M/Y CRN Saramour 61m wins at The World Superyacht Awards

13 May 2015 – CRN, the ship builder specialising in the construction of 50 to 90 metre steel and aluminium pleasure vessels, received another international recognition, for one of its latest megayachts, at the World Superyacht Awards in Amsterdam, the prestigious event organised by the editorial group Boat International Media.

During the exclusive gala evening, held at the iconic Renaissance-style Westergasfbariek industrial complex, situated in an impressive park near Amsterdam, M/Y CRN Saramour 61m was assigned the highly sought-after ‘Judges Commendation’, reserved for displacement motor yachts having a gross tonnage between 500 and 1,300 GT. The award was collected by Luca Boldrini, CRN’s Sales & Marketing Director, together with Roberta Sabatini, CRN’s Image & Communication Manager, and Architect Francesco Paszkowski,who designed the exteriors and the internal fit-out, in front of an audience of ship owners and first-class representatives of the world’s megayacht industry.

After their victory last year with 80m flagship ‘Chopi Chopi’, the Ancona shipyard is for the second year running the winners of the special award assigned to megayachts that have stood out at an international level for their interior and exterior designs. Saramour conquered the votes of the expert panel thanks to an aesthetical language focused on achieving an overall unity of shapes, as conceived by Francesco Paszkowski Design in cooperation with CRN – a design solution chosen to set off the precious art collection that adorns the yacht, transforming her into a true and proper floating ‘art gallery’.

Lamberto Tacoli, CRN’s Chairman and CEO, commented: “Winning another award at such an important and exclusive event fills us with pride for the work that is done with so much passion and unique competencies by the entire Company. It is therefore an honour for us to receive this recognition, which pays tribute to the Italian making and design of this timeless craft, and we wish to share it with the Owner Company, with Architect Francesco Paszkowski – with whom, starting with Saramour, we have now begun a successful cooperation – and with all the craftsmen that have contributed to the creation of this vessel”.

IP.YD Unveil 120m Superyacht Design

Measuring 120m with a 20m maximum beam, the V120 is not only the latest superyacht concept to emerge from the IP.YD Design Studio but a new dynamic and futuristic concept.

This superyacht keeps an exclusive style that allows fluidity throughout the whole vessel. The fluidity can be defined by a principal curve on the superstructure that the rest of the lines follow with continuity. The entire composition revolves around the principal curve which resembles a V shape and strengthens the stability of her form.

The drive was to create areas of relaxation which work in harmony of the environment around the guests and owners. One dominant line runs throughout the innovative design which will use high standard materials throughout.

The 120m interior will reflect the design of the exterior and be able to accommodate up to 30 passengers through four doubles and ten VIP cabins on the main and upper decks as well as the two separate suites on the owner’s deck that include office, dressing room and lounge, always providing intimacy and aesthetic features that contribute to the ideal spaces for the travelers.

V120

GREECE, Athens. At 120m LOA with a maximum beam of 20m, V120 comes from the drawing board of Athens-based studio IP.YD. Yacht designer, Ira Petromanolaki explains how the studio attempted to create a futuristic design.

The exterior styling of the yacht creates fluidity throughout the vessel. This fluidity is defined by the inverted V-shaped curve to the superstructure, which forms the foundation of the exterior profile. The whole composition revolves around this shape, with a dominant black line forming the base. The curves meet at the centre of this baseline and give the impression that the V shape supports the entire superstructure. The design of the V120 aims to create areas that are harmonious with the environment and in accordance with the needs of the client. Luxurious comfort is guaranteed thanks to the high standard of materials to be used throughout the yacht.

The interior arrangement attempts to ensure privacy as much as possible. The main deck and decks above are dedicated to the owner and guests. The main salon and dining area on the upper deck are joined by a grand stairway and a glass elevator. The entire space has been designed with extensive glass windows, creating continuity between the interior and exterior.

Some of the entertainment areas are located on the lower deck to provide more immediate access to the water. The yacht includes a helipad, a swimming pool aft and a beach club, spa area and gym.

The steel, aluminium and carbon structure will be able to accommodate 30 guests across four double and 10 VIP cabins on the main and upper decks, with two separate suites on the owner’s deck. This level also includes an office, dressing room and lounge.

Lürssen project Orchid completes sea trials!

14^thto 16^th July 2015

Project Orchid has successfully concluded her sea trials in the Baltic Sea under perfect weather conditions. Her final delivery is planned for late summer 2015.

Both Exterior and Interior design are by Reymond Langton Design.
The Exterior of Project Orchid is designed around creating a harmonious balance. From a distance, the sweeping curves and elegant proportions give the vessel feminine beauty and elegance and allow the strong, masculine details to emerge; sharp lines define the strong, sculptured surfaces that have been carefully styled to create a sharp contrast with highlights and shadows that lend the superstructure a unique form that subtly changes in different lights as the sun moves across the sky.
The balance and proportion of the yacht’s profile also allows for generous exterior decks that offer range of options for guests to enjoy, from sun-drenched, open entertainment areas to more sheltered, intimate formal spaces.
The crew is now working closely over the final months before delivery with the Yacht Management and Project Coordination teams at Y.CO, who coordinated the build throughout, to prepare the yacht for operational use.

Project Orchid will be privately used and will head to Norway for her maiden voyage and for a crew training trip. From there she will make her way from Europe across the Atlantic to enjoy the sun for the winter season between Florida, the Bahamas and The Eastern Caribbean islands.

Sunrise 45m Atomic

The Sunrise 45m Atomic is a timeless yacht concepts last forever: Five years after delivering M/Y “Africa”, Sunrise Yachts launched a sister ship in August in Antalya started as “Project Sunset – Hull 182”. The yacht’s name “Atomic” remained confidential until its delivery to its North-American client as the yacht was a surprise to his family!

“Atomic” is a three-deck, deep-sea, full displacement, transatlantic, steel hull and aluminium superstructure luxury motor yacht, built to operate for private use or charter in all seas and oceans of the world.

The yacht’s main characteristics include large volumes at 499 Gross Tons, excellent deck heights, great stability, comfort and seaworthiness, very low levels of sound and vibration, an affective layout, and extreme fuel efficiency.

A full-length technical tunnel running from the engine room to the bow-thruster compartment – an unprecedented feature on yachts in this category until the launch of the first vessel in the series, M/Y “Africa” – provides easy access to tanks and systems at bilge deck level.

The interior design was entrusted to the talent of Nantes-based Franck Darnet Design, who had previously designed the interior for M/Y “Africa”. In sharp contrast with the first Sunrise 45m’s dark tropical woods, “Hull 182″‘s contemporary and elegant décor will feature light veneers and a bright colour scheme.

Following the yacht’s maiden cruise in Turkey and Greece last month, the owner stated: “I was thrilled to step aboard Atomic at the launch. As I walked around the yacht I found everything to be just as designed. The team at Sunrise have built me a master piece, perfect in fit and finish and crafted with a talent for detail. It was a pleasure working with the young company owners and team as they all wanted to go beyond the norm to create a wonderful yachting experience. I love the sturdy steel hull built to be a world wide capable yacht yet designed to be miserly on fuel. Atomic will be an awesome floating family home, a base for great adventure.”

Sunrise 50m

The Sunrise 50m reinvents the meaning of the word ‘luxury yacht’ and invites everyone on board to enjoy a full yachting experience: an innovative approach to the distribution of space and the allowance of natural light throughout the vessel, coupled to a timelessly elegant exterior. Owners and guests come closer to the sea and the sky thanks to full height windows, skylights and balconies extending out over the water to create spaces where boundaries disappear between the intimate luxury of the interiors and the vast comfortable outside decks.

The Sunrise 50m was designed in two audacious layouts, offering all cabins on the full beam main deck or a spectacular owner’s suite on the private upper deck, while allocating the entire lower deck to services and technical areas.

Two configurations are also available for the stern of the yacht: the comfortable pool offers plunging and swimming to adults and children – even a waterfall from the upper deck. The beach lounge alternative offers a relaxing area that allows guests to feel at one with the sea.

Ester III Interior Designer Statement Reymond Langton Design

Ester III represents a fully custom commission for an experienced client; the sleek, low volume 66m vessel that is laid out in a traditional arrangement that emphasises practical living spaces focussed on creating an intimate family home at sea.

The owner requested a French Classical theme for the interior, with a strong emphasis on the correct understanding of the inspiration and quality of details and references used to ensure an authentic contemporary interpretation of the style.

In order to achieve this level of authenticity, Reymond Langton Design sought collaboration with highly skilled and experienced artisans to develop and create the signature furnishings, textiles and artworks that are integrated into the overall architecture to create the desired elaborately
detailed yet warm and welcoming atmosphere of the interior.

At the heart of the yacht is the main stairwell, a grand statement that features a breath-taking hand-carved leather artwork by master craftsmen of specialist furniture manufacturers Silverlining the sweeps from the Lower deck guest accommodation to the Bridge deck lobby, where full-height windows allow natural light to filter through a skylight to the Main deck below. This spectacular feature defines the character of the boat; finely crafted elegance rich in detail and texture without compromise.

Each of the five guest cabins is individually tailored with a specific scheme, derived from bespoke fabric artworks that rise from the headboard and wrap onto the ceiling, framed with an intricately carved Avodire cornice featuring a roundel motif that is a unifying feature found throughout the yacht, along with embossed and gilded leather panels, and bronze accents.

The Main deck saloon is created from three distinct areas; the aft most lounge area extends through large sliding doors, which disappear completely into the superstructure, onto the exterior deck, creating an open, relaxed ambience. Moving forward is a more intimate central seating group nestled next to an ornate fireplace, then the dining area, enveloped in an Amboyna framed fabric artwork that again continues onto the ceiling creating a light, romantic atmosphere.

Forward on the Main deck is the Owner’s Suite; accessed through a private Study, the full beam Stateroom is an indulgent private retreat, with rich Avodire wood, gold leaf and bronze detailing complimenting thick silk carpets and furnished with ornately detailed classical furniture it is the ultimate expression of the luxuriant style that defines the yacht.

The full-beam Bridge deck Sky Lounge is a bright, open area that continues the theme of the Main Deck, connecting to the exterior with oversize windows and large sliding doors onto the aft deck, with intricately detailed styling cues that forms a warm, welcoming entertainment space.

Setting a different tone to the main accommodation, the Lower Deck Spa is dedicated to creating a relaxed, calming ambience with an Assyrian influenced design, but with the richly textured attention to detail and artistic nature of the yacht as a whole, with ornate mosaic inlays and a
dramatic full-sized wall relief carved in stone in the Gym.
