Hoek Design in the Netherlands has announced the launch of Firefly the first in an exciting new series of F-class one designs. Combining the spirit of the J-class with the performance of a maxi racer, the design brief for these race classics called for the smallest sized vessel that could beat a J on the water in both light and heavy winds. Firefly will make her racing debut at the Superyacht Cup in Palma (June 23-26) and negotiations are under way for two sister vessels. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135352/image/large-f7f116b3f3e2822c77ec5fa3b80fcb6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135352"><a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3677">Firefly</a> is the result of a long research project that saw the Hoek Design office develop fifteen different yachts with varying length, beam and displacement, sail area and draft. The vision of the owner of the first yacht was also instrumental in the development process. Once the optimum size for competing against the Js was established, Firefly was then constructed to the highest quality standards in the Netherlands. The hull was built by Bloemsma Aluminiumbouw, a yard that has already built four J-class hulls, and Firefly was completed by Claasen Shipyards, most recently responsible for the J-class yacht <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2079">Lionheart</a>. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135353/image/large-7a0c1d4bd39255d96560beb2a56e2dbf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135353">With long overhangs and sleek lines, Firefly’s exterior styling is similar to Js such as Svea. A sweeping sheer with a flush deck and moderate deck camber echoes the look of yachts that were developed in the early 1930s. Below the waterline, however, she is more comparable to a modern maxi racer with a high aspect ratio, T-style fin keel with a lead bulb. The combination of a 5.2 m draft with a 3D-tonne lead bulb and carbon high aspect ratio spade rudder is exceptionally powerful. Nonetheless, Firefly can be effortlessly steered with two fingers. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135354/image/large-a892fe3157066067004559e8bcba0700.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135354"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135355/image/large-45025fbcb5ee51ab0cb66b47447fe28c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135355"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135356/image/large-bb04016421f65f0194a700298e206691.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135356">The deck layout is comparable to a modern maxi with a large open cockpit and separate cockpit for the helmsman. On deck and in the interior, the yacht is developed as a pure sailing machine with a minimalist interior with pipe cots forward of the mast, a stall shower and separate toilet, locker space for all the crew, a small galley and a navigation table. The inside of the hull is coated with a new insulation paint system called Mascoat T and DB. The hull is lined with red cedar planks spaced one inch apart with red cedar floors, aluminium striping and composite grating. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135357/image/large-647c92f312e9c457ed0ef665fa1c5bc3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135357"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135358/image/large-c8f2066368928dcd8fb26e6577be3c90.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135358">Firefly’s technical systems are very advanced. The main engine is a Steyr 6-cylinder driving a folding propeller and IFG generator, while a 4-cylinder Steyr engine drives an IFG generator and hydraulic pump. All sailing systems are hydraulic with Harken winches and Lewmar deck gear. A water ballast system is built for long distance races, with five tonnes of water that can be transferred from one side to the other within two minutes. Firefly is fitted with a fixed keel, although class rules also allow for yachts with a lifting keel. Designs are made in such a way that the stability and performance are identical with either option. An F-class Association has been set up and a dedicated website is being created for the class.Hoek Design Naval Architects +31299372853 <a href="mailto:info@hoekdesign.com?subject=S/Y%20Firefly%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@hoekdesign.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hoekdesign.com/">www.hoekdesign.com</a> Claasen Jachtbouw +31 75 6281904 <a href="mailto:info@claasenjachtbouw.nl?subject=S/Y%20Firefly%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@claasenjachtbouw.nl</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.claasenjachtbouw.nl">www.claasenjachtbouw.nl</a>

Showcasing a four stateroom layout, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885 model can accommodate up to eight guests onboard, with space for a crew of four.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294226/image/large-a8c09a5e0e146a93b2aaa6f021a6e7fe.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294226">Commenting on the collaboration, Newey stated that working closely with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> Project Manager Matthew Townsend allowed him to “exercise his engineering brain” to form design solutions to personalise the yacht. Alterations have included some re-designing of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885’s interior living space to meet his requirements. In addition, a folding leaf into the aft swim platform has been added, enhancing the exterior space for alfresco dining.<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/887318824?share=copy" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>Regarding performance, Newey was interested in moving to a more natural method of transport which drew him to the “purity of sailing”. Keen to operate a vessel that minimises generator use, Newey harnessed his design and motor racing experience to create a hard top bimini. This design feature retains the wind efficiency of the sailing yacht and features solar panels. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294233/image/large-8fa98d3fee5b7a905504e334f2fa9401.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294233">Widely regarded as one of the most successful engineers in Formula One, Newey reflected on the yacht design process: “We are tailoring an existing design, but it’s for a very different outcome,” he stated. “The beauty about motor racing is that there’s only two things that count – how quick it is and whether it’s reliable or not. Building a live-aboard sailing yacht is much more subjective in terms of the overall pleasure versus performance and usability.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294221/image/large-93eb417aba0daec603b23c56b4c96b48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294221">The handover of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885 is due to take place in 2024, “seeing the splash after she emerges from the build shed will be a big landmark. It’s all personal and that’s the great thing about building a boat from new,” commented Newey. Adrian Newey’s documentary marking this new-build entitled “Building My <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a>” is set to be released in late January 2024.&nbsp;

Swerving pirates, the real threat to offshore masterpieces, can be as simple as a lack of crew training, a flying champagne cork, or sailing unchartered waters. As the value of these floating galleries is often equated to that of the yacht itself, the intricacies surrounding how to understand, transport, store, and preserve art onboard are broadening. With specialist tax lawyers to educational programmes for staff onboard, owners have many resources for logistical and practical solutions to ensure a secure floating gallery.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> Digital Editor Emma Becque spoke with experts about how best to safeguard precious gallery-worthy content onboard superyachts.Art appreciation and training<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artonsuperyachts (Company)">ArtOnSuperyachts</a>, founded by Oxford-educated art historian Pandora Mather-Lees, provides training and consultancy services for managing and preserving art collections on international yachts. After working at Hedley's Group, a fine art shipper, Pandora gained an intricate insight into the world of superyachts and the lack of training for those onboard handling the art in yachting.

It exemplifies how the crew are eager to learn more about various art collections they are surrounded with." The modules take an in-depth approach with graduates understanding the pieces and also able to clarify the difference between abstract and figurative. "This module is essential when you have some of the world's most valuable collections onboard. When explaining the collections, the crew can delve deeper with guests, making this training beneficial for the crew and the owners.”The 12-module training, available both online and in-person, is designed for those interested in enhancing their careers and knowledge in handling valuable objects at home, institutions, or on superyachts. This training is vital for interior crew, captains, yacht management, shipyards, designers, training companies, and marine project managers to avoid serious financial repercussions.Other training modules by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artonsuperyachts (Company)">ArtOnSuperyachts</a> include:Art Appreciation: Enhancing crew understanding of the value and significance of onboard art, fostering better relationships with owners and yacht management.Care &amp; Conservation: Addressing the challenges of handling fine and decorative arts on vessels, focusing on climate control, placement, and maintenance.Legal Export Risks: Highlighting the importance of understanding regulations governing cultural objects for captains, yacht management, and senior interior crew.The online training offers four levels, ranging from Art Appreciation to Art Due Diligence, while the classroom program covers a wide range of topics over one or two days, including art history, insurance, and understanding the art market. Additionally, private lectures focus on cultural heritage in maritime environments, catering to select groups and directly teaching yacht crews.Commission rather than collect&nbsp;An alternative to an art collection is to commission and curate your works of art, moulded explicitly to meet the function and form of the yacht itself.

One of the standout features of this project was a remarkable 5-metre-long curved wall in the owner’s suite is adorned with pure gold leaf. This wall created a captivating focal point within the space. The inspiration for this feature wall stemmed from the client’s interest in Mount Fuji. We incorporated shades of gold leaf to bring depth and dimension to the design, capturing the essence of the owner’s passion. Considering the yacht’s purpose as a charter vessel and its availability for sale, the aesthetic was intentionally kept neutral, ensuring it would appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. Our goal was to harmonise the art with the interior design scheme, seamlessly blending it into the ambience of the yacht.This gold leaf wall stands as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the ability to create a bespoke art piece that aligns perfectly with the owner’s vision and the overall design concept. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7277" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artelier (Company)">Artelier</a> is evolving rapidly, with Knowles noting recent trends when observing how owners opt for “sustainable choices; while not necessarily new in the art world, artists have been incorporating recycled materials and traditional craftsmanship for years.

Bellieni notes how “In my experience, the most commonly underestimated aspects at the time of purchasing artworks, which may lead to unintentional loss of value, avoidable costs, or damage, include”:&nbsp;<ul><li>The tax aspects are linked to legal classification, where digital artworks or modern pieces may not be classified as art, sometimes more aptly classified as furnishings.</li><li>In customs, incorrect classification can result in tariffs or border rejections. The importance of declaring the origin and value of the artwork for tax and customs is incredibly challenging with international artists and works without a clear market price.&nbsp;</li><li>The connection between the artwork and the geographical mobility of the yacht can complicate tax events due to territorial taxation scopes and customs issues, including restrictions on paintings of national interest.</li><li>The necessity of legal assistance in obtaining proper insurance coverage.</li><li>Anti-Money Laundering (AML) considerations in the transfer of artworks.</li><li>The risk of an inadequately trained crew managing and maintaining artworks, particularly with innovative art mediums, could lead to a total loss of value not covered by insurance.</li></ul>To avoid mishaps in housing artworks on yachts, Bellieni suggests, “It's crucial to approach purchases and planning beyond financial and aesthetic considerations, incorporating legal, tax, insurance, and management aspects.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212321/image/large-170d0b1e08e46ab129f8e4df2c229f65.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212321">Equally, owners “should assemble a specialised team of experts tailored to their specific needs, focusing on the authenticity and legalities of the artwork's purchase and movement. This team must be chosen based on their education, skills, and experience, ensuring that all potential risks and complexities are addressed. This includes understanding the intricacies of tax laws and the dynamic nature of maritime transactions.” For Bellieni, “Pandora of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artonsuperyachts (Company)">ArtOnSuperyachts</a>&nbsp; plays a crucial role in this strategy, aiding in identifying and classifying artworks and providing essential support to the legal team in navigating uncertainties regarding the artworks' classification, origin, and value.”&nbsp;In line with this notion, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artonsuperyachts (Company)">ArtOnSuperyachts</a> offers comprehensive strategies incorporating legal, fiscal, customs, and technical aspects to preserve artwork value and ensure legal compliance.

Without a structured organisational tool, the likelihood of loss of information or mistakes in production is extremely high – leading to increased costs, reduced margins and protracted delays. Planstudio is able to streamline production times by over 50 percent, reduce costs and prevent waste, here is how:Born from PassionBorn to carpenter parents Alcide and Maria, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Planstudio (Company)">Planstudio</a> was founded partly on the passion for furniture making passed down from their mother and father, and partly to bring their experience of technology and efficiency to a highly time intensive and complex sector. Before founding the company, Massimo attended engineering school in Ancona, while working at an engineering firm in Pesaro as head of a technical department that was already working on Microstation as a flexible CAD solution customisable to the specific needs of companies in the 1990s. Roberta, however, was passionately involved in the industry of her region, developing 2D and 3D furniture designs, graphic representations, catalogues and technical manuals.Roberta recounts; “Since I was a child, I used to watch my father build furniture. I was intrigued and amazed by his great manual dexterity. How, with the manual machines of that time, he could always find new solutions in the construction of even complex shapes”.Renting a small workshop, they set about the task of automating some of the work of small carpentry businesses, using the limited tools at their disposal. At the time, most craftsmen drew their templates by hand from sketches, but increasing demand and mass production from global players such as China and America were putting pressure on the capabilities of independent craftsmen. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294961/image/large-14e4f63cbe0dcd392c4ad7d7450117f2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294961"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Planstudio (Company)">Planstudio</a> develops specific software and processes for the bespoke, nautical and contract furniture sector. Assisting craftsmen and artisans by providing the tools to facilitate the design and production of their work. Massimo explains, “We have developed solutions that create a working method made up of control, data traceability and centrality of information, uniting the entire supply chain. We are Innovation Managers, we have in-house teams of developers and researchers, teams of technicians for customer support and training on the use of our solutions, as well as teams of consultants who analyse processes and find solutions.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Planstudio (Company)">Planstudio</a> offered the possibility to streamline these processes using software and design tools and today these early ideas have evolved into what is now the company's flagship product, Progenio Maxx.&nbsp;Roberta adds, “We call ourselves “process surgeons”, and today we support companies in their digital innovation process thanks to our many years of experience in the field. We work with many companies, from small craftsmen to large industries, from design studios to construction sites.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294963/image/large-6a811c707a5a0084ad951cadd8a81de4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294963">Streamlined Production TimesThrough the development of an innovative methodology, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Planstudio (Company)">Planstudio</a> is able to streamline production times and help to ensure product delivery on or before deadlines. Their methodology encompasses all phases of the development of an order: from design to commissioning, right through to delivery.Able to save time over 50 percent through multilevel job order management, automatic coding generation and full integration with 3D geometries. This allows <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Planstudio (Company)">Planstudio</a> to define materials in the design phase, so that orders can be made, costs simulated, and quantities and weights calculated. This enables the client to anticipate future orders, which is fundamental to guarantee the highest quality, on-time delivery and increased margins. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294956/image/large-e218c367c862ec2e35021a36974b0d47.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294956">Roberta explains, “Managing continuous change requests without losing sight of data and information is fundamental to the success of the order. The solutions we have developed are based on the concept of dynamic information directly linked to the 3D object. As the 3D changes, everything is updated, from floor plans to individual details, from bills of materials to requirements lists.”Traceability is another fundamental factor, knowing in real time the identity of each part and the production phases and cycles associated with it is useful for optimising the process. Being able to access all the information associated with it makes it possible to increase product quality. In the assembly phase, having track of the identity of the furniture and its destination allows logistics to be defined precisely and on time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/281487/image/large-a7bf9725146d5944421218896df2f53a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/281487">PROGENIO MAXX<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Planstudio (Company)">Planstudio</a> announced the new version of Progenio MAXX in October 2019, creating the MAXX Ecosystem in 2023, the set of integrated desktop, web and mobile solutions required to manage the entire product lifecycle.
