construction in The Netherlands. Unfortunately, that project is strictly confidential, and the designer was not able to comment on this particular project. He was however able to talk about his other project, the project he describes as his dream: the sail yacht concept Phoenicia.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148755/image/large-2caf9d59af78d5a29427039ca079a523.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148755">Recent adjustments to his original, innovative design concept, include changes to the beam, the number of masts and the Venetian blinds. Commenting on the changes made to the design, Lobanov stated: "Our friends from Dykstra gave a hand on sails arrangement and checked some key parameters of naval architecture. We also decided that the beam had to be changed slightly, and the number of masts was changed from 3 to 4.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148756/image/large-4d21dd2a637d033d6b397e0d0810a13b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148756"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148757/image/large-e9f56ccea1f898dcc6266bd38b24cf57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148757"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148758/image/large-d9253b8e441fd52608db00298e8e3a85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148758">Other proposals include automated Venetian blinds, programmed for a wide number of different scenarios. The blinds can be closed as a gradient from the bow to the aft of the yacht, from the top to the bottom, or opened irregularly so that the sun light plays inside the yacht’s interior.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148759/image/large-6152cd9b89a93f41dba995c58b54d2c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148759"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148760/image/large-94348c00dac9eb48abfca376ff2da4ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148760">This concept amalgamates various historical influences with a new modern design. The model explores a 100+ meter superyacht with generous open deck space, particularly aft of the yacht including a helipad; a feature which is usually seen on large motor yachts rather than a sailing yacht. Another key element of this model is an all surrounding open deck arranged as a gallery with a pattern design as a feature.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148761/image/large-64cce58b33cd9b2736387114af7d3ab5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148761"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148762/image/large-d595332f7b3bb882df25fb509c961ff2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148762"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148763/image/large-8c44024c752703f5e2c71eb72837cf4e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148763">The concept design has a very unconventional bow, which has a hint of ancient Mediterranean influence. This design gives the feeling of 2000 years of history of an ancient royal ship, appropriately linking to the ancient Mediterranean connotations of the boats name concept, ‘Phoenicia’.By Maarten Janssen

Yacht design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7141" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turbulence Design (Company)">Turbulence Design</a> has unveiled renderings for a new 75-metre superyacht concept, Lang-Ching or 朗清舸. According to the Germany/China-based studio Lang-Ching is a bold combination of traditional Chinese aesthetics and modern yacht design ideas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269238/image/large-28e699dd7fb4cbf7e582fd30c8d39b59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269238">“The name Lang-Ching, Chinese written as 朗清舸, comes from a piece of well-known Chinese calligraphy work Lantingji Xu (兰亭集序/"Orchid Pavilion Preface"), which was written in the fourth century AD about a elegant party with celebrities. The word of the name refers to an ideal cosy state of clear weather and smooth wind,” explained designer Chong Wu. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269234/image/large-6255436f84a73074fd71b980199033e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269234"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269237/image/large-8459f433b656a985cd21448a7cc9b4db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269237"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269250/image/large-264c54fdacb3c8b0463e68c487eab2bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269250">Lang-Ching provides her owner with spacious and transparent spaces for entertaining and relaxing onboard. The inspiration behind her design comes from the architecture and landscape of Chinese gardens and the belief of Taoism where humans and animals should live in balance in the universe. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269239/image/large-9b25bf7462ce12844314ee525170fd98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269239"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269240/image/large-db363695a27f8db2c222a0cd1767854b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269240"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269241/image/large-dfcb6b9fc0e621251f531c2194463250.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269241">The design of Lang-Ching is inspired by the elements which make up a Chinese garden such as a pavilion, teahouse, flowing water, folding screens, potted plants and window grilles. These are combined to create a transparent and exotic space which elevates the oriental and natural lifestyle.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269242/image/large-46fd6b7ca034768cb76c7d9939396aad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269242"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269243/image/large-bad501c4028f8f01f90f7b4a33226095.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269246/image/large-b97594d958d9f579642b6e921dba9b48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269246"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269252/image/large-f12025fc3aace17694d990a00cfabb59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269252">Lang-Ching is able to accommodate up to 12 guests across seven staterooms, with her owner’s suite complete with a stylish office and a bathroom designed in exotic Chinese style.

There is the opportunity to lounge at her pool, or get in a workout at her gym, as well as relaxing in her spacious beach club area. Guests can make use of her large tender and toy garage and there is even the option to land and store a helicopter, with a dedicated hangar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265336/image/large-1de014551e24c171e36348efb417b848.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265336">“We might be biassed, but we think she turned out rather sexy!” concluded Christian Leyk. “It would be up to her future owner whether or not to add a matching tender, but something featuring polished aluminium and rivets and a repurposed aircraft engine would certainly look great alongside her!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265331/image/large-eec01816324c40cffc1c330691f659d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265331">
