Man the washrooms

For men high-rolling on the high seas, there’s no time for a high-maintenance grooming routine. So thankfully some of this season’s newest offerings have been designed with the hardy alpha male in mind. First, power tools for deep cleansing. Clinique For Men’s new Charcoal Face Wash (£18, clinique.co.uk) is a great pore purger that should be lathered on to your skin with the brand’s dinky Sonic System Cleansing Brush (£79). This brilliant gadget works a bit like an electric toothbrush to slough off salt, sweat and sunscreen, leaving skin prepped for a clean, close shave. Razor at the ready? Might we recommend Acqua Di Parma’s new Shaving Razor Fusion Proglide di Gillette (£240, acquadiparma.com). A thing of beauty, it’s been crafted with water-resistant wengé wood and burnished brass. Use it with the…

HELIOS 2: $17.5 MILLION Built in aluminium by Palmer Johnson to a design by Sparkman & Stephens, 51.2m Helios 2 was delivered in 2002 and has had many upgrades. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in five cabins and she is listed for sale by Fraser Yachts. ARKLEY: POA The 60m Arkley is listed for sale by Imperial Yachts in Monaco. Built in steel and aluminium by Lürssen to a design by Espen Øino, she was delivered in 2009 and won the Yacht of the Year trophy at the 2010 World Superyacht Awards. J’ADE: €36.95 MILLION The 58.2m J’Ade has come on to the market for the first time, listed by Burgess. Built in steel and aluminium by CRN, she was delivered in 2013 and has been only lightly used privately since. Generous accommodation…

The light fantastic

If you’re a boat owner you’ll know all about making a big effort to have a lot of fun, especially if it means getting from A to B in the process. Well, you can’t have much more fun – even if it’s somewhat impractical fun – than with the two sports car models currently available from the fledgeling marque Zenos. Zenos was founded in 2013 with the aim of bringing something new to the increasingly popular area of the market populated by cars that are sufficiently extreme to perform brilliantly on a race track, but which are also designed for use on the road. It’s an idea that was first expressed by Colin Chapman with the introduction of the Lotus Seven in the late 1950s. But the automotive business has come a…

The light fantastic

Luke Leitch meets the man behind Orlebar Brown Safe on land-locked Westbourne Grove in west London, Adam Brown contemplates his Americano, then confesses. “I am not a natural yachtsman. I’ve always loved the sea and I surf a lot, most often in Cornwall. But I’ll never forget learning to sail as a schoolboy in the Solent: that misery of having to capsize, again and again and again, in the freezing water. They thought it was character-forming, I suppose.” In a way, though, his teachers were correct: the experience formed Brown’s keenness to avoid any chance of repeated dousings. This is ironic given that today his name – or at least half of it – can be found aboard many of the ocean’s finest craft, stitched into the clothing worn by crew and…

From the Cannes Film Festival to the Monaco Grand Prix, the world’s most glamorous events invariably attract a host of exquisite superyachts. But what to wear when a party at the Monaco Yacht Club calls for something a little more special than your average boat shoe? Take heed of neighbouring celebrity charterers and look to Jimmy Choo. The British brand has come a long way since its beginnings in London’s East End. Now headed by the eponymous designer’s niece, Sandra Choi, it is the go-to label for everyone from rapper Tinie Tempah to Oscar-winner Jared Leto and even a head of state or two. With their polished patent leather and discreet buckle design, these Patrick monk-strap shoes are the ideal finish to any tux or business suit. Zoe Dickens Patrick patent leather monk-strap…

THE ASCENT OF FAN

The TriFan 600 VTOL doesn’t exactly conform to the traditional blueprint for private jets. For one, it’s not exactly a jet, preferring a combination of twin, high-performance turboshaft engines and three ducted fans to fly you from A to VIP. It’s this latter design quirk that truly sets this fixed-wing, carbon fibre and epoxy aircraft apart from the competition, as the positional fans allow the pilot to take off and land vertically from a spot no larger than a helipad, thus removing the age-old inconvenience of airport transfers. With room for five passengers, a maximum cruising speed of 340 knots, flight range of up to 1,200 miles and the ability to fly above the weather at altitudes of 30,000 feet, its makers see it as the future of long-distance, door-to-door…

ANGELIC ARRIVAL

Feadship has launched its 57m motor yacht Halo, inspired by the owner’s chartering experience on the 45m Feadship Megan (ex-Helix). Similarities between Halo and Megan can be seen in the rectangular hull windows, but elsewhere the owners asked Eidsgaard Design to pen a more radical exterior. “From a quarter-front view, the signature silver arches appear to run up, over and down the aft end of the yacht,” says Peder Eidsgaard. Inside, Bernardi Peschard, in its first superyacht interior, has used a modern décor with light oak and bronze inlays. Halo has been designed with world cruising in mind, boasting a cruising speed of 16 knots and a range of 5,000nm. feadship.nl £67,000...raised by Mariquita vs Eleonora match race for disabled charity Wetwheels…

ANGELIC ARRIVAL

Bond watches at auction

When Roger Moore’s 007 was left tethered to a gantry above a pool full of sharks in Live and Let Die, he simply sliced through the ropes with the buzz-saw bezel of his Rolex Submariner. It was among the lots at a James Bond auction in 1998 where it fetched £21,850 – but crossed the block again in 2011, this time making a profitable €200,402. Almost more impressive was the Breitling Top Time (pictured below) picked up for £25 at a car boot sale: this turned out to be the original watch worn by Sean Connery as 007 in Thunderball. Bond buffs will recall that the storyline sent the agent on a mission to find two atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, a good reason for Q Branch to equip the Breitling with…

Catch the racing bug

As an entrepreneur and partner in the B&L Group, Albert Büll is no stranger to the concept of perfection. His real estate and property development business is testament to the years he has spent practising the art of fine-tuning. It’s a principle that he has applied to his other passion – sailing, and in particular to big boat racing. His yacht, the Bill Tripp-designed 45 metre Saudade, is that perfect compromise between luxurious cruiser and consistent performance racer and Büll, who took delivery of the yacht in 2008, was quick to embrace her potential. “I first took part in the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in 2010,” he says, “and I have competed in five since then, including four in Sardinia and one in the Caribbean.” At the Loro Piana regatta in Sardinia…

Not just a pretty face

As well as a BMW, Pierce Brosnan’s 007 had an Omega Seamaster with laser-beam cutter and explosive detonator Sharp-eyed cinema goers should easily be able to clock 007’s latest wrist wear during its several appearances in the latest Bond film, Spectre: it’s an Omega Seamaster 300 on a special, black and grey-striped NATO-style strap. And, for the first time during Omega’s 20-year role as James Bond’s official watchmaker, it is possible to buy an exact replica of the model worn in the film in the form of the £4,785 special edition you see pictured above, which will be made in a “limited” edition of 7,007 examples. Alternatively, Omega will also sell you one of 15,007 £4,630 Seamaster Aqua Terra models with the Bond coat of arms on the dial , also marketed…

Not just a pretty face

I’ve just got back from Gothenburg and it was great to be racing again at the second Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series event of 2015. This was a very different environment for Land Rover BAR, after the initial event in Portsmouth. The geography was different, being a much smaller racecourse, with submerged rocks and flatter water. We had a really exciting practice day on the Friday. It was right on the edge of being sailable, with 20-25 knots of wind. Since it was the practice day, we did have the discussion about protecting our assets (that being the AC45F race boat) and not pushing too hard, particularly after seeing Artemis capsize. Then Jono Macbeth, our sailing team manager, checked the rules and realised that we were potentially up against a…

On board with LEONARDO FERRAGAMO

OPPORTUNISM RUNS THICK IN THE FERRAGAMO FAMILY BLOOD. When the 1929 crash abruptly brought the United States to a halt, Salvatore, a young Italian who had been wooing Hollywood with his shoe-making skills, quietly packed his bags and returned home. A couple of years later, despite Mussolini’s sanctions, his newly created “wedge shoe” – involving a heel made of solid cork – was so popular that it allowed him to buy parts of the Palazzo Spini Feroni, a majestic, medieval palace in the heart of Florence. No sooner had WWII ended than Salvatore’s revolutionary metal stiletto heel and gold sandals took off – with a little help from Marilyn Monroe – enabling him to buy the whole Palazzo and, more crucially, symbolise Italy’s return to life via what it had…

On board with LEONARDO FERRAGAMO

The spy who hugged me Daniel Craig, whose James Bond is about to hit cinemas for the fourth time in Spectre, has been praised for endowing the least-secret secret agent in history with authentic brutishness. The 007 of Ian Fleming’s novels was not the gentleman lothario who has sauntered through half a century of films: he was a killer in a tux. True to this model, Craig recently described his Bond as lonely and sad – characteristics impossible to imagine of Roger Moore’s jovial smoothie. Photographer Keith Hamshere worked on Bond films as part of the crew, shooting still images for special effects and publicity purposes. He too remembers the Moore years as full of “laughter and fun”. Yet, despite the big grin here, the Moore film For Your Eyes Only…

What is it? The 95 metre motor yacht Indian Empress (ex Al-Mirqab), with exteriors by Richard Hein and interiors by the A Group, launched by Oceanco in 2000. The vast yacht is fresh from an extensive refit – see Boat International December for the full feature. Why we love it: She’s famous for the starry parties on her sprawling aft bridge deck. There are flowing rounds of seating, a marble bar and space to dance, with a DJ positioned on the sundeck above. Design genius: Refit with a light touch: out came the spa pool on the shaded upper deck and dated red upholstery on the bridge deck; in went a huge alfresco eating area and chic cream tones. Perfect for: Popular people. The upper aft-deck table alone can seat about 30; hold a party and you’ll…

The world watched agog in 2008 as Motor Yacht A was launched by Blohm+Voss in Germany. Very little was known about the super-secret 119 metre project until photos of the finished hull on sea trials started making their way on to the pages of yachting magazines and newspapers the world over. Bearing the signature of French designer Philippe Starck, Motor Yacht A trod totally new ground, not so much pushing boundaries as obliterating them. Now Motor Yacht A’s owners, Andrey and Aleksandra Melnichenko, are making headlines all over again with an even bolder project. Until now the only sightings of this vessel have come from yacht spotters long-lensing her from the water outside the shipyard, but Boat International has been given exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to this extraordinary construction, becoming the only…

Lightness was key to the design of the 33m Nauta Air 108, the new flagship in-build at Cantiere delle Marche. As Mario Pedol, founder of Italian studio Nauta Yachts, says: “In designing superyachts, we always follow our fundamental idea of lightness in both senses of this word: a rational superstructure, visual weight and a sense of brightness.” Thus, the Nauta Air 108 will have a semi-wide body shape, allowing the full-beam owner’s cabin to spread out over 26m , lit by large windows. “The interior decoration is light and fresh, with sand colours and whitened oak veneer,” says Pedol. There may be an even bigger project in the mix as the owner of the Nauta Air 90 Noga has revealed to BI that he’s interested in building a Nauta Air 114.…

I never leave home without…

I’m currently reading the travel diaries of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austra-Hungary. It’s an amazing read, as he chronicles his trip around the world from 1982-93. Sadly, I don’t think it’s available in English. My music choices on board are largely dictated by my children, and they’re listening to a lot of deep house right now. I’m not one for fancy watches on the water. A simple, unbreakable Swatch is all I need. I take my iPad absolutely everywhere. As a way of keeping in touch quickly and easily, nothing beats it. My sunglasses are Ray-Ban Aviators. Love them. The first thing I pack is actually a compass. Despite all the technology on board, I wouldn’t feel right without it. I forget pack suncream– always. Luckily my crew have a good stash on board. The first thing I do…

EDITORS’ LETTERS

Occasionally, my job title raises eyebrows in certain circles. The less creative mind fails to understand how an editor can move from “luxury magazines”, from whence I came, to a “boat magazine”. I respond with similar surprise, for what could better capture luxuriousness than a superyacht – a five-star floating hotel owned by the world’s most successful and stylish people? A recent trip to Florence to meet Leonardo Ferragamo, chairman of Nautor’s Swan, reminded me of this when I fell into the same trap. Leonardo used to head up the menswear division of his family’s famous shoe and fashion empire, and I asked what it was like to move from fashion to boats. “It’s no different,” he said, bluntly. “They both rely on quality, craftsmanship and heritage. He chuckled, “And…

This sumptuous tome charts the life of Laurence Graff from London’s East End to an international jewellery empire. Contributors, from Vogue International editor Suzy Menkes to jewel historian Vivienne Becker, delve into his story, but iconic images of jewels and jewellery also tell the tale – including a 1970 ad of a model with a million dollars-worth of gems woven into her elaborate hairstyle, Graff arranging a model by a yacht on a 1980s photoshoot, and ultra-slick 21st century magazine spreads. Spotlights on famous gems are fascinating, particularly the lemon-yellow Delaire Sunrise and the 603-carat Lesotho Promise, which Graff cut into a necklace of 26 perfect stones. But the most absorbing element of the book is Graff’s indomitable character, with a self-taught eye for gems and a confidence that rivals…

Misahara, the New York fine jewellery brand beloved of Cindy Crawford and Nicole Scherzinger, is bringing its wares to London this autumn with a residency at the House of Luxury. Misahara is a brand long favoured in yachting circles. Its flagship store in Porto Montenegro – along with a smaller boutique just along the coast at the Regent hotel – are must-visits while berthed in the superyacht hot spot and rarely does a visitor leave without at least one new purchase.

Contemporary designs glitter with peridot and emeralds while a Turkish Evil Eye is picked out in sapphires and diamonds and classic statement…

Lippy from the Liffey

I can’t wait to see the new Bond movie. They have an amazing cinema here in Monaco: it’s outdoors – in the palace grounds – and they project the film on to the rocks. Grub is brought to you and you can even have a drink. There’s no better film experience, trust me. It’s all a bit different to my first Bond experiences as a young boy. I remember queuing for ages at the Adelphi cinema in Dublin to see the latest Bond movie, trying desperately to get a seat at the afternoon matinée because that was the only chance you’d have of getting in. It was just like waiting for the next Elvis single to be released. Roger Moore took over as Bond when I got a bit older. I know…

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD

There’s something seriously wrong in the world of boat design. Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard, the duo behind Italian firm Nuvolari Lenard, call it “averaging”, the abuse of computers in the early phase of a yacht’s design. “Look at this shape,” Lenard says when we meet in the studio’s impressive modernist offices not far from Venice. “It’s done with my hand, using a spline. A computer is not able to replicate that curve.” Too many designers are starting the creative process on a screen using 3D modelling, the pair insist, and the art of sitting down, pencil in hand, and agonising over a boat design is being lost. Software, meanwhile, has resulted in a market engorged with 3D models, drowning out the quality designs and making them harder to find. “It’s…

Dubourdieu, the oldest shipyard in France, has collaborated with avant-garde fashion house Courrèges on a 13m motorboat. The yard, situated in the Arcachon basin, builds the region’s famous pinasse: flat-bottomed motorboats originally designed for oyster farming. Featured in films such as Marion Cotillard’s 2010 Les Petits Mouchoirs, they have earned Dubourdieu cult status in France. The first limited-edition White Ocean motorboat has an interior in Courrèges’s signature palette of white, silver, mirror and Plexiglas, with a sea mist-grey hull. Exterior mahogany and teak has been left unvarnished to weather to a similar light blue-grey.

INSTANT CLASSIC

Taransay may look like a 1930s boat – but rather than go to the trouble and expense of restoring a crumbling oldie, the owner built one from scratch: brand new, but utterly traditional Why would anyone choose to build a 1930s-style yacht today? I can’t get that question out of my head as the newly built 40-metre Taransay hangs above me in a travel lift at the Rossinavi shipyard in Viareggio, ready for launch. The style absolutely demands small, limiting windows, a relatively low volume compared to modern, similarly sized platforms and the added challenge of hiding today’s complicated systems in a classic-looking package. A few months later, in Venice, I’m on board the boat for the first time and Taransay’s captain, Marco Santoro, is giving me the answer, shortly before leaving…

Chef ’s corner

My style of cooking is Mediterranean: a rustic, family approach. I also did a course in Thailand and I am always trying to capture the flavours of their stunning street food. Some of the top markets for provisioning are in Croatia. In Hvar you have to dodge the bees because of all the cheese, oils and honeys. And the figs are fantastic. My favourite dish to cook on board is mushroom risotto, a one-pot wonder that can be made at any angle. One of the most useful skills is being able to substitute flavours when you cannot get what you need: for example, coriander is impossible to find in Italy. My top tip is to chop and prep first. I have found myself wedged in the galley at 25 to…

Patek Philippe Calatrava The original Calatrava appeared in 1932, inspired by the “form and function” principle of Bauhaus. It remains the quintessential dress watch: despite its lack of adornment, it speaks volumes for the horological understanding of its wearer.

The 56TH FORT LAUDERDALE BOAT SHOW

Fort Lauderdale is the biggest superyacht show in the US, both in terms of its importance in the calendar and its 280,000 square-metre site. The fact that German builder Lürssen has chosen Fort Lauderdale over the Monaco Yacht Show for the world debut of 95.2m Kismet speaks to the event’s status. A strong market has lured plenty of other European builders – and their yachts – over the Atlantic, and there are plenty of home-grown boats to contend with. The largest yachts are on display at Sails Marina, while the main throng is packed around Bahia Mar Yachting Center on the oceanfront. The scale of this show means you get everything from the very biggest pleasure boats afloat to outfits that teach you to free-dive or use your drone. Useful…

Like those impressive peaks rising imperiously inland, the 63 metre yacht is a towering structure, the master of all she surveys. And there are other qualities she shares with the local terrain. “The boat is steady like a rock,” her captain Heimo Tauern noted after returning from the first sea trials, which took place just a few miles offshore, “even empty and without the stabilisers.” Irimari’s maiden voyage through the Rhodes Canal confirmed his assessments. “Even with three-metre waves on her nose, she travels quiet and sturdy,” he says. Swells are no trouble at all and she smoothly reaches a top speed of 16.5 knots. Irimari is an impressive vessel with six…

SPEARFISHING The dos and don’ts

DO Get trained in free-diving technique “Going at it without a solid foundation is dangerous,” says Ian Miller. World-class instructors, such as 13-time spearfishing world record-holder Cameron Kirkconnell (cameronkirkconnell.com) teach the skills needed. Get the right gear This includes snorkel, mask, fins, dive suit, weight belt and floats. Spearguns are prohibited in the Bahamas, so divers must work with pole spears or Hawaiian slings. Know your fish It’s important for conservation and sustainability, as well as ensuring you abide by local fish and wildlife service regulations, which dictate seasons and size requirements for species. DON’T Cower at the sharks “You have to show them you’re alpha,” Ducote says. “If a shark comes at you, swim towards him and assert your dominance.” A person has a large presence in water. Most sharks take note. Dive alone “It’s…

Mia Elise Displaying wine in coolers makes a feature of the bridge-deck lobby and adds to a residential feeling aboard 49.9m Trinity Mia Elise. Moonraker Chic glass and chrome panels show off perfectly organised wine – and a humidor – on 49.9m Mangusta Moonraker. Asya Bannenberg & Rowell’s interior for this 47m Heesen has wine storage with sensible racking and glamorous lighting A2 Gimballed storage spheres on 47m A2 are not just an artistic touch: they help protect the wine from cracks and bumps at sea. Paraffin The 60m Paraffin has space on board for up to 400 bottles of the best vintages, with 200 stored in this beautiful display case near the formal dining area. Suerte The wine wall on board Tankoa’s 69m yacht is as much a work of art as the installation above it. See the full feature…

The thin wisps of island in the Bahamas attract a treasure trove of fish to their sheltered, gin-clear waters and deep drops. The big – and delicious – trophy fish wahoo, tuna and marlin are found in healthy numbers and prodigious size. This itinerary, from Captain Kevin Kates of Easy Rider, concentrates on a few of the richest fishing grounds to give guests as much time as possible to tussle with their camera-worthy catch – and enjoy spectacular seafood feasts. DAY 1 Arrive at Nassau and settle on board Easy Rider at Atlantis Marina before departing for Cape Eleuthera Marina, where the yacht will spend the night, lapped on two sides by the glassy blue waters of Exuma Sound and Rock Sound. Enjoy a chef-prepared dinner while watching the first of many…

How cold got hot

Fashion and function aren’t always the happiest of bedfellows. So when Moncler announced it would be teaming up with hot London designer Erdem Moralioglu to reinvent the brand’s signature puffer jacket, the interest of fashionable figures in the world’s colder climes was certainly piqued. Doing away with traditional quilting – and his own signature prints – Moralioglu used an Arctic palette of grey, white and black to create a vintage collection inspired by an imaginary Russian royal family travelling through the Soviet Union in the 1960s. It may sound bleak, but the result is rather romantic. Snow-white capes are trimmed with expanses of silver fox fur, and slate-coloured princess coats are lined with cosy shearling. Padded fur shawls exaggerate shoulders to Game of Thrones proportions while Swarovski crystal embellishment and embroidery bring…

How cold got hot

Strange things are afoot outside my local motor factories. The car park is full of boy-racer specials, with loud exhausts and matt-black paint jobs. It’s all the rage in high-end vehicles, after all. But these budget-conscious modders have a new way of applying tricky paint schemes to their pride-and-joys – they’ve taken to wrapping. Vinyl wraps have been around for a while. In fact, for yachts and, in particular, smaller racing sailing yachts, it’s common to cover your gelcoat with a colour du jour – perhaps to plaster sponsors’ logos over the hull, or to get the yacht to match your Porsche’s metallic blue. But this small-boat practice is creeping up the ladder. The Wild Group has been wrapping boats since 1995 but a couple of recent projects have put superyacht…

As much of a celebrity as its business mogul owner, Alan Sugar’s 55m Lady A is undergoing a major refit at Burgess Marine in Portsmouth. The yacht, formerly Southern Cross III, was designed by Jon Bannenberg and launched by Nishii Zosen-Sterling in 1986. With sweeping aft deck-stairs and gill-like upper deck windows, she’s one of the most distinctive yachts afloat. Burgess Marine will undertake minor structural, mechanical and electrical modifications, install new Naiad stabilisers, spruce up the interior and exterior styling and give the exterior a new paint scheme. burgessmarine.co.uk…

Maia Luxury Resort & Spa, Seychelles The hushed villas at this Seychellois hideaway are so discreetly tucked into the native flora that the only person likely to wander past your door is your private butler. But in the crystal waters around Mahé island it is as busy as a city-centre rush hour (for fish). Take out your boat, or one of the many sportsfishers for charter here, and once you’ve landed your catch, the resort’s chefs will prepare it in any style you like, from barbeque to sashimi. It can be served in the restaurant, on the beach, on the helipad or back in the sublime quiet of your villa. www.maia.com.sc…

Rosehearty heels hard at the Perini Navi Cup This is what 35 knots of wind does to a 56 metre, 500-tonne boat, props out of the water and all. Days one and two at the Perini Navi Cup in September saw light airs, shortened courses and lots of big boats with breathless sails. Day three dawned a little different, with a blg blow testing sailing skills to the limit. On board Roseheaty, pro sailors Paul Cayard and Chris Draper kept their cool, leading the boat to two bullets and a third – enough to see them win the event overall. This Month: Sir Ben Ainslie looks back on his third in Gothenburg, Roger Moore is shark bait and a rash of yacht sinkings…

TRAGEDY TRAILING IN HER WAKE

In the words of veteran photographer Gilles Martin-Raget, Creole is “a boat outside all the norms of size, aesthetics and history”. Certainly, at 63.03 metres, the three-masted schooner is rated the world’s largest wooden sailing yacht and her beauty is unquestionable. Yet it is the word “history” that resonates here because Creole’s back story is interlaced with suicide, jealousy and murder – beyond most norms, certainly. Sailors tend to be superstitious souls and “the curse of Creole” is a phrase not unknown in yachting lore. It seemed it had struck again when it was reported from Italy that the vessel’s owners, Alessandra and Allegra Gucci, were being investigated for alleged tax dodging. How is it possible, a rational person might ask, for a boat to infect its owners with ill…

The name is Martin, Aston Martin

With all things James Bond to the fore with the release of Spectre, Aston Martin has come up with a potentially collectable version of its new DB9 GT, dedicated to the world’s most famous secret agent. Celebrating the 51-year association between Aston and the makers of the Bond films (Sean Connery’s 007 first drove a DB5 in 1964 in Goldfinger), the “Bond Edition” is based on the most powerful variant of the DB9 to date. The GT boasts 547 horsepower from its six-litre, V12 engine and offers a top speed of 183mph. Limited to 150 examples worldwide, the car features a subtly restyled exterior and a host of trim, equipment and accessory extras, including Spectre silver paintwork. Buyers also get a Globe-Trotter trolley case and an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M…

Thirty metres below. One fish. One spear. One hunter. ONE BREATH

IN SPEARFISHING, THE ACTION HAPPENS FAST… I’m swimming next to Chapman Ducote at a spot known as Silver Hole in the Bahamas’ Cay Sal Bank. His dive buddies Ian Miller and Rodrigo Franco circle us. The water’s deep and the visibility isn’t as good as expected. I can see for maybe six metres but the ocean floor is another six below that and then the blue hole (a deep sinkhole) drops hundreds of metres below that ocean floor. When Ducote dives, I dive too, practising what he’s taught me about prepping my breath, clearing my ears, taking a straight-down approach and counting my kicks. The ocean reveals itself in layers. I spy the sandy sea-floor and a patchwork of coral heads along the edge of the abyss. Shafts of light refract through the…

SO, YOU WANT TO GO CARIBBEAN FISHING What to buy, how to do it, when to go...

When to go Fishing, like nature, is cyclical. If you want to go fishing at a specific time, check what’s “running” in your chosen destination. Or, if you have a specific type of fish in mind, look online and see its migration pattern to determine when you should make your travel plans. An easy cheat is to search the internet for fishing tournaments in the area you want to visit – these always run at the height of a season. The eastern Caribbean specialises in the larger offshore pelagic fish such as marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi, and big game runs best from January to the end of April. The western shores and Trinidad offer great fishing year-round. Inshore, in the western Caribbean, there’s fishing for smaller gamefish such as…

The story behind the picture

Sun-hazed in the Bahamian heat and clutching a glass of something cool, supermodel Carmen Dell’Orefice could be scanning the dock for her errant captain in this 1959 shot for British Vogue magazine by the late, great Norman Parkinson. It is hard to appreciate today, when high-end fashion shoots almost always take place in glamorous locations, but informal images such as this were a fresh phenomenon in the 1950s. Parkinson was instrumental in effecting the evolution from staid studio shoots to outdoor photography that displayed not only the clothes but the people living in them. He recognised that, when it comes to haute couture, what you are really buying is the lifestyle. Since this image was taken Dell’Orefice has earned herself a few pages in fashion history, too. The American first appeared on a…

The story behind the picture

US builder goes Dutch Palmer Johnson is closing the doors on its US yard at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and will take over an undisclosed yard in The Netherlands. The builder says it made a strategic decision to move operations to Europe, where it will focus on its new carbon composite SuperSport series of yachts, like the all-carbon Khalilah, which was launched last year. Hull No.2 of the PJ48 SuperSport is in-build in Norway and will be transferred to the new Dutch yard in November, followed by a third hull arriving in April 2016. The builder has reported strong interest in the SuperSport range and finds it “competitively advantageous” to build in Europe. The company is also manufacturing moulds for the Palmer Johnson 42m SuperSport – the first hull is ordered and will be…

That sinking feeling

Typo makes yacht capsize The US National Transportation Safety Board has revealed the probable cause of a capsizing last year as ballast and stability issues caused by a transcription error. The Northern Marine 85 yacht Baaden capsized during her launch in Anacortes, Washington due to the error by builder New World, which had acquired Northern Marine’s assets. New World supplied the stability naval architect with an aft starboard load value of 68,500lb: it was really 60,550. That was used to calculate the total weight, and the aft port load had 68,700lb – an 8,000lb difference. The ballast weight was overstated as 23 tonnes when it was 16.61, causing the architect to overestimate the yacht’s stability.

TAKE ONE TABLET...

The Panasonic ToughPad UT-MA6 is a big tablet. It is, no really, four times the size of an iPad Air (see the two together, above). Four times. You know the new, bigger, iPad Pro they’re bringing out? Half the size of this. It is – and there’s really no other way of saying this – very, very big. And so what I wanted to do, for the brief time I had it, was take it on the London Underground. During rush hour. Ruining everybody’s morning. Like those guys who read the Daily Telegraph. I didn’t, obviously. You might as well carry around a flat-screen telly. Although in fairness, this does not pretend to be that sort of tablet. Nobody is going to pack this in hand luggage, or pass it over…

My parents bought this Yamaha YAS-32 saxophone for me in 1988 when I was 16. I have played it, not practised when I should have done, dented it, scratched it and loved it for 27 years. I rarely play now because I don’t have the time but I will always treasure it. My music teacher at school encouraged me to play the flute because my hands weren’t big enough to operate saxophone keys. The flute was the antithesis of the saxophone, which I saw as the coolest of all instruments, but I acquiesced. I played my flute in a concert band, sitting in a front row with 14 girls. The coolest guys were in the sax section behind, ribbing me endlessly about being “one of the girls”. As soon as my hands…

The World Superyacht Awards are distinguished by the fact that the winners are selected by an independent jury of current and former superyacht owners, all of whom have a profound knowledge of the subject and an enthusiasm for rewarding the genuinely exceptional.

There is very little about the 54.6 metre ISA Yachts Forever One that conforms to what we are used to seeing in a superyacht. With her imposing volume, more than 1,050 gross tonnes, lofty bow and flashy white and red livery, Forever One stands out wherever she goes and rarely leaves people indifferent. Passion seems the most appropriate word to use when describing the yacht’s build. The project stems from an experienced Mexican owner, Bruce Grossman, who entrusted Fernando Nicholson of Camper & Nicholsons International and designer and naval architect Horacio Bozzo to fine-tune his ideas. “Bruce was adamant that the design should be both unique and reliable,” says Nicholson. “He wanted a yacht that distinguished herself from the crowd, the right place to spend long, relaxed holidays with his beloved wife,…

Jonathan Ray picks the world’s best wine-inspired treatments We all know that wine is good for us, in moderation of course. Red wine, in particular, is full of antioxidants such as resveratrol and saponin, thought to help prevent heart attacks, strokes and cancer, and reduce levels of cholesterol. So what could be better than combining wine with a pampering massage or spa treatment while cruising the Med on your superyacht? Moor up in Monaco’s Port Hercules, for example, and head straight for the recently reopened and refurbished Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo. This luxurious spa, with views over the port, offers a sumptuous 90-minute Gold & Champagne treatment, which begins with a full body exfoliation using products that incorporate gold and caviar.
