With their partnership, we will be able to provide our athletes with additional resources they need to train and compete at the highest level.

“This sponsorship exemplifies the public-private partnership necessary to develop the mass participation and champions in our sport of sailing. Whether power boaters or sailors using our waters, what binds us is the life skill and character we learn from our chosen sport.

Wider walks on the Wilder side

April 12, 2023
9:01 pm

The Italian builder is building the Wilder 60 monohull motor yacht, with the first unit scheduled to launch this summer.

Wider has revealed details of the Wilder 60, with hull one scheduled to launch in the summer. Designed by the company’s the in-house Centro Stile Wider (Wider Style Centre), the Wilder 60 is designed to be an “all-aluminium thrill machine”, a hybrid of a chase boat and performance cruiser, with a top speed of 40 knots.

The Italian shipyard says it will use its superyacht-building expertise to ensure each hull of the Wilder 60 is a one-off, bespoke build.

Marcello Maggi, President of W-Fin Sarl, the holding company that owns 100 per cent of Wider equity, said: “We all have a wild side and the Wilder 60 is the wild side of Wider. The Wilder 60 is more than just a boat; it is a bespoke statement of intent for secret escapes or wild weekends, a celebration of life and a conduit for fun.

“Tailor-made and turned with artisanal excellence, it embodies the exceptional nature of superyachting and offers exceptional experiences for its owners. It represents another ground-breaking step forward by Wider, which has always sought to challenge the status quo with sometimes radical but always forward-thinking designs and solutions.”

Wider has chosen an aluminium hull to ensure seaworthiness in all conditions, while the shallow 1.05m draft means the yacht can come close to shore. Catering to the luxury day boat market, the design features an open aft deck with a central sunpad, al fresco dining covered by a hard top, and side-deck steps to the foredeck, which features sunpads and a sofa.

The shipyard’s current projects include the WiderCat 92 power catamaran at its facility in Fano and the 72m Moonflower in build at its superyacht hub in Venice. Both are equipped with Wider’s serial hybrid propulsion system.

Fabrizio Iarrera has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer of Silent-Yachts, which builds 60-120ft solar electric catamarans in Italy and Turkey, and is represented by Asiamarine in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand.

Having spent seven years in engineering, Iarrera spent seven years as General Manager of Atlantis, part of Azimut-Benetti Group, followed by 11½ years with Monte Carlo Yachts, firstly as General Manager then as CEO of the Groupe Beneteau brand.

At Silent-Yachts, Iarrera is responsible for the production, shipyard workflow and operations management, and will help further strengthen the shipyard’s position among the leaders in sustainable yachting.

Torqeedo sells 200,000th electric drive system

Torqeedo sells 200,000th electric drive system

April 12, 2023
7:43 pm

As Torqeedo turns 18, the German-owned manufacturer of electric engines for boats announces the sale of its 200,000th motor.

Torqeedo has announced the sale of its 200,000th motor as the German company marks its 18th anniversary since it was founded in 2005 in a small boathouse on Lake Starnberg outside Munich.

Combustion engines are limited on many inland lakes, which can serve as drinking water reservoirs and wildlife habitats, and Lake Starnberg is no exception. However, back in 2005, electric options were limited to trolling motors or heavy, pieced-together systems with outdated components. Torqeedo was formed to build something better.

The company launched with its original product, the Travel motor, a lightweight, high-tech, emission-free engine that took boating by storm. The company behind the Travel grew quickly, opening an office in the USA and APAC, and a worldwide sales and service network.

Fast forward 18 years and Torqeedo continues to innovate. It created the first motor specifically designed for kayak fishing, the first fully-integrated drive system for fast motorboats and the first hybrid system for large sailing yachts, which has been used on the likes of Excess catamarans (click for article) and Beneteau monohulls (click for article).

Torqeedo was also a sponsor of the first Blue Innovation Dock series at Boot Dusseldorf in January 2023 (click for article).

But according to Torqeedo, being the world’s first isn’t really the goal. “Torqeedo changed how people move on the water, making it cleaner, safer and climate friendly,” the company stated. “That’s impossible with one-off developments – you have to build products and systems that boaters want to buy and use.”

Illustrating the company’s exponential growth, it took 15 years to sell 100,000 drive systems then only three years to sell the next 100,000. Its Deep Blue portfolio of outboard, inboard, hybrid and saildrive engine systems provides high-power electric mobility on the water, offering up to 200kW of propulsion with twin Deep Blue 100i inboards.

Torqeedo has a large patent portfolio and award-winning products in electric boating, does business in more than 100 countries, and is the trusted electrification partner of the world’s biggest boat builders and most reputable marine professionals.

“The transition to clean boating is happening now. As we celebrate our 18th birthday, we welcome you to join us.”

SeaXplorer 58 Pink Shadow impresses in sea trials

April 12, 2023
5:09 pm

Pink Shadow completed a series of sea trials off its build location in Antalya in southwest Turkey.

The SeaXplorer 58, Pink Shadow, has successfully completed a series of sea trials ahead of her delivery, having been launched in January (click for article).

Taking to the waters off the Damen Yachting SeaXplorer build location in Antalya, the SeaXplorer 58 will be the third yacht delivered from the Dutch builder’s range of luxury explorer yachts following the 62m Anawa and 77m La Datcha (click for Review).

Damen Yachting handled the naval architecture of the SeaXplorer 58, which features an ice-class hull for safe operations in polar waters and a customised configuration designed to meet the globe-trotting lifestyle of the adventurous owner, who seeks to explore polar and tropical regions with family and friends.

Featuring an exterior by Azure Yacht Design and an interior by Design Unlimited, the 190ft yacht has a 36ft (11m) beam, a volume of 1,090GT and accommodation for 12 guests and 17 crew plus a captain. It has a top speed of 14.5 knots and a range of 5,000nm at 11.5 knots.

Enrique Tintore, Damen Yachting’s SeaXplorer Design Manager, said: “We’re very happy with how the sea trials are going and are looking forward to delivering this SeaXplorer to the owner in the very near future. She performed and looked great sailing for first time and is certainly a head-turning yacht with her unique colour scheme and design features.”

Whiskey Jack wins Rolex China Sea Race

April 10, 2023
12:45 pm

Ernesto Echauz’s Reichel/Pugh 75 Standard Insurance Centennial 5 won Line Honours before Nick Southward’s J-109 Whiskey Jack won IRC Overall.

With an elapsed time of 3 days 1h 25m 47s, Ernesto Echauz’s Reichel/Pugh 75 Standard Insurance Centennial 5 became the first Philippine entry to win Line Honours in the 61-year history of the Rolex China Sea Race.

With the Orma 60 trimaran SHK Scallywag Fuku withdrawing ahead of the start due to engine failure, 18 boats – 14 from Hong Kong, three from the Philippines and one from mainland China – started the first edition of the biennial race from Hong Kong to Subic Bay since 2018.

Although his Reichel/Pugh 75 was making its Rolex China Sea Race debut, Echauz is a veteran of the 565nm offshore race, having competed in nine previous editions and lifted the China Sea Trophy as overall winner in 1998 and 2008.

“It’s historic, the first time a Philippine boat has won Line Honours at the Rolex China Sea Race. It’s such a prestigious race for us,” said Echauz, who again followed advice given ahead of the 2008 edition to “head south of the rhumb line right away”.

“As soon as we had the opportunity, we worked on the VMG (velocity made good) and headed south, then went east to take advantage of the northeasterly along the Luzon coast,” he said.

“However, entering Subic you can’t do anything about the lack of wind, so we got stuck and you just do your best but overall, we’re happy with our strategy,” added Echauz, who thanked the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club for organising “the best offshore race in Asia”.

Happy Go finished third in IRC 0 © Rolex / Daniel Forster

In the battle of three TP52s, Happy Go skippered by New Zealander Jono Rankine finished ahead of Noel Chan’s Rampage 88 to take third in IRC 0, while Standard Insurance Centennial 3 skippered by Emerson Villena took second in IRC 0.

Tiger Mok, Happy Go’s navigator, said: “It’s one of the most challenging offshore races you can ever get. I loved it and hopefully we can come back and do another one next time.”

Nick Southward’s J-109 Whiskey Jack was the IRC Overall winner, lifting the China Sea Trophy for corrected time on IRC handicap after just over four days of racing.

“It feels absolutely amazing. Seriously, I can’t believe it. I mean, we’ve won this race!” Southward said. “We had a wild last 24 hours. We could not have pushed it harder, but we stayed in one piece, everyone’s here and it just feels amazing.”

Philippe Grelon and son Cosmas finished in 3 days 22h 47m 10s on the Beneteau Figaro 3 Simpson Marine, securing second in IRC Overall and topping the double-handed category. The pair described the journey as exhausting after losing their autopilot.

“It’s very difficult because when you leave the tiller, the boat is like a dinghy, so you can’t do anything,” said Philippe. “You always need a guy on the tiller, so that was very, very hard.”

Simpson Marine © Rolex / Daniel Forster

Andrew Pidden’s J-99 Juice was third in IRC Overall after 103 hours of racing. “This is my first Rolex China Sea Race and it was a wild ride, from no wind at all to loads of wind,” said Pidden, whose crew included sons Matt and Tom. “It was quite crazy but a lot of fun and great to do it with my two sons and my regular crew as well.”

Yung Yao’s Dufour 500 Tong Ran, the sole mainland entry, won IRC Premier, followed by Thomas Wiesinger’s Sun Odyssey 42ds Pacific Sunrise and Shenton Drew’s Swan 53 Athena.

In the HKPN division, Eddy Lee’s Beneteau Sense 46 Generations finished ahead of Johnson Yuen’s Hanse 370 Zoe.

A prizegiving ceremony was held on Sunday evening. Along with a coveted Rolex watch for IRC Overall winner and Line Honours, two new perpetual trophies (named after the originals) will stay in the Philippines while the original China Sea Trophy and Sunday Telegraph Trophy remain in Hong Kong.

Before the race start at RHKYC’s Kellett Island Clubhouse, a lion dance wished the competitors a safe journey across the South China Sea. The Honourable Mr Michael Wong, GBS, JP, Deputy Financial Secretary, RHKYC Commodore Lucy Sutro and Rolex China Sea Race 2023 Race Chairman Cameron Ferguson officiated the eye-dotting ceremony.
