7 Eco-Conscious Yachts That Are Changing the Future of Boating, From Zero-Carbon Catamarans to Hybrids

Pure-electric trawlers and hydrogen-powered sailing vessels sound like sci fi, but they'll be on the water soon..

• Share This Article

Yachting and sustainability may sound like a paradox, but we’re steadily seeing the marine world embrace eco-change. For the yachting world, there are an increasing number of ways to boat with a lower carbon imprint. From electric-diesel hybrids to zero-carbon catamarans powered by alternative fuel sources, here is a closer look at the newest eco-conscious yachts on the water—as well as several concepts that will be on the market in the next year, and a sailing vessel that helped start the emissions-reduction trend among superyachts.

Azimut Seadeck

Having the world’s largest yacht builder embrace sustainability promises to exert pressure on hundreds of smaller builders around the world. When the three-model Azimut Seadeck  series is launched, the combination of complementary emissions-reducing technologies promises to be a major milestone for yachting.

“This is the most efficient yacht ever designed by Azimut,” said Federico Lantero, head of Product Design at Azimut/Benetti, at an event announcing the series. “We’ve identified the most recent technologies over the years, so we sat together said let’s raise the bar once again. Let’s push these technologies to the limits. It’s been like assembling a big puzzle.”

The Italian shipyard promises above-average efficiency at a wide range of speeds: The official estimates predict an emission reduction of 40 percent, thanks to Seadeck’s diesel-electric hybrid systems, lightweight carbon-fiber superstructure, solar panels, and other energy-absorption solutions.

Monaco-based designer Alberto Mancini, who penned the exterior, teamed up with other Italian designers Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, who completed the sleek interior design. Thun and Rodriquez infused the interior with the newest sustainable materials, including cork, which they describe as the “best alternative to teak.”

The concept of Seadeck’s large open aft section—dubbed “Fun Island,” follows the success of the extended deck of sister builder’s Benetti Oasis. That design was a game-changer in its wellness-outdoor living approach. Azimut will release the Seadeck models in the next 20 months, starting with the Seadeck 6 in early 2024.

Alva Yachts Ocean Eco 90 H2

In the past couple of years, German catamaran and sailboat builder Alva Yachts has turned heads with its innovative solar catamarans.  But now it’s pushing boundaries farther with the announcement of what it’s calling “the first zero-emissions superyacht catamaran to run without fossil fuels.”

The Ocean Eco 90 H2 is a special 90-foot version of the Ocean Eco 90 series, the shipyard’s flagship model. It comes in two versions: full electric and hybrid diesel-electric. The new model is the company’s first venture into hydrogen. Dubbed a “fuel-less superyacht catamaran with wings,” the H2 was requested by an existing Alva owner. It is powered only by sustainable sources, including the sun, wind, electric energy, and hydrogen fuel cells. The company’s signature solar cells generate up to 40kWp of power while twin performance electric motors give power, with the aid of the Ayro Oceanwings wind-propulsion system.

Oceanco ‘Black Pearl’

The world’s biggest sailing superyacht— Black Pearl —is also the most sustainable boat on water. Energy is saved at every turn on board the 350-foot yacht, from the HVAC system to three carbon-fiber masts, striking black DynaRig sails and aluminum superstructure that combine to make the Oceanco yacht lightweight and efficient. Controllable pitch propellers feed power back into the yacht via a pair of shaft generators providing enough power to support the yacht’s hotel load. Equipped with battery banks and a waste-heat recovery system, the gigayacht is capable of sailing across the Atlantic using only renewable energy.

Sunreef 80 Eco Marie-Joseph

Formula One champion Fernando Alonso so enjoyed his Greek charter aboard the Sunreef 80 Eco Marie-Joseph last summer that he now has a Sunreef 60 Eco in build. Equipped with electric engines, Marie-Joseph is fitted with nearly 1,800 square feet of solar panels integrated into the yacht’s composite structures, including the mast, boom, superstructure and hull sides. It’s enough to generate up to 45.5kWh, which leaves the deck areas free for guest enjoyment. In addition to the yacht’s “solar skin,” the vessel also has a hydro-generation system, which recovers energy from the propellers as well as high-efficiency batteries.

Steeler 61S Electric

Designed by Vripack and built by Steeler, the 61-foot Steeler 61S Electric is a full custom electric trawler built for a liveaboard owner. Sustainable materials, such as steel, wood, leather and Flexiteek decking, give a nod to the owner’s determination to have a lighter carbon footprint—though the biggest sustainability breakthrough lies with the boat’s propulsion and slow-boating efficiency. Though equipped to run a 75kW diesel generator, the Steeler 61S Electric is also equipped with a 90kW electric motor and can run on shore power. In true Dutch style, solar panels and windmills mounted on the roof help feed the 184kWh battery pack.

Newcastle Marine ‘Safira’

When it comes to sustainability, every little bit helps. Powered by azipod drives, which provide 20 percent more efficiency than conventional shafts, the 129-foot Safira can also run on 15-percent biodiesel. The boat is fitted with LED lighting and good insulation, which allows for smaller generators and reduced fuel consumption. Environmental considerations extend to the choice of materials as well, with reclaimed oak, remnant stone and Esthec—a synthetic replacement for teak—being used for both cabinetry and exterior decks.

Rossinavi ‘No Stress’

Italian designer Enrico Gobbi’s latest project comes in the form of Rossinavi’s first hybrid yacht. Delivered earlier this month, the 169-foot, full-aluminum sports yacht, No Stress , is powered by two MTU 16V diesel engines and two electric motors. In electric mode, the dual power system is managed by an artificial intelligence (AI) system that monitors fuel consumption. No Stress forms part of the Italian shipyard’s aim to develop boats with BluE technology. In addition to more environmentally-friendly cruising, the inclusion of AI means the owners “can enjoy the electric experience on board to the fullest,” said Rossinavi’s COO Federico Rossi, in a statement.

The Italian yard recently launched another hybrid-electric “BluE” concept called Infinity , a sailing yacht with an exterior by Fulvio de Simoni. The 138-footer has solar panels that can be stored so that yacht can navigate in full-electric mode for 90 percent of an average day. De Simoni also penned Rossinavi’s Sea Cat hybrid cat, which is currently under construction.

Green boating: tips for eco friendly sailing

Green boating. Is it a realistic possibility?

According to the RYA’s Sustainability Strategy published in June 2020, the two most significant global environmental issues of the moment are climate change and biodiversity loss.

The report includes numerous actions that the RYA feels can be achieved cheaply and easily by boat owners and watersports participants throughout the UK in order to lessen any detrimental effects to the marine environment.

In general, sailing yachts produce a fraction of the emissions of a motorboat, however sailors of both power and sailing vessels are generally more aware of marine pollution issues than non-boat owners and can usually be trusted to do their best if presented with helpful guidance.

Clearly, a lot of necessary behavioural changes and logistical challenges will need to be inspired, instigated and possibly financed by governmental bodies such as the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, along with other relevant authorities such as the RYA (leisure) and British Marine (commercial).

But there are also plenty of simple actions us sailors and boat owners can do to assist them towards achieving their green ambitions.

Green boating: waste disposal

Some of the worst pollutants created and disposed of by boaters are sewage, oily bilge water, grey water containing cleaning products and plastic food packaging.

A little more care and investment in the disposal of these items will make the world of difference to the environment in which we like to sail.

Toilet waste

Pumping raw sewage into the sea has long been considered unacceptable, although particularly frowned upon mainly in rivers , marinas and anchorages rather than open tidal waters.

Nowadays, some effective method of containing your black waste on board, such as a holding tank, really is a must.

All new boats should have holding tanks, and old boats are encouraged to fit one. Credit: Alamy Stock Photo

Though actually only a legal requirement on new craft since 2016, it is the duty of any responsible sailor to equip their boat with sewage containment facilities – even small craft, where a simple portable cassette-style toilet will usually suffice.

Although there are currently large swathes of coastline without any pump-out facilities, those that do exist can be found at www.thegreenblue.org.uk .

Adjusting your cruising plans to suit might be worthwhile and should soon become as natural as stopping for provisions and fuel.

Boat building: what will yachts be made from in the future?

Sam Fortescue shines a light on boat building jargon and looks into a future devoid of fibreglass

Discharging your holding tank at sea remains legal in UK waters, although you’re asked not to do it within 3 miles of the coast or near Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).

Other countries are much stricter, especially in the Mediterranean , and I fully expect the British government to introduce stricter regulations in the near future too.

Composting toilets are becoming more popular with inland waterway users as well, but few are compatible with the motion experienced at sea, and disposal ashore can often be more complicated than simply pumping out a holding tank.

Similar care should also be taken when disposing of grey water (the kind used when having a shower or doing the washing up in the sink).

Although fitting a grey water tank can be an unnecessary faff in a small craft, it’s easy these days to ensure any washing and cleaning products being drained overboard are of the environmentally friendly types.

Definitely avoid any cleaning products containing chlorine, bleach, phosphates or microplastics (polyethylene).

Once again, there are already areas in the Med that will fine boat owners should any detergent bubbles be seen trailing from their boat in a harbour or anchorage.

Bilge water

Particular care should be taken with this kind of water.

If you have an inboard marine diesel engine or petrol engine there are bound to be a few leaks or spillages into the bilge so ensure you have a deep drip tray under the engine.

Green boating: A bilge filter will clean up bilge water being pumped overboard

Oily bilge water should either be filtered before pumping it overboard or preferably pumped into a separate tank or sealable container for disposal ashore, rather than risk it going into the surrounding sea untreated.

In the event of an emergency, emptying the bilges as quickly as possible is a must, although a leaking boat will be letting in clean seawater from the outside, simply recirculated by the bilge pump.

Outboards frequently pollute marinas and harbours, either by poor refuelling methods or leaks of oil and petrol from the engine direct.

These can be overcome by refuelling ashore (if detachable or separate tank) or by devising a means to pump the fuel into the tank rather than pour it out of a fuel can.

Ensuring your inboard or outboard engine is well maintained will also help reduce fluid leaks to a bare minimum.

Food and packaging waste

One of the simplest solutions to limiting the amount of packaging you have on board is to unpack as much as you can before you head off and dispose of the packaging ashore, keeping the food in reusable containers or lockers on board.

If you can’t do that then at least remove any packing from foods before passing them up into the cockpit, where the wind will quickly blow empty wrappers overboard.

While most foodstuffs thrown overboard will be eaten by fish, there are some items, such as orange peel, that take a very long time to degrade so should be taken home and composted.

Green boating: auxiliary propulsion

Modern lithium batteries are safer and lighter than earlier alternatives

Time to ditch the smelly old diesel and turn your boat into a fully electric yacht ?

Along with motor vehicles, boats of all kinds will shortly be forced to change from using fossil-fuelled auxiliary engines to zero-emission propulsion systems such as HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) or hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) or electric motors.

The former is the simplest to do as most marine diesels are already able to run on HVO fuel with little or no conversion work.

But the fuel is scarce, expensive and will not be sustainable into the future.

Besides, any ICE still requires lubrication, which is another opportunity for pollution, and they remain noisy and smelly whatever fuel you use.

Petrol outboards will soon be outsold by electric outboards, which are proving themselves as realistic options. Credit: Paul Wyeth

Meanwhile, it is already possibly to propel a sailing yacht at half hull speed in relatively calm waters using an electric motor and a large battery bank.

Furthermore, the production of clean electricity for use on board has been seriously aided by the ever-improving solar photovoltaic products now available to boat owners.

All electric yachts are still in the early stages of development and currently suffer similar difficulties to those currently being experienced in the auto industry, mainly limited range and high initial costs.

The situation is rapidly evolving, however, as more time and effort is directed towards improving batteries, PV cells and regeneration systems.

Five years from now the cost of conversion to electric propulsion will likely be similar, or even less than a replacement marine diesel ICE.

Solar power has come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years and is now significantly less expensive and more efficient, although the number of sunny days is fairly limited in UK waters, meaning you would still need to cover almost every free flat deck surface with PV panels to survive when cruising totally off-grid.

The recent availability of low-cost lithium (LiFePO4) batteries and their inherently safer characteristics (compared to other Li-ion chemistries) has also greatly aided the introduction of the grid-free boat, although the technology is reasonably complex and usually needs at least some help from a professionally qualified installer.

That said, it won’t be long before a genuine ‘drop-in’ lithium battery replacement will be available for the DIY installer (many currently available drop-ins aren’t really that simple and can even be dangerous if incorrectly set up), which should make changing over simpler and cheaper.

Modern batteries need a carefully installed system. Credit: Rupert Holmes

One major headache for boat owners– time and money spent on engine maintenance – should also be considerably reduced by converting to electric as there are so few moving parts to wear or fail.

Battery capacity and recharge/generation will obviously be paramount, but careful planning, good system design and technological innovation will undoubtedly overcome most obstacles.

Apart from battery maintenance concerns, the only other foreseeable problem might be with the motor cooling system (essential for maximum efficiency), as these will be subject to the same concerns that ICEs suffer, such as blockages, faulty pumps and corrosion.

Gas: cooking and heating

The risk involved in storing and using LPG on board a boat has long been debated.

As well as the potential explosion hazard, burning gas for cooking or heating produces almost as much unwanted CO2 as running a petrol engine.

The simple answer would appear to be to convert to electric, but electric heating is way less efficient and often totally impractical on a small boat.

Green boating: Power generation and storage remains an issue for induction cooking on small boats. Credit: Theo Stocker/Yachting Monthly

That said, an electric propulsion motor will need cooling with water when running, so there is an opportunity to use that waste heat by storing it in an insulated tank, just as you can today with indirectly cooled ICEs.

Once again, as large capacity lithium-based battery banks and more efficient solar panels continue to be developed, more and more boat owners are finding they can just about provide enough power to run an induction plate or microwave for short periods, without totally flattening their batteries or running their engines or generators.

We might not be quite there yet, but by 2050 I’m confident battery and power generation technology will have developed so much further that we’ll look back and wonder why folk even considered carrying gas or fuel on board.

Antifoul coatings

Most conventional, ‘off the shelf’ antifoul coatings are designed to be toxic to marine life and if you take out all the harmful VOCs, biocides and metals you’re left with, well, paint!

As a result of current efforts at cleaning up this aspect of boating, boat owners are experiencing a gradual decrease in the effectiveness of antifoul products compared with a decade or two ago.

Already, marinas and boat yards are under strict rules to ensure any run-off water that might contain antifouling deposits are collected into a designated waste tank when they hose down boat hulls.

How long before boat owners are banned from scraping their hulls or applying new antifoul on the hard? Pretty much imminent, I feel.

Antifoul run-off is toxic, which is why regulations are getting even stricter

Despite the admirable DIY Safe Antifouling initiative promoted by the British Coatings, The Green Blue and the Yacht Harbour Association (YHA), I foresee a time (quite soon) when all ‘self-eroding’ types of antifouling will be banned for the quantity of polluting copper and zinc deposits they leach off to settle on the seabed, thereby forcing owners to have their hulls treated professionally with ‘regulated and approved’ products only.

Copper-impregnated epoxy coatings such as Coppercoat, might be acceptable for a while longer, but I confidently predict even they will be gone before the next decade is out, and anything containing biocides of any sort will be a definite no-no.

So, what will we be left with?

Moves towards silicone-impregnated coatings that rely on making your hull so slippery that nothing can stick to it, have proven slow to develop successfully and, despite being more eco-friendly, even they are struggling to comply with the strict new regulations being constantly introduced.

They are also too expensive currently for the leisure marine industry and not very effective on slow-moving vessels such as sailing yachts.

Green boating: Silicone based antifouls may offer an alternative

More recently, polymer-based, ‘microtopology’ coatings have been developed.

Based more around natural surface repulsion technology, they are non-toxic and are intended to make the surface physically untenable for crustaceans and other biofoulings.

The product is said to deliver a ‘biomimetic microtextured surface’ (knobbly or ridged to you and me), encouraging the formation of tiny air pockets that aquatic organisms find very hard to cling onto.

A secondary benefit is that their superhydrophobic properties also reduce surface friction, thereby reducing the energy needed to drive the hull through the water.

The efficacy of these ‘nanotech’ products has yet to be proven beyond the lab but, provided they are shown to work, can be applied easily and their price is within the budget of the average leisure sailor, these might just provide a workable and biofriendly option for the future.

I suspect however, they’ll require professional application so won’t be popular with DIY leisure boaters.

There have been numerous brands of ultra-sonic devices marketed over the past decade and most appear to function, though with varying degrees of success.

Many have yet to prove themselves effective in a wide diversity of marine environments and all require a coat or two of hard antifouling as well, which, in my opinion, somewhat defeats the object.

They also consume power continuously, which is a serious drawback for boat owners who have a mooring without shore power and no effective solar power.

Maybe, if we’re still making new GRP boats in 2050, somebody will have invented a new resin impregnated with some form of marine organism repellent, or an annual super-slippery, peel-off biodegradable film.

Alternatively we might just decide to ditch antifouling products altogether and simply rely on lifting our boats out every month for a quick hose-down and buff up.

1. Greenline 48

The Greenline 48 proves that hybrid technology is here to stay. Designed by Seaway, she tops out at 14.5 knots, but can hit 23 knots with optional 380-horsepower diesels. With her displacement hull, the Greenline 48 is able to cruise 25 nautical miles at 5 knots in electric mode and 1,000 nautical miles at 7 knots under diesel power.

2. Horizon Vision 74

The Horizon Vision 74 is an upgrade that sports four solar panels atop the pilothouse. While those solar panels aren’t enough to power the entire yacht, they’re able to reduce generator usage and reliance on diesel during the night hours.

3. Arcadia 85

The Arcadia 85 stands out with her grids of solar cells placed between low-emission glass overhead panels, which rotate with the motion of the boat. Twin 730-horsepower MAN R6 diesels allow the Arcadia 85 to hit top speeds at 16.9 knots with her motors burning at 77 gph. She’s got a theoretical range of 714 nautical miles with a 10 percent fuel reserve.

4. Dream Symphony

Currently in development, the 463-foot staysail schooner Dream Symphony uses carefully selected, tropical, renewable wood chosen by Dykstra & Partners Naval Architects. If she takes to the seas, she’ll surpass Barry Diller’s 305-foot Eos as the largest sailing yacht in the world.

Arcadia’s 55-foot Sherpa possesses double-paneled solar cells that generate 3.5 kW of power, enough to power the yacht’s electronics, A/V system, refrigeration, lights, heads and more. She also boasts a pollutant-reducing wastewater-treatment setup and an optional hybrid propulsion system that allows the yacht to cruise at 8 knots with zero emissions. Twin 43- horsepower Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels can push the Sherpa along at a 20-knot cruising speed, with a 25-knot top end.

Arcadia Yacht’s Sherpa

6. suncat 46.

The SunCat 46 catamaran has motor drive and vector propulsion, two new concepts that work together simultaneously. The yacht is solar powered, so more emphasis on the throttle is needed to compensate for the lack of diesel power. The vector propulsion sideways thrust at low speed.

7. Calixas 105

The Calixas 105 trideck motoryacht was designed for environmental stewardship. “One of the criteria that Montie [Twining, Calixas’ cofounder] laid out from Day One was to build the most socially responsible boat that we could,” said naval architect Gregory C. Marshall.

The 129-foot Safira is propelled by Schottel Rudder Propeller Azipod drives that are reportedly 20 percent more efficient than a conventional shaft-and-rudder setup. Her 660-horsepower Caterpillar C32 Acert engines can run on 15 percent biodiesel fuel too. The Safira ‘s decks, which look like teak, are actually built with Esthec, a composite product that also provides sound insulation.

9. Volta 55

The 188-foot Volta 55 is currently just a concept, but it is being marketed as an energy-optimizing vessel that can go an entire day without using fossil fuel. Studio Yacht Design Rotunno Brussolo brought in a team of architects, engineers and chemists together to create an eco-friendly, zero-emissions, luxury yacht. The designer says the Fuel Cell solution, powered by pressurized hydrogen cylinders combined with Azipod groups, guarantee the sustainability of the propulsion system.

10. Amels 188

The Amels 188 is still in the works – scheduled to be delivered in 2018 – is the first Dutch-built yacht to meet new International Maritime Organization regulations for yacht emissions, according to Amels. The 188-foot superyacht will have eco-friendly features such as a hybrid power switchboard, a gas purification system on the generators and heat-absorbing windows to reduce air-conditioning needs.

Modern sailing trends: green yachts.

July 30, 2020

Passion for sailing, love of the ocean, and caring for the environment seem to go hand-in-hand, and many modern sailors are on the lookout for ways to reduce the impact that boating has on our environment while enhancing the sailing experience. And with electric automobiles now commonplace, you've probably guessed that the boating industry isn't far behind. 

As Sail Magazine wrote in 2018, it is not a question of if sailboats go electric, but when. For the benefit of our oceans and for boaters who want a quiet, no fumes, low-maintenance boating experience, Green Yachts, a nationwide brokerage specializing in green boating, believes the time is now. Over the last five years, advancements in marine electric propulsion technology have culminated in lower voltage, higher range, longer-lasting electric motors that can not only keep up with diesel engines, but also offer some distinct advantages: 

• Low Maintenance - no oil, belt, or impeller changes and longer lifespan.
• Improved Safety - no oil or fuel fires or spills.
• Silent Operation - auxilary propulsion almost as pleasant as sailing!
• No Diesel Fumes or Odor.

Are you an eco-minded sailor considering boat ownership, but leery of the effort and expense to maintain? We should talk! We currently have a vacancy in our Platinum Fleet and a 3-cabin version of the sensational Salona 41  with the Oceanvolt 10kW Electric Servoprop motor is at the very top of our wishlist. It doesn't get more modern than this!  

MSC provides our members with a wide selection of modern yachts to enjoy sailing SF Bay in comfort and luxury, and nearly two-thirds of our fleet are owned by third parties. Place your eco-yacht in the Modern Sailing School & Club charter fleet and:

• Sail at your pleasure with advance reservation.
• Your share of the charter revenue helps offset the costs of ownership.
• MSC will manage the finer details of your yacht's care and berthing.

An electric motor is a huge advantage to boat owners and charter companies because it requires less maintenance and therefore offers more uptime in a charter fleet. Oceanvolt's white paper highlighting the profitability of an electric versus diesel-powered boat in charter supports this claim with actual data. Also, Green Yachts' 3-year guarantee offers reimbursement for lost revenue should the S41 ever become unavailable for charter due to Oceanvolt electric propulsion issues (unrelated to damage caused by accidents or operator error).

Interested in eco-yachts such as the Salona 41? Graham Balch, Managing Broker of Green Yachts in San Rafael can introduce you to the world of electric boating. As the nationwide brokerage leading the world in new and used electric sailboat and powerboat sales, Green Yachts also sells electric motors, custom solar arrays, eco-friendly bottom paint, and other green boating products.

Testimonials.

The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.

Green Sailing: Exploring Eco-Friendly Practices in Yacht Systems

Embracing Sustainability in the Yachting World

The yachting industry is increasingly embracing eco-friendly practices, reflecting a broader societal shift towards environmental responsibility. This movement is driven by both regulatory requirements and a growing awareness amongst yacht owners and enthusiasts about the impacts their activities can have on marine environments. Innovations in yacht design and operation are not only helping to preserve our oceans and waterways but also ensuring that the joys of yachting can be sustainable for future generations.

Key to this transformation is the adoption of advanced materials and technologies designed to reduce the environmental footprint of yachts. From hull designs that minimize drag and improve fuel efficiency to onboard systems that maximize the use of renewable energy sources, the industry is making significant strides in sustainable luxury.

Advancements in Eco-Friendly Technologies

Today’s eco-friendly yachts feature a range of technologies that help conserve natural resources and minimize pollution. Solar panels and wind turbines are increasingly common, providing clean power for everything from lighting to propulsion systems. Moreover, new battery technologies are enabling more efficient energy storage, further reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Biodegradable materials are replacing traditional plastics and composites in everything from hull construction to interior furnishings, helping ensure that yachts are not only more sustainable but also lighter and faster. Water purification systems and waste management techniques are also improving, reducing the impact of yachts on the delicate marine ecosystems they explore.

Overcoming the Challenges of Eco-Friendly Yachting

While the shift towards greener yachting practices is promising, challenges remain. High costs and limited availability of some eco-friendly materials and technologies can be barriers to their widespread adoption.

As part of the creation of new types of catamaran made in Occitanie, an audacious choice of ecological innovation has been selected in partnership with the Materials Center of « Mines d’Alès » (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard, France). It’s a question of combining ecological performance in terms of minimizing the environmental footprint and structural resistance, and this, in a global approach of circular economy on all parts of the boat. To do this, and in connection with the IMT MINES ALES, Windelo has relied on the use of secondary raw materials, competitive  virgin petroleum-based materials, that fully comply with the specifications in terms of mechanical performance. This is a real first step to the development of a 2.0 fleet ships fully integrated into the challenges and ecological challenges of the 21st century.

Associated with an ecological approach of circular economy integrating a not insignificant part of competitive secondary raw materials from virgin materials, the architectural design and the resistance of materials on the new Windelo catamarans are mechanically tested in the Materials Center of « Mines d’Alès » (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard, France) in connection with the architects and designers of the project. The design of the ship, and in particular the hulls and bows, go through a search for efficient structuring and arranging of materials composing it, combined with a mechanically optimized geometrical assembly. To this end, specific test developments, such as the study of distortion of the structure and of the panels constituating the hull of the ship, are studied by digital image correlation techniques coupled with standardized strength tests.

Founder of Catana

“The cruising program for this new boat raises the question of the antagonism between the search for performance under sail and the pleasure of navigation, and the development of pleasant living spaces. The originality of the answer is provided here in the arrangement of the cockpit bringing together the helm and maneuvers to the center of the boat and in the arrangement of living space that occupies the rear of the nacelle.

Just behind the mast the outer cockpit offers two helm stations protected from the wind and spray, a beautiful view of the sails and bows, and allows to have all the maneuvers on hand while limiting the needs to circulate on the bridge. Out of navigation, the cockpit can be more widely protected from the outside and open to the rear space.

Fully opened behind this cockpit, we have not developed two living spaces duplicating one inside the other but a single large space which is ajustable. We have focused our efforts on the geometry of the material and visual limits of this space and on the opening kinematics of the bays. Once opened, they “disappear” to transform the interior into an exterior. The generosity of these openings also allows to modulate the ventilation of this space by playing on a wide range of opening on its four sides

This work on the modularity and the disappearance of limits is found at the extreme rear of the nacelle, with an articulated platform to the davits transforming it into a floor when anchored, and in the rear cabins, whose wide turning porthole eliminates the angle between side plating and back side. The cabin space is therefore generous despite the relative narrowness of the hulls.

All these choices allow us to combine a contained hold of the nacelle, pledge control of the weight estimate, to a generous living space, with a central part given to navigation and maneuvering. The slenderness of the forward spikes, the significant free height under the platform, and the attention paid to the centering of the masses, complete the marine qualities expected for an offshore navigation program.

The other originality of the project brought by this new construction site is in the approach of “eco-design” on materials and construction. Strongly limiting the use of molds, the latter brings a greater margin of freedom in the variations and evolutions of the boats thus conceived. ”

Christophe Barreau et Frédéric Neuman

Architects and Naval Engineers

Who could know if it is the father or the son who is the most  passionate? It doesn’t matter. The important thing  is to write an innovative project within a family culture, for today and for generations to come. Hand over the guiding light, this is Olivier Kauffmann’s will. “At first I wanted to make my own boat, for me and my family; go on trip around the world living on a  efficient and pleasant catamaran. I dreamed of a new quality of space. Today, the dream has matured, and I want to share it with the great family of sailors. »

Windelo is the desire to expose us to something new, innovative, powerful, bigger than oneself. To seek innovations on materials, techniques of industrialization and uses to impulse a new economic reality. “We want to be part of this transformation related to the respect of our environment, it is for us, essential to work in this respect of men and nature. Men are at the heart of the project with the desire to recruit and form a passionate team, surrounded by experts recognized as the best in their field.

And the innovation doesn’t stop here, because the constructive process makes it possible to envisage fast evolutions from one boat to another while remaining well priced. An ambitious and respectful project ; Welcome to the Windelo adventure.

Dans le cadre de la confection de nouveaux types de catamaran made in Occitanie, un choix audacieux d’innovation écologique a été retenu en partenariat avec le Centre des Matériaux des Mines d’Alès (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard). Il s’agit à la fois d’allier performance écologique en termes de minimisation de l’empreinte environnementale et résistance des structures, et ce, dans une démarche globale d’économie circulaire sur l’ensemble des parties du bateau. Pour ce faire, et en lien avec l’IMT MINES ALES, Windelo a misé sur l’utilisation de matières premières secondaires, compétitives des matériaux pétrosourcés vierges, et parfaitement conformes au cahier des charges sur le plan des performances mécaniques. C’est un réel premier pas vers l’élaboration d’une flotte de navires 2.0 s’intégrant complètement dans les enjeux et défis écologiques du XXIème siècle.

Associées à une démarche écologique d’économie circulaire intégrant une part non négligeable de matières premières secondaires concurrentielles des matières vierges, l’architecture de conception et la résistance des matériaux des nouveaux catamarans de Windelo sont éprouvées par des tests mécaniques réalisés au Centre des Matériaux des Mines d’Alès (C2MA – IMT MINES ALES) (Gard) en lien avec les architectes et designers du projet. La conception du navire, et en particulier les bordées et étraves, passe par une recherche de structuration performante de l’agencement des matériaux le composant, combinée à une géométrie d’assemblage optimisée sur le plan mécanique. Pour ce faire, des développements d’essais spécifiques, comme l’étude de la déformation de la structure des panneaux constituant la coque du navire, sont étudiés par des techniques de corrélation d’image numériques couplés à des essais de résistance mécanique normalisés.

La rencontre avec Olivier et Gautier a été une agréable surprise pour moi, dès l’exposé de leur projet, j’ai vu réunis tous les ingrédients d’une réussite, l’expérience de gestion d’entreprises mais avec une modestie rassurante, le souci de former une équipe des meilleurs experts (sourire) et une réelle écoute de leurs avis. Au fil des rencontres, les discussions ont ravivé mes souvenirs de la création puis du développement de Catana. Les mêmes motivations, la même recherche de perfection, la même audace teintée de modestie que nous avions au départ du projet. Windelo est centrée sur le produit ; une ligne de catamarans performants construits avec les techniques les plus modernes. Je n’en avais pas conscience à l’époque mais je crois que le succès d’un bon bateau vient de cette passion pour la mer avec la volonté de marier confort sécurité et performance. Je retrouve ici cette passion, et aujourd’hui ce qui a fini de me conquérir c’est le souci de préservation de la nature, tant dans les matériaux choisis que dans les méthodes de production.

Le programme de grande croisière auquel se destine ce nouveau bateau pose la question de l’antagonisme entre d’une part la recherche de performances sous voiles et du plaisir de navigation, et d’autre part l’aménagement d’espaces de vie agréables et généreux. L’originalité de la réponse apportée ici réside dans la disposition du cockpit rassemblant poste de barre et manœuvres au centre du bateau et dans le traitement de l’espace de vie qui occupe l’arrière de la nacelle. Juste en arrière du mât le cockpit extérieur offre deux postes de barre protégés du vent et des embruns, une belle vue sur les voiles et sur les étraves, et permet d’avoir l’ensemble des manœuvres à portée de main tout en limitant les besoins de circuler sur le pont. Hors navigation, le cockpit peut être plus largement protégé de l’extérieur et s’ouvrir sur l’espace arrière. De plein pied en arrière de ce cockpit, nous n’avons pas aménagé deux espaces de vie dupliqués l’un à l’intérieur et l’autre à l’extérieur mais un seul grand espace dont le degré d’ouverture est très largement modulable. Nous avons porté notre effort sur la géométrie des limites matérielles et visuelles de cet espace et sur les cinématiques d’ouverture des baies. Une fois ouvertes elles « disparaissent » pour transformer l’intérieur en extérieur. La générosité des ouvrants permet également de moduler la ventilation de cet espace en jouant sur une large gamme d’ouverture sur ses quatre côtés Ce travail sur la modularité et sur la disparition des limites se retrouve à l’extrême arrière de la nacelle, avec une plateforme articulée aux bossoirs se transformant en plancher au mouillage, et dans les cabines arrières dont le large hublot tournant fait « sauter » l’angle entre bordé latéral et face arrière. L’espace de cabine est donc généreux malgré la relative étroitesse des coques. L’ensemble de ces choix nous permet de conjuguer une emprise contenue de la nacelle, gage de maîtrise du devis de poids, à un espace à vivre généreux, avec une place centrale accordée à la navigation et aux manœuvres. L’élancement des pointes avant, l’importante hauteur libre sous nacelle, et l’attention portée au centrage des masses, complètent les qualités marines attendues pour un programme de navigation hauturière. L’autre originalité du projet apportée par ce nouveau chantier se trouve dans l’approche d’« éco-conception » portant sur les matériaux et le mode constructif. Limitant fortement le recours aux moules ce dernier apporte une plus grande marge de liberté dans les déclinaisons et évolutions des bateaux ainsi conçus.

Qui sait lequel du père ou du fils est le plus passionné ? Peu importe. L’important ici est d’écrire un projet innovant au sein d’une culture familiale, pour aujourd’hui et les générations à venir. Passer le flambeau, le relais ; c’est la volonté d’Olivier Kauffmann. « Au début je voulais me faire mon propre bateau, pour ma famille et moi ; partir faire un tour du monde sur un catamaran performant et plaisant à vivre. Je rêvais à une qualité d’espace inédite. Aujourd’hui, l’envie a mûrit, et je tiens à le partager avec la grande famille des marins ».

Windelo c’est l’envie de s’exposer à quelque chose de nouveau, d’innovant, de performant, de plus grand que soi. Aller chercher des innovations sur des matériaux, des techniques d’industrialisation, des usages et impulser une nouvelle réalité économique. « Nous voulons faire partie de cette transformation liée au respect de notre environnement, c’est pour nous indispensable d’œuvrer dans ce respect des hommes et de la nature. Les hommes sont au cœur du projet avec la volonté de recruter et former une équipe de passionnés, entourés d’experts reconnus comme les meilleurs dans leur domaine ».

Et l’innovation ne s’arrête pas là, car le process constructif permet d’envisager des évolutions rapides d’un bateau à un autre tout en restant bien placé en prix. Projet ambitieux et respectueux, bienvenu(e) dans l’aventure Windelo.

Azimut Yachts, which was founded by Paolo Vitelli in 1969 and sells to the world's rich and famous, was looking for a design conscious model that would bring man as close to nature as possible when they turned to the duo.

"To be sustainable there has to be a less extravagant luxury, different and less ostentatious so we chose this interiors look that is far from what you normally see in the yacht world," Rodriguez says.

Design studio Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, which was founded in 2003, has infused its conscious design concept into everything from hardwood flooring for Listone Giordano to saunas for Klafs.

Rodriguez explained that the hybrid motor yacht was envisaged for families. The design came to life with clean lines, calming colors and biodegradable materials like cork that replaced more commonplace ones like teak. Cork, he says, was chosen for its eco properties but also because it's an age-old Mediterranean material capable of spontaneous regeneration and embodies the ideal of a return to nature.

The studio worked with yacht designer Alberto Mancini, who came up with an innovative concept in which, right from the very first sketches, the exterior communicates naturally with the interior. This includes the new Fun Island feature, a suspended deck that brings everyone as close to the water as possible and allows them to reconnect with nature.

"We wanted to create a boat that puts maximum emphasis on the concept of openness and transparency, and that also represented a radical change in terms of the relationship with nature. With the introduction of the Fun Island, Seadeck is actually a floating island where owners can get away from their daily routine and live in total contact with the sea," Mancini says. He is regarded as one of the industry's top freelance designers and has worked with Baglietto, Fairline Yachts, Magnum Marine, Tankoa, Otam and Revolver.

More than half of Azimut's fleet is now made up of low-emission yachts that reduce CO2 emissions by between 20 and 30 percent. Seadeck 6 integrates an innovative system that allows both zero-emissions at anchor and cruising with the generator off, further reducing on-board consumption. This system, called Mild Hybrid Zero Emission Hotel Mode, is based on a 42-kWh lithium battery pack and an alternator connected to one of the three engines. Overall the vessel reduces CO2 emissions by 40 percent over a year of average use, both when cruising and at anchor, compared to a traditional flybridge boat of similar dimensions.

The company says it has invested 20 years of research and development in sustainable innovation and is working toward meeting the goals set by the International Maritime Organization for the overall industry to reduce CO2 emissions by 40 percent by 2030.

"Seadeck is a new starting point for future generations. We wish, once again, to chart a course that will be an inspiration for the entire industry, so that the theme of respect for the environment is interpreted - as it is for Seadeck - with a concrete approach made up of investment, technological research and the courage to introduce a new lifestyle that embraces the sea," says Azimut|Benetti Group chair Giovanna Vitelli.

He unveiled the model during Milan Design Week, providing one of its highlights. The vessel was hoisted into Milan's Bagni Misteriosi pool. An immersive installation titled "Mooring by the Moon" was curated by AMDL Circle, the multidisciplinary studio of well-known Italian designer  Michele De Lucchi.  The display unfolded in a journey through four acts focused on sustainable innovation at the Bagni Misteriosi pool with a choreographed performance culminating in a setting inflatable moon attached to a dancer in mid-air.

The design and nautical worlds have come together like never before over the last few years. In 2019, design legend  Patricia Urquiola  incorporated her signature flair into the Sanlorenzo SD96, starting with the modernist metallic winding staircase and finishings like a biscuit-patterned parquet floor and sleek modular furnishings.

In 2023, design duo Roberto Palomba and Ludovica Serafini made their yacht sector debut with a collaboration with Permare, an Italian shipyard founded in Sanremo in 1973. Together they unveiled the latest Amer Yacht F100 Glass Cabin, which, much to the design studio's surprise, won them the World Yacht Trophies 2023 Semi-Custom award at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

RH , formerly Restoration Hardware, unveiled RH Three in 2022, an expedition yacht available for charter in the Mediterranean during the summer and the Bahamas in the winter. Enhanced with a homey feel, RH Three's many design elements include cashmere bedding and an indoor dining space punctuated with deck chairs by Paola Lenti and Vincent Van Duysen.

Today, Italian shipyards account for 50 percent of all world orders of super yachts, says the Marine Industry Association.

The yachting sector employs 28,660 people in Italy, up 8.8 percent year-over-year. The weight of the yachting industry's contribution to Italy's gross domestic product rose 2.9 percent in 2021 to 3.23 percent in 2022, and has been on a steady uptick since 2013, rising sharply in the last two years, according to the association.

Azimut Yachts is part of the Azimut|Benetti Group and designs a wide range of motor yachts from 42 to 125 feet in length and is headquartered in Avigliana, near Turin. The firm posted total revenues equal to 1.3 billion euros in 2023 and holds the position as the world's leading manufacturer of yachts spanning more than 24 meters.

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.

Exploring moscow: a journey through time.

Moscow is a city that captivates the senses and enriches the soul, offering a journey through history, culture, and modern marvels. Whether you’re exploring its grand landmarks, indulging in its vibrant festivals, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Moscow promises an unforgettable adventure writes DIVYA BHATIA

Moscow, the pulsating heart of Russia, is a city where history and modernity dance together in a spectacular ballet. From the majestic Kremlin to the lively boulevards, every inch of Moscow whispers tales of its storied past and bustling present. My exploration of this enigmatic city was nothing short of magical, packed with cultural delights and historical wonders that left me spellbound.

Moscow greets its visitors not just with its iconic landmarks but also with a vibrant cultural scene. The Moscow Tea Time project, for instance, offers a taste of local tradition with its distinctive red and gold porcelain teapots, serving up an array of tea blends and traditional pastries. It’s a cozy experience that warms you from the inside out. Meanwhile, the Moscow Estates project hosts festivals in historic estates, offering a chance to immerse yourself in Russia’s rich heritage through everything from ancient games to modern concerts. These experiences transform a visit to Moscow into a journey through time, leaving you enriched and enchanted.

Moscow’s storied past breathes life into its present

Moscow, the capital of Russia, boasts a rich history that continues to shape its vibrant, modern identity. First mentioned in 1147, Moscow began as a modest settlement but quickly grew into a significant trade and political hub. By the late 13th century, it became the centre of a principality, eventually transforming into the heart of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Its rise continued solidifying Moscow’s status as the capital of a centralized Russian state. Despite Peter the Great shifting the capital to St. Petersburg in 1712, Moscow remained crucial, playing a key role in Russia’s national identity and resilience, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars in 1812.

Following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Moscow resumed its role as Russia’s capital and became the epicentre of the Soviet Union. The city experienced vast industrialization and became a symbol of Soviet power, marked by landmarks such as the Kremlin and the Lenin Mausoleum. Post-Soviet Moscow, emerging after 1991, embraced economic transformation and cultural revitalization, becoming a dynamic metropolis that intertwines historical richness with contemporary life.

Moscow’s history is vividly present in its architecture, such as the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral, and its cultural institutions like the State Historical Museum and the Bolshoi Theatre. Monuments and public spaces commemorate significant events and figures, creating a living narrative that enriches the daily lives of Muscovites. Historical districts like Kitay-Gorod preserve the city’s heritage while coexisting with modern development. Through its streets, buildings, and public events, Moscow’s past remains an integral part of its vibrant present, making it a city where history and modernity coexist harmoniously.

Moscow is a traveller’s paradise

Moscow today is a vibrant and welcoming city that offers a rich blend of history, culture, and modernity, making it a friendly destination for visitors from around the world. The city’s efficient public transportation system, including its world-renowned metro with opulent stations, ensures easy navigation through its many attractions. Tourists can explore iconic sites such as the Kremlin, Red Square, and Saint Basil’s Cathedral, while also enjoying the city’s diverse culinary scene, which ranges from traditional Russian fare to international cuisines. Moscow’s green spaces, like Gorky Park and the Moscow River embankments, provide tranquil settings for relaxation and recreation. Additionally, the city’s hospitality industry offers a wide array of accommodations, from luxurious hotels to cozy boutique options, all known for their warm service. The cultural landscape is rich with theatres, museums, and galleries that cater to a variety of tastes, ensuring that every traveller finds something to marvel at. Whether one is drawn to the grand architecture, the bustling arts scene, or the vibrant nightlife, Moscow is a city that warmly embraces its visitors, making it a must-visit for any avid traveller.

Must-See Attractions

The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square

The Kremlin and Red Square are the heart and soul of Moscow, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dazzles with its grandeur and historical significance. From the moment you lay eyes on the Kremlin’s ruby stars and ancient tiles, you’re transported back in time. The Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell greet you as you enter, relics of Russia’s imperial past that stand as a testament to its powerful history. The Armoury Chamber, brimming with treasures like the Fabergé eggs and royal regalia, offers a glittering glimpse into the opulence of the czarist era.

No visit to Moscow is complete without a stroll through Red Square, where the whimsical domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral create a fantastical skyline. Lenin’s Mausoleum, where the Soviet leader rests, adds a poignant touch to the experience. The Historical Museum and the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat add layers to the rich tapestry of Russian history.

Zaryadye Park

Just a stone’s throw from Red Square, Zaryadye Park blends natural beauty with futuristic architecture. This modern park offers breathtaking views of the Kremlin and the Moskva River, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon.

Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye

Venturing beyond the city center, the Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye stands as a marvel of Russian architecture. Built to commemorate the birth of Ivan the Terrible, this church is one of the first hipped roof temples in Russia and offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve

Even with the Church of the Ascension under restoration, the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve provides a rich array of historical treasures. The palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the Falcon Court, and the beekeeper’s estate are just a few of the attractions that make this verdant park a delightful retreat.

Don’t let the acronym fool you-VDNKh, or the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy, is a must-see. This sprawling complex is a testament to Soviet and Russian progress, featuring exhibitions that span from agricultural innovations to space exploration. Pavilion 75, with its focus on the diverse regions of Russia, and the Cosmonautics and Aviation Centre, with its detailed exhibits on space travel, are particularly captivating.

The Moscow Eye

For a panoramic view of Moscow, the Moscow Eye is unbeatable. This Ferris wheel provides a bird’s-eye view of the city, offering a unique perspective on its sprawling urban landscape and architectural marvels.

Kolomenskoye Estate

This former royal estate is a beautiful blend of gardens and ancient structures, offering a tranquil escape steeped in history and charm.

Activities to Enjoy Crave Theatre

In the heart of Moscow, Crave Theatre stands as a beacon of contemporary theatrical arts. Known for its innovative and avant-garde performances, this intimate venue is a must-visit for culture enthusiasts. Be sure to book in advance, as tickets sell out quickly.

Shopping in Moscow

Moscow is a shopper’s paradise, offering everything from high-end boutiques to traditional markets. Explore GUM and TSUM for luxury brands, or head to the “Made in Moscow” shop for unique local goods. The Tsvetnoy department store is perfect for cutting-edge fashion, with regular events and pop-up markets that attract the city’s fashionistas.

Boat Trip on the “Erwin River” Yacht

An evening cruise on the Moskva River offers a magical view of Moscow’s landmarks. The yacht provides a luxurious setting to enjoy the cityscape, from the Kremlin to the modern skyscrapers of Moscow City, all bathed in the glow of sunset.

Princess Yachts appoints new CEO

Princess yachts has announced the appointment of will green as ceo, succeeding antony sheriff in the position….

Antony Sheriff has stepped down as CEO of the Plymouth-based yacht builder and has been replaced as CEO by Will Green, who steps up from his role as Commercial Executive Director. In February 2023 Princess Yachts , the UK's largest luxury boatbuilder was sold to KPS Capital Partners, a US-based private equity firm.

Will Green joined Princess Yachts in 2003 and has helped shape the Company as Chief Sales Officer and more recently in his position of Chief Commercial Officer. Previously Head of UK Sales at luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin, Green oversaw the strategic direction of Princess’ global sales.

“It is an honour to be appointed chief executive of Princess. Those who know me will recognise the passion I have for the brand, so this is an exciting opportunity to shape the next chapter for the business and build on its amazing legacy," said Green.

“I am excited and privileged to work alongside a very talented team that has achieved a long track record of success and, with the support of our controlling shareholder KPS Capital Partners, I know we can build on this further with investment in some key areas and by focusing on what we do best – building exceptional yachts for our customers.’

Antiwar.com Home About Antiwar.com US Casualties Latest News News From Antiwar.com Original and up-to-date news US and Canadian Warships Arrive in Cuba During Russian Naval Deployment Three Russian warships and one nuclear-powered submarine arrived in Havana for naval exercises this week after carrying out what the Russian Defense Ministry called “high-precision missile weapons” training in the Atlantic Ocean. On Friday, in what is being viewed as a response to Moscow’s deployment to the Caribbean nation, a US fast-attack submarine made an uninvited port visit to Guantanamo Bay . Additionally, a Canadian patrol vessel entered Havana Harbor. Vice Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío expressed displeasure with the advent of the American fast-attack submarine Helena in Guantanamo Bay, located some 530 miles southeast of Havana, remarking that “Naval visits to a country are usually the result of an invitation, and this was not the case.” He continued, “Obviously we do not like the presence in our territory (of a submarine) belonging to a power that maintains an official and practical policy that is hostile against Cuba.” Canada’s Margaret Brooke patrol vessel arrived in Havana harbor hours later in what the Canadian Joint Operations Command dubbed “a port visit… in recognition of the long-standing bilateral relationship between Canada and Cuba.” The Russian move to send warships to Cuba for training exercises, not uncommon over roughly the last decade , is likely intended as a flexing of Moscow’s military muscle in Washington’s backyard. Tensions have been boiling over NATO’s proxy war with the Kremlin in Ukraine recently. Last month, Washington green-lit Kiev’s strikes on the Russian mainland using US-provided weapons and NATO is preparing to deploy military trainers to Ukraine. Although Havana and Washington have insisted the Russian warships are not carrying nuclear weapons, despite their ability to do so, the ships are loaded with advanced armaments. The frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the convoy’s lead ship, is “equipped with Zircon hypersonic missiles, which [Russian President Vladimir] Putin has in the past said can fly nine times faster than the speed of sound at a range of more than 1,000km (more than 620 miles). It also carries Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles,” reports Al Jazeera . Likewise, the nuclear-powered submarine Kazan is believed to be outfitted with Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles. The ships are currently docked in Havana port, with residents taking tours of the various vessels. The Russian ships are expected to leave the area tomorrow. Echoes of the Cold War and, quite emphatically, the Cuban Missile Crisis are being felt today, as Washington and Moscow challenging each other’s spheres of influence, sending warships near each other’s borders. The White House has attempted to downplay the significance of the Russian presence only dozens of miles from the US coast by saying it is merely “routine.” Nevertheless, multiple US navy ships have been ordered to shadow the Russian vessels this week. This comes after more than a decade of myriad war games launched inside Ukraine, on the Black Sea, and just off Russia’s borders by the US, in some cases jointly with Ukraine or with scores of NATO states. The US military’s activity in close proximity to Russia’s territory is usually far more provocative than this Russian deployment in Cuba. For example, in November 2021, U.S. Strategic Command’s Global Thunder exercise saw nuclear-capable warplanes and strategic bombers flying within 12.4 miles of the Russian border and simulating a nuclear attack . There had been 30 such flights that month, and according to Russia’s then Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, American bomber activity near his country’s borders had increased 2.5 times compared to the previous year. In July 2021, Washington and Kiev hosted the so-called Sea Breeze war games in the Black Sea involving the participation of warships and naval personnel from more than 30 other countries. Just before these drills, a British destroyer caused an international incident by sailing within 12 nautical miles of the Crimean coast. This led the Russian navy to fire warning shots and drop bombs in its path to turn it around. A cache of secret and sensitive British Defense Ministry documents later revealed that this was a deliberate provocation that London had engineered. In recent weeks, Moscow has made multiple overtures towards peace talks with Washington to end the war in Ukraine along current battle lines . These requests have been flatly denied by the US and Ukraine. When asked about the message being conveyed to the US by the Russian navy’s activities in Cuba right now, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said “As soon as it comes to exercises or sea voyages, we immediately hear questions and a desire to know what these messages are about.” She continued, lamenting “Why do only signals related only to our army and navy reach the West?” Despite Cuba’s long-standing relationship with Ukraine, Moscow and Havana have developed closer ties during the past several years. This is a result of both the Donald Trump and Joe Biden administrations’ tightened sanctions against both countries and the economic pains Cuba has suffered particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic .
