Building 59m Akula: Rossinavi's first explorer superyacht

“We actually started in the maritime industry almost four decades ago, in 1980,” starts Federico Rossi, the charming, unconventional and entirely Italian COO of the Rossinavi shipyard as we sit in their modern meeting rooms in Viareggio. This may come as a surprise to those who were only made aware of the brand in 2007 when they emerged as builders of large, custom superyachts with the signing of two significant projects measuring an impressive 53 and 70-metres respectively.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/22685/image/large-4b9eaa55b3acca16c60565d22a695a61.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/22685">But even before diving into the deep end of custom superyacht construction under their own brand, the Rossi family had long been connected with the world of building big boats. Founded by brothers Claudio and Paride Rossi in the late 70s and beginning with the reparation of small fishing boats in the Viareggio region, their expertise in naval architecture and engineering soon developed and expanded their horizons. By 1992, the company employed 15 people and was building hulls and superstructures in steel and aluminium for major shipyards that have since become some of their main competitors. &nbsp; &nbsp;Comfortably growing over the next 15 years, it wasn’t until the Global Financial Crisis of 2007/8 hit that the yard - then named Cantiere Navale Fratelli Rossi - were forced to reassess their business model. Oddly enough, whilst some of their main clients were losing business building big boats, this is exactly where the Rossi family turned to save their own business. Rossi explains,&nbsp;“When the market asked for yachts, the historic shipyards were very well equipped to meet that demand. When the GFC hit, these yards were suddenly operating at half their normal production - some even going bankrupt. We were obliged to change our organisation as these yards were our clients: we were also losing business as the GFC took its toll. We already had the expertise in building boats, so this is the direction we took to cover our own operating costs and survive.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/22657/image/large-293ef5d1f0d8f6b4aaa69f93855e8777.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/22657">Of course, it wasn’t as easy as simply making the switch from subcontractor to fully fledged yacht builder. The first hurdle? Attracting a client to build a yacht with Rossinavi without any product to demonstrate their skills.&nbsp;“Believe me,” Rossi assures me,&nbsp;“This was an extremely difficult activity. You are approaching a client with just your promise, your history, and a brochure. We are forever grateful to the owners of our very first projects, the 53.2-metre&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2083" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rarity53.2m (174'6&quot;)">South</a>&nbsp;(now&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2083" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rarity53.2m (174'6&quot;)">Rarity</a>) which we delivered in the summer of 2008, and the 70-metre&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2550" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="High Power III70.0m (229'8&quot;)">Numptia</a>&nbsp;(now&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2550" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="High Power III70.0m (229'8&quot;)">High Power III</a>), delivered in 2011. Without their faith, we may not have made it.”Considering that projects of 53 and 70 metres are rather significant investments (even if the yard were charging an exceptionally competitive price that basically covered their own costs with no profit!), how did they manage to get those clients to sign on the dotted line? “Well, it came down to the deep knowledge and expertise of our company, our family, and especially my father and my uncle,” says Rossi. &nbsp;With the American owner of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2550" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="High Power III70.0m (229'8&quot;)">Numptia</a>, this knowledge and expertise was shared over a period of three intense months. His lawyers in the States were quick to warn against what they saw as a notable risk, and Rossi laughs as he remembers the struggle:&nbsp;“His lawyers advised him not to build with this yard because the downpayment for the yacht was basically the value of the shipyard at the time! But after three months of visiting the boats we had created for other shipyards, sitting in technical meetings with us, he soon understood that we have knowledge of our own - not knowledge that other shipyards had given us. We do not have a technical department: we are our technical department. And he understood we were capable of creating his custom dream.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/32486/image/large-f8ec6fce0ab70f99925295f9d59873ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/32486">And so <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2550" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="High Power III70.0m (229'8&quot;)">Numptia</a> was born - understandably an important milestone for the Rossinavi brand. &nbsp;Actually, the owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2550" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="High Power III70.0m (229'8&quot;)">Numptia</a> was not just an integral part of allowing Rossinavi to show the world what they were capable of, but he is also the very reason behind the name ‘Rossinavi’. “He told us he wants a brand on the side of his boat… Cantiere Navale Fratelli Rossi does not exactly roll off the tongue. And so we created Rossinavi! I still go to America and meet with him sometimes - he is a visionary man.” &nbsp;Since the delivery of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2083" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rarity53.2m (174'6&quot;)">South</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2550" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="High Power III70.0m (229'8&quot;)">Numptia</a>, the Rossinavi brand has gone from strength to strength, and clearly the risk their inaugural clients took paid off. The next few years saw multiple custom superyacht deliveries, just a handful including the 46.35m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3727" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="2 Ladies46.35m (152'1&quot;)">2 Ladies</a> in 2012, 48.31m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4299" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Param Jamuna IV48.31m (158'6&quot;)">Param Jamuna IV</a> in 2013, 48.29m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4756" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Polaris I48.29m (158'5&quot;)">Polaris I</a> in 2014, 38.55m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Taransay38.55m (126'6&quot;)">Taransay</a> in 2015, 49.9m<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5918" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Endeavour II 49.9m (163'9&quot;)">&nbsp;Endeavour II</a> and the 49m&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5953" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aurora49.0m (160'9&quot;)">Aurora</a> in 2017 and, just three days before our interview in early June, their most recent delivery: the 63m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)">Utopia IV.</a>The future looks to be just as busy for Rossinavi, with no less than three yachts currently under construction, each scheduled for completion in 2020. And now with a string of successful deliveries under their belt, Rossi tells me that the time has come for the brand to focus their efforts on a more concentrated endeavour: to crack the American market. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/26756/image/large-65e4c36ce875f83e0104b4dd2f65b937.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/26756">This is not as simple as merely attracting more American clients to the Italian brand, but is focused on offering something different to American clients to make that happen. That something will be to incorporate American components into their projects. Why? For easy maintenance State-side. “We want to follow the ideas of our American client,” Rossi says. “They have a lot of great components, for our boats for US clients (and standards) we are importing all technical elements directly. We don’t want them to have to go through a lengthy, expensive process when it comes to maintenance of their dream. That’s why we also set up a small office in Florida for after sales, and we include two years of warranty to all of our customers.” &nbsp;And now that the financial side of the business is healthy, will Rossinavi continue to offer only custom products? The answer from the ever-passionate Rossi was a resounding ‘yes’... Here, he explains why. &nbsp;From the very beginning, Rossinavi offered only custom projects. Why? &nbsp;Well, from a financial side, at the beginning it was necessary for us to keep our money in the bank and only begin with construction once we had sold the product. But more than that, I do not like trying to convince someone that they should buy a specific boat: our specific boat that we have created with no specific individual in mind. Our vision has always been to build dreams, to understand what a client wants to create. What will they be using the boat for? Where? What is the owner’s lifestyle like, what is his mood like? Does he want speed, or does he want a full displacement boat? That is how you build the best boat possible. It’s all about a perfect synthesis between brand and client. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/28810/image/large-4409d3c54214e53f2c1d8128aff82857.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/28810">The custom yacht market is a niche, competitive market. How do you differentiate yourself from your competitors?&nbsp;&nbsp;For us, it is clear. We are one of the only fully custom shipyards that do not combine custom superyacht building with other areas. A lot of yards have a strategy in place whereby they have custom yachts as their main business, but serial production in the background or a sector of their business focused on commercial vessels, with the management of a marina, or a refit facility. Our business is to produce only fully custom yachts. I think that is the best approach to luxury boats. &nbsp;What do people come to Rossinavi for? &nbsp;Our vision and our expertise in engineering. The difficult thing for us sometimes is that people do not always fully understand what a full custom boat is. For us, we develop concepts as proposals, which we use to start a discussion and to show what is possible with custom projects. With Pininfarina for example, we presented a really unique project, but we have four other concepts with Pininfarina too that remain entirely secretive. We also have another two new concepts with Team4Design, and we use these as a basis to start discussions. &nbsp;Define custom in your own words.&nbsp;Fully custom is when all the aspects of the boat are in accordance with itself. That means that every single component has been built specifically for that vessel. People may think that some components are the same from boat to boat… but they are not. We create every single piece for each individual project. With <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Taransay38.55m (126'6&quot;)">Taransay</a>, we bought a lot of bronze to create the machines so that everything looks the same. Every tiny aspect is completely unique.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/26747/image/large-662b2c3b7dfb2002ba448c1ab04a5719.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/26747"> What about yachts built on an existing platform but with totally unique interior and exterior design? &nbsp;If I build on a platform, then I am obliged to cater the layout to the platform. Then the yacht is not fully custom. When a client then wants a bigger beach club or anything else, you can either say yes or no. Generally, people say yes and sell the vessel. But then you must calibrate the yacht differently. The vessel is modified from the beginning. Our approach is different. We do not want to use the platform, because we study the layouts, we tank test for three or four months, especially for comfort. We are engineers at our core. We study every aspect, weight, distribution, the hull form. That, to me, is fully custom. &nbsp;Which of your projects has presented the biggest challenges? &nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Taransay38.55m (126'6&quot;)">Taransay.</a> That boat is just so different, and it was certainly a challenge, but a fantastic opportunity for us to show that we can realise any custom dream. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Taransay38.55m (126'6&quot;)">Taransay</a> is a very classically styled boat, and we did a lot of very deep research in order to fully comprehend the yachts of this era. In the past, we also rebuilt a traditional sailing yacht, which gave us a much broader understanding of these classic yachts. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/22649/image/large-71adf90ed419372da7d6eebcdecfde47.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/22649">You are one of the industry’s youngest leaders at just 39. Being a young industry leader has its advantages, but has this ever presented a challenge when dealing with clients? &nbsp;I am one of the youngest leaders, yes. I am happy now because when I was 30, people thought I was 45… now I am 39, they still think 45, so I am not ageing badly, at least! But we are a family business. The founders are in their 60s, and if it does so happen that there is a client who wants to speak to an older man, they can speak to my father. He is the CEO, responsible for the management of the company. Some clients, like the young owner of<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5953" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aurora49.0m (160'9&quot;)">&nbsp;Aurora</a>, would prefer to work with a younger guy. It varies, but together, we make the perfect team. &nbsp;How does the lack of definition of custom affect Rossinavi? &nbsp;The impact is the perception of the price. For a totally full custom product, the price is higher of course. It’s normal that clients compare prices from yard to yard, and we must justify why our product costs more.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title=""><img src="/uploads/store/photo/23641/image/large-5807815e2703721ae6618b7a54d59cdb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23641"></a> This article is featured in the latest edition of the SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription">Subscribe now</a> to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.

Insight: Rossinavi, the evolution of Italian subcontractors turned custom superyacht creators

The International Superyacht Society (ISS) announced the winners of the 2015 Design &amp; Leadership Awards yesterday at the 25th anniversary of ISS’s Awards Gala in Fort Lauderdale. In terms of the superyachts, award categories are separated into motor and sailing yachts in various size ranges, best interior design and best refit, in which six yachts were listed as winners with the 51.8 metre Elfje awarded two titles in the ceremony, including best interior.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156961/image/large-f088ba19c303a25b2bdb9cb136fa45bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156961">The 33.04 metre Win Win from Baltic was awarded best sailing yacht between 24 to 40 metres, whilst best sailing yacht of 40+ metres was awarded to Elfje, built by Royal Huisman.

ISS Design & Leadership Award winners

The 38.55 metre Taransay was present at the latest edition of the Monaco Yacht Show, where the SuperYacht Times team were invited on board and shown around. Built by the Italian shipyard Rossinavi and completed in summer of this year, she features both exterior and interior design by Studio Tassin Design.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156374/image/large-54c26014cfcc4e732876b7bf2f4f768f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156374">She is an impressive reproduction of a British vessel dating back to the early 20th century, and designers worked hard throughout her build and design to remain largely true to her original composition - substantially aided by data found on the yacht in the Aberdeen Museum in Scotland. Historically, in the 1930s, the original Taransay was utilised in the Second World War - as many vessels in this period were required - and was used as a fire engine vessel in the Royal Navy.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156375/image/large-b13145ae80f42bdfe65eb3df0b084b9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156375">Her interior design is of a timeless, luxurious style, featuring dark woods of rich brown, with cream and blue accessories and upholstery. Elegance exudes from the living areas on her main deck. The formal dining area is found forward, with a large table placed centrally in a dedicated dining room, creating a sense of exclusivity and cosy sophistication. The room is flanked by six windows, with a further two smaller windows forward, allowing guests to enjoy spectacular views and natural light whilst maintaining privacy.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156376/image/large-f46bfa720925933196a3e32f3b594d7e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156376">Leading from the dining area to the main salon through a chic corridor, the aft of the main deck is dedicated to a refined living space. Two large sofas as well as two comfortable armchairs surround a unique, vintage inspired large wooden chest, with a considerable rug covering the polished dark wooden floor. The design of all the upholstery certainly harks back to the original roots of Taransay, with a traditional tapestry design in autumnal shades of reds, browns, oranges and greens. Dominating the main salon at first glance, the bold tapestry prints give the lounge a unique and welcoming ambiance, creating the ideal area for relaxation and socialising.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156377/image/large-99ebf34fb55cf660bb5261009e83ba43.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156377">The main salon is connected to the main deck through a small door, leading directly onto a shaded dining area. Seating up to six guests comfortably, the outdoor table allows guests to enjoy the very best of al fresco dining whilst taking in the surrounding views. Several cushioned seating areas are also found on the main deck, with nautically themed blue and white striped upholstery.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156378/image/large-305ab7d7e54dbf597949d0d45fa79bb3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156378">The nautical theme is continued on the upper deck, where another, larger seating area is found under a canvas awning, all with the same design of navy blue and white striped cushions over a navy blue soft seat. Two low tables are located next to the seating areas. The whole area is also surrounded by translucent curtains that can be efficiently drawn - without the look of being cluttered - or can encompass the whole area, creating a cosy, private atmosphere day or night.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156379/image/large-07869a549439aa55befb04a21d9cf610.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156379">She accommodates up to ten guests on board over five luxurious cabins, as well a crew of seven. All accommodation is located on the lower deck, consisting of three twin cabins, a double cabin, and the expansive owner’s suite. All rooms continue the yachts classic interior design, with dark, rich woods used throughout, complementing the crisp white linen of the plush beds and a palette of blues.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156380/image/large-db3b9f3b0212b4b89cddb7edd4a1f884.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156380"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156381/image/large-11b22214d4818f0581aa74a08610089e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156381">To remain truthful to the original design, Rossinavi states that the aim was to have “no detail out of focus.” This posed some challenges, of course, with many materials or objects that were readily available in the 30s now difficult - or near impossible - to find. This didn’t phase the Rossinavi team, however, as they state, “If the material or the specific object is already on the market, that is all the better. If not, it is made at the Rossi's, who do not contemplate the nature of compromise when at stake there is the quality of tradition to be reflected in the sea.” All accessories on board, for example, have been constructed from Nibral, a material which does not exist on the market.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156382/image/large-fc3a9bee85ff77e515038d7f821e0304.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156382">Commenting on the use of Nibral on the vessel, Rossinavi explains, “Finding the correct balance to achieve the Nibral at the foundry was for the Taransay like having the best tailor-made historical costume, made with the rarest and richest fabrics, or even of brand new production. Modern ships’ traditional clothes, worked in polished stainless steel, were not suitable for the Taransay's historical-line-drawn aesthetics.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156383/image/large-d7701090d37c330e14f4a0a249e84b76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156383">Captain Santoro who was the Owner’s project manager throughout the build of Taransay comments on other deviations from the original design, including a modern update on the cranes on board. He says, “The superior deck originally held small cranes to lower and raise service boats, but thanks to one of Paride’s brilliant ideas, we have installed a hydraulic crane which can fold and disappear from sight when not in use, thus avoiding the ‘fist in the eye’ effect. In this way the elegant lines and yacht silhouette were not spoilt. The crane can handle a 5 metre plus tender, and at the same time the other small cranes have been kept, now used for the deck speakers and the superior deck’s lighting, and also to hold in place a large awning covering parts of the deck when this is open.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156384/image/large-5700ae9b68b7e25f17d17d2a154c2375.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156384">In regards to her performance, she is powered by twin Caterpillar C18 Acert engines, giving her a maximum speed of 14 knot and a cruising speed of 12 knots. She has a range of 3,500 nm at cruising speed.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/156385/image/large-0adaa8a97b5c3d610c1502a836665fb2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/156385">By Gemma Fottles

Superyacht of the Week : Rossinavi's 38.55m Taransay

Rossi Navi released the following video preview this week of the 38.55 metre Taransay, which was delivered to her owners earlier this summer. She is a reproduction of a classic yacht dating from the 1930s, and is described by the shipyard as ‘anciently new’. She features both interior and exterior design by Studio Tassin Design.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QW5fpFH7Hso" width="560"></iframe>Taransay will be exhibited at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show taking place at the end of the month.By Gemma Fottles

Rossi Navi preparing the launch of superyacht Taransay

The steel and aluminium 38.55 metre superyacht Taransay is nearing completion at the Rossi Navi shipyard in Italy. The yacht is a reproduction of a British model from the beginning of the 20th century, and has required a wide range of skills from the company’s team to successfully construct her in a similar and accurate fashion to that of over 100 years ago.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152799/image/large-d921f83559fbc78b5da6b01a43c3835b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152799">Differences between the original Taransay of the 1900s include a hull extension of approximately six metres, as well as a modernised layout complete with the latest technology. She accommodates up to ten guests over five luxurious cabins, as well as a crew of up to seven. One of the most unique aspects of the new Taransay is the aft upper deck crane. Hidden in a funnel, when required, the funnel will open and allow utilisation of the crane to lift the two tenders stored on board.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152800/image/large-66363ff8004f1b69d2f61a63b3d6194e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152800">Her naval architecture and exterior design has been undertaken in house by the Rossinavi team in collaboration with STB Italia, whilst her interior design is by Studio Tassin. She has a maximum speed of 14 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, with a range of 3,500 nm at a speed of 9-10 knots. She is scheduled to be launched on the 18th April from the shipyards facilities in Viareggio.By Gemma Fottles
