VOLPINI 2 is a yacht of many ‘firsts’. She is the first build of Tim Heywood’s fabulous design for our Limited Editions range, the Amels 188, which later became the Amels 200. She is also the world’s first IMO Tier III compliant new build yacht and the first Amels Hybrid Power yacht. She was our first collaboration with Reymond Langton who created the interior design. But regardless of all her firsts, we are most proud of VOLPINI 2 being second – the second Amels yacht for her owner.

Video: Newly delivered Amels LE188 yacht Volpini 2 cruises Capri

Amels  has released a video capturing  Volpini 2  on her inaugural cruise of Capri after being delivered last month.

The first hull in the Dutch boatbuilder's Limited Editions 188 series, Volpini 2 is seen cruising the crystal clear waters off the Italian island.

The 57.7 metre displacement yacht was delivered last month at Amels' yard in the Netherlands. She was sold in 2017 with SYM Superyacht Management’s Ben Young overseeing the build on behalf of the owner, a repeat Amels client.

He thanked Amels for delivering Volpini 2 “on time and on budget. “The entire Amels team were a real pleasure to work alongside with each and every person getting behind the project to deliver,” he said.

The yacht features exterior styling by Tim Heywood and interiors penned by Reymond Langton design studio.

First introduced at the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show , the Amels Limited Editions 188 is the eighth design in this highly successful collection, which has spawned more than 20 hulls over 52 metres since the first Limited Editions 171 Deniki hit the water in 2007.

The 188 features a 10.6 metre beam that allows for a spacious interior totalling 970GT. Accommodation is for 12 guests split between six cabins, including an owner’s cabin  measuring 80 square metres, a VIP cabin on the bridge deck, two doubles and two twins. The crew quarters allows for a staff of up to 13 people.

Amels design manager Hans Konings said the yacht’s design was “an important milestone for Amels". “We’re very proud of the technology innovations that have gone into her design, the culmination of our Amels 188 Research and Development programme, which we started in 2014.”

During the yacht's launch in April, Heywood said, "She's a design that I am very proud of" and noted clever design features such as flying buttress used as an architectural feature in the centre of boat which conceal electronic cables and save space.

While Volpini 2 carries forward the familiar look of the Limited Editions lineup, Heywood pointed out tweaks such as moving the hand rails and guard rails outward aft, which makes decks look grander, and adding windows in the aft door, which "makes a big difference when cruising as it gives more light [to the interior]".

Pascale Reymond of Reymond Langton Design said of the new project, "It's challenging, because we're used to designing for individuals. We have to look at design in different ways when designing for a Limited Editions yacht." She describes the interior concept of the Amels LE188 as having some areas of calm, some with drama and a contemporary but not cold motif.

The Amels 188 also features generous outdoor space spread over four decks which includes a 30 square metre superyacht beach club , including a gym, sauna and hammam.

Volpini 2  is the first hybrid powered Limited Editions yacht — she features Amels' own hybrid switchboard and Amels waste heat recovery systems. The yard believes that this system could offer a €150,000 return on investment over a three year period.

Volpini 2 has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a transatlantic cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles when trimmed back to 13 knots.

Other superyacht projects currently under development at the Dutch yard include a 78 metre full custom project , which is due for delivery in 2021.

2 Crew Members Under Investigation In Sicily Yacht Sinking

Shruti Rajkumar

As the investigation into the sinking of the superyacht off the coast of Sicily broadens, Italian prosecutors are now scrutinizing the actions of two other crew members in addition to the captain of the vessel.

On Wednesday, prosecutors placed crew members Tim Parker Eaton and Matthew Griffiths under investigation, according to The New York Times . Eaton was in charge of the yacht’s engine room, while Griffiths was on lookout duty the night the yacht sank.

When someone is placed under investigation in Italy, there is no guarantee that charges will follow.

The Bayesian, a 184-foot British-flagged yacht deemed unsinkable by its ship maker Perini Navi, went down in a storm off the coast of Sicily on Aug. 19, killing one crew member and six passengers, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah.

The yacht carried 22 people — 10 crew members and 12 guests who were there celebrating Lynch’s acquittal in June on all charges in a fraud case that followed the sale of his company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.

Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived by escaping on a lifeboat and were rescued by the sailboat Sir Robert Baden Powell. It remains unclear how the Bayesian sank, especially as the nearby Baden Powell remained largely unscathed despite the storm.

According to The Associated Press , Giovanni Costantino, head of the Italian Sea Group, which owns Perini Navi, said the yacht’s sinking was likely caused by human error.

“The ship sank because it took on water. From where, the investigators will say,” he told Italian state media, per the AP.

Captain James Cutfield is facing a manslaughter inquiry to determine whether his actions caused the shipwreck, Cutfield’s lawyer Giovanni Rizzuti told the Times on Tuesday. Prosecutors interviewed Cutfield this week, but he exercised his right to remain silent and is “very distressed,” according to Rizzuti.

This week, nine of the 10 crew members, including those under investigation, left Sicily, sources told the Times. In Italy, people under investigation are not prohibited from leaving the country.

Essex Police rescue two people from stricken yacht after sudden storm

Oliver Browning | Saturday 31 August 2024 11:18 BST

Essex Police rescue two people from stricken yacht after sudden storm

An Essex Police Marine Unit rescued two people earlier this month when their yacht got into difficulties off the coast of Clacton after a sudden storm whipped up.

Roy Harris and his partner Caroline Wilson were sailing back to the River Crouch from Kent on Sunday 25 August when the storm hit.

With his yacht, the Samphire, taking on water and its sail rope torn, Mr Harris radioed a PAN-PAN message to alert nearby boats and emergency services that their vessel had an urgent problem.

Sergeant Alex Southgate, PC John Perry and special constable Scott Mccabe were on Operation Wave-Breaker patrols in the force rib Sentinel when they picked up the distress call.

Working with the Dover Coastguard Operations Centre, they located the 40ft-yacht near an off-shore windfarm, four miles off Clacton.

Due to the weather conditions and the yacht’s damaged sail, the rescue journey took more than two hours in rough seas – it would usually take 45 minutes in normal conditions.

Crew member on tech tycoon mike lynch’s bayesian yacht tells of being thrown into water.

ROME – A crew member on Mike Lynch’s yacht has spoken of being thrown into the water and efforts to rescue passengers as a storm sank the vessel off Sicily this month, in a disaster that killed the British tech tycoon and six other people.

Matthew Griffiths, who was on watch duty on the night of the tragedy, told investigators that the crew members did everything they could to save those on board the Bayesian, according to comments reported by Italian news agency Ansa.

Tech tycoon Mike Lynch and six other people died Aug. 19 when the yacht sank off the coast of Sicily.

Griffiths, the boat’s captain James Cutfield , and ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton have been placed under investigation by the Italian authorities for potential manslaughter and shipwreck. Being investigated does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will follow.

“I woke up the captain when the wind was at 23 mph. He gave orders to wake everyone else,” Ansa quoted Griffiths as saying.

The boat's captain and ship engineer have been placed under investigation for potential manslaughter and shipwreck.

“The ship tilted and we were thrown into the water. Then we managed to get back up and tried to rescue those we could,” he added, describing the events of the early hours of Aug. 19, when the Bayesian had been anchored off the Sicilian port of Porticello.

“We were walking on the walls [of the boat]. We saved who we could, Cutfield also saved the little girl and her mother,” he said, referring to passenger Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter. In all there were 15 survivors of the wreck.

Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, were among the seven killed when the Bayesian superyacht sank.

Cutfield exercised his right to remain silent when questioned by prosecutors on Tuesday, his lawyers said, saying he was “worn out” and that they needed more time to build a defense case. Parker Eaton has not commented on the investigation.

Prosecutor Raffaele Cammarano said last week that the vessel was most likely hit by a “downburst”, a very strong downward wind.

However, the sinking has puzzled naval marine experts, who said a vessel like the Bayesian, built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini, should have withstood the storm and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did.

Prosecutors in the town of Termini Imerese, near Palermo, have said their investigation will take time, with the wreck yet to be salvaged from the sea.
