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.

New Products for YachtLite


FloorLite – WALK ON LIGHT

YACHTLITE’s brand new product – an inspiration to designers and architects in particular

FloorLites are homogeneous light inlays for teak decks or steps.

The elements are - as with all YACHTLITE products - made of solid, and here very special, acrylic in which the LEDs are safely sealed. These treadable elements, made with a special front surface, are levelly embedded into the flooring and can even be sanded for later refits in one process together with the teak. The element shown here is approximately 30 cm diametere with a height of about 3 cm. FloorLites are available in any form and colour, also with RGB colour change. The cable outlet can be freely selected.

FloorLites are perfect for teak decks, steps and flooring ... ideas are formed as soon as a designer sees and experiences the product!

Impressive Lighting Concepts
YACHTLITE deliveries reach New Zealand


2010 is again a very dynamic year for YACHTLITE. Many well-known shipyards and customers continue to rely on YACHTLITE’s expertise. The proof lies in the ever-increasing number of projects and customers.

The result is a very considerable number of spectacular deliveries in 2010.  YACHTLITE is understandably proud of its major projects for Lürssen (Radiant, Solemates, „Josie“), Kröger Werft (Phoenix², „Hermitage“), Abeking&Rasmussen with „Titan“, Amels (BelAbri, Addiction), Al Seer Marine (Rabdan, Sarha) and, not the least, for Nobiskrug with „Sycara V“ and „Sapphire“.

Inquiries about new, increasingly extravagant, light solutions confirm that quality supplier YACHTLITE’s expert workmanship has become a constant by all international leading productions. Illuminating, treadable surfaces in flooring and on stairs is the current number one topic.  The response to the new product “FloorLite” has been remarkable.

The most innovative technologies ensure increasingly perfect light representations, top-level manufacturing equipment promises perfect customization. Recently YACHTLITE delivered absolutely spectacular illumination presentations to Overmarine for “RUSH” and, above all, as far away as New Zealand for the much talked about “Big Fish” from Aquos Yachts. YACHTLITE is truly globally present!

“Big Fish” will be making a grand appearance at the FLIBS.
