Cramm Yachting Systems in the Netherlands, market leader in the design, development and construction of hydraulic equipment for superyachts, recently appointed a new operations manager. Since joining the company, John Oost has worked on streamlining processes and enhancing time discipline, financial planning and project management. This is another step in the Dutch equipment manufacturer’s ongoing strategy to strengthen its position in the global market.
With the appointment of John Oost as operations manager, Cramm Yachting Systems is looking forward to new accomplishments in 2016 and beyond. With experience gained principally from production platforms, Mr Oost is well-versed in planning, lean manufacturing and other management techniques, and will help optimise time and fund management.
Cramm is currently working on a variety of projects, running the full gamut from fully custom to series production. “Our quality is evidenced by the calibre of our customers, who are largely world-class shipyards,” explains sales manager Paul Boelens. “Right now we are in the process of building what may be the largest full custom crane for a superyacht. This serious piece of machinery will serve a large 15-tonne tender and we are in consultation with the client about the design as we speak.”
Sustained upswing
“The global market is in a sustained upswing at the moment, and we can tell that our customers’ order books are filling up,” Boelens continues. “Quality will remain our most important focus in the foreseeable future. However, at Cramm we take a holistic approach, thinking along with clients in order to find the perfect solution for every situation. This can involve various degrees of quality as well as customisation or cost cutting. An unbeatable combination for both standard and custom solutions, this approach has served everyone concerned well.”
Cramm Yachting Systems is increasingly playing the role of knowledge centre and problem solver among its customer base. “Yards who need new solutions can come to us and discuss the possibilities,” Boelens says. “We cover a broad range of products that includes passerelles, ladders, cranes, sliding beam cranes, doors and hydraulic power units. The fact that Cramm can take care of the entire process from design and production to installation and start-up is also an advantage for new as well as existing clients.”
Group synergies
Cramm Yachting Systems is part of a group that includes sister firms Hydromar Marine Equipment and Cramm Helicopter Landing System. In addition to manufacturing the products of these three companies, group production facilities ESV Berlikum and SMI Groep also have broad experience in items such as body scanners and various solutions for the offshore and food industries.
“There are significant synergies here between the different parties,” Boelens says. “We make sure that the experience is shared across companies wherever useful. We are also situated relatively close to each other geographically, making collaborative projects simple and convenient. Once again, it is the customer that benefits.”
Cramm Yachting Systems is a global market leader in the design, development and construction of hydraulic equipment for superyachts. Based in the Netherlands, Cramm can supply and deliver projects on a worldwide basis, and has built a solid relationship with many of the leading superyacht shipyards. Cramm Yachting Systems has ISO 9001:2008 certification from Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance.
Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the launch of YN 17650, a 50m semi-displacement yacht during a private ceremony on Friday April 1, 2016.
YN 17650 is the fifth in the award-winning 50m class with streamlined exterior styling by Omega Architects. The ‘shark grey’ hull colour adds grace to the elegant exterior lines.
Four clearly defined deck areas provide space for every occasion: a foredeck for secluded relaxation, a vast 70-sqm sundeck, shaded dining on the upper deck aft terrace, and a multifunctional main deck aft.
Space has been optimised throughout and YN 17650 has the highest possible internal volume under the 500GT threshold. 12 guests are accommodated in 6 staterooms. The master suite is located on the main deck, while the remaining guest cabins are on the lower deck and include a full-beam VIP, two twins (that can transform into doubles) and two doubles, all with ensuite bathrooms.
YN 17650 will undergo intensive sea trials in the North Sea where she is expected to reach a top speed of 23 knots. She will be delivered to her owner in June 2016.
Note to Editors – Founded by Frans Heesen in 1978 in Oss, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to employ aluminium for the yacht hulls. Since then we have become a world leader in the design, engineering and construction of high-performance motoryachts. In 1992 we expanded our business to include the construction of displacement yachts, and today we deliver superyachts within the 34 – 75 metres size range, and beyond. In 38 years we have delivered over 170 yachts. The current fleet includes aluminium, steel, displacement, semi-displacement and the new fast displacement hull form. Heesen is financially secure, large enough to cope with complex construction, small enough to care about each project, motivated to pioneer innovations and dedicated to continuing the tradition of Dutch quality shipbuilding.

Vitters is thrilled to announce that its 46-metre high performance aluminium sloop, Unfurled has won the 2016 St Barths Bucket.
The win is particularly exciting as this is the first St Barths Bucket Regatta the German Frers-designed sloop has competed in. Unfurled was a remarkable project to work on for the Vitters’ team and carries a great number of innovative and in-house developed elements that all have been carefully engineered and built, for the ultimate clean appearance and to add to the safety of crew and guests. The yacht embodies paramount high performance characteristics, while offering the enjoyment of comfortable living on-board.
The Bucket Trophy was presented to her as the pursuit class winner which prevailed in the ‘most competitive, closely contested class’.
Unfurled takes that title after a hotly-contested few days of racing by the fleet of Les Gazelles des Mers, which today saw her win the 24.3nm ‘Wrong Way Around’ course. The win over second-placed Visione, and third-placed Nilaya, means the regatta closed with Unfurled at the top of the points table following her win on the first day of racing, and a fourth placing in yesterday’s race. Fellow Vitters’ projects, Inouï and Galateia finished fifth and sixth respectively in the division after three days of great racing in champagne conditions.
In Les Elegantes des Mers class, 46-metre Ganesha swooped in to take second place in today’s race and second place in the series behind class-winner P2. She was followed across the line by 45-metre Lady B in third place; a performance which saw her placed fifth in her class for the series.
Les Femmes des Mers class were sent on a course of 20.08nm which gave Bella Ragazza time to overhaul members of the fleet for third place on the day, as well as securing third place for the series behind Axia and Hyperion.
Back on land, celebrations were just beginning to crown an exceptional regatta. Prize giving saw not only the fastest yachts awarded, but also those which displayed that certain something extra which makes the Bucket special.
Each year, Vitters is proud to award the Vitters Seamanship Trophy to the yacht which displays the best seamanship and sportsmanship in the interest of promoting safety on the race course. This year, that yacht was Alexa of London who received the award in recognition of her crew’s understanding of those qualities.
The 2016 St Barths Bucket was raced from the 16-20 March, with six Vitters projects competing for titles. The entire Vitters team congratulates those involved on another exemplary regatta.

The Superyacht Report’s Global Order Book confirms the leadership of Italian-made products in the Superyacht industry.
NAUTICA ITALIANA’s members operating in the Shipbuilding and Refit&Repair sectors rank amongst the best in the world
Milan, 4 March 2016. Further confirmation of the nautical industry’s substantial recovery, as already highlighted by NAUTICA ITALIANA, and the key role played by Italian-made products in this trend, is provided by figures in the authoritative Superyacht Report’s 2016 Global Order Book. This analyses the segment of superyachts over 30 metres long and confirms the leadership of Italian shipbuilding, an excellence that is fully represented by the association affiliated to Fondazione Altagamma.
In fact, the Superyacht Report’s Global Order Book reveals that Italy is further consolidating its leadership in the over-30 metre long superyacht sector, with a worldwide percentage of units delivered between 2011 and 2015, equal to 37.2%. This is equivalent to the total of all those delivered in the same period by Holland, Turkey, the United States and the entire Asian continent put together. This leadership is also confirmed by the 2016 trend, which sees Italy’s shipyards working on 177 of these yachts with an average length of 44.2 metres out of a total of 424 yachts being built worldwide.
This is also reflected in terms of Gross Tonnage (GT), where Italian producers have 32% of the worldwide share of global orders in 2016, whilst, as far as order numbers are concerned, the share is 42.7% (a significant increase compared to 38% in 2015). When overall length is considered, the Italian percentage is 41.7%. These are prestigious statistics, which also confirm Italy’s leadership as regards orders for units of ever increasing size.
These important figures not only confirm the absolute need to provide concrete support in enhancing and effectively promoting the work of those companies representing quintessential Italian excellence in the world, but also once again highlight the importance of the project of NAUTICA ITALIANA, a large proportion of whose members generate the numbers reflected in the Global Order Book.
In particular, as far as shipbuilding is concerned:
• In the 30-45 metre segment, 75 units are being built by Yards included among the members of Nautica Italiana;
• In the over 45 metre segment, 40 units are being built by Yards included among the members of Nautica Italiana;
• Among the 50 yards considered by the Report to be most “vital” at global level, 10 builders of superyachts are members of NAUTICA ITALIANA – Arcadia Yachts, Azimut, Baglietto, Benetti, CRN, Custom Line, Mondomarine, Perini Navi, Pershing and Picchiotti – and 4 of these are ranked in the top 15;
• A member of NAUTICA ITALIANA leads the global ranking in the sailing industry, and another member ranks first for the number of in-house exterior and interior projects in the Yachting world;
• In general, analysing the design area, Italian shipbuilding leads the world with 30.9% of the world’s in-house exterior projects and 44% of in-house interior projects.
A position of leadership has been achieved also thanks to the contribution of the Italian accessories and components sectors, the top brands of which are members of NAUTICA ITALIANA.
Italy is also playing an increasingly important role in the superyacht Refit&Repair sector, which sees the Mediterranean basin as a constantly developing key area, due to this segment’s contribution to the Yachting Industry’s economy. This contribution was driven primarily by routine maintenance, repair in the strictest sense, ever more extensive and major refit work through to the modification of dimensions and restoration of vintage boats.
Here as well, a member of NAUTICA ITALIANA stands out as one of the top three companies in the world ranking of Refit&Repair yards.
Further information on NAUTICA ITALIANA
NAUTICA ITALIANA, the association affiliated with Fondazione Altagamma, was founded in September 2015 by 25 leading Italian nautical manufacturers with the aim to bring together top firms from the entire sector — Industry, Services and Territories —, draw up a strategy for the development and growth of the nautical industry, both in Italy and internationally, and restore the international stature that it deserves.
Open to cooperation with other important industry players, such as Territories and regional Districts, it is selective in its efforts, with a focus on its Charter of Values and shared strategic project.
Nautica Italiana’s positioning and particular focus on international markets are traits it shares with Fondazione Altagamma, which since 1992 has been a common forum for top Italian cultural and creative firms recognised as true ambassadors of Italian style to the world. In fact, the affiliation with Fondazione Altagamma stems from the awareness of the possibility of creating strong synergies with other sectors of excellence and further enhancing the role of the entire nautical industry.
In order to achieve these goals, the association drew up “NAUTICA 365” — a 360° strategic project for 365 days of the year based on three main pillars: the Nautica Italiana Manifesto, with nine concrete legislative proposals to support industry growth; the “Ethical Contract” to ensure professionalism and transparency, and a national and international promotional plan with a new nautical events strategy.
The Board consists of seven members: Lamberto Tacoli (Chairman); Luigi Alberto Amico, Cataldo Aprea, Fabio Boschi, and Giovanna Vitelli (Vice Chairpersons); Corrado Salvemini (Director); and Lorenzo Pollicardo (General Secretary).

The spectacular new 85 meter sailing yacht AQUIJO is the world’s largest high-performance ketch and marks Vitters Shipyard’s and Oceanco’s first delivery in 2016. Both yards worked closely together throughout all stages of this custom project. Built under the project name P85/3069/Y711, this extraordinary sailing yacht’s naval architecture and exterior design is by Tripp Design Naval Architecture with the interior design by Dölker + Voges. The entire project was brought to fruition under the project management of Master Yachts, the Owner’s Representatives. AQUIJO is a ground-breaking sailing superyacht that integrates outstanding sailing performance, state-of-the-art technology and reliability, with exceptional space, comfort and luxury—a combination rarely found on sailing yachts.
The superstructure is designed to blur the boundaries between inside social spaces and outside deck areas, and offers long clear sight lines throughout. Her stunning interior is clean, contemporary and modern.
Performing well at all points of sail and benefitting from exhaustive engineering and superior craftsmanship, there is no question that AQUIJO is a real sailing yacht. Her unique steering system, developed by Vitters Shipyard, translates the hydrodynamic forces of the underwater rudder blades directly to the flybridge steering wheels, providing the helmsman with immediate feedback and acute sensitivity to the feel of the boat, allowing him to experience the pleasure of sailing the yacht to its maximum potential.
Her 90-meter masts are two of the tallest masts in the world. Her performance sail plan is set up to be safe, reliable and simple to handle. AQUIJO pioneers new territory on multiple fronts; she is an astonishing sight to behold as she sets off to sail the world’s oceans.
Heesen Yachts is delighted to announce the appointment of Arthur Brouwer as CEO of the Company, effective February 1, 2016. Arthur Brouwer has been serving as Executive Chairman since September 2014.
With an established track record of 19 years both in senior leadership roles as well as CEO positions in listed large family firms and private equity, Mr. Brouwer has in-depth experience in retail, automotive wholesale and production.
His current mandate is to take Heesen Yachts, leader in custom-built superyachts and internationally renowned for creating exceptional performances in speed, range and stability, to the next stage of its development.
‘It is a great privilege to head Heesen, an internationally respected Company which has been setting standards of excellence and design engineering innovation for the past 38 years’ commented Mr. Brouwer. ‘My past experiences have enabled me to acquire great knowledge of the operational excellence, sales and marketing, strategy and my concrete aim moving forward is to capitalise and build on what has previously been achieved by taking Heesen to the next chapter of its history’.
Note to Editors – Founded by Frans Heesen in 1978 in Oss, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to employ aluminium for the yacht hulls.

In 1992 we expanded our business to include the construction of displacement yachts, and today we deliver superyachts within the 34 – 75 metres size range, and beyond.

Heesen is financially secure, large enough to cope with complex construction, small enough to care about each project, motivated to pioneer innovations and dedicated to continuing the tradition of Dutch quality shipbuilding.
Construction is proceeding apace at Claasen Shipyards in the Netherlands on the third Truly Classic 90. Designed by Hoek Design Naval Architects, Acadia is set to surpass even her much admired predecessors.
This state-of-the-art 90-foot yacht will be finished to the highest standard. The owner’s representative on the project is Peter Wilson of MCM – the fourth collaboration between Claasen and MCOM, the most recent being the TC127 Atalante.
The hull and insulation were completed first, and the carpentry work has now started. All the technical and electronic installations are in the capable hands of Cornelis Jongkind Yacht Installation, which recently began the prep work by fitting the piping and cabling.
Work has also begun on Acadia‘s interior and will proceed from the forward and aft extremities of the boat towards the middle, starting with the forward crew cabins. All the woodwork is being put into the interior directly and installed there. The owner’s suite and guest cabins are more than half complete, with all furniture in place. The master suite will have direct access to the amidships section of the yacht, which is home to the saloon and its wonderful all-round views.
The generators, air conditioning system, watermaker and all the hydraulics have already been installed in the engine room, with just the main engine to follow. All deck hatches are also installed, the cap rail is currently being mounted and the exterior finished with beautifully varnished teak details. The giant 35.60-metre keel-stepped mast and 11.40-metre boom are being made in carbon by Hall Spars in the Netherlands. The sail package will be supplied by Doyle and includes a mainsail, yankee and staysail, all of which will be operable from the cockpit. There is also a brilliant red and white top-down furling A3/asymmetrical.
The hull will be in a pristine white colour with a distinctive red underbody. “Acadia will greatly benefit from and integrate many of the ongoing improvements we have been implementing on recent Truly Classics such as the TC127 Atalante,” says Wouter van Rijn, project manager at Claasen. “She will represent another milestone in Claasen’s production and a further reminder of our yard’s premium standard capacities.”
Acadia will be completed in the early summer, with the launch slated for May 2016. In addition to this new Truly Classic 90, Claasen is currently also busy with a 77 ft Pilot Classic.
Heesen Yachts is delighted to announce the launch of the largest yacht in its fleet to date, the 70m FDHF superyacht Project Kometa. The owners have christened their new yacht Galactica Super Nova.
Galactica Super Nova is not only the biggest yacht built by Heesen Yachts to date, but she is also one of the top 200 largest yachts in the world and one of the fastest yachts for her size.
Galactica Super Nova utilises the revolutionary Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) technology devised by van Oossanen Naval Architects, which Heesen was the first to put into production. Thanks to the addition of a third engine to power a booster jet, Galactica Super Nova will be capable of reaching a top speed of more than 30 knots.
Heesen has been building fast yachts since 1978 and during that time they have become world leader in the field. With exterior lines by Espen Øino and interior design by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design, Galactica Super Nova is both an evolution of Heesen’s long experience in the superyacht sector and also the result of a specific research into what the market wants and expects. Galactica Super Nova is the result of what is perceived as a growing market demand for fast transit speeds, seamlessly combined with the high level of comfort and space traditionally associated with displacement yachts.
Beyond her terrific efficiency and high speed, Galactica Super Nova epitomizes luxury on water. Having tender and toys (including a quad ski) housed in the garage located in the forward part of the hull, allowed to develop a fantastic beach club that offers the owners and their guests the possibility to enjoy a lifestyle closer to the water. Other key features include a 13.500 litres pool on the main deck aft with contra flow system for swimming, a waterfall and integrated Jacuzzi for relaxing, while the glass bottom of the pool allows natural light to filter into the beach club below. Forward on the main deck, a touch-and-go helipad facilitates guests arrival on board and doubles in an outdoor cinema that perfectly completes the luxurious lifestyle on board this superyacht.
This incredible piece of technological luxury is wrapped in a head-turning exterior design by world renowned designer and naval architect Espen Øino, who worked on a pre-established engineering platform provided by Heesen’s in-house experts. Espen Øino has been able to develop a profile that celebrates Heesen’s DNA but at the same time brings in new design elements that make Galactica Super Nova stand out in Heesen’s galaxy.
Twelve guests will be accommodated in six staterooms with the master suite on the main deck forward, four guests cabins on the lower deck and a VIP found on the wheel house deck aft. The owner appointed acclaimed Dutch designer Sinot to create the light, pure and well-balanced interior with a sophisticated equilibrium between monochromic and soft colors. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, understated and inviting yet extremely refined. A wide range of leathers – from galuchat to very soft calfskin – form the basis of the interior decor that includes a variety of stones such as calacatta luccicoso and various onyx. The stand-out feature in the interior is the central staircase with a crystal elevator. Steel, nickel, chrome, wood and leather flow together to form a magnificent and grandiose architectural helix.
Galactica Super Nova will be extensively tested in the North Sea before being delivered to her owners in May 2016.
After her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Montenegro, she will cruise in the Mediterranean for the summer season before finally making her public debut at the Monaco Yacht Show.

Azimut Yachts consolidates its leadership at the 2016 Dubai International Boat Show. After five consecutive years of rising sales in Middle East, the company in joint venture with Seas & Deserts Group is strengthening its network in the Gulf with a new representative office in the prestigious Dubai Marina Yacht Club and a Service Manager transferred from headquarters to Seas & Deserts Group.
Highlights:
✓ New office in Dubai Marina Yacht Club.
✓ New Service Manager for the Gulf area.
✓ Azimut dealer Seas & Deserts named “Grande Collection Dealer of the year”.
✓ New Azimut 72 and Magellano 66 models immediately sold out, not least as a result of strong demand in the Gulf market.
✓ Six Azimut models at the Dubai International Boat Show 2016.
February 2016. Azimut Yachts is attending this year’s Dubai International Boat Show from March 1 to 5, 2016, riding high on the success of rising sales reported for the last five years running. The strategy of introducing a constant stream of new models has proved a winning one in this market too, where Azimut 72 and Magellano 66 were already sold out a matter of months after they were unveiled.
In order to guarantee assistance at the highest possible level for the brand’s growing client base, the position of Gulf Service Manager has been created. This specialist engineer from company headquarters in Italy coordinates all technical assistance and after-sales activities in the Gulf area.
Still in Middle East, the sales network in the area has opened a new office in Dubai, which joins those in Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. Seas & Deserts managing director Ahmad Al-Ameeri had this to say about the new opening: “Over the last year we have achieved excellent results with Azimut Yachts, delivering a considerable number of yachts in the region in the 34 to 120-foot range. In order to make life easier for our clients in this area, we’re pleased to announce the opening of our new Dubai Marina Yacht Club office, scheduled for March 2016. We have also set ourselves the goal of opening a new office in the Pearl Marina in Doha, plans for which are currently being drawn up. We strongly believe that our commitment to provide service at the highest possible level, combined with the design and unique performance of Azimut products, not to mention the valuable opportunity offered by the favourable exchange rate with the Euro, will help us maintain our position of leadership in the Gulf area.”
His words are echoed by Azimut Yachts Middle-East Area Manager Enrico Chiaussa, who said that “the partnership with Seas & Deserts is a very strong one, so much so that at the recent dealer meeting the company was named Grande Collection Dealer of the Year 2015. Yachts over 80 feet in length are proving to be the most successful segment and one demonstration of this is the recent showing at the Kuwait Boat Show of not one but two Azimut Grande 95RPH yachts, each with a different layout. In fact, the reason we have decided to permanently transfer a Service Manager from Italy is to offer ever better client service by helping dealers and owners with their specific technical needs.”
This is a very important market for the Italian shipyard, so having a broad-based network and being within easy reach for clients is essential. To do this, Azimut draws on the services of five companies to represent the Azimut Yachts brand in the Middle- East, establishing profitable partnerships with them over the years:
• Azimut Yachts U.A.E. / Qatar / Kuwait / Bahrain
• Azimut Yachts Lebanon
• Azimut Yachts Saudi Arabia
• Azimut Yachts Egypt
• Azimut Yachts Jordan
