Abeking & Rasmussen’s 78m Amaryllis leaving Falmouth

Abeking &amp; Rasmussen (A&amp;R) is one of the longest standing shipbuilders in the maritime industry, with almost 100 years of impressive history behind them. SYT met with CEO, Hans Schaedla, at their facilities in Lemwerder, who made it very clear that A&amp;R has come a long way since friends Henry Rasmussen and Georg Abeking turned their hands to boat building in Germany at the turn of the century.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162555/image/large-625f8089d0eda3d49a45c5bee40ac563.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162555">

In fact, the boat building story of Georg Abeking and Henry Rasmussen began long before their arrival in Germany, with Mr. Rasmussen already owning a shipyard in Denmark for many years. Scouring suitable locations for the upheaval of the business, A&amp;R stumbled across Lemwerder, an idyllic village with easy access to the North Sea, in 1907. “It’s maybe not such an attractive place anymore,” Schaedla laughs, “but it is still an excellent location to build yachts. We have no draft restriction here so we can build anything - even a sail boat upside down if we wanted to.”

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162556/image/large-f254683ea6ab444230dc7135cf9ac1c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162556">

Regardless of setting up in Germany together, Mr. Rasmussen was the real driving force behind the whole operation. With Mr. Abeking leaving the company just a few years after their relocation, Mr. Rasmussen delved into all aspects of building sailing yachts. Schaedla proudly elaborates: “He was involved with the German Shipbuilding Association and all of the sailing associations, studying the rules and formulas of how to make sailing boats faster… He could design, he could construct, and he could sail. Our history comes from these beautiful boats.”

 

The proudness Schaedla conveys when discussing the company’s history extends further than the obligatory brand pride that every CEO should endeavour to radiate. The shipyard has been a family business from the early days, and with Hans Schaedla being the great-grandson of a founding father of the yard, he certainly has a more invested personal interest in the background of the business than the average CEO.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162557/image/large-457945a09f9e334b5c866925a1ec8256.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162557">

Schaedla continues to intertwine the story of his great-grandfather with his own path into the yachting industry: “Mr. Rasmussen was at the helm of the yard from 1907 to 1958 when he died, and then my father from 1958 to 2011. I grew up in this shipyard. We would walk through the storage with the smell of mahogany and teak… it was fantastic. The real business side started for me when I studied naval architecture at 19. I finished, went over to Boston for three years and worked as a designer on smaller sailing boats like the Hinckleys and the Palmer Johnson motor sailers.”

 

In 1986 Schaedla returned to Lemwerder, where he quickly got stuck into some of the most challenging projects at A&amp;R. His very first undertaking as project manager was none other than the 35.8 metre Extra-Beat (now known as One Lilo) owned by Fiat President, Gianni Agnelli, a high performance German Frers designed sloop which, at the time of delivery, was regarded as one of the most spectacular - and largest - sailing yachts of the decade.

 

From specialising in sailing yachts, moving on to motor yachts, and working higher and higher up the superyacht size class range to be one the largest superyacht builders in the world, A&amp;R’s Lemwerder home base has adapted to it all from the very beginning. “In the beginning, our motor yachts like Zenobia were 57 metres… At the time you think these are big boats, of course, and they will not get bigger, but as we all know, they got bigger."

 

“Then we had the 78 metre class,” Schaedla continues, “which included Titan, Eminence and C² and then we moved into 82 or 85 metres. We were set up to do that at that time, the investment to change was not so dramatic. We expanded the sheds by 20 metres in length and the synchrolift, that is all okay, but then the next step came and we had to go even bigger.”

 

The next step Schaedla is referring to is their latest expansion of the yard. Extending one of their sheds from 60 to 120 metres was an extensive task, and came about as a direct response to a project they were presented with: a 98 metre motor yacht designed by Reymond Langton Design and scheduled for completion in 2017. Schaedla says, “We said we wanted to do this project and, somehow, show the world that we can do it… but we could only do it if we had the facility."

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162558/image/large-96d3e58f54196c35b6f18f015d09b82f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162558">

“There were a few proposals to do the project somewhere else and rent something. That didn’t make sense because we wanted to do the same thing in the future, too. So we decided to invest in the shipyard. The extension is already done and the project is inside the shed. We’ve been working on the project for the past 1.5 years as well as working on optimising the shipyard and organising for the future. While we are speaking about larger yachts that can be built by A&amp;R, we have also developed a clever layout for PYC yachts able to carry between 12 and 36 persons. A&amp;R should be a place to stop for every owner’s party interested in this size of yacht before making a final decision!”

 

A dedicated workforce of 440 - 80 of which are engineers - enables A&amp;R to prioritise expertise in their employees. Aside from the obvious benefits of having a content and knowledgeable A&amp;R family, this also means that innovation such as the aforementioned new PYC layout can come to the fore.

 

Coupled with the fact that they undertake boat building across a wide spectrum of the maritime industry (comprised of yachting, navy and commercial shipping), another unique innovation from A&amp;R includes vessels such as the 41 metre Silver Cloud, launched in 2008. Silver Cloud saw the company adopt their SWATH design which is commonly used on military and commercial ships on board a superyacht for the very first time. Aesthetically, Silver Cloud is by no means the prettiest yacht on the water… and in many ways, she doesn’t even actually look like a yacht at all. But that was never the point of the vessel, Schaedla tells us. With SWATH vessels offering an unparalleled level of stability, the project came about after her American owner requested a solution for his wife’s seasickness so they could finally tour the world together.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162559/image/large-ed578d2434bd06670e2130af7f0809a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162559">

So, problem solved for Silver Cloud’s owner? “He found it fantastic,” Schaedla tells us, “We went out on a similar boat here in the North Sea, his wife was with him and she felt great on it, so that’s why they decided to go for it. He made the world trip and there was no place that they didn’t go.” A success, indeed, which followed with the launching of a smaller, 25 metre version named Al Makher earlier this year.

 

With their latest superyacht offering - the 72.5 metre Espen Oeino designed Cloudbreak - delivered in early June, their newly extended shed full with a 98 metre project and several proposals floating around, A&amp;R are certainly putting their dedicated workforce and new facilities to work - with more on the horizon.

Abeking & Rasmussen: A lifetime in Lemwerder

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/162476/image/large-61cd4a8aec518bebe5feb96c0f31149d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/162476">

​Superyacht Eminence in Mallorca

Built as the first yacht in what would eventually become a line of four near identical sisterships, the 78-metre Eminence was launched at German shipyard Abeking &amp; Rasmussen in 2008. Commissioned by an experienced American yachtsman as Project Excellence IV, the yacht was sold during the construction phase to her current owner who christened her Eminence. The Raymond Langton Design studio is behind the yacht’s interior and exterior designs with naval architecture handled by Abeking &amp; Rasmussen’s in-house engineers. Eminence was followed by her three sisterships named C2 (2008), Titan (2010), and Amaryllis (2011) over the next three years. Here she is seen cruising off the beautiful west coast of the island of Mallorca this weekend.

Superyacht C2 off Santa Margherita, Italy

The 78.43 metre superyacht C2 was built by Abeking &amp; Rasmussen in 2008 as the successor to another superyacht by the same shipyard, the 57.30 metre Ultima III (now named Diamond A). Both the interiors and exteriors of C2 are designed by Reymond Langton Design. Following the launch of C2, Abeking &amp; Rasmussen built another three nearly identical yachts over the next three years, named Eminence, Titan and Amaryllis. During the Summer season C2 cruises the Mediterranean and can often be found around St Barths or other Caribbean islands during the winter months.

The 80m superyacht Titan in Kristiansand

The 80 metre superyacht Titan was delivered in late 2010 by the German shipyard Abeking &amp; Rasmussen. The interior of the yacht was designed by Reymond Langton and features custom made furniture pieces by Silverlining. The yacht is certified for 12 passengers and is fully equipped with all the tenders and toys you would expect. She features a state of the art AV system and cinema by Bond, and, apart from their different exterior paint finishes, shares a nearly identical Reymond Langton exterior with her sisterships C2 (2008), Eminence (2008) and Amaryllis (2011). Here she is seen in the Norwegian town of Kristiansand.

The 80m superyacht Titan in Kristiansand

As many yachts are still enjoying a busy cruising season in the Caribbean or elsewhere around the world, we take a look at some of the coolest yachts currently spending time in Mediterranean Sea. The mild winter conditions, excellent winter refit facilities, and convenience of a centrally located home port might just be some of the reasons why these yachts are currently spending time on this side of the Atlantic.

 

Luna

After recently completing a major refit period in Germany that lasted over 12 months, the mighty 115m superyacht Luna has made her way to the Mediterranean and is currently in Toulon, France.

Superyachts Just J’s &amp; Eminence in Plymouth

 

Seen here earlier this week are the two superyachts Just J’s and Eminence anchored side by side in Plymouth, UK. The 61 metre Just J’s was recently delivered to her American owners after having left Amsterdam just last week. The yacht was launched by Hakvoort towards the end of 2015 to a design by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design with naval architecture by Dania Yacht Design. Eminence, a 78 metre superyacht built in 2008 by German shipyard Abeking &amp; Rasmussen, recently left Germany following and intensive maintenance period at the yard. The yacht was designed by Reymond Langton Design, and is sister ship to her three younger sisters, C2, Titan, and Amaryllis.

 

The two yachts were seen arriving in Gibraltar together yesterday.

The 78 metre Eminence was originally built for an American owner as Excellence IV, however she was sold to her current owner before completion. Both the interior and exterior of Eminence were designed by Reymond Langton Design. The five deck yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure features an almost stern wide transom hatch with two of the well proven tender launching systems developed by A&amp;R which allows for smooth launching and recovering even when under way. The draft of Eminence has been reduced to 3.2m allowing access to shallow anchorages especially in the Bahamas. Propelled by two 1492 kW Caterpillars speed will be 16.5 knots. The yacht is built according to Lloyds Register of Shipping and MCA. She is seen here in Gibraltar earlier this week. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141117/image/large-d0c8d43ea211f4775a077d7de57c3520.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141117"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141118/image/large-a89363bce0c53a542f2231d222d5d982.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141118"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141119/image/large-6962e9bb4fe59162fe1daa176c666ac2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141119"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141120/image/large-ce09c72180d65e038c56fd1112167ff2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141120"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141121/image/large-ea3c095652797294350d446008d9e8d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141121">By Maarten Janssen, photo by Giovanni Romero / <a href="http://www.SuperYachtPhoto.com">www.SuperYachtPhoto.com</a>

Abeking & Rasmussen's Eminence in the Caribbean

In 2005 Abeking &amp; Rasmussen, the famous German shipyard located on the banks of the river Weser, contracted it’s largest yacht ever, the 78.43 meter hull 6478. Ordered by the US owner of the 57m Abeking Excellence III, the project was named Excellence IV. However in 2007, while in the final months of completion, her owner sold the yacht and last Tuesday she was launched as Eminence. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124303/image/large-0408584fe0489d6b579c0926a5acb360.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124303">The Exterior as well as interior has been designed by Reymond &amp; Langton Design with the naval architecture in the hands of the A&amp;R in house engineering department. The five deck yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure features an almost stern wide transom hatch with two of the well proven tender launching systems developed by A&amp;R which allows for smooth launching and recovering even when under way. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124304/image/large-90629daa4d6374a80a8a349daffb23a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124304">The draft of Eminence has been reduced to 3.2m allowing access to shallow anchorages especially in the Bahamas. Propelled by two 1492 kW Caterpillars speed will be 16.5 knots. The yacht is built according to Lloyds Register of Shipping and MCA. By Merijn de Waard
