It basically was
an art before.
We’re just starting
to scratch it
into a science.

Art and science, an unlikely combination. Yet, in 1973, Awlgrip launched
a revolutionary state of the art topcoat combining the best of both and
changed the future of yacht paints forever. Chemistry and color fused
like never before, a finish so deep, full of lustre with unmistakable gloss.
The Awlgrip look was born and for 40 years our industry-leading
innovation has kept the world’s yachts looking their best.
Awlgrip. Beauty through innovation.

Sense of Distinction“I THINK THERE’S BEEN A REAL TAKE-OFF AGAIN,” PALMER JOHNSON’S MAURICIO WEISZBERGER SAID FOLLOWING THE 23RD MYS. HE BELIEVES ONE of the main trends in evidence this year has been an interest in distinctive yachts offering something different in their design.
At MYS I certainly felt the change in mood: “a tentative degree of optimism, with murmurings of a nascent recovery,” as the show’s Managing Director Gaelle Tallarida described it. And as for distinction, in this issue of SYI we cover Palmer Johnson’s 65.5m sport yacht Lady M – the largest vessel ever built by the American yacht builder. You can read our full report on this impressive yacht starting on pg 34.
At MYS, the flurry of activity indicated renewed interest in clever, distinctive solutions – one example is the flat, thin and light antennas developed by Kymeta in collaboration with e3 systems. The new design allows for new levels of efficient form factors compared to traditional mechanically-steered dish-style antennas.
This issue of SYI covers Masts, Rigging, Deck Equipment & Composites – which is of course a chance to enjoy the epitome of majestic sailing yachts. Speaking of which, we at last have the opportunity to take you on board the 55m ketch Kamaxitha, delivered by Royal Huisman in early 2012. From beautiful island hideaways in the West Indies, photographer Cory Silken guides us through the elegant Dykstra Naval Architects design and stunning Rhoades Young interior.
The superyacht industry season continues in November with the METS 2013 edition. We’ll be glad to welcome you to our stand in the SuperYacht Pavilion – stand number 09.707. At the stand you can find out more about our Publishing & Promotions Service. Did you know our creative team develops customised print, online and film materials for clients like you?
If you share the sense that the market has turned a corner and you’d like to share your distinctive story with the superyacht industry, I’d like to hear more.

There have been a lot of firsts for me these last
few months, from joining the editorial team at Yellow
& Finch Publishers to visiting some of the most
memorable launchings of the season. Another first for
me was the press trip we were invited to last September
in Boom, Belgium, where we went to Shipyard
Vennekens, which has been
a family business since 1952.
Stefan Vennekens grew up at
this family company and plays an
active role in the management
and design on the shipyard,
continuing the family tradition. He
decided to broaden his design
horizons by providing design
services to other shipyards and
design offices. That is when
Emocean Yacht Design was
established. Stefan and his business partner Berkeley
March have a mutual love not only for the engineering
side, but also for the creative and artistic side of yacht
design. They are particular specialised in the field of
3D in yacht and ship design in CATIA from Dassault
Systèmes for surface design, reverse engineering,
modeling, rendering and animation. When we continued
our tour through the shipyard we came across a fully
stripped 25.9m Feadship named Sea Harmony (1964).
There was nothing left but a bare hull, superstructure
and a pair of engines. She is ready for a big refit just like
her sister Sultana (1969), who was
cruising under the Lloyd’s Register.
She recently had a unique renovation
project done by Koninklijke De Vries
Scheepsbouw in Holland. Let’s say
that old and new continued to meet,
but like Emily Dickinson quoted in her
poem: “We turn not older with years,
but newer every day.”
I hope to meet you soon.
