A First Look Inside The Luxurious 50m (164ft) Papi du Papi Superyacht.




Back in July of 2011, ISA (International Shipyards Ancona) launched the aluminum and steel 50m (164ft) motor yacht Papi Du Papi, the second in a series of three new 50m yachts under construction at the Italian shipyard that share the same technical platforms, but differ in their superstructure and transom design.

Sleek, Solar, Sexy and Super High Tech. The Latest Images of The Code-X Yacht.





The "CODE-X Yacht" was featured in its early stages on just about every design blog years ago. Since then, it's actually come to reality and I wanted to share the latest images of the "Next Generation CODE-X Yacht" with you. (Info, specs and earlier images of the yacht are after the newest photos).
















CODE-X AG and SILICON-FIRE AG bring drive technology to a new level with the Next Generation CODE-X Yacht.

From the Code-X site:
CODE-X AG, the swiss company based in Meggen on Lake Lucerne, started with the goal of developing products with maximum exclusivity that use renewable energy sources to serve a common good in the mid to long term and serial production maturity subsequent to further development.




These high-end products with added value go far beyond the common perception of luxury goods. The brand represents well developed and technologically exceptional concepts and products which have an obligation to the environment. They also give their buyers a role as pioneer and frontrunner on the path to a cleaner, more environmentally friendly future.

The CODE-X-YACHT is the first product to celebrate its world premiere this year with a synthesis of solar technology and Formula 1 engines meeting the highest standards.

THE YACHT

The uncompromisingly designed yacht, built by international leading experts, symbolises a dream come true.

CODE-X unites radical purism, the optimal benefit of renewable energy and the sheer power of a racing machine in one boat.

A flexible solar hybrid propulsion system enables both quiet, environmentally friendly cruising in ports and coastal areas as well as the pleasure of high speeds on open waters!

Motor Boat & Yachting had this to say about it:
The Code-X presents the helmsman with a terrible ethical dilemma. You can either use the environmentally impeccable solar/hybrid drive, which gives a cruising speed of just a few knots, or you can turn the key on twin 710hp Ilmor engines, combined with ZF Trimax propeller drives, for a considerably sexier but not-quite-so-green 90 knots. Despite MBY's heartfelt commitment to combating global warming, we know which we'd chose.

Either way, this ultra-modern machine is a far cry from the electric plodders occasionally seen on the UK's rivers and canals. Controlled throughout by touch screen, the Swiss design boasts a Kevlar/carbon shell with phototropic-shaded screens and windows, one of which raises to let the cocooned passengers, or should that be astronauts, out into the fresh air.

Inside an LED illumination system "ensures optimal night viewing" and there is solar-powered air-con and a whirlpool bath. Don't worry if you think all that black carbon is going to heat up in the Med sunshine: the deck is UV-resistant with a heat-repellent shell and you can opt for a lighter shade hull.

Code-X are also lining up a new racing series called Formula Clean. They will manufacture, at their own expense and parallel to the production of the limited Code-X leisure series, another fleet of seven boats carrying only renewable energy. Sounds like quite a fun way to save the planet.

The World's Most Beautiful Trimaran, The Adastra Superyacht, Finally Launches.






From Design to Reality, The Adastra Trimaran:


The luxury streamlined 42-metre trimaran Adastra caught the attention of the world’s press when it was unveiled in China by John Shuttleworth Yacht Designs Ltd. At that time, computer renderings (like the ones below) of the sleek and futuristic looking trimaran made the rounds on the internet.









Now, after 4 years in build by McConaghy boats in Zhuhai China, the fuel efficient 42.5 m Trimaran Adastra has been launched into the Pearl River.



No longer just drool-worthy cgi images, but here are actual photos of the boat as it was taken out for it's first launch:





and afloat:




It took five years for Adastra to be delivered to Hong Kong couple Anto and Elaine Marden, who commissioned a superyacht that could meet their desire for ocean voyaging with the level of comfort and style that would be expected in a yacht of this class and size.

Adastra Interior (renderings designed by Jepsen Designs of China):










“No effort has been spared in the challenge to produce a beautiful yacht that will have low fuel consumption and yet provide excellent sea keeping qualities and luxurious accommodation,” said Orion Shuttleworth, who collaborated on the exterior designs with John Shuttleworth.







The Superstructure is carbon fibre with Nomex honeycomb core, the hull is Glass/Kevlar foam sandwich and the interior is light weight oak cabinetry using honeycomb panels. To help reduce weight, virtually every aspect of the boat is custom built. This includes carbon fibre hatches, portlights, ladders and even hinges, which are all built specifically for the vessel.

Weighing in at 52 tons, the vessel has a maximum speed of 22.5 knots and a range of 4000 nautical miles. She can also be controlled from an iPad within a 50-metre range.

Here's a video of how the yacht can be controlled with an ipad using the iiCaptain app:


Adastra's 16 metre beam creates a spacious saloon area on the main deck which offers superb views through a panoramic window and accommodates a lounge area, dining table and navigation station.

A forward facing door through the saloon window gives easy access to a large sunbed on the foredeck. The aft deck has a sofa and bar area to port and a dining area to starboard, further aft of this there is space for a 4.9 metre tender and directly below is a garage which can store a 3.1 metre tender.

The Aft Deck:






The garage door has been designed to fold out and create a large dive platform. Extra space has been created below deck by slightly flaring the central hull just above the waterline. This area has been split into two sections with a full-width master cabin located aft with access from the deck saloon, and two further guest cabins, accommodation for the crew, and the galley located forward of the engine compartment.

Overhead of the Helm Station:


Adastra offers comfortable accommodation for nine guests and up to six crew members. The main helm station, which has seating for two, is positioned in a raised pilot house situated between the aft deck and the saloon area and forms part of the cross beam structure.
