At least one 40m Sunseeker sold at last week’s Dubai International Boat Show

The SuperYachts Directory team was pleased to see that UK-based Sunseeker sold one of its flagship 40-metre super yachts to a Middle East buyer at last week’s Dubai International Boat Show, held at the Dubai International Marine Club, Mina Seyahi.

According to Sunseeker, the 40 Metre Yacht, which debuted at the PSP Southampton Boat Show in 2010, has been specifically designed for extended cruising. Anyone who recalls the impact Tanvas had at Southampton will understand its appeal.

RINA Unrestricted for blue water superyacht cruising

With its ‘sculptural side profile’ and ‘gentle cascade aft of the tri-deck design’ this super yacht has been designed and built for blue water cruising. As a logical development of Sunseeker’s popular 37 Metre Yacht, the vessel combines the best of the smaller boats with balconies and more exterior deck space for up to 12 guests and seven crew.

 

Checking the spec reveals 26-knot capability and up to 1500 nautical miles’ range – pretty much Greece to Gibraltar without refuelling. We also understand that as well as being constructed to RINA Pleasure and optional RINA Charter/MCA LY2 Unrestricted codes, this super yacht falls conveniently within the critical 350 gross tonne volume threshold – an important consideration for charterers.

Palatial super yacht style

Quite rightly, Sunseeker use the term palatial to describe their 40m superyacht. As at Southampton, we were impressed by its accommodation and the clever layout that allows crew to move discreetly about the boat. And of course, that lucky buyer will enjoy a huge choice of cabin configurations and optional extras.

Latest news up-dates from Veedon Fleece Rug Collection.

VEEDON FLEECE COLLECTION 2011
Launched at Decorex International

London, 2010

For 2010/2011 Veedon Fleece has created four new carpet designs inspired by great works from the past three centuries; each with regard for the 21^st Century interior.

Sun King 

The original influence inspired by an 18^th Century cabinet designed by Philippe Montigny, which now resides in The Getty Museum.  Here restricted to three distinct colours, giving the finished carpet the depth and gravitas that its final placement demands. 

Woven in 100% luxurious silk.  400cm by 280cm

Old English  Soho

Imagine in the early 18^th Century the delight in the exquisite colour of elegant but opulent Soho tapestries woven in London.  This particular carpet pays homage to the original, which is believed to have been woven circa 1730.    It is thanks to our brilliant veedon yarns that we are now able to capture not only the exquisite balance, but jewel like character of this highly prized treasure from a world full of both the confidence and trepidations of today.  Woven in subtle veedon yarn.    420cm by 350cm

Josephine

This Damask, reminiscent of the great French Empire, is a more feminine design than our much admired and versatile classical damask design. 

We have created two different variations of this beautiful design; one in pure silk, with an expanded number of colours which is closer to the antique; the bi coloured version woven in soft green and subtle sea blue looks strikingly contemporary and will add a touch of timeless elegance to any room.

Woven in veedon and silk and all silk.  300cm by 240cm and 200cm by 150cm

Ruffled Feathers by Wendy Bray

A 20^th Century British design.  Feathers are extremely difficult to portray in this sort of diffused way but it is only by twisting and perhaps ruffling these delicate forms that the sort of movement that makes a good carpet great, can be evolved.  The eye is encouraged to dance around the carpet uniting any room in colour and form, making this bold, but joyous design, an easy delight for almost any interior. 

Woven in veedon. 280cm by 180cm

Working with architects and designers on a purely bespoke basis for residential and commercial interiors, every Veedon Fleece commission is made exclusively to client specification using muga, pashmina, silk, veedon and best hand spun Tibetan wool.

Choose from Veedon Fleece’s extensive archive collection of classical and contemporary designs or provide us with your design interpretation.

Veritais Awarded AV Contract for Listed Property

Veritais has been awarded the AV contract to supply, install and commission a distributed music, movie, DVB-T, FM and satellite system throughout a large listed property in Warwickshire.  Internet access points, wireless equipment and aerials will also be supplied.

The property is split into ten zones, including 5 bedrooms, and provides distributed audio and movies from a 2TB central media server, both DVB-T and SKY TV distribution and features audiophile loudspeakers and subwoofers in all zones.  Control of the system is provided by a number of easy to use touch screen remote controls.

Central equipment includes a Blu-ray recorder with in-built Freesat tuner, allowing full HD playback and recording of Sky and digital TV channels, with audio content streamed from the central server via wireless audio hubs in each zone.  A 24-port network switch allows the 2TB server to be accessed via local CAT6 outlets, so movies and other media content can be stored and distributed through a number of DLNA TVs throughout the property.
The Drawing Room features a high quality 5.1 surround sound amplifier, with local iPod input and state-of-the-art concealed in-wall loudspeakers and subwoofer.  A concealed 46” plasma DLNA TV is accessed using a motorised lift mechanism rising from under the floor and activated using the touch screen remote control.

The Kitchen/Breakfast area also features a concealed 46” plasma TV behind a mirror and revealed using a heavy-duty electric lift to maneuver the mirror when access to the TV is required.

The Dining Room also features a 46” plasma TV mounted on ultra slim bracket and connected via DLNA to the central server for movie content.  Flush, ceiling mount loudspeakers will be installed and allow music playback from the central server and local wireless audio hub.

All five bedrooms will be ‘future-proofed’ with CAT6 and TV access points, plus RJ45 access for internet connectivity.

Veritais will begin shipping preliminary components over the next few weeks with project completion due in April 2011

PERI YACHTS LAUNCHES FLAGSHIP PERI 41T

PERI YACHTS LAUNCHES FLAGSHIP PERI 41T

Peri Yachts launched her flagship Peri 41 T last week in Antalya. Given the name “Bibich Too” she will be handed over to her owners in January 2011 following  sea trial preparations and final fit-out . The 41T was conceived by Scaro Design, Istanbul’s award-winning design group, creating her external lines and her interior, while the UK’s renowned Dixon Yacht Design engineered her planing V hull and High Modulus carried out all the scantling and structural calculations.
The Peri 41T has the elongated, aerodynamic grace of today’s most coveted high-end cars, and the same attention to graphically beautiful detailing. Along with her ultra-modern lines, her greatest gift to her owner is the lavish increase in living space. The 41 T  features spacious accommodation and extensive amenities for 12 guests, including a private owner’s deck with a large separate master stateroom with study and private terrace.
The 41T offers the rare quality of looking equally impressive from the rear. The reason is its massive lazarette door, which, when closed, gives a sheer vertical line to the stern and transforms into a vast swimming platform and beach club. The colorful and delicate touches of the styling of the yacht witness the extend of the owners involment in the project.
The 41T hosts up to 12(+2) people in 6 cabins and   9 crew in 4 double and a captain’s cabin. Powered by twin 3,450hp MTU 12V 4000 M93L engines, she has a top speed of 25 knots 1,250 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 19 knots.
Peri Yachts has already been commissioned the second 41T due in June 2012 apart of her two Peri 37 and two Peri 29 to be launched in Spring/Summer 2011.

News Up date from Sea Island Coffee

Sea Island Coffee becomes Home of Kopi Luwak Coffee with the Launch of the Civet Cat Coffee Collection

Sea Island Coffee Ltd., one of Europe’s leading specialists in exotic coffees, has announced the launch of a collection of Kopi Luwak Civet Cat coffees and set down its claim to be the Kopi Luwak coffee specialist in Europe via its website at www.seaislandcoffee.com as seen on Super Yachts Directory.

Guy Wilmot of Sea Island Coffee said, “There is a lot of hype and press about Kopi Luwak coffee and it’s finally entering the mainstream. We get orders from all over the world from Norway and Saudi Arabia to the Shetland Islands and we get a lot of feedback from our customers about it. Mainly, they send messages about how the flavour is unique and long-lasting, but also that they make great presents and dinner party treats.”

Sea Island Coffee currently offers four Kopi Luwaks with plans for more single origin Civet Cat coffees in the future. Guy Wilmot said, “We really want Sea Island Coffee to be the home of Kopi Luwak coffee in the future. Our company already specializes in rare and exotic coffees including Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaii Kona, so this was a natural progression for us.

Sea Island Coffee, found online at www.seaislandcoffee.com, is based in Knightsbridge, London and specializes in sourcing the rarest coffees in the world.

Together, the partners have over 50 years of experience in growing, sourcing and importing rare, exotic, luxury coffees into Europe and the Far East. The team at Sea Island Coffee created the concept of “exotic coffees” by finding the kinds of coffees known only to very few, very discerning coffee drinkers and characterized by wonderful stories and very limited production. Each coffee offered delivers a wonderful and unique combination of taste, body, aroma and provenance.
