✨ A game changer for leisure boat owners ✨ 🥵 Hull cleaning and painting are often the most time-consuming maintenance tasks for boat owners. Today Hempel A/S introduces Infinity, a revolutionary water-based and biocide-free recharger that renews the hydrogel in Hempel’s silicone paint systems for the Yacht market, such as Silic One and Hempasil Pro. Infinity extends the paint-free period of Hempel’s silicone hull systems by an extra season ✅ The result? More time sailing, less time painting ⛵ “Hempel’s Infinity is our most significant innovation in the Yacht sector since the launch of Hempel’s Silic One back in 2012,” says Thomas Olsen, Marketing Director - Yacht at Hempel. “It has been designed with boat owners’ time and money in mind, enabling them to maintain performance excellence year after year, in a more sustainable way.

Fastmount Marine Case Study No.3 BALTIC YACHTS, WIN WIN, SAILING YACHT OF THE YEAR 2015 Once again Fastmount has teamed up with an award-winning yacht, this time being Baltic Yachts‘ 108ft all-carbon sloop WinWin, which took out best sailing yacht under 40m and best sailing yacht overall at the World Superyacht Awards in Amsterdam in 2015. As a builder of high-performance, tailor-made carbon sailing yachts, Baltic required panel mounting that would stand the test of time…and some serious sailing. The distinctly Scandinavian-style, minimal interior by Design Unlimited saw the abundant use of various Fastmount clips. “When I visited METS in 2013 and saw different options for mounting panels, I became more convinced that Fastmount was the right type of fastener to introduce to our sailboats. The advantage was firstly the large selection of products for different uses, and secondly that the products are designed to work well even after extended periods of use. Panel mounting accessories and tools have been designed to make assembly even faster. In our yachts the panel must always be in the right place, even after being removed several times.” – Bengt Osman, Interior/Purchasing, Baltic Yachts More than 4,000 Fastmount clips were used throughout the interior of WinWin. The ceiling and wall panels were mounted using a combination of the LP-SM8 and the LP-F8 or LP-DF8 depending on the location of the panel and substrate. The LP-DF8 was used for its ability to screw into composite foam core substrates (ceiling frames). The low-profile nature of the clips meant that valuable space was not lost. In areas where space was even more of a minimum, the very low profile, surface mount VL-03 was used. As an example of an ongoing trend in the use of Fastmount in superyachts, the metal MC-05 clip set was used throughout the yacht to securely mount the carbon floorboards inside the boat. The metal clip system ensured a completely secure fixing while retaining the convenience of removability to access under the floorboards. https://lnkd.in/ecpFPWks #fastmount #panelmounting #fastmountclips #yachtfitout #interiordesign

https://ift.tt/2vINOeq Contest 63CS first look: New superyacht quality 63 footer The new Contest 63CS offers a semi-custom fitout and while it may not quite be superyacht size, it's definitely got the quality What a beauty! This Judel Vrolijk shape is now familiar to the range from the Dutch family-run yard. This first hull is tricked up with an optional deeper 3.4m keel and a taller carbon mast with in-boom furling as its owner wants to do the odd regatta in between cruising with family. The Contest 63CS is right on the size limit of being manageable by an owner-operator –indeed this first one has a crew cabin. Powered systems that are easy to operate from the helm pedestals are key, and include the neat furling system integrated in the bowsprit for the Code or Helix sails. Further headsail options include, genoa, self-tacking jib and inner staysail. The design of the twin helm seats is a commendable feature as these both swivel and slide to help create a lounge area around the huge aft deck. A collapsible table which stows in the aft hatch lid helps to make the most of what is often a flat, unused sun pad space. Step below decks and you find a seriously impressive, tasteful interior by Wetzels Brown Partners offered in teak or oak. (Contest’s long-term design partners are currently working on the 85m sloop in build at Royal Huisman.) The semi-custom layout revolves around the raised saloon and deep, long passageway galley – a two-sided format Contest always prefers for safety when sailing. “The master aft cabin is what we think will be the most popular, the galley and saloon stays and you can play with the rest,” Contest’s CEO Arjen Conijn tells me. Enter the aft cabin and you can see why he can have conviction in such a statement. It includes Contest’s aft facing window, which comes into play when the swim platform is lowered. The Contest63CS is available with four or five cabins, three of them en suite. The show boat’s portside forward cabin links to a forepeak skipper’s cabin via the shower compartment. This can be a large sail locker, a utility work room or crew cabin. Contest uses the term superyachting in its literature, referring to the size and sailing with a paid crew. But it’s the finish quality that smacks of superyacht class.
