1 Madsummer by Lürssen Yachts, Espen Øino Naval Architects and Alberto Pinto A high tech yet visually appealing superyacht with harmonious forms and an eye-catching colour scheme. The hull is painted a baby blue colour typically used for smaller sized sports hulls, setting Madsummer apart from other yachts as a marvellous toy. A very personal yacht, she conveys serenity and privacy, along with a youthful, sociable spirit. There s no doubt that historic German shipyard Lürssen known for building colossal warships is used to dealing with gigantic dimensions for military vessels and private yachts alike. Indeed, judging by the jaw-dropping size of the yard s recent and current builds, gigantic is the only way to describe them. Take, for example, project J24, the 85-metre superyacht scheduled to launch next year. This year, Lürssen Yachts delivers three superyachts: in September, a 110-metre yacht, project name Darius; then in July, the 60-metre Arkley sistership to Linda Lou, which the yard launched in 2006; and finally in autumn, a 75-metre yacht project named Scout.

For guests, the deck has two pools on the topdeck, one with a spa and one with a jet-stream for swimming against the current. Last year, Lürssen delivered Martha Ann (70 m), completing the trilogy of three sisterships, each measuring 230 feet, and each commissioned by the same Owner. The trilogy began in 2006 with the launch of Apoise,; she was followed by the Saint Nicolas in 2007, presented in a lengthy article last year in issue number 8 of Yacht Première; and the trilogy was concluded in 2008 when Martha Anna took to the water. The latter was presented earlier this year in issue number 10 of Yacht Première. In the past year, Lürssen Yachts has delivered some four other superyachts in addition to Martha Ann. Namely, the 155-metre Al Said,; the 110-metre Dilbar,; Vive la Vie (60 m,), and lastly, Madsummer, a 78-metre yacht, featured in this issue of Yacht Première. With her contract drawn up back in 2005 and delivery made in late 2008, Madsummer immediately left for her first cruise in the Caribbean, and has spent the summer season in the Med, where her routes coincided with Kismet (68 m / 223 ft); Kismet was delivered by the same yard at the beginning of Kismet was featured two years ago in issue number 5 of Yacht Première. Both yachts have spent the summer on private charter cruises managed by Moran Yacht&Ship, a yacht brokerage company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Moran Yacht&Ship also specialises in construction consulting and yacht management and in fact Robert Moran himself supervised the Madsummer project, which was also developed together with Captain Chris Beirne, representing the Owner. Both these professionals brought their immense experience and expertise to the project, working closely with Lürssen Yachts

7 Madsummer On the Owner s deck, the lounge has a veranda overlooking the aft deck, shaded by the helipad platform above. With teak wood flooring, it has sliding glass doors to allow diners the choice between an indoor or outdoor dining experience. The main dimensional and technical data Assigned hull no , Madsummer was completed at Lürssen Yachts facilities in Rendsburg on the Kiel Canal. She was built using steel for the hull and aluminium for the superstructure. The new naval unit respects the Lloyd s Register of Shipping classification, Maltese Cross 100A1 SSC Yacht mono G6, LMC UMS and MCA standards. Madsummer s length overall is nearly 78.5 metres, or 257 ft, with a length at waterline of nearly 67 metres, or 219 ft. Her maximum beam is 13.5 metres (just over 44 feet); her hull s draught when fully loaded is just under 4 metres, nearly 12 and a half feet, while she displaces 1978 tons. Madsummer s engine room is installed with twin V 16 Caterpillar engines, from the CAT 3516C DiTA SCAC series. Each of these has 78 litres of displacement (around 4765 cc), with a maximum output of 2682 bhp (2000 bkw), supplied at 1600 rpm. The two engines are combined with Reintjes reduction gearboxes and connected via transmission shafts to twin fixed-pitch propulsion propellers by Piening. This powerplant allows Madsummer to maintain an economy cruising speed of 12 knots and reach a top speed of 17 knots. At 12 knots, her range is nearly 6 thousand nautical miles, using fuel tanks with a capacity of 126 thousand litres, equivalent to nearly 33,400 US gallons. Madsummer s freshwater tanks can hold 40 thousand litres (around 10,600 US gallons) and are supplied by a Hem system with two watermakers, each producing 25 thousand litres of water daily (around 6,600 US gallons). The yacht s wastewater system also includes a tank for collecting treated water, which can hold 5 thousand litres (more than 1,300 US gallons); this keeps the treated water on board to avoid releasing it into protected natural environments

8 Madsummer This page and following pages, aft main deck and wheelhouse. Madsummer has plenty of space for entertaining and relaxation, and can accommodate a remarkable number of guests. The wheelhouse is made from plane and sucupira woods, with sycamore inlays and blue leather upholstery. Madsummer s hull has Rolls Royce steering gear with two high-lift rudders, a 240-kW bowthruster and a 200-kW sternthruster, both by Brunvoll, as well as a Quantum zero-speed stabilizer system set up with two pairs of fins, which works both during cruising and when moored. Madsummer has four generator units on board, all based upon six-cylinder inline diesel generators by Caterpillar. The three main generators are from the CAT C18 series: one CAT C18 producing 450 ekw / 563 kva at 1500 rpm and another two CAT C18s producing 275 ekw / 344 kva at 1500 rpm. Then there is the Cat C9 series emergency generator, which produces 142 ekw / 178 kva when running at 1500 rpm. Madsummer s equipment includes three tenders and four waverunners. A covered cradle on the fore deck provides storage for the 22-ft (6.5m) Zodiac rescue and service tender, while the garage on the lower aft deck contains the two main tenders: one open sport measuring 25 ft (7.5 m), and a 30-ft (9 metres) covered limo. The garage also contains four SeaDoo waverunners (RXT 215 model). The yacht concept and the special features Like all of Lürssen Yachts vessels, Madsummer is an ocean-going yacht with excellent performance and seaworthy qualities. She s suitable for sailing all over the world and even circumnavigating the globe. Her low-consumption engines and large fuel tanks mean she can achieve such considerable ranges. Above all, though, Madsummer is a high-tech superyacht with a wealth of interesting features. First of all, she offers excellent handling both in port, in narrow spots, and on the open water where, for example, she can change direction with a turning diameter of less than two lengths of the ship

10 Madsummer A select variety of fine hardwoods has been used to intriguing effect in Madsummer s interiors. They are combined together with other materials such as textiles, marble and metal, creating harmonious toning accords as well as bright colour contrasts. She also performs well when it comes to stopping space, managing to slow from twelve to zero knots in around a minute, or within 250 metres. Madsummer s technology is state-of-the-art: her bridge has an integrated bridge and security system with sensors and cameras; furthermore, as in the control room of the engine room, for example, she has a full range of instruments that use sensors and special software to constantly analyze the functioning of the engines and other equipment. All of the systems and units on board Madsummer were custom-made to satisfy the requests of the client; these include the lighting systems and automation apparatus, the alarm and monitoring systems and those for power production and management. For example, each of the three main generators (contained in soundproof cabinets) is able to single-handedly supply the required amount of energy to keep the yacht running. Madsummer s accessories also include a tender bay tank for collecting contaminated water from tender maintenance work; and a separate high-pressure washing system for the decks, containing a special 15-thousand-litre tank. Advanced shock absorption systems to reduce noise and vibration guarantee Madsummer s passengers a calm cruise on board a yacht that is incredibly silent while under power; while a zero speed stabilizer system ensures that passengers are comfortable when at anchor, considerably reducing the impact of wave motion. Madsummer s Owner and guests are able to travel to and from the yacht quickly thanks to the helipad on the aft bridge deck, known as the helideck. In addition to the helipad, the helideck has a full set of equipment including a refuelling station and special storage spaces set up to safely pack away the dismantled propeller blades of the helicopter when not in use and during cruising

As we said earlier, this colour is traditionally used for much smaller sports vessels, but in this case it sets Madsummer apart from her peers. Even on board, Madsummer s layout expresses her calling as an absolutely private, intimate yacht. Although her size would have allowed it, Madsummer does not have the grandiose foyers or imposing staircases typically found on yachts that are designed for ostentation and display.. (This sentence does not fit in here better when the text is about the technical things) Instead, Madsummer was created for an Owner who values his privacy and peace and quiet. Although a very private yacht, she still has an element of fun sociability, and these qualities are evident in the various different areas on board. Her reserved character is underlined by the fact that the Owner has an entire deck to himself, with his own terrace complete with swimming pool and solarium. But her sociable side comes through on the other decks, designed to accommodate a considerable number of guests in various areas for entertainment and relaxation. The Owner s lounge has zebrawood wall panelling, light blue upholstered sofas and some orange-tinted pieces of furniture. The main lounge has polkadottedmaple wood with different wood inserts, white upholstered sofas and blue leather panelling furniture. The The upper master saloon saloon The Owner s saloon

Madsummer has two pools, both surrounded by sunbeds and sunpads: one has a hot tub and the other a jetstream for swimming against the current. A special system stores the pool water in a conditioning tank so that the pools are always ready for use even at short notice. Before it is let into the pool, the water is run through a sanitizing system; this uses active carbon filters to purify the water, silver ions to disinfect it and UV rays to sterilize it. Madsummer s interior design is by Alberto Pinto, and she is worlds apart from other, overly formal yachts, with bright, pure colours featuring throughout her interior. The Owner specifically requested that Madsummer have a visibly young, sporty look. All of her interior areas are light and airy, elegant and perfectly finished, making them particularly restful to look at. As they move through the various spaces, guests will be amazed by the changes in the interior design and in the freely arranged objects: there s no risk of becoming bored by monotonous repetition of the same details over and over again. Elements of surprise lie in store throughout, especially positioned to draw to the gaze towards new, interesting details. A carefully selected variety of hardwoods has been used, combined to intriguing effect with one another and with other materials such as textiles, marble and metal; the result is a harmonious look that still manages to include contrasts of bright colours.

Each cabin, along with its en-suite bathroom, has its own colour: blue, pink, red, white, yellow. The basic colour is also echoed in the ceiling cornices and in the furnishing details, particularly in the fabrics used for the headboards and bed covers, pillows and cushions. Last but not least, the wheelhouse is in plane and blue leather wood with sycamore inserts; the instrument console, pilot s chair and guest sofas are all upholstered in blue leather.
