Feadship Superyacht HAMPSHIRE II leaves the construction shed

May 10, 2012

Following her christening in April, the brand-new Feadship custom motor yacht HAMPSHIRE II has now left the construction hall. The timeless 78.50-metre superyacht Hampshire II created an imposing impression as the doors of the hall opened. The employees as well as the watching crowds had the chance to see this phenomenal Feadship vessel for the first time in daylight. After being cautiously launched, and with the addition of her mast construction, Hampshire II looked truly magnificent.

Built for an experienced Feadship client who has a genuine passion for action and sports, this latest addition to the global Feadship fleet sets new standards in terms of her facilities and craftsmanship. Hampshire II yacht is full of adventure, reflecting her owner’s rich involvement in a project which he described as a tremendous and fun experience. The helicopter landing platform, for example, can be transformed into a playing field for basketball, tennis, baseball, badminton and football, with a giant net around the deck to ensure continuity of the games.

This is one of many unusual features onboard this bespoke Feadship, the split-level design of which maximises the volume and outdoor space. On the sundeck, for instance, a crow’s nest placed atop the mast is reached by a two-person elevator and offers panoramic views high above the water. For the truly adventurous, a zip wire is connected to the mast to which one can tie a rope and slide at breathtaking speed from the crow’s nest down to the water.

Superyacht Hampshire II also has a phenomenal beach club with two platforms that open up either side of the yacht in addition to the swim platform at the transom. A swimming ladder descends from the stern hydraulically while the beach club itself has been finished in a driftwood style. The whole area is very well incorporated with the deck above, which includes a skylight surrounded by seating.

The contemporary overall design by Redman Whiteley Dixon and Feadship incorporates balconies on either side: Seating terraces for the owners and wing stations adjacent to the wheelhouse. There is a wealth of fine detailing in the design, including the nameplate on the glass panel in the recessed part of the bridge deck fashion plates.

The first Benetti Classic Supreme 132′ Yacht launched

May 08, 2012

Friday 4th of May at the prestigious Italian shipyard Benetti in Viareggio saw the technical launch of the first Benetti Classic Supreme 132′ yacht. The superyacht Benetti Classic 132′ Supreme was launched into the water after the customary preliminary steps. The ceremony was held in the presence of the technical personnel, workers as well as all Benetti staff, who oversaw the outfitting and construction of the vessel over the past months.

A mark of design continuity, the Benetti Classic Supreme 132′ superyacht is a new gem of technology and Italian style, which springs from a project with exteriors designed by Stefano Righini and interiors by Francois Zuretti who, for this first boat and following the Owner’s indications to draw inspiration from a particularly contemporary style, creates a sober, elegant interplay between the oak natural shade, the warm wenge, diamond pattern leathers and hide.

The outfitting of the motor yacht Classic Supreme 132′ by Benetti includes the most modern navigation systems developed by the Shipyard: from the innovative integrated wheelhouse to the exclusive BEST technology platform (Benetti Exclusive Sea Technology) integrating all onboard electronics and systems — the new Classic Supreme, among the different design solutions, offers also a gym-area on the upper deck, carving out an exclusive space for the Owner and his guests to further relax.

The Classic Supreme 132’ yacht is not just a new model to complete the Benetti Class range; it is also the first model built and outfitted in the Lucca Dockyard, the company’s new 4200 m2 plus facility. Located adjacent to the historic site in Via Coppino, this facility can simultaneously handle production of three megayachts of up to 140 feet, thus effectively doubling the Shipyard’s current production capacity and concentrating production of the entire line in Viareggio.

By expanding its production capabilities, the Azimut Benetti Group is now taking strides to augment its presence at historical Italian sites with production facilities in Brazil and Turkey. This enables it to be closer to its customers in new boating markets, which, year after year, are becoming more and more important on the world competitive arena.
