Vector 63's owner discusses 'new paradigm'
Charming superyacht owner, jr ridinger discusses the technical prowess of vector 63, in-build at rossinavi….
Rossinavi is still on track to deliver what will be its second largest vessel to date, Vector 63, in Q1 of 2018. The Team for Design creation not only exhibits a sporty profile, it is also an interesting technical proposition.
First presented to the market, this 63m vessel has been specially designed for shallow Caribbean and South Florida cruising, meaning it has a draft of just 2.2m. This aggressive hull form, which lends itself to the new ‘fast displacement’ phenomenon accommodates a top speed of 28 knots, with a range of 3,600nm at half speed, and an economical 18-knot speed utilising just 35% of the propulsion power.
This innovative model was first brought to market at the 2016 edition of FLIBS, where its amiable owner, JR Ridinger was on hand to explain why he was relishing the receipt of his largest ever yacht, and proving that he understands the technology driving the vessel as well as anyone.
“Most people are going twin-screw, displacement, deep hull… but this is 63 metres, wide, shallow draft, and fast”, Ridinger explained. “This [vessel profile] is a new paradigm… [She is built] to go over the shoals and the shallows, and the manoeuvrability is incredible, thanks to the [four] waterjets and the steering. I’m not sure how the captain will figure that out!
“It can cruise across the Atlantic at 14 or 15 knots. The more I look at the engineering, it all makes sense, and [this hull profile is] the way of the future. I’ve got a great captain, and an incredible engineer, and when they go [to the yard], [Rossinavi are] so complete in their reporting, there’s no BS. They’re leading the parade with this technology, this hull and this design.”
JR Ridinger talks about his experiences in yachting in ‘Lessons Learned’, appearing in issue 177 of The Superyacht Report .

Vector is one of the groundbreaking and revolutionary concepts to come from the innovative partnership between De Basto Designs and Oceanco.
This 105m superyacht features an abundant use of glass in line with the most modern and on-trend owner demands. However, De Basto has taken this usage one step further than just an aesthetic tool, as it is on Vector a construction material in itself also. The enclosed superstructure is made entirely of floor-to-ceiling glass, curved and angled to give protection without obstruction.
This provides panoramic sea views from the inside out, while still affording the highest levels of privacy as the glass is tinted from the outside in. To add to this, the glass is also fully tempered to withstand force and has UV protection, while no curtains are needed as the glass can be fogged with the push of a button.

Keeping Superyachts Out of the Public Eye
When it comes to owning a superyacht, some owners prefer to keep their vessels out of the public eye.
Understandably, these individuals are concerned with privacy and discretion, and therefore tend to take measures to ensure their yachts are not visible to outsiders.
For instance, some superyacht owners opt to keep their vessels in private marinas, away from the public areas of larger ports.
Additionally, some yacht owners may choose to hire security guards to patrol and protect their vessels while they are moored or sailing.
In addition to physical security, some superyacht owners also use technology to keep their vessels out of the public eye.
For example, a yacht owner may choose to install a satellite-based communications system that allows them to keep their vessel completely off-radar.
This system works by bouncing signals off satellites rather than transmitting them, making it virtually impossible for anyone to track the yachts movements.
Finally, some superyacht owners also choose to limit the number of people who have access to their vessels.
For instance, the owner may only allow family members and close friends to board the yacht.
Additionally, the owner may choose to employ a limited number of staff to help maintain the vessel and keep it running smoothly.
These individuals may be required to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure they do not disclose any information about the yacht or its owner.
Overall, while some superyacht owners may choose to keep their vessels out of the public eye, there are still plenty of other ways to show off the opulence associated with owning a superyacht.
From swimming pools and helicopter pads to on-board cinemas and spas, there are many luxurious amenities that can make a superyacht the envy of any jet setter.
Final Thoughts
Superyachts are a symbol of luxury and status, and the list of yacht owners reads like a who’s who of billionaires.
From the Emir of Qatar’s world-record breaking $400 million yacht to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s vessel with a helicopter pad and on-board spa, the amenities of these luxury vessels are truly stunning.
With prices ranging from $30 million to over $400 million, owning a superyacht is an expensive endeavor.
Whether you’re looking to purchase one or just curious to learn more about the owners and their amenities, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to stay up to date with the superyacht scene.

Questions for Investigators Trying to Unravel Mystery of Luxury Yacht’s Sinking
The investigators searching for answers about the shipwreck, leaving seven dead, face questions about extreme weather and possible human error or problems with the yacht itself.
- Share full article
By Alan Yuhas
More than 180 feet long, with a mast towering about 240 feet and a keel that could be lowered for greater stability, the Bayesian luxury yacht did not, in the eyes of its maker, have the vulnerabilities of a ship that would easily sink.
“It drives me insane,” Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, which in 2022 bought the company that made the ship, said after its wreck last week. “Following all the proper procedures, that boat is unsinkable.”
But the $40 million sailing yacht sank within minutes and with fatal results: seven dead, including the British technology billionaire Michael Lynch, his teenage daughter, four of Mr. Lynch’s friends and a member of the crew. Fifteen people, including the captain, escaped on a lifeboat.
Mr. Lynch had invited family, friends and part of his legal team on a cruise in the Mediterranean to celebrate his acquittal in June of fraud charges tied to the sale of his company to the tech giant Hewlett-Packard.
The Italian authorities have opened a manslaughter investigation, searching for answers from the survivors, the manufacturer and the wreck itself. They face a range of questions and possible factors.
An ‘earthquake’ in the sky?
When the Bayesian sank around 4 a.m. on Aug. 19, the waters in its area, about half a mile off the Sicilian port of Porticello, were transformed by an extremely sudden and violent storm, according to fishermen, a captain in the area and meteorologists.
But what kind of storm is still a mystery, compounded by the fact that a sailing schooner anchored nearby did not have its own disaster. Also unclear is whether the crew was aware that the Italian authorities had issued general warnings about bad weather the night before.
Karsten Börner, the captain of the nearby passenger ship, said he’d had to steady his ship during “really violent” winds . During the storm, he said, the Bayesian seemed to disappear behind his ship.
Severe lightning and strong gusts were registered by the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, according to Attilio Di Diodato, its director. “It was very intense and brief in duration,” he said.
The yacht, he said, had most likely been hit by a fierce downburst — a blast of powerful wind surging down during a thunderstorm. His agency put out rough-sea warnings the previous evening, alerting sailors about possible storms.
Locals have said the winds “felt like an earthquake.” A fisherman in Porticello said that he had seen a flare go off in the early-morning hours. His brother ventured to the site once the weather had calmed about 20 minutes later, he said, finding only floating cushions.
The Italian authorities have so far declined to say whether investigators had seen any structural damage to the hull or other parts of the ship.
Open hatches or doors?
The boat executive, Mr. Costantino, has argued that the Bayesian was an extremely safe vessel that could list even to 75 degrees without capsizing. His company, the Italian Sea Group, in 2022 bought the yacht’s manufacturer, Perini Navi, which launched the ship in 2008.
Mr. Costantino said that if some of the hatches on the side and in the stern, or some of the deck doors, had been open, the boat could have taken on water and sunk. Standard procedure in such storms, he said, would be to switch on the engine, lift the anchor and turn the boat into the wind, lowering the keel for extra stability, closing doors and gathering the guests in the main hall inside the deck.
At a news conference on Saturday, almost a week after the sinking, investigators said the yacht had sunk at an angle , with its stern — where the heavy engine was — having gone down first. The wreck was found lying on its right side at the bottom of a bay, about 165 feet deep.
12 guests occupied the yacht’s six cabins. There were also 10 crew members.
Open hatches, doors and cabin windows could have let in water during a storm, according to the manufacturer.

By Veronica Penney
Water pouring into open hatches or doors could have contributed to the sinking, experts say, but that on its own may not account for the speed at which such a large boat vanished underwater.
Asked about the hatches at the news conference, the authorities declined to comment on whether they had been found open at the wreck.
The authorities have also not specified whether the boat had been anchored, whether it was under power at the time or whether its sails had been unfurled.
A retracted keel?
The Bayesian had a keel — the fin-like structure beneath a boat that can help stabilize it — that could be retracted or extended, according to its manufacturer. On some yachts, keels can be raised to let the large vessel dock in shallower water, and extended downward to help keep a boat level.
But like the hatches, the status of the keel alone may not explain why a large ship sank with such precipitous speed. Investigators have not disclosed what divers may have seen at the wreck, aside from saying divers had faced obstacles like furnishings and electrical wiring in tight quarters. Officials want to raise the wreck to better examine it, a process that may take weeks.
Human error?
Ambrogio Cartosio, the prosecutor in charge of the case, said at the news conference that it was “plausible” crimes had been committed, but that investigators had not zeroed in on any potential suspects.
“There could be responsibilities of the captain only,” he said. “There could be responsibilities of the whole crew. There could be responsibilities of the boat makers. Or there could be responsibilities of those who were in charge of surveilling the boat.”
It remains unclear what kind of emergency training or preparation took place before the disaster, or what kind of coordination there was during it. So far, none of the surviving crew members have made a public statement about what happened the night the ship sank.
Prosecutors said they want to ask more questions of the captain and crew, who have been in a Sicilian hotel with other survivors. They said that neither alcohol nor drug tests had been performed on crew members, and that they have been allowed to leave Italy.
Prosecutors also said they were also investigating why the captain, an experienced sailor, left the sinking boat while some passengers were still on board.
Besides possible manslaughter charges, the authorities are investigating the possibility of a negligently caused shipwreck.
The bodies of five passengers were found in one cabin, on the left side of the yacht, the authorities said. The five were most likely trying to flee to the higher side of the boat and were probably sleeping when the boat started to sink, they said.

EIV // Vector 50 // Rossinavi
Rossinavi launched the 49m motor yacht vector 50, christened eiv..
EIV was built for an American owner and has been designed by Team for Design – Enrico Gobbi . The designed studio created both interior and exterior of the yacht. Arrabito Naval Architects delivered the calculations. It is the smaller sister of the 63m UTOPIA IV , launched in 2018.
The full-aluminum fast-displacement hull yacht comes with a sporty design with a stylish reverse bow and automotive-inspired parts like air vent grills. EIV has a shallow draft of 2.29m to cruise in the waters of the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Florida.
Equipped with two MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines (1,939 kW each), EIV reaches a top speed of 19 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. At the economical speed of 10 knots, the vessel has a trans-Atlantic range of 3,600 nautical miles .

Rossinavi describes the interior as follows:
“The interior design is a thoughtful mix of contemporary and modern: bright and natural nuances of wood and fabrics cleverly combined with prestigious coating materials, such as onyx and leathers, and sophisticated details in bronzed brass metal. Custom carpentry details by Enrico Gobbi are combined with contemporary European furniture, decorative lighting art pieces, and exclusive Italian-made fabrics; the impression is of a relaxed, welcoming, elegant interior with plenty of light. Most of the furniture has been personally designed by Enrico Gobbi and upholstered with high-end fabrics of leading international brands such as Hermès, Rubelli, and Armani Casa. Class and energy, style, and dynamism have been perfectly combined in this grand project that is ground-breaking.”
EIV accommodates up to eight guests plus the owner . The crew area contains four cabins on the lower deck plus captain’s cabin on the bridge deck with direct access to the wheelhouse.

A billionaire NFL owner's superyacht is now available for charter. It'll cost you.
NFL owner Shahid Khan's superyacht Kismet is available for charter at $3 million a week.
Kismet, which will debut at the Monaco Yacht Show, features luxury amenities and can host 12 guests.
Added costs for provisions, gratuities, and taxes can raise the weekly charter cost to $5.4 million.
Want to vacation like a billionaire? You can — for $3 million a week.
The superyacht belonging to Shahid Khan, the owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars who is worth $13.3 billion, according to Forbes, is officially available for charter.
Kismet, Khan's new yacht, will make her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show later this month.
The 122-meter yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests — and a crew of 36 available to serve them — and, like any superyacht worth its weight, has some special amenities .
A "Balinese-inspired" spa features a hammam, sauna, and cryotherapy chamber, as well as a massage table and chromotherapy bathtub offering some sort of color-related treatment. For more active wellness, there's a gym, basketball court, and pickleball court.
There are three pools — two are jacuzzis — spread over six decks, four outdoor showers, four bars, four fireplaces, two fire pits, and one helipad. For your viewing pleasure, there is an outdoor cinema, and for your listening pleasure, a DJ booth and grand piano.
And because billionaires love to play, there is a suite of water toys aboard, including Jet Skis, SeaBobs, e-foils, and WaveRunners.
Khan is a committed superyacht owner. His previous superyacht, also named Kismet, was purchased by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt last year. While its final sales price was not disclosed, it was listed for about $160 million. Renamed Whisper, the yacht was built by the same German shipyard as the new Kismet, Lürssen, and measured 95 meters.
"The yacht has exceeded all expectations of the client for whom we have built his third yacht in total," Peter Lürssen, a managing partner at Lürssen, said in a statement about the newest Kismet.
Kismet is the largest yacht on display at the Monaco Yacht Show, which will feature 120 superyachts . Renaissance, the second largest at 112 meters, charters for the same weekly price of $3 million.
While the nine-figure sales prices of these yachts make their seven-figure charter rates seem like a bargain, renting out a superyacht is not for the faint of wallet. In addition to the charter fee, there are costs associated with provisions which can come to as much as 40% of the fee; gratuities, as much as 20% of the fee; and taxes, also as much as 20%. That means a week aboard the Kismet can actually cost as much as $5.4 million.

How safe are luxury yachts? What to know after Mike Lynch yacht disaster left 7 dead
The Bayesian was a world-class yacht.
The 19th largest yacht designed by luxury Italian manufacturer Perini , it boasted a sleek interior design by French designer Remi Tessier, a double engine, and one of the tallest aluminum masts in the world. It won multiple awards, including for "best sailing yacht" the year after its release.
But, almost two weeks ago on Aug. 19, the luxurious vessel sank to the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Sicily in an internationally-followed disaster, dumping 22 people aboard into the water and leaving seven dead , including British tech magnate Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah .
"The impossible happened on that boat," Giovanni Costantino, the yacht manufacturer's CEO, told Reuters.
In the wake of the disaster, an ongoing investigation into possible criminal errors committed by the Bayesian's crew and lingering questions surrounding its design underscore the need for proper yacht safety measures and practical ship designs, according to experts.
Italian prosecutors from a nearby town have now widened their investigation into possible criminal actions by the ship's captain in the lead-up to the shipwreck to include two additional crew members, a judicial source told Reuters on Wednesday.
Tim Parker Eaton and Matthew Griffith are now under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck, days after news broke that investigators are probing whether Captain James Cutfield committed the same crimes.
Authorities are looking into whether Parker Eaton, a ship engineer, failed to protect the ship's engine room and operating systems. Griffith, a sailor on the ship, was on watch duty on the morning the ship sank.
Cutfield "exercised his right to remain silent" when investigators interrogated him on Tuesday, Giovanni Rizzuti, his lawyer, told Reuters.
"First, he's very worn out," Rizzuti said. "Second, we were appointed only on Monday, and for a thorough and correct defense case, we need to acquire a set of data that at the moment we don't have."
Rizzuti did not immediately respond to a request for comment emailed to him by USA TODAY.
Rescuers found the bodies of Chris Morvillo, an American citizen and lawyer for Clifford Chance, his wife, Neda Morvillo, Jonathan Bloomer, a non-executive chair of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, inside the ship two days after the wreck. Recaldo Thomas, the ship's cook who also went by Ricardo, was the first person pronounced dead in the disaster – his body was recovered on the day of the sinking.
Captains must follow safety procedures before storms
Costantino chalked up the boat's fate to a "series of indescribable, unreasonable errors" committed by the crew. The ship's crew made an "incredible mistake" in not preparing adequately for the storm, he said.
Costantino said the crew should have summoned passengers from their rooms earlier, as the storm picked up. The keel, a heavy weight under the ship to counterbalance the ship's large mast, should have been lowered, and portholes should have been closed – both factors that could influence whether the captain is found culpable, according to experts .
Captains should always check weather forecasts and look into local weather patterns, Mitchell Stoller, a maritime expert witness and captain, told USA TODAY . When in stormy weather, captains should also weigh anchor, so that a ship can float over unstable waters, he added.
"The general standard of care in this situation is to monitor the weather, exercise caution, have a night watch, have the engine going, ready to maneuver," he said.

Wealthy clients push for impractical designs, expert says
Costantino said the ship's design and construction was error-free. But one yacht design expert disagrees.
"There's so many other factors, and this huge, complex boat is part of it," said Tad Roberts, a British Columbia-based yacht designer who has worked in the industry for nearly 40 years.
The Bayesian's giant mast is part of a trend of bigger and bigger yachts, according to Roberts. He worked on the design of the Asolare, formerly the Scheherazade – at 154 feet long, the largest cold-molded sailing yacht in the world when it was released in 2003, according to its manufacturer, Hodgdon Yacht Services. "It's small today," Roberts added.
Roberts said problems emerge when yacht designers can't say no to wealthy clients' demands for more and more extravagant and overgrown designs.
"The clients are wealthy people. They are very used to getting whatever it is they want," he said.
But owners' requests can compromise security, he said.
"Owners are not naval architects," he said. "They don't understand the issues involved, and trying to explain to them may or may not work, but there are compromises being made all the time."
Yacht buyers are more likely to get a better boat than they would 50 years ago, since yachts are exported and built towards international standards, he said. Still, the worsening effects of climate change and extreme weather are growing risks to anyone sailing the high seas, he added.
"Be aware. That's the biggest part of it," he said. "There's a possibility that things could go bad, that there is risk involved."

Yacht owners install million-dollar, AI-powered security systems
Piracy on yachts is even rarer than sudden storms – only two cases were reported between 2019 and 2023, according to the International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Centre . Still, superyacht owners are investing in James Bond-esque technology in an effort to protect their vessels.
"There's definitely increased concern," said Frederik Giepmans, managing director of safety and security at MARSS, a technology company that offers high-tech surveillance and security systems for superyachts with a price tag "from the hundreds of thousands into millions," he said.
NiDAR, a software program manufactured by MARSS to provide protection for superyachts, can pick up on objects approaching a yacht from the air or water "while underway, at anchor and in port," according to the company's website.
The surveillance system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to handle data from sensors monitoring all sides of a vessel. The AI system provides "constant, long range monitoring of the air, of the surface, of the underwater, to try and give the crew as much response time as possible," said Giepmans.
That way, yacht owners can pick up on any manner of approaching objects, from "small, fast craft approaching on the surface" to divers and submarines under the water.
But if a threat is detected, a yacht owner's "options to respond are limited," Giepmans said. "You can get out of the way. You can bring people to safety. But, for instance, a more military response is not available to you."
Giepmans pointed to a recent increase in attacks on commercial ships, like attacks carried out by Houthi rebels on ships cruising through the Red Sea. "There's a gap there in terms of security," he said. "Because there isn't really, right now, a way for commercial or private clients, to respond, perhaps, in an appropriate way to these threats."
Luxury yacht owners cruising off the coast of Monaco, for instance, shouldn't be as concerned about a direct threat to their security, as compared with boats sailing through other locations, he said. "It really depends on that, as to what extent they will go to protect their ship."
The greater danger could come from adverse weather events, as the planet warms every year.
Meteorologists have pointed to a water spout, a tornado that spun up over the water amid the storm that hit the Bayesian, as a possible factor in its wreck.
Water temperatures in the area were more than three degrees higher than average that day, the perfect conditions for the spout to form and the likely result of climate change, Rick Shema, a certified consulting meteorologist and former member of the Navy, previously told USA TODAY.
"The water spout was an uncommon occurrence. But again, these things happen, especially in warmer water," he said.

Rescuers racing to reach Spirit of Mateship yacht in distress off NSW coastline, 185 kilometres east of Nowra
By Danuta Kozaki
Topic: Maritime Accidents and Incidents

A major rescue mission has been launched to retrieve two people stuck on board a 19-metre yacht roughly 185 kilometres off the New South Wales coastline.
NSW Police said officers were informed of the yacht's distress call at about 1pm on Monday.
What's next?
Rescue teams are expected to rendezvous with the vessel early on Wednesday morning.
A major rescue mission has been launched off the New South Wales South Coast, following a distress beacon being activated on the Spirit of Mateship yacht.
The distress beacon was switched on about 185 kilometres east of Nowra.
NSW Police said officers were notified of the distress call at about 1pm on Monday.
"Officers from the Marine Area Command and Australian Defence Force were notified by the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre a 19-metre yacht had activated a distress beacon," NSW Police said in a statement.
A spokesperson for the Australian Defence Force said HMAS Arunta was currently heading towards the 19-metre yacht. ( Supplied: Royal Australian Navy )
A spokesman for the Australian Defence Force said that two people were on board the yacht.
On Tuesday night, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said it was battling up to five-metre seas and 70 to 90 kph winds, with the weather conditions preventing rescue efforts from taking place on Monday night.
A RAAF C-130J Hercules aircraft stayed on the scene until 9pm after leaving from Richmond, but was forced to return.
"HMAS Arunta arrived to the scene at 6pm AEST this evening, with HMAS Canberra on route also arriving at 11pm AEST," AMSA said in a statement. "NSW Water Police vessel Nemesis is expected to arrive on scene about 2am AEST tomorrow [Tuesday] morning."
The rescue operation is due to begin early on Wednesday, but whether or not it can begin then will depend on the weather.
The Spirit of Mateship is believed to have sustained a mechanical issue and is taking on water.
Yacht a Sydney to Hobart race veteran
The Spirit of Mateship has raced in several Sydney to Hobart yacht races, starting in 2013.
Ahead of its inaugural Sydney to Hobart race, then-prime minister Tony Abbott officially launched its name Sprit of Mateship in honour of its crew, made up of injured ADF personnel.
Speaking at an event at the National Maritime Museum in Sydney before the race, Mr Abbott said how proud he was to be part of its launch.
The yacht in distress, named Spirit of Mateship, previously raced in a number of competitions, including the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. ( ABC: 7.30 )
"It is really good to be here at Mates 4 Mates and to help launch the Spirit of Mateship," he said.
"We owe it to the members and former members of our armed forces to stand by them in their time of need and Mates 4 Mates are people who are there for each other in tough times."
NSW Police said there were no reports of injuries on board the yacht.
