Monaco Yacht Show 2017: il nuovo mega yacht S501 M/Y Vertige di Tankoa Yachts[:en]Monaco Boat Show 2107: the new S501 M/Y Vertige
IL DEBUTTO UFFICIALE. IL MEGA YACHT S501 M/Y VERTIGE BY TANKOA YACHTS E’ STATO PRESENTATO UFFICIALMENTE IN OCCASIONE DEL MONACO YACHT SHOW 2017 IN CORSO IN QUESTI GIORNI (27-30 SETTEMBRE 2017).
Senza dubbio non si può non abbinare la parola yacht allo sfoggio di indiscussa ricchezza. Pur trattandosi di un bene concesso a pochi, sarebbe da considerare un lusso tutto sommato discreto che, pur dando bella mostra di sé in rada o lungo le coste, predilige navigare lungo da occhi indiscreti. Non a caso, la riservatezza è la prima e imprescindibile necessità di chi può permettersi beni di lusso di questo spessore.
Il nuovo mega yacht S501 M/Y Vertige del cantiere italiano Tankoa Yachts, costruito interamente in una lega leggera di alluminio 5083, è stata realizzato in collaborazione con Francesco Paszkowski.
Lungo fuori tutto 49,90 metri e largo massimo 9.40 metri, questa lussuosa imbarcazione dal profilo che pare tagliare le onde, dispone di sei cabine di cui: una cabina armatoriale e una master suite sul ponte principale, 2 cabine Vip e 2 ospiti sul ponte inferiore, palestra/beach club a prua, home cinema, un garage per il tender di oltre 7 metri, 2 jet sky ed un altro tender di servizio a prua.
Generoso l’uso di vetrate a tutta altezza con murate abbassate nel salone principale e lodevole la scelta di prevedere, sia nella cabina armatoriale sia a poppa nel salotto all’aperto, terrazze laterali apribili lunghe tre metri.
La prima prova in mare, avvenuta con un vento di tramontana da 25 fino a 30 nodi (solitamente ci si basa su 5 nodi di vento e mare calmo) ha visto lo yacht raggiungere una velocità massima, con un carico del 60 per cento, di 16,5 nodi. Da segnalare che nella cabina armatoriale e in quella Vip il livello di rumore rimane al di sotto dei 50 decibel.
L’S501 (2x kW 746, 1.600 rpm, 8V4000M54R, TIER III) ha, a un’andatura di crociera di 13,5 nodi, un’autonomia di oltre 5.000 miglia nautiche.
THE OFFICIAL DEBUT. THE NEW MEGA YACHT S501 M/Y VERTIGE DEBUTS OFFICIALLY IN THESE DAYS DURING THE MONACO BOAT SHOW 2017.
The Tankoa S501 Vertige, with its elegant and timeless balanced design and entirely built of light alloy Aluminum 5083, is a six cabin yacht (length overall 49,90 mt and beam max 9,40 mt) including two suites on the main deck and huge open air spaces.
One of the several objectives assigned to Francesco Paszkowski’s design team was to maintain a constant visual contact with the sea. The entire layout was specifically designed to offer maximum freedom of movement for owners and guests letting them move from deck to deck and from inside to outside without mixing with the crew who use their own special paths while carrying out their duties. The after area of the main deck includes an oversized sun-pad and a spacious open air lounge with bar with twin three meter long extendable bulwarks to keep clients in close contact with the sea. The after area of the upper deck offers a dining zone seating up to 14 guests and a wraparound sofa seating more than 20 with a disappearing TV screen while the forward part hosts a solarium and open-air lounge offering guests the maximum in privacy. But what stands out most is the sundeck extension, featuring an uninterrupted view of the entire horizon from the open-air lounge and bar zone and including two solariums, one fitted with sunbeds while the second has it’s sunbeds surrounding the swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Descending to the aft part of the lower deck, directly overlooking the water from a folding platform, we find the beach club, with a bar zone and gym with shower and day toilet. To complete the rich list of features offered on board the Tankoa S501 Vertige we have the garage and jet-ski storage area. The garage for the 7 meters main tender occupies the aft end of the lower deck, while the jet-ski storage area is forward on the main deck and also houses the second tender in addition to two jet-skis.
The interiors were designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design Studio in collaboration with Margherita Casprini to reflect a modern yet warm atmosphere. The yacht’s leit-motiveis the constant balance between the teak and rosewood.
THE YARD’S COMMENTS AFTER THE FIRST SEA TRIALS
Based on the specifics of the contract, top speed was to be 16 knots at half-load. The sea trial performance results for the 50 meter M/Y Vertige were supposed to have been carried out with a calm sea and in 5 knots of wind. The actual trails took place instead in a short 70cm chop and a strong northerly of 25 to 30 knots. Edoardo Ratto, General Manager of Tankoa Yachts: “The first sea trail lasted about eight hours and was simply incredible. Vertige reached her top speed of 16.5 knots with a 60% load (about 33,00 liters of diesel and more than 20,000 of water). The S501 will have a cruising range of over 5,000 nautical miles at 13.5 knots -this will make a real difference when cross-ing the Atlantic. Vibration is inexistent and the noise level is below contract: just think, in the owner’s and VIP cabins it’s less than 50 db.
