6. S/Y Pink Gin VI – Baltic Yachts
At 54 metres overall, Pink Gin VI is currently the largest carbon fibre sloop in the world. The basic concept behind her design was to evolve and improve on the success of the smaller Pink Gin V, also built by Baltic Yachts. The work of naval architects Judel Vrolijk & Co, she offers better performance and elegant, timeless hull and superstructure profiles than her predecessor. Pink Gin VI has a plumb stem, an elegant, long overhanging counter and a deep, lifting keel. The interior layout and styling is from the British-based Design Unlimited team, which has worked with the owner on a number of projects.
The design company says Pink Gin VI has “an interior in which texture and surface treatment play a large part in the design. Carefully selected materials will be used to produce a striking interior countered by an elegance and sense of comfort ideal for relaxing during long world cruising passages. The master stateroom is positioned forward and comprises a large, open-plan suite incorporating an impressive and unusual fold-out private balcony for direct access to the sea. A similar balcony is set into the topsides amidships to port, providing direct access to the yacht’s main entrance lobby.”
7. M/Y Seven Sins – Sanlorenzo
Seven Sins is the first of the Sanlorenzo 52 Steel design to be built. Her Belgian owner loves the shipyard’s signature dark-tinted glazing and the privacy afforded to those in the cockpit while berthed in a marina. He also likes the floor-to-ceiling windows in the two saloons, one on the main deck and another on the bridge deck. A man of great taste, examples of his chosen artwork are displayed in a glass exhibition case that is enclosed within the Carrara marble staircase.
His suite of staterooms on the main deck include a private office, a colossal full-beam cabin and an ensuite bathroom.
Artfully sculpted, the bathroom is appropriately dressed in marble sourced from the same area from which Michelangelo carefully selected his stone.
With twin MTU 12V 4000 M63 engines and traditional shaft drives, her carefully researched naval architecture contributes to the yacht’s impressive 17.5-knot top speed, 15-knot cruising speed and extensive 4,000-nautical mile range.
8. S/Y Seven – Perini Navi
Seven is the third vessel in the Perini Navi 60-metre series. A Panamax aluminium ketch, she is a sistership to S/Y Seahawk and S/Y Perseus 3. The shipyard says that, with her gross tonnage of under 500gt and displacement of around 570 tonnes, her innovative hull lines and technological solutions guarantee speed and performance under sail, along with uncompromised comfort and safety.
9. Majesty 100 – Gulf Craft
Built to RINA Commercial Yacht Charter Class, Cayman Islands LY3 (Short Range) and AMSA’s NSCV Code Class 1E and 2C, this superyacht has been optimised for the Australian charter market. The Majesty 100 is the first in Gulf Craft’s collection to have a partially enclosed flybridge, allowing guests sitting within its spacious lounge area to enjoy stunning views at sea or at anchor. On the main deck, floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to flow abundantly through the interior. Two hydraulic, extendable balconies offer charter guests an alfresco experience at the same time as providing access to the yacht’s interior living and entertainment areas. Twin 1,900hp MAN engines enable a top speed of 23 knots via a V-drive propulsion system, with a location that enables increased onboard space and comfort.
10. S/Y Tango – Wally
Measuring 30.5 metres, Tango is the fourth in the Wallycento box-ruled superyacht series and the first to have been developed by Mark Mills of Mills Design. She accommodates six guests, as well as up to four crew. She carries 640 square metres of canvas and under power is able to motor at 11 knots from her 300hp engine. Her all-black exterior and super-flush deck are hugely indicative of the performance lifestyle that this thoroughbred will lead once she is released into the wild.
