New 46m sailing yacht GANESHA (hull 3067) by Vitters

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

Successfully handed over to her new Owner last year, the all-new 46-metre sailing yacht Ganesha (hull 3067) is an impressively elegant performance sloop, built by the prominent Dutch shipyard, Vitters . Beautifully penned by world-renowned Dubois Naval Architects , superyacht Ganesha is expected to compete in this year’s St Barths Bucket regatta, running next month.

With a relatively narrow beam, luxury yacht Ganesha features an impressive Panamax rig. She accelerates like a race yacht, yet no compromises have been made on comfort. The luxurious yet lightweight interior is designed by Newcruise .

One clearly recognises the Owners’ vision to ultimately combine competitive sailing (also in superyacht regatta’s) and comfortably cruising the world’s seas with family and friends. Their aim to change from family relaxing mode to sailing within seven minutes – the duration of the dishwasher program – is characteristic.

For Vitters team, Ganesha yacht has been a pleasure to work on. With her 46 m LOA, clear Dubois signature and performance focus, the project fitted Vitters like a glove. Specific details like the beautifully sleek lines, flush deck, powerful rig and weight saving focus challenged Vitters to the utmost to strive for perfection in the outfitting.

The flush deck now looks so beautifully clean and uncluttered, yet this is the result of investing countless hours of engineering and craftsmanship. Pop-up bollards, the staysail furler stored under-deck, the winch pit forward of the mast hiding the halyards and sheets, under-deck stay attachment cylinders, the perfectly round lines of the cockpit windows reaching deck level, custom-built carbon (light weight) anchor arms, and  the mainsheet arch integrated in the bimini, … all have been carefully engineered and built to give the ultimate clean appearance and add to the safety of crew and guests. The experienced Owners like to take the helm themselves, and their passion for competitive sailing is clearly recognisable throughout the Ganesha superyacht.

Another specific technical feature of SY Ganesha is the cockpit with a fixed carbon bimini. The vertically sliding curved glass windows can be moved up to enclose the cockpit area from the elements. When sailing warmer seas, the deckhouse with the main companionway opened will be beautifully connected to the cockpit, creating an unexpectedly spacious living area. Also the Vitters’ developed rudder feed-back system is a functional improvement. It offers the feeling of the real helm, without the need for “sports club muscles”.

46m Vitters sailing yacht Ganesha joins the market for the first time

Related articles, superyacht directory.

The 46m Vitters sailing yacht Ganesha has joined the market for the first time, listed for sale with McMaster Yachts.

Ganesha was built in aluminium as a performance cruiser by Dutch shipyard Vitters and has had the same owner and captain since delivery in 2013. She was designed by Dubois Naval Architects and can often be spotted on the superyacht regatta circuit.

Ganesha's lines were inspired by the beam-to-length ratio and the low freeboard of the J Class yachts. She flaunts a dark grey hull with black tinted curved windows and an integrated bimini that shades the cockpit dining area. Sliding 4.5 metres offer an al fresco open-air dining at the touch of a button with a table that can seat up to eight guests. Further aft, a secondary cockpit can be sheltered by a moveable sun awning with carbon stanchions.

As for her sailing credentials, she features a retractable keel, a 62.5-metre Panamax mast, a carbon boom and flies a sail plan of 2,212 m² when cruising downwind.

Below deck, Ganesha can sleep up to nine guests with a full-beam master suite, three double guest cabins and a lounge and TV room that can be converted to a single cabin as needed. She is also commercially compliant.

The interior was designed by Katharina Raczek and it was important to the owners that the Indian spirit of Ganesha was reflected in its design. Bright colours are used throughout with open bronze latticework separating the walls from ceilings.

Ganesha has a fold-down transom terrace, which doubles as mooring for tenders while the foredeck offers storage for six metre tender with a dedicated crane for launch and recovery.

Lying in Palma, Ganesha is asking €21,000,000 with VAT paid.

Ganesha // Vitters // Dubois

Vitters yachts launched the dubois designed 46-meter superyacht named ganesha ..

The fixed carbon-fiber bimini over the cockpit offers a shady place, but it is possible to enclose the area with sliding windows to enjoy the cockpit even in bad weather. Furthermore, Vitters developed a feedback rudder system.

The owners wanted a performance-oriented sailing yacht with the possibility to cruise around the world.

The tenders are stored hidden under the foredeck, moved by cranes – also hidden installed. Speaking of hidden equipment, GANESHA has a real flush deck. Even the clamps are not visible when the yacht is in sailing mode.

“Within seven minutes from family relaxing to sailing mode… because that is how long the dishwasher runs.”

Created for adventure with a technologically advanced composite hull and GRP superstructure, she has an impressive volume of 472 gross tons.

Twin Caterpillar 3508B engines, each providing 1,000hp, deliver a top speed of 15.5 knots and cruising speed of 12 knots, plus a trans-Atlantic range of 5,000 nautical miles thanks to her 71,536 litre fuel tanks. Equipped with an ultra-modern stabilisation system and zero speed stabilisers at anchor, roll motion is reduced, resulting in a smoother experience for guests.

Avalon’s sophisticated exterior design, styling and engineering are brainchild of the in-house Delta Design Group, while her stylish interior – the work of Chris Brown Design – builds on the shipyard design studio’s original work.

The Captain

Falling in love with boating at a young age, Captain Jesse Clinton spent his childhood sailing the east coast with his family. It was at the tender age of just 18 that Jesse earned his captain’s license, before spending time crewing aboard sailing yachts and busy charter motor yachts. As the captain on board Avalon, his calm demeanour, enthusiastic personality and natural affinity with the ocean make him a respected leader by his professional crew. A keen watersports enthusiast, he particularly enjoys wakeboarding, surfing and paddleboarding.

The Experience

Offering pristine accommodation for 10/12 guests in five spacious staterooms, with the master suite located on the main deck, get ready for the experience of a lifetime with a charter on board Avalon.

Delivering a textbook combination of classic elegance with state-of-the-art facilities, she offers timeless and relaxed surroundings with a superb layout for her charter guests. Masterfully crafted woodwork throughout creates an ambience of richness and warmth, and panoramic views from the large windows in the main salon are sensational no matter where the yacht is, fully encouraging the outside in.

The panoramic sky lounge on the upper deck is a vast and comfortable space, with large sofas, games table, bar area and flatscreen TV – perfect for family entertainment, cocktail evenings or movie nights whilst on charter.

Deck spaces abound on three levels, offering a wide choice of settings for al fresco dining, sunbathing and relaxation. The aft lounge on the main deck provides a comfortable place for social gatherings outside, while the bridge deck aft features a generous open dining space for 10. A popular spot for daytime fun is the sun deck, equipped with a spa-pool jacuzzi surrounded by sunbeds, stow-away gym equipment and a full wet bar. Avalon is a versatile and popular charter yacht with a highly attentive crew of nine.

The Cuisine

Chef Mark Cervo joined Avalon from an extensive career in the culinary world. Originally from San Jose, California, he spent over 15 years working in the Caribbean, specifically the Virgin Islands. It was here, after working as the Executive Chef in the Ritz Carlton, that he opened three restaurants and a catering business.

Looking for a new challenge, Mark sold all of his ventures and discovered the world of superyachting. Classically French trained at the Four Season's Hotel, he has since had over three decades of experience and is well versed in all cuisines. He brings a wealth of culinary knowledge to Avalon and is excited to share his creativity with guests.

From hors d’oeuvres, to formal dining, to a midnight snack, his gastronomic delights will tantalise even the most discerning taste buds. He takes pleasure in discussing menus well in advance to ensure a snag-free charter that pleases the tastebuds of each and every guest on board.

Shelter island’s menantic yacht club is setting sail into 2024.

By Robert Harris

• Share on Facebook Facebook Created with Sketch.
• Share on Twitter Twitter Created with Sketch.

The Menantic Yacht Club (MYC) is back for another season of fun Sunfish racing and camaraderie.

Our membership has increased over the years, with an average of 25 sailors participating every weekend. There will be one major change this year as the MYC’s long-time Commodore Pete Bethge has retired; he and Sallie are now enjoying life full-time in Florida. The MYC leadership now consists of yours truly as commodore, Steve Shepstone as vice commodore, Melissa Shepstone as treasurer, and Betsy Colby as secretary.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable winter and spring. I know some of our sailors, including Peter Beardsley, Alicia Rojas and Lee Montes, did their share of frostbiting over the winter.

On a sad note, Dave Olsen, a long-time, much-loved member of the MYC passed in December. Dave was a top notch sailor who was more interested in giving a helping hand to anyone in need, on or off the race course, than in finishing first. Dave hand-made a number of the MYC’s most beautiful trophies; some of his handmade trophies reside at the Shelter Island Yacht Club as well.

Dave, with his green helmet and helping hand, will be missed by the entire Shelter Island sailing community, and especially by the MYC.

On Sunday June 23, Vice-Commodore Steve Shepstone will hold a Race Committee “Tune-Up Practice” at 1 p.m. at his home at 5 Wheeler Road. He will review RC duties, including safety procedures, sailing instructions, mark placements and communications. Review will be both on shore and on water. Volunteers and sailors are  invited and should attend. RSVP to Steve Shepstone ( [email protected] ). You will learn about the finer points of conducting sailboat races. Steve is a judge with US Sailing.

Charlie Modica has a special treat in store for everyone this summer — stay tuned.

Betty Bishop and Matt Fox will captain the stake and mark boats, and hopefully our dedicated crew of volunteers will return: Debra Mintz, Amy Cococcia, Dave Daly, Ben Gonzales, Melanie Coronetz, Rita Gates, Ed Goble Elsie Rose, Mike Donlon, Susan Donlon, and all the others who volunteer from time-to-time.

And, of course, Betsy Colby will be race PRO, hopefully assisted by Marion Thomsen, Ed Hydeman and others. Non-sailors from the Shelter Island community are also invited to volunteer. Charlie, as usual, will loan the MYC his inflatable for use as the stake boat, and Jonathan Brush’s powerboat will be used by the Race Committee. Tom NcMahon’s BW will be used also.

Prior to the first race on Sunday, June 30, there will be a skippers’ meeting at our “clubhouse” at Commodore Pete’s Landing, i.e., the North Silver Beach Town landing, starting at 12:30 p.m., with the first horn going off at 2 p.m.

We will all have a chance to catch up with each other after a long winter, and to answer any questions about the upcoming season. If you have not already returned your waivers and membership forms, please bring them. They will also be available at the meeting.

The MYC was started in 1933, continued until the early 1950’s, and then had a hiatus until Commodore Pete reactivated it in 1968. Back in the day, Commodore Pete sailed Cape Cod Rockets; later he switched to Sunfish, which we sail today. In the words of Commodore Pete: “Menantic Yacht Club has a wonderful history of being a welcoming club. We are very proud of our two “C’s — camaraderie and Corinthian sailing.”

The MYC is a family-oriented club, and we would love to have some younger sailors join us. In previous years we have had families sailing together and as teams sharing the same boat.

We are a very congenial club, open to all. We may not have a clubhouse, but the sailing is great, the camaraderie is superb, and we just have tremendous fun. All sailors, novice to expert, are welcome. Just show up in West Neck Harbor at 2 on any Sunday starting on June 30 and going through September 1 the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

Check in with the Race Committee giving them your full name and sail number, and be sure to bring your life jacket. Non-sailors are also welcome to assist with the Race Committee and stake boats. You can get more information about the MYC from our Facebook page: Menantic Yacht Club, or from Bob Harris at [email protected] . Steve and Melissa Shepstone have a fleet of loaner boats available on a first to reserve basis. Contact Ellen Leonforte at 914-450-1450 or at [email protected] to reserve your boat.

The MYC is a Shelter Island tradition. Let’s keep up the tradition, so please join us this summer for some of the best fun you will ever have.

See you on the water.

On a another note: congratulations to Peter Beardsley, Lee Montes, Paul Zinge, Rich Prieto and others on their participation in the Sunfish North American Championships this past weekend. Peter and Lee qualified for the Worlds. No small feat against 105 other competitors.

Bolan was one of two boaters that fell off a 12-foot sailboat when it capsized Sunday evening, officials said. The other boater swam approximately two miles to shore and alerted authorities that Bolan was missing, officials added.

A search and rescue mission was immediately implemented, with the Winnetka Fire Department working with neighboring municipalities and the Coast Guard to help locate the missing swimmer, officials said.

According to authorities, multiple boats, drones and helicopters were used during the mission.

Later Monday morning, Coast Guard officials said a body had been pulled from the water near the site of the capsized boat. The victim was transported to Chicago's Montrose Harbor, officials added, with the harbor being the "closest location the Coast Guard's 45-foot boat can offload the patient."

Upon being transported, the victim was listed in critical condition. Later Monday, the Chicago Fire Department said the victim was pronounced deceased upon being brought into Montrose Harbor.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the boat launched from Evanston and capsized at dusk, the village of Winnetka said. Both boaters were wearing life preservers, officials said.

The incident was part of several drownings and water incidents that took place in Lake Michigan waters over the course of three days, including a 16-year-old boy who died after a raft flipped over, and a man who fell off a boat over the weekend in Lake Michigan's "Playpen" in Chicago .

Hot? Here's a guide to how to cool off in the water, from public and private pools to water parks to paddle board rentals

These are the best ways to stay cool right now without spending too much or going too far..

There really is nothing like summertime, but now the temperatures are here and you may find yourself looking for some respite. One tried-and-true way to stay cool through this heat wave is by diving in the water, from jumping in the lake to learning a new skill such as sailing or paddleboarding.

Here are eight ways to soak up the cool without spending too much or going too far:

1. Find a pool to jump into

The Chicago Park District manages 50 outdoor pools across the city, along with 27 indoor pools. The city’s outdoor pools opened Monday and close just before Chicago Public Schools resume in August, according to the park district. Open swim is free, while lap swimming requires a membership ($25 for one month or $42 for three months).

Single day pool passes for purchase:

• Some Chicago hotels sell day passes to their pools. At the InterContinental, a day pass to enjoy one of the oldest pools in the city is $40 for adults and $25 for kids. The pass also includes access to the hotel’s sauna and fitness center. 505 N. Michigan Ave.
• The Robey in Wicker Park sells day passes to its Cabana Club, a rooftop bar that has a small pool — better suited for a quick dip than a full pool day. Adult tickets are $15 during the week and $30 on the weekends (kids are $10 any day of the week) and include access to amenities such as Wi-Fi, towel service, a welcome drink and more. 2018 W. North Ave.
• Some gyms, like Life Time at One Chicago, also offer a day pass for $50 , which includes pool access. 15 W. Chicago Ave.

Suburban water parks with non-resident passes

• Orland Park’s Centennial Park Aquatic Center has water slides and a lazy river. Day passes for non-Orland Park residents are $25 Monday–Thursday and $26 on weekends and holidays. 15600 West Ave, Orland Park.
• The Heritage Park Family Aquatic Center in Wheeling is a massive outdoor water park featuring large, faux rock structures and waterfalls. There are diving boards, a sand play area and waterslides. Day passes are $15, and kids under 2 get in free. 105 Community Blvd., Wheeling.
• One of the largest water parks in the area, Mystic Waters Family Aquatic Center in Des Plaines, has multiple water slides, cliff dives and a zero-depth pool to soak in. General admission is $20 for adults, and $17.75 for kids 17 and under and seniors 60 and over. 2025 Miner St., Des Plaines.

Millennium Park’s Crown Fountain offers a way to stay cool while experiencing public art.

2. Play at a splash pad

From June to August, dozens of local parks offer spray features — AKA splash pads — that are perfect for the young (and young at heart) to cool off on a hot day.

Perhaps the most visible splash pad in the city is the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park , which includes two 50-foot towers with a shallow pool in between. Designed by artist Jaume Plensa, the fountain is a boost to both public art and a welcome chance to cool off. 201 E. Randolph St.

The city also has a handful of water playgrounds , many of which are adjacent to outdoor swimming pools.

3. Take a trip to the beach

One of the best — and easiest — ways to cool off in the summertime is to hop in Lake Michigan. With 26 miles of lakefront access to enjoy, there is no shortage of options. The city’s beach season runs through Labor Day.

Some favorites include:

• Montrose Beach , where there’s a dog-friendly beach and ample bird watching alike. Montrose is also Chicago’s only beach that allows kiteboarding. 4400 N. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
• Ohio Street Beach , which offers lockers for swimmers to protect their belongings. Whether just taking a dip or training for the triathlon, bring your own lock. 600 N. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
• Margaret T. Burroughs Beach — AKA, 31st Street Beach — boasts some of the best views of the skyline. 3100 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive .
• Promontory Point in Hyde Park has lake access and trails for walking or biking. Check out this full WBEZ guide to the park . 5491 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
• 63rd Street Beach is one of Chicago’s largest beaches and also features one of the city’s biggest and oldest beach houses, which was completed in 1919. The beach also has a nonmotorized boat launch. 6300 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive.

4. Rent a boat

Whether on the river or the lake, getting out on a boat is the perfect way to enjoy a summer day. Luckily, there are so many options, from the adventurous to the laid back.

Chicago Electric Boat Company ’s diverse fleet of boats ranges from comfortable cruisers such as the Duffy electric boats (rentals from $155), which are prime for sitting back and relaxing with drinks and snacks on the water; to modern classics like the Retro Boats, which are refurbished and retrofitted with eco-friendly electric motors (rentals from $145). Chicago Electric Boat Company has four locations on the river: at Marina City , the Chicago Water Plaza , the Chicago Riverwalk downtown and at the new Rockwell on the River on the North Branch. 300 N. State St. Marina Level – Unit EE. You can even hire a certified captain to drive if your whole crew wants to take advantage of a day on the water without the stress of manning the ship.

Chicagoans are likely familiar with one of the most popular boat experiences on the Chicago River: The Chicago Architecture Foundation’s boat tour (from $54). 112 E. Wacker Drive.

Multiple companies offer kayaking tours of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.

5. Go paddling

Kayak Chicago , Urban Kayaks and Wateriders offer tours at multiple locations along the river and Lake Michigan.

The city’s boathouses are also a great place to rent a kayak or canoe to paddle the water. You can rent a canoe or kayak from Chicago River Canoe & Kayak at the Clark Park Boathouse (3400 N. Rockwell); a canoe, kayak or stand-up paddle board from the Lincoln Park Boat Club at the Lincoln Park Boathouse (2341 N. Cannon Drive); and kayaks from REI the Ping Tom Memorial Park Boathouse in Chinatown (300 W. 19th St.).

This WBEZ guide to kayaking outside the city includes more than a dozen other recommendations.

Chicago’s yacht clubs offer sailing lessons to kids and adults.

6. Take a sail

Chicago’s yacht clubs offer sailing lessons to both adults and kids brand new to the sport. All the courses get new sailors out on the water and cover the basic skills you’ll need to be comfortable setting sail.

• Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club has four-week adult sailing lessons at different levels. They also offer a “women on the water” course, designed by and for women sailors. Courses are $385 for non-club members. The club also offers a variety of youth sailing programs ; prices vary. 601 W. Montrose Ave.

7. Try out rowing

No matter if you’re an experienced rower or brand new to the sport, you can join the city’s vibrant rowing community. The Chicago Rowing Foundation (CRF) hosts camps, clinics and seasonal teams from its location out of the Clark Park Boathouse . Adults can sign up online for a learn-to-row class (from $200); youth can join the summer or fall camp to prepare for teams that run during the school year. 3400 N. Rockwell St.

The Lincoln Park Boat Club , which rows out of the Lincoln Park Boathouse, Clark Park Boathouse and Lathrop Homes Boathouse, also offers youth teams and camps. Its nine-session learn-to-row courses for adults (from $310) are popular for beginner rowers. 2341 N. Cannon Drive.

You can take stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP, lessons on Lake Michigan.

8. Stand up for paddleboarding

If you’re up for a different kind of challenge, give stand-up paddleboarding — also called SUP — a go on Lake Michigan.

If you’re new to the sport and want to give it a try with some help, local outfitter Chicago SUP offers private lessons ($100) and group lessons (from $75) from its locations at North Avenue Beach and Diversey Harbor.

Further north at Montrose Beach, Kayak Chicago also rents stand-up paddleboards on the lakefront. Closer to downtown, Urban Kayaks offers rentals at Monroe Harbor.

If you’re a yoga fan, Chicago SUP’s on-paddleboard yoga class (from $75) challenges your balance while stretching your body. You can even take their full moon SUP yoga class on Lake Michigan under the glow of the night sky.

Tip for first-timers: You’ll want to pick a nonwindy day to avoid the waves. We also recommend bringing a dry bag for your wallet and phone, waterproof sandals (such as Chacos ) and a carabiner to clip your keys to your belt loop so you don’t drop them in the lake.
