First Amels 80 superyacht arrives in the Netherlands for outfitting

Chief Technical Officer at Formula One’s Red Bull Racing team, Adrian Newey OBE has chosen to partner with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yachts</a> to build his new sailing yacht. The Formula One legend has hopes of sailing the world with a new-build <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885 yacht model.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294220/image/large-b5e7bbdfef37bf62a371d2c01fb6f637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294220">The 27.4-metre sailing yacht is currently in-build at the shipyard’s Southampton-based headquarters. The sailing yacht's interior derived from the drawing boards of her UK-based builder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</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;

In 2020, the family-run engineering firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a> changed hands for the first time in its 60-year history when American businessman Chris Bizzio took over the helm. Based in Pistoia, Tuscany, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a> is a key supplier of steel carpentry and engineering to the yachting industry. We caught up with Chris to find out how he has navigated taking over a well-respected Italian firm, tripled the company’s turnover and reinvigorated production workflow.&nbsp;What motivated you to take over&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a>&nbsp;in 2020 in your first experience of the superyacht sector?I worked for over 25 years in both the consulting and fashion business, but always as a director or CEO. Other than having been on a yacht, I knew very little about the superyacht sector. At around 50 years old I told myself I should try the entrepreneurial side of working as both my grandparents were entrepreneurs and my father had his own business. A lawyer friend of mine told me that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a> was looking to sell. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a> had a generational issue as the children already had their own career paths and none of them wanted to work in the company, so it was destined to be shut down. Fortunately, I was able to step in. I found a company rich in craftsmanship, know-how, and much goodwill in the industry. I was able to use my experience acquired in areas such as supply chain and business development. Since I joined the company our sales have grown three-fold. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295945/image/large-2c6001f6c4ae804b12aa122692b22fe1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295945">How have you navigated the changing landscape in the sector, particularly with Italian shipyards buying up key suppliers?Our strategy is to focus more towards handmade custom products. The expertise we have in matching metal carpentry with electronics or hydraulics and giving the customer a turnkey solution is almost unmatched in the industry. We strive to develop unique solutions that best answer our customers’ needs. I see that shipyards are taking over key suppliers, but after a while these suppliers stop innovating because they are absorbed by the “system”. We are free to explore different aspects of our business and to find out-of-the-box solutions. Some may think the share of the pie is getting smaller, but when you’re able to find bespoke solutions for your customers, you have a new market open to you.&nbsp;How have you adapted to the cultural and business differences as an American owner taking over an Italian company?Well, let’s say it’s like “rigour meets creativity”. Obviously, my background brings to the table rigour, processes, budgets, P&amp;L, cost controls etc. but then I must match this with Italian design, creativity, craftsmanship, unstoppable searching for solutions, and the ability to develop different paths to the same result. As an American I view things as the glass being “half full”, while some Italians often take the “glass half empty” perspective. I try to navigate between these two assessments. It’s not always easy and certainly challenging. To change a company culture like that of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a>, which has been around for over 60 years, is not something you do overnight, in fact my approach is to demonstrate with facts that sometimes there are better ways of doing things. Italians are not afraid to express their emotions, even at work. And meetings can sometimes appear to turn into heated debates. It’s important to consider this as constructive conflict that will help everyone work more effectively and build stronger relationships of trust.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295944/image/large-275eaad79fbf191b1124a30c290ac7b2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295944">Are there any specific strategies you want to implement to ensure the company's survival and growth?I think for us the path is to give the customer custom turnkey solutions. Our products are made by hand unlike our competitors, most of whom use machines. This way of working adds to production times, but the result is a higher quality and higher functioning products. Today’s shipyards are pushing the development and innovation to their suppliers, and we need to meet that challenge. In <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomelli</a> since I took over, we have invested over €900,000 in innovation, but we also have to offer shipyards new or pioneering products that can involve a mix of materials to solve, for instance, an issue of weight. My plan is to grow – in sales, in efficiency and in the goodwill our customers have towards us.&nbsp;Are there any steps you have taken to strengthen and secure the supply chain for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomeli</a>'s operations?One area we are working on is to give our suppliers access to immediate payments, so by working with us we can address immediately the issue of giving the supplier the necessary working capital to fulfill our orders. &nbsp;In essence we work as a bank for our suppliers. &nbsp;Another area is visibility. We try to give our suppliers visibility in the mid-term, the so-called “demand forecasting”, so that they see and understand what is ahead for them in the future. The third area is lifetime value. If you are a supplier and work with us, over time your lifetime value will grow as our relationship continues as we like to build on our relationships over a long period. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295946/image/large-5fbd2c3349d9f4d1ab09904a50efd24d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295946">Are there any plans to diversify&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7419" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Iacomelli (Company)">Iacomeli</a>'s client base or expand into new markets?&nbsp;I would love to grow internationally, especially in northern Europe, but unfortunately Italian companies don’t have a great reputation in an international field. Sure, there are some great Italian companies, and our design and creativity are outstanding, but if you dig a little deeper, issues such as reliability, deliveries, willingness to serve the customer, language, all come into play, so I get a lot of push-back from international customers as they are reluctant to partner with us. It's difficult to change this mindset but I won’t give up trying. &nbsp;Regarding our expansion strategy I would love to branch out in the superyacht sector. Today we develop doors, pantograph doors, sliding doors, mooring doors, tender garage doors, stern platform doors, etc. I need to see where I can diversify, but always within our sphere of legitimacy.&nbsp;This article was originally published in Issue 3 of How To Build It, you can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-3" target="_blank">download the magazine for free here</a>.
