May 09, 2013

Following three fantastic seasons in the Mediterranean, the fastest as well as most successful European sailing yacht Esimit Europa 2 sails to the northern Europe for the first time. Esimit Europa 2 yacht will participate in the races in Germany (Kieler Woche), Sweden (ÅF Offshore Race), United Kingdom (Cowes Week and Rolex Fastnet Race), Italy (Bernetti Lombardini Cup and Barcolana) and will attempt to set a new world sailing record from Trieste – Valletta for the Medot Sailing Trophy and race in Malta (Rolex Middle Sea Race). New design of the Esimit Europa 2 yacht and her sails reflects new challenges and her mission in encouraging unity among Europeans.

On the Europe Day, during the first official training in the new season, Igor Simčič, founder of the Esimit Europa project, and Jochen Schümann, skipper of the Esimit Europa 2 yacht, revealed ambitions for the upcoming sailing season. After achieving 19 victories at all the attended races so far and setting 5 new course records, one of the fastest yachts in world is eager to repeat its success – for the first time outside the Mediterranean since its christening in 2010. New challenges will be accompanied with the new hull and sails design. Brand new big yellow stars on the sides of the hull and on top of the mainsail, together with new light blue lines, illustrate new ambitions in the northern seas, while they project the team spirit among crew members and cooperation within all partners in the Esimit Europa project at the same time.

At the end of June, superyacht Esimit Europa 2 will race at the Kieler Woche. The happening with more than 3 million visitors, 1800 sailing yachts and 450 races is one of the biggest sailing events in the world. The Esimit Sailing Team will perform at 2 races and will move to Stockholm immediately after for the start of the most renowned Swedish regatta, the ÅF Offshore Race, on 30. June. The 350 nautical miles long race, which rounds the scenic Gotland Island and ends in Sandham, will see the record fleet of extremely attractive yachts, all of them eager to take line honours at this Swedish classic.

After her performance in Sweden, the 30-meter luxury yacht Esimit Europa 2 will be shipped to the United Kingdom for the start of the Cowes Week at the beginning of August, one of the oldest continuing sporting events in the United Kingdom (established in 1826). 18-member crew will show its skills at 3 inshore races and prepare for one of the toughest and most renowned European races, the famous Rolex Fastnet Race.

With 608 nautical miles in front of legendary Jochen Schümann and his all-star crew, the Rolex Fastnet Race represents season’s highlight, but also a big test for the Esimit Europa 2 yacht herself due to always unpredictable weather conditions. In addition, the competition will be very tough, many excellent boats registered for the race, in total 380 yachts from 20 countries.

After the Rolex Fastnet Race, Esimit Europa 2 yacht will return to Mediterranean for 4 races in October. Starting with Bernetti Lombardini Cup and Barcolana in the Gulf of Trieste. On her way to Malta’s Rolex Middle Sea Race Esimit Europa 2 will try to break the course record (Medot Sailing Trophy).

New sailing challenges of the Esimit Europa 2 yacht and her mission in fostering European unity are embodied in the new yacht’s design. It features two big yellow stars on the sides of the hull and additional one on the top of the mainsail. Accompanied with light blue waving lines, showing a dynamic environment we are living in, all new graphic elements illustrate collaboration among crew members and cooperation within the partners of the Esimit Europa project.

New PINSTRIPE yacht tender concept introduced by Gray Design

April 26, 2013

The Swedish design studio, Gray Design, is delighted to introduce its latest Pinstripe yacht tender design. Developed as an ambassador as well as VIP transport for high fashion brands at major yacht shows, this elegant superyacht tender represents the ultimate corporate accessory on the water.

Latest Pinstripe yacht tender concept by Gray Design

New Pinstripe superyacht tender design is created to shamelessly and stylishly represent one’s brand at all the major boat shows around the world. Taking it’s inspiration from a finely tailored pinstripe suit, it’s sharp lines and surfaces catch the eye as it transports one’s VIP guests around the marina. The seating design is very masculine and fits well with the aviation themes of most advertising campaigns, looking like the a fighter pilot would feel right at home navigating his way through the show day traffic.

Several innovations are built into the latest Pinstripe yacht tender concept to maximise it’s versatility, and make it an asset to one’s company wherever one intends to use it.

Service Minded
One of the purposes of the Pinstripe yacht tender is to serve as a supply boat, and the bow area of the boat is laid out to provide a frontal loading area that is protected by stainless steel strips, allowing for easy loading and unloading of supplies. The central stairway enables quick access for fast turnarounds on busy days.

Another innovation is the flexible seating arrangement with floor sliders that allow more room to be created for guests who prefer more legroom, extra seating for high capacity transportation or can be removed completely for extra cargo space.

Hydrogen Power
One of the more striking features of the new Pinstripe superyacht tender though is unseen. It’s drive system is made up of a hydrogen propulsion system from Alexys Yachts, who have perfected a way of storing and propelling marine vessels with this environmentally friendly alternative fuel which is set to revolutionise the yacht industry.

Gray Design is one of the first companies to access to this incredible technology and will be developing more designs in the future based on this ground breaking technology.

New 75m motor yacht XHIBITIONIST concept by Eduard Gray of Gray Design

February 19, 2013

All-new 75m motor yacht Xhibitionist concept has been designed by Eduard Gray of Gray Design with very real, very modern and very useful applications in mind. The highly innovative Xhibitionist superyacht concept represents a cleverly engineered workhorse as well as a powerful nautical tool, designed to fulfill plenty of different roles. As the name and unconventional appearance may suggest, this is no ordinary yacht. This is something completely different. This is the Xhibitionist.

75m motor yacht Xhibitionist concept by Eduard Gray of Gray Design

Brainchild of renowned Swedish-based designer, Eduard Gray, the Xhibitionist yacht is partly inspired by traditions as old as seafaring itself. The desire to rekindle some of those traditions in an ultra-modern setting has resulted in, not only, the creation of a jaw-dropping superyacht, but the creation of a veritable entity that has almost developed a personality of its own. As much thought has gone into the conception of this vessel in terms of its viability as has gone into the actual structural design itself. It is, quite simply, a masterful blend of style, purpose and efficiency. One of the most striking elements on this one-of-a-kind vessel is the hull. The inverted trimaran configuration has been employed for one overriding reason; stability. That, in itself, speaks volumes about the real reason the Xhibitionist has come about.

Xhibitionist Superyacht Concept

Futureproof
Stability in any line of business can quite often mean going with the flow: literally. The 75 m mega yacht Xhibitionist concept is endowed with the capability to evolve with and adapt to the pace of change we see in todays world alongside maintaining its enduring aesthetic appeal. It has been futureproofed in some respects; both in terms of its actual features and its potential ‘lives’, as it were.

Unlike a ‘private’ yacht, the versatile Xhibitionist yacht has been designed to do a job; or rather, jobs. What those jobs are could vary tremendously but one of them is probably abundantly obvious: this thing has been designed to wantonly, shamelessly, unabashedly and knowingly steal the show.

Xhibitionist Yacht Concept - View from above

‘Show’ is, really, at the crux of what the Xhibitionist superyacht concept is all about. Aside from being a ‘show’ unto itself, it has been created in such a way that some of the real showing takes place on the inside. The shape of the outside may give some people a clue as to where we’re heading next. The undeniably automotive lines are testament to Eduard Grays achievements as a designer of supercars (one of which, the Xhibit-G, has been specially created to complement the Xhibitionist). A common first reaction, it has to be said, is just that; ..’it looks like a car’ (indeed, Batman has been mentioned a few times, too).

Art-Nouveau Styling
As far as investments go, the 75 m luxury yacht Xhibitionist concept resembles more of a real estate and marketing venture than a yacht. If so desired, it can effectively be used as an exclusive, floating showroom. A Steinway piano completes the scene beautifully while the vessel is in ‘guest mode’. The dual staircase by Cornish Stairways adds a homely familiarity to the main exhibition room in its full open glory and the Baccarat lighting perfectly complements the subtle Art-Nouveau styling throughout. In ‘Retail Mode’ the partitions are in place creating many individual spaces for a more private retail experience and the Nuance smart shading feature from Vision Systems provides yet more privacy at the swipe of a fingertip.

Further aft there is the powerplant gallery. ‘Engine room’ doesn’t quite cut it in this case and, being a somewhat unique feature, the engines are plainly visible; housed behind glass walls allowing for easy access for maintenance and, of course, hours of unfettered entertainment for engineering enthusiasts. They will be the ones most impressed by the choice of hybrid drive systems that control this 75 meter (14m beam) nautical wonder. Their position in the floor accounts for the Xhibitionist yacht’s relatively shallow, marina-friendly draft which, at a snip under two metres is extremely efficient for a yacht of this size.

Xhibitionist Yacht Concept - Helipad

Sun Lover
At the stern is the sprawling beach club area providing space for events closer to the lapping water. It is, as with most yachts, also an access point and will likely be the first place one would set foot on board. Matching pontoon extensions are also an option, should they be required.

Above all the fly deck is where the serious relaxation takes place. Two separate areas, one with a jacuzzi, provide guests with ample space to unwind in comfort and take in the views and sunshine.

Xhibitionist superyacht concept - Interior

Sunshine is something the Xhibitionist superyacht is particularly fond of. The animation in the video below shows the massive solar panels in operation; a sight to behold in itself. Opening up out of what looks like the hood of a giant sports car, they serve two purposes. The solar panels themselves not only provide power to the vessel; they’re sturdy enough to act as a helipad, concert stage, or whatever else suits the need of the owner. The frontal section that drops down serves the same purpose as its counterpart on aircraft carriers; allowing for access and loading. It is not beyond the realms of imagination: seeing a celebrity DJ or a live band perched on the platform performing in front of ten thousand people in a marina.

At the bow of the Xhibitionist yacht is another fascinating addition; the viewing window, Jacques Cousteau himself would have approved. Although it’s above water, in this case, it provides a select group of guests with something of a secluded alcove; one with a spectacular view.

75 m mega yacht Xhibitionist concept - Shop

Floating, Working Asset
The Xhibitionist megayacht concept is an intelligently designed and finely tuned instrument that was made, quite simply, to turn heads. More than that, it poses a serious option for investors when comparing to the real estate market in terms of Dollars per square foot and as a key feature in a business model literally represents a floating, working asset.

Xhibitionist Yacht Concept - Showroom

The size alone of the solar panels gives some indication of just how efficient the Xhibitionist can be (and how quietly it can glide into a marina). They also go to provide free energy for the final piece de resistance when talking eye candy..the nighttime illumination. As though the Xhibitionist yacht concept weren’t spectacular enough, evening lighting by OceanLED have ensured that it marks its territory and keeps it long after the sun has set.

Below is a video of the 75 m mega yacht Xhibitionist concept, designed by Eduard Gray of Gray Design.

A very successful fifth edition of World Yacht Racing Forum

December 13, 2012

After two intense days of presentations and networking at Gothenburg’s Clarion Post Hotel in Sweden, the fifth edition of the World Yacht Racing Forum as well as Yacht Racing Design and Technology Symposium came to the end tonight.

World Yacht Racing Forum 2011

Four time Olympic Gold medallist Ben Ainslie was the key speaker of the day. He opened the sessions with a keynote address during which he spoke with strong and passionate words about Olympic sailing, his next projects and the future of yacht racing in general.

Talking about Olympic sailing, Ainslie insisted on the fact that “the integrity of racing must be preserved despite the increase of commercial needs. The medal races, for example, tend to compromise the fairness of racing.” Ainslie also criticised ISAF’s lack of consistency: “How can windsurfers be told to go and buy kitesurfs one day, only to be reinstated two months later. In addition, a Class shouldn’t be selected for just one Olympic cycle; it is wrong. Those are examples that make our sport look weak. The problem lies in the decision process.”

The sport of sailing is changing fast, and debates focusing on yacht clubs and venues were a good illustration of the evolution the sport is going through. “We started going to Asia in 2008”, remembers Knut Frostad, CEO, Volvo Ocean Race. “Today, there are races everywhere in Asia, and in a consistent way.”

Debates focusing on the use of social media, and the new broadcast technologies used by the America’s Cup also highlighted the changes the sport is going through. “François Gabart, who leads the Vendée Globe, is only 29 years old and he sends three times more media than all his competitors”, observed Mark Turner, Executive Chairman, OC Sport. “It doesn’t stop him from being competitive. The others will have to learn!”

The fifth edition of the World Yacht Racing Forum closed its doors following two days of presentations, constructive debates and networking sessions. Over 250 delegates and 70 speakers from all over the world attended the different presentations, shared ideas and business cards whilst hearing insights from some of the sport’s major events.

“This edition of the Forum has been very successful, with great delegate numbers and many of the world’s most influential players”, said James Gradwell, World Yacht Racing Forum sponsorship manager. “We really need to thank our sponsors and the city of Gothenburg, who have been extremely helpful. Gothenburg is a fantastic city, and I wish them good luck in their bid for the Volvo Ocean Race.”

The event’s delegates, exhibitors, partners and speakers all had different motivations and objectives in attending the event, but they were equally happy at the time of drawing their conclusions.

“What was most useful for me was to spend time with so many of the key actors of the sport during the breaks”, said Manuel Ruiz De Elvira, one of Oracle Racing’s key designers. Other delegates preferred to listen to the presentations, such as Guillaume Henri, Director of the Vendée Globe: “I attended the Forum for the first time and I found it great. It is very important for offshore yacht racing to be part of those debates. As for the Vendée Globe, our goal is to make it more international. In this sense, our participation at the Forum is simply necessary.”

Dawn Riley, MD, Oakcliff Sailing, is a veteran of the Forum; she considers this edition as “the most exciting so far, both for the quality of the conversations and the networking. It was a very good event; the level of the presentations and the quality of the speakers were optimal.”

Knut Frostad summarised most delegates’ thoughts: “If you don’t care about the sport of sailing, then you don’t need to come to the Forum.”

Meanwhile, day 2 of the Yacht Racing Design & Technology Symposium, running parallel to the Forum, carried forward with moderator Dobbs Davis coordinating fascinating debates and presentations on the AC 72 Class, and reliability versus risk management issues in yacht racing. A detailed release about the Symposium will be issued shortly.

World Yacht Racing Forum 2012 Speakers Highlight Great Potential and Assets of Sport of Sailing

December 12, 2012

Speakers of the World Yacht Racing Forum 2012 emphasized the great potential as well as assets of the sport of sailing. The industry provides amazing possibilities to partners, venues, athletes or events. However, it requires more creativity. And a particular care must be dedicated to the return provided to the sport’s partners.

World Yacht Racing Forum 2011

The fifth edition of the World Yacht Racing Forum started yesterday morning, Tuesday December 11, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Over 250 delegates from all over the world attended the presentations, collected precious information and met the industry’s key actors during the networking breaks.

Most of yesterday’s sessions focused on sponsorship, and were aimed at bettering the relationship between sailors, events or teams and their commercial backers.

How can sponsors ensure brand activation? What are the best ways to promote the sport of sailing? How can our sport generate an income? What should a sponsorship proposal contain? Those were some of the questions debated by yesterday’s panellists.

“Sailing sponsorship, and sponsorship in general, should be envisioned in a long term perspective”, said Sven Österberg, General Manager, Volvo Event Management Sweden. “And it is essential to plan a long time ahead; at least 1 – 2 years.”

Leslie Greenhalgh, Marketing Director, Open Sports Management, spoke about her personal experience with Skandia Team GBR, and disclosed some of the key elements of a successful partnership: “It was really important to get immersed alongside the partner in order to understand their needs and objectives. To summarise, it was important to allocate time!”

Greenhalgh, on the other hand, said she has witnessed several projects which don’t provide enough return to their partners. “This is one reason why some brands have left the sport of sailing. In fact, the hard work begins the day when you sign your contract.”

“The market is changing”, insisted Mark Turner, Executive Chairman, OC Sport. “Today’s potential is in the so called emerging countries; India, China, Brasil… In fact we should rather call them fast growing countries; we are the ones stagnating. In order to guarantee the success of projects in those new markets, we must ensure that new talent emerges. Today’s crewmembers will be tomorrow’s stars. It will take time but it is essential to develop tomorrow’s talents.”

Some interesting sessions focused on the revenue streams that can be generated through the sport of sailing. Media visibility, public participation and brand activation are amongst the obvious answers, whilst TV doesn’t seem to be. “All sports struggle to sell TV rights, and sailing is virtually impossible to sell”, commented Dominique Curchod (Curchod Communications). “The revenue therefore lies in a free distribution, and the visibility associated to it.”

“The sailing industry has an obsession with television”, added Richard Moore, CEO, Capitalize. “Does sailing have a strong appeal to a wide audience on TV? The answer is no.”

Many of yesterday’s speakers highlighted the fact that the sport needs more creativity to appeal to a wider audience. New media and social networks are at the heart of the sports development; they will be discussed during today’s sessions.

Richard Brisius, CEO, Atlant Ocean Racing, concluded day one by saying: “Sometimes, we don’t believe enough in the sport of sailing. But the fact is, it’s a wonderful sport, with great values, that can provide a lot to its partners.”

Held in parallel to the Forum, the Yacht Racing Design & Technology Symposium gave the industry’s more technically oriented participants the opportunity to discuss the new Volvo 65 One Design, debate what sailing can learn from the aeronautics industry, discuss model testing and project planning for high performance yachts.

The sessions went long and lively, with a full room of influential designers, builders, rule-makers and owners including Merf Owen, Thomas Ricard, Jeremy Elliott, Stan Honey, Yann Perfornnis, Pat Shaughnessy, Marcel Muller, Bruno Dubois, Juan Kouyoumdjian, Bill Tripp, Ian Walker and many more. A summary of the Symposium’s debates and conclusions will be available on Thursday.

Yacht Racing Image of the Year, presented by Mirabaud: the delegates have made their choice.

The public made an initial selection last month, with over 40,000 people selecting the 24 best pictures out of the photographs submitted by 48 yacht racing photographers from all over the world.

Yesterday, the delegates from both the Forum and the Symposium voted for the yacht racing picture they considered as the world’s best. The top five photographs have been taken by the following photographers (in no specific order):
Matias Capizzano
Tom Gruitt
Ian Roman
Thierry Martinez
Kurt Arrigo

Today, an independent and international Jury made of Ben Ainslie, Shirley Robertson, Christian Février, Will Morris and Antonio Palma will make the final choice. The winner will be announced during the World Yacht Racing Forum today Wednesday at 2:00 PM.
