PRESENTING F1 YACHT AURELIA

With a Formula 1 race-inspired paint theme, Heesen motor yacht AURELIA first turned heads at her debut at the Cannes Boat Show. The 37-meter motor yacht AURELIA performs like a race car as well – her twin MTU engines can push her along at a maximum speed of 30 knots.  She has Frank Laupman of Omega Architects styling.  Her unique paint scheme accentuates her sleek and elegant lines.  The color inspiration is by Gulf Racing colors.

The Bannenberg & Rowell interior of the motor yacht AURELIA is race-inspired as well.  She especially impresses through the richness of materials and elaborate details in her interiors.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Race car designers are the guest cabin names.  The master suite is forward on the main deck.  In addition, three double guest cabins are on the lower deck.  Bertone (orange Lamborghini) and Pininfarina (red Ferrari). Additionally, Zagato (green Aston Martin) is another racecar designer inspiration.

WHERE DOES SHE CHARTER?

Whether at anchor off the Amalfi Coast , Sicily, Corsica or Sardinia, comfort at anchor is improved by a pair of Seakeeper gyro stabilizers, incredibly efficient under all sea conditions.

SPECIAL EVENTS YACHT

Clearly expect to see this yacht positioned at major events such as the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival. Onboard guests will enjoy the use of three exterior social areas. To illustrate, a partially covered aft cockpit, a vast sundeck with wet bar, and the large sun mattresses located in front of the wheelhouse.

Aurelia: Inside the first Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer

Cantiere delle Marche’s first Flexplorer, 39-metre Aurelia , is built for adventure and has a fearless spirit – from the bold ideas that moulded her to an unorthodox interior design. 

It’s usually a question of more space – a bigger beach club, perhaps, a gym or a stellar master cabin. But it’s quite rare to get a new boat built primarily to carry a larger tender. Nevertheless, this is how it was for the proud owner of the first Flexplorer to emerge from young Italian yard Cantiere delle Marche last autumn – 39 metres of elegant go-anywhere yacht.

He already had one of the yard’s first 31-metre Darwin 102 explorer-style yachts and loved the design. “I have spent about four months per season on board Galego and I have to say that she is probably the best vessel someone can have in the 100ft range,” he tells me. “As a yacht owner, though, you make more experience mile after mile, and you understand better your real needs, the difference between what happens on the drawings and in your real life, and you decide to build the next one closer to your needs.”

He’s candid about his prime motivation: the Darwin carried only a 5.8-metre Novurania Chase tender. “Most important was the tender’s dimension. I wanted at least a 7.5-metre jet tender or ski boat in my new yacht, yet I didn’t want to build a boat longer than 40 metres. I didn’t want too much heeling when launching that big tender too. And I didn’t want to compromise the interior volume because of the tender.”

This is the train of thought of an experienced yacht owner – one who understands their requirements very well and is able to translate them into design priorities. Those priorities fitted very well with a new Cantiere delle Marche design called the Flexplorer. Features such as a long open aft deck, an innovative carbon fibre A-frame crane and exhaustive storage throughout the boat immediately ticked the key boxes for the owner. And since he knew he already liked and trusted the yard, it was quite a quick contract to sign.

“You can pick up your phone and call anyone who is working on your boat, and their flexibility in accommodating your needs is beyond any expectation,” the Flexplorer’s owner explains. “It is a very lean company with fast decision processes.”

Of course, a yacht is much more than just a means of carrying the tender around. And central to the Flexplorer concept is this sense of blending Riviera-style luxury with the ability to go anywhere. “You can be in Porto Cervo having a fantastic party with DJs on the top deck and dancers hanging from the A-frame crane,” says Vasco Buonpensiere, sales director and co-founder of Cantiere delle Marche. “Or you can be in the Falkland Islands in complete safety, with two 40ft (12-metre) containers on the deck with scientists making experiments – or, as one client asked us, a painting studio and a small classroom for six children.”

At the heart of the Flexplorer is an over-specced, over-engineered technical platform that gives the boats their enviable efficiency and a high degree of redundancy for safe operation in inclement parts of the world. Twin Caterpillar C32s provide a combined 1,492kW of power, giving the boat a top speed of 14 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. The intention was for a range of more than 5,000 nautical miles, but the design has smashed through that ceiling. “Having sea-trialled the boat, we discovered that at 10 knots it arrives at an 8,000 nautical mile range,” says Buonpensiere, beaming. “In every aspect – sea-keeping, noise, range – it’s the best boat I’ve sea-trialled in my career.”

Of course, he would say that – he built it. But the evidence that this is not just marketing hyperbole lies in the fact that the next Flexplorer is going to the Northwest Passage. And it has only required some minor adjustments to the design to make it ready. That is in part down to the expertise of Sergio Cutolo and his engineering team at Hydro Tec. As well as drawing the underwater lines of the Flexplorer, Cutolo also designed much of the engineering and the exterior look. The bilges are a classic rounded shape, but with flatter sections aft to create the maximum prop shaft clearance – making for less noise and allowing a larger, more efficient prop to be fitted. There’s a chine forward to deflect spray and a heavy flare to minimise pitching.

“With this boat, we are really close to the bottom of where any improvement is still possible,” says Cutolo. “The fuel consumption is extremely low. Speed exceeded contract speed by at least one knot. The very impressive thing was we did zero to top speed in 20 seconds – which for a 400-tonne boat is not bad!”

Now, dull as it may seem, storage is the other key ingredient to a successful explorer: from toys to trash, freezer room to fine wines – everything you need to maintain your lifestyle for long passages or, more excitingly, when the yacht is cruising out of range of normal provisioning facilities. This is another great strength of the Flexplorer.

“We’re always very attentive when we design storage spaces,” says Buonpensiere. “If you want you can stay a minimum of one month without resupplying, using frozen food. No problem with water and the wine cellar. We have a sub-lower deck with a tunnel that goes from the engine room to the crew quarters. Where there is standing room, we have custom made beautiful stainless-steel refrigerators and freezers for extra storage on top of what’s in the galley. In the forepeak, we have extra refrigerated storage for garbage – also space for luggage storage in the sub-lower deck, and supplies.”

And when it comes to space for toys and tenders, the design really comes into its own. The A-frame can lift up to 3.5 tonnes, so the 8.5-metre Joker Boat Clubman 28 EFB and Williams Dieseljet 445 can be easily hoisted out and stowed on the aft deck. It could in fact also manage a submersible, such as the Triton 660/2. Though it was not the case with this first hull, Aurelia , future Flexplorers will have a crane that straddles the full beam of the boat, stowing in the bulwarks, so it is easier to store the boats side by side. Between the aft deck and the bathing platform, three large vessels can be securely stored, while a handy rack for surfboards, wakeboards and so on slides up out of the aft deck.

When Aurelia is at anchor, the aft deck transforms into a superbly flexible 135-square metre social space with the tenders bobbing astern. A six-metre length of each bulwark here folds down hydraulically to add nearly a metre to the usable beam of the boat. And there are discreet anchoring points for custom-built sunshades, as well as a fridge and a small bar here. But the upper deck is where guests will spend most of their time, split between the sumptuous 10-person outside dining table by the yacht’s interior designer Francesco Paszkowski and a lounge-cum-cinema with a three-part sliding door. This is also where the wheelhouse is found, in whose shadow lies a capacious foredeck lounging area.

Above this is a sundeck that can extend to 35 square metres or more, but not on Aurelia . On this first Flexplorer, it is known as the “private Jacuzzi deck” up here. The owner wanted it to be a small, exclusive space on top of the boat, with a decent-sized fridge, a bit of storage and a large spa pool. “The 130 has a very peculiar layout because they didn’t even want a sundeck – just a small portion open with a Jacuzzi,” says Buonpensiere. “They created an alcove, a cosy place up there for the two of them, so the crew can’t go there.”

It is a move which reflects how confident this owner has grown. Confidence in his own requirements and confidence in the process of yacht design. There are other clues below. Although the Flexplorer 130 was designed with five large cabins in mind, Aurelia ’s owner deferred to his chief stewardess, who told him that she would like some extra technical space. Where the fourth guest cabin should be amidships on the lower deck there is a 16-square metre laundry. “What we suggested to him is still to have a bathroom in there, like a guest cabin, so in case of resale, it’s very easy to retrofit an extra cabin,” says Buonpensiere. “We also added a Pullman bed in that laundry, so when they’re travelling with, say a Divemaster, he can sleep there.”

No less individual is the boat’s interior decoration, which is the work of the renowned Francesco Paszkowski Design in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. It is like nothing else I’ve ever seen aboard a yacht – more like a chic warehouse conversion in London or New York City. “The brief for Aurelia was to create a peculiar interior – it had to reflect the owner’s personality,” confirms Paszkowski. “He doesn’t like a boat interior furnished with famous brand furniture, he likes objects and furniture which have a special feeling and vibe, which tell a story and have a flavour.”

This has manifested itself in a palette of muted colours and an industrial style. Panels of plywood bearing a wafer-thin coat of concrete butt up to steel girders overhead. Brushed oak floorboards underfoot are intentionally cut to different widths to give an irregular, repurposed look. There’s more concrete on the walls, as well as steel framed-furniture, slate surfaces and sofas upholstered in vintage leather.

It’s a theme that works really well – in part because of the depth of detail. For example, the wiring for the lights on the boat is carried through brass piping fixed in plain sight to the ceiling. Outside the wheelhouse, there’s not a hint of touchscreen trickery on this boat; even the light switches are old-fashioned industrial boxes that stand proud on every wall. It won’t please every eye, but it has real depth of character. “Up until now, the percentages are better than we expected: seven to three in favour,” jokes Buonpensiere.

A feature that is likely to win over even the hardest-hearted of modernists is the wine cellar. Instead of stashing the Grand Crus in the bilges, they are out on display for all to marvel at: in a “lift” down the centre of the main staircase. It’s actually two separate cellars, designed by Romagnoli (an architectural metalworking specialist based near Ancona) and the yard, in a series of rotating racks containing 44 bottles each and accessed from the main and the upper decks. But the impression is of a lift shaft full of bottles running unbroken between the two decks. “We are very proud of the iron staircase with the steps covered with leather surrounding the wine cellar,” adds Paszkowski. “We like it, as it fits with the industrial vibe, but the leather gives a special sensation under your feet.”

Every major item of furniture has been rescued from a previous life, or at least inspired by a vintage piece. A daybed resembles a World War I mattress, recreated at stunning expense in precious Ralph Lauren fabric. There’s a lamp whose mantle once adorned an airfield as a landing light, discovered by Paszkowski in a flea market in Florence. “This design gave us the opportunity to explore unprecedented design solutions on board,” he says.Every major item of furniture has been rescued from a previous life, or at least inspired by a vintage piece.

And exploration is what this yacht is all about. She is bound for cruising grounds in Ushuaia and the Pacific with an owner who expects to spend months and months on board. An owner who knows his own mind and, in a relative rarity even for an explorer yacht, really plans to explore.

Aurelia - 2011

Extrovert appearance

Aurelia is a 37-metre sportster – our tenth unique yacht of this size. Her extrovert appearance was inspired by the Owner’s vision for something distinctly different – a homage to sports car heritage. Indeed Aurelia was named after the very first Gran Turismo – the Lancia Aurelia GT. The world’s finest mid size sports yacht gives each owner and their designers the opportunity to create without compromise. From the outset, Aurelia was destined to be highly distinctive and for more reasons than just her racy colour scheme.

First impressions

Gulf Oil Racing colours were adapted by Dobroserdov Design and applied to the yacht and even the 14ft Castoldi tender stored in the large tender garage and launched using the Heesen track system that is both safer and requires less space than a traditional crane mechanism. The transom door folds down to create a large swimming platform.

Step aboard

With interiors by Bannenberg & Rowell, Aurelia’s ‘GT’ car concept required a considerable degree of detail in every aspect of the design. From the Linley Aston Martin chairs to the automobile grille bookcase insets, every classic feature exudes craftsmanship.

CDM PRESENTS THE FIRST FLEXPLORER M/Y AURELIA

Cantiere delle Marche presents the first Flexplorer, Aurelia, a new explorer vessel designed to take centre stage.

“The first Flexplorer is a game changer, there is no doubt about it. It is actually already a trend-setter project if we look at many of the latest renderings published by other yards on the press after we presented the project. This makes us very proud, indeed,” says Vasco Buonpensiere , co-founder and Sales & Marketing Director at CdM. “Being the first interpreters of a new trend and being those who lead the pack, launching this kind of yacht years before our competitors... well, it is just priceless and a perfect reward for all the efforts we did to create the Flexplorer range of vessels!” Being at the forefront of innovation and setting new benchmark in the explorer yachts segment is in CdM’s DNA. When CdM started its activity, explorer vessels were almost unknown to most yacht owners and neglected by most shipyards. Nowadays explorer or expedition vessels represent one of the most interesting class in the yachting market and many shipyards are proposing explorer-like yachts. We can safely say that CdM set a trend and still master the explorer vessel segment. Recently CdM is moving forward with one-off projects and new series among which the Flexplorer line represents a highlight as well as a turning point. The embrace of both design and technological advancements and deeply held commitment to move forward define what a CdM’s explorer vessel is today. Flexplorer is a testament to these values. “I HAVE FOLLOWED PERSONALLY THIS BUILD BOTH BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SPECIAL PROJECT WITH MANY TECHNICAL CHALLENGES AND BECAUSE OF MY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OWNERS WHO GAVE US - FOR THE SECOND TIME - THE PRIVILEGE OF BUILDING FOR THEM A VERY SPECIAL YACHT WHICH, FOR SURE, WILL TURN HEADS WHEREVER IT WILL CRUISE. THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS WHICH REMIND US WHY WE LOVE SO MUCH WHAT WE DO!!! GRAZIE!” Ennio Cecchini - CdM’s CEO Aurelia’s main features The Flexplorer line embodies all features of a pure explorer vessel, robustness, seaworthiness and comfort in all sea conditions adding to these qualities an extra dose of flexibility and functionality. The Flexplorer encompasses CdM’s superlative levels in both construction and equipment. The first yacht in the Flexplorer line, Aurelia, is indeed a stunning piece of technology wrapped in an elegant design by Sergio Cutolo/Hydro Tec with groundbreaking interiors by Francesco Paszkowski Design . Her eye-catching superstructure, almost vertical bow, huge aft deck are not styling exercises as they provide the yacht with features that make her a perfect ocean-going vessel designed to face all sort of weather conditions in total safety and comfort. She has an asymmetrical layout on the Main deck. The starboard side of the salon encompasses the side passage on starboard side becoming larger and benefiting from open views onto the sea through large side windows. Her bold hull boasts a custom Star Green livery by Alexseal Yacht Coatings. At 39.37m and with a beam of 8.60m , Aurelia has a displacement of 392t. Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 A Rating delivering 746kW each, she reaches a top speed of 14 knots and has a range of above 7,000nm at 10 knots. According to her Owner’s wishes, she has only four guest cabins , a large Owner apartment on the Main deck forward while two Vip suites and a twin are on the Lower deck. A maximum of nine guests is pampered by a crew of six . “ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS WHICH DIFFERENTIATE A SUCCESSFUL COMPANY FROM THE OTHERS IS ITS ABILITY TO KEEP ITS COMMITMENT TOWARDS IMPROVEMENT ALWAYS AT FULL SPEED. CDM AND ITS FANTASTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE HAVE PROVED ONCE AGAIN THAT - DESPITE THE INCREDIBLE SUCCESS THEY ALREADY HAVE - THEY ARE ALWAYS AIMING HIGHER AND HIGHER, PUTTING 200- OF THEIR EFFORTS TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN EVEN IF - LIKE FOR THE FLEXPLORER AND THE A-FRAME CRANE IDEA - IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE THE RESULT THEY ENVISAGE. BRAVO ENNIO, BRAVO BRUNO, BRAVO VASCO AND THE WHOLE TEAM AT CDM: I COULD HAVE NEVER DREAMT OF SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS UNDER EVERY ASPECT!” Aurelia’s Owner Aurelia’s distinguished features Among Aurelia’s genuinely unique aspects it is worth mentioning the carbon fiber, 3.5t A-frame crane that is perfectly encompassed in the deck’s flooring. This feature itself is a remarkable piece of engineering purposely developed by CdM’s in collaboration with AMS (Advanced Mechanical Solutions) to provide the yacht with a powerful crane to launch an 8.5m tender – a Jokerboat Clubman 28 EFB - without interfering with full use of deck space. It goes without saying that the A-frame crane also allows much safer loading and offloading operations and it eliminates inclining issues. The fact that the tender is loaded and offloaded in the protected water at the stern of the vessel is another plus, indeed. The second tender is a William Dieseljet 445. Another remarkable feature are the bulwarks that are collapsible on both sides for around 7 metres to increase the deck space astern. Once the bulwarks are folded down it becomes a beach area of more than 115 square metres . There are many storage spaces on board for both food and toys to allow long permanence onboard and non-stop passages to remote destinations. On the stern terrace, to port side, there is a stainlesssteel drainable storage space to host boards and other toys, different slots for a carbon fiber removable 500kg crane, and a very big lazzarette are only a few of the features which make the Flexplorer a perfect vessel for those who like to stay active when cruising. The list of toys includes 3 mountain bikes, two sea-bobs and a few surf boards. As requested by her Owner, Aurelia has a proper gym on the Lower deck astern with plenty of natural light thanks to six skylights. The gym is equipped with topend equipment by Technogym such as a stylish treadmill Run Personal (designed by Antonio Citterio), a Skillbike, a Cross Personal and a Kinesis Personal. A huge wine cellar is another peculiar feature on board Aurelia. It spans two decks -Main and Upper deck - and is meant to be a remarkable design feature as it occupies the entire stairwell. It is composed by two separated wine cellars accessible from the main and upper deck. Each rack (a sort of square column) rotates on a swivel base. The racks rotate manually to give access to all bottles. They contain 44 bottles each. It has been designed by CdM in conjunction with Romagnoli Inox. “THE FLEXPLORER IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW THE SAME CONTENT CAN BE EXPRESSED IN DIFFERENT SHAPES: WITH CANTIERE DELLE MARCHE WE HAVE TOTALLY REVOLUTIONIZED THE CONCEPT OF EXPLORER VESSEL TO GET TO A SYNTHESIS WHICH ENCOMPASSED THIS TYPOLOGY'S CORE CHARACTERISTICS, COUPLING THEM WITH CENTURIES OF NAVAL TRADITION AND CREATING A NEW SHAPE AND A MODEL ABLE TO BE TAILORED TO EACH AND EVERY CLIENT.” Sergio Cutolo - Exterior design, naval architecture and engineering Naval architecture, equipment, etc. Aurelia is a displacement yacht with a bulbous bow. Her hull is deep and flared in its forward sections to keep the deck dry in all weather conditions, even the worst, while they flatten and enlarge astern to allow large diameter propellers. “The transverse frame, in line with the shipyard approach, allows for better spaces optimization, increasing the internal volume thanks to reduced internal structures,” says Sergio Cutolo . “It also provides additional design flexibility, allowing for easier modifications/customisation. She has two pairs of electro-driven stabilizing fins. This solution grants better functionality also because, thanks to a sophisticated software, they work together with the two independent electro-driven rudders to improve the seakeeping. This allowed the installation of smaller machines and blades, minimizing the ‘rudder effect’ caused by larger fins while offering redundancy in case of blade failure.” A gallery/tank deck runs below the guest area to connect the engine room to the crew area. This technical space also allows easy access to equipment and tanks. Thanks to the hull’s large volume, easily accessible storage compartments and freezers are located below the crew area. “DESIGNING THE INTERIOR OF AURELIA WAS REALLY A CHALLENGING JOB. IT WAS A PERFECT TEAM WORK AMONG ALL THE PLAYERS INVOLVED – THE OWNER, CANTIERE DELLE MARCHE AND OUR STUDIO IN COLLABORATION WITH MARGHERITA CASPRINI – WHICH GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE UNPRECEDENTED DESIGN SOLUTIONS. AURELIA FEATURES AN INTERIOR DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL INSPIRATION WHICH REMINDS OF A SOPHISTICATED NEW YORK LOFT.
