Michael Peters Yacht Design took charge of the vessel’s naval architecture and exterior design, while New Zealand-based Below Decks Marine Interiors did the interior styling. The Australian company Motor yacht Build will oversee the project.The yacht will be constructed entirely out of carbon for an experienced owner who is an international sportfisherman. The owner decided to build the yacht with Yachting Developments due to their experience with carbon in similar projects. The yard launched their first sportfisher, the 27.4 metre Satu, in 2012.Hull 1015 will be constructed alongside the 33.5 metre Hull 1012, which is now over halfway complete. “It is exciting to have two such different new build projects underway, which each showcase the wide skillset we have here at the yard,” said Ian Cook, Managing Director of Yachting Developments.By Charl van Rooy

Hodgdon Yachts has nearly two centuries of experience combining art and function. In collaboration with Michael Peters Yacht Design, Hodgdon is presenting a series of artful tenders designed to please not only the discriminating owner with good taste but the crew with high standards as well. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134984/image/large-a845ffb4b3f4882eb6442462198a5655.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/134984">Beautifully designed, artfully styled and expertly built, these tenders are designed to maintain an aesthetic while being optimised for a particular function. The Sport Tender is as fun as it is sexy, the Centre Console Tender lots of adventure-loving guests, and the unique Limo Tender brings chauffeured car and private aircraft standards to shuttling guests to and from their superyachts. Carrying up to 12 guests in luxurious leather seating, the Hodgdon Limo Tender carries all of the amenities one would expect in a chauffeured motor car coach including high definition entertainment system, refreshment station and climate control. In addition to looking spectacular, the Hodgdon Limo Tender is a functional work of art. The side windows power down to reveal boarding access both port and starboard. The full salon hardtop rises hydraulically to allow full height headroom for ease of boarding and excellent 360 degree ventilation and standing visibility even while underway. For quick ingress the top features lift up hatches at the boarding gates while the hardtop is down. Hodgdon Yachts <a href="http://www.hodgdonyachts.com">www.hodgdonyachts.com</a>

Hodgdon Yachts introduces the custom Tenders Line 

Vicem Yachts, Turkish builders of luxury motor yachts, opens 2011 with the new worldwide debut of its third line of yachts: the Vanguard Line. Composed of the Vanguard 45 and the Vanguard 33, the new Vanguard Line is a perfect blend of timeless elegance, performing naval architecture and state of the art production technology. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133781/image/large-d1b9cf2cae8f1ebfc7331fa5d2122951.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133781">The exterior and the interior of this new line were done by Vicem's in-house design department, while the hull and naval architecture were developed by yacht designer Michael Peters.This clean lined design combines wood elements that illustrate the classic Vicem style with new color palettes of grey, silver and blue. It also blends style and speed with very livable interiors, offering two cabins with twin berths, one forward and the other amidships, a comfortable galley and head with separate shower. Special features of this Vicem Line are a stern mounted automatic swim platform that closes and becomes an integral part of the hull, a sun bathing area at the bow with a bimini-top, living space aboard for up to ten guests and two large cabins with king size beds, along with the detailed attention of the cockpit. All of these elements make this Vicem Line a comfortable, high performance, luxurious line which should perfectly tailor to its customers’ desires. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133782/image/large-92eabbf7c9e6dafcfdd446f98268d9bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133782">There are several options for engine choices; firstly, for lovers of ease and comfort, Vicem offers twin Volvo IPS 600 engines with 34 knots of top speed. This option means easier docking, lower fuel consumption and 30% lower emissions compared to traditional propulsion. Alternatively, one can opt for high performance, with twin 800HP MAN R6 engines option coupled with ASD - Arneson Surface Drive transmissions and reach a top speed of over 50 knots. This is also thanks to a 20° degrees dead-rise for increased seaworthiness. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133783/image/large-6391f64423a4a6048eb8eedffd9b45e6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133783">Vicem Yachts CEO Alberto Perrone Da Zara presented another new development for the Turkish yard: “We studied competitors worldwide and discovered a few gaps that the yard could fill: improved seaworthiness, a more enjoyable boat in heavier seas, better living space below-decks, zero compromise construction quality and a higher cost factor. Together with Michael Peters we have decided to build hulls that no one else has: infused epoxy. We turned to SP System and SP-High Modulus – B3 Smart Pac for a production package that uses six different core types for each hull. Certainly, this is a very challenging brief for our production and purchase departments, but quality here at Vicem has never been compromised.” Vanguard 45 will be ready for sea trials fall 2011 VICEM Yacht Headquarters +90 216 394 0450 <a href="mailto:info@vicemyacht.com?subject=New%20Vicem%20Vanguard%20Line%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@vicemyacht.com</a> <a href="http://www.vicemyacht.com">www.vicemyacht.com</a>

Vicem Yachts introduce the New Vanguard Line

Best known for his success in offshore racing, Michael Peters will be speaking at the 2008 Yacht Vision Symposium. His topic - “Where Green Fits in to The World of Superyachts”. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123794/image/large-29e6013f49e088e2f4450c0acc5d938b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123794">Michael confesses that in winning 12 UIM World Championships, his race boats alone have consumed over 2 million gallons of fuel. Now, with the possibly more mature and almost sailor-like attitude that squeezing an extra 5 or 10% out of a 15-knot boat can be just as exciting as winning a race at 200+ mph, he should have an interesting perspective on the concept of the ‘green’ yacht. Since 1981, Michael Peters has completed over 350 designs, leading to the construction of over 25,000 fuel-guzzling powerboats. His work has ranged from small production boats to custom motor yachts over 150’ in length. Balancing aesthetic design and solid but creative engineering, the Michael Peters office is known for diversity and has been recognised for technical merit and innovation as well as artistic design. Awards from Showboats Magazine and the Superyacht Society sit on the shelf alongside the Kiekhaefer Memorial Award for Innovation in Offshore Racing. <noscript></noscript>
