The group has been building in fibreglass under the Amer Yachts brand for over 30 years and enjoys a loyal customer base, but the largest model in its composite range to date, the 36.5-metre Amer 120, is fully half the overall length and a fraction of the volume.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340522/image/large-b26af8d7cdbf9d5a24efba8f37619b6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340522">“It’s true we’re known for our smaller fibreglass boats, but Permare also has three refit shipyards in Liguria – <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanremo Ship s.r.l.

The new yacht bears a distinct family resemblance with its raised fo'c's'le and open foredeck for storing tenders, but is a much more sophisticated version of the Brazilian boat in every way. Moreover, as a full-custom Ice Class project it differs from the other two hulls in build that form part of the Amer Steel series designed by Antonio Luxardo of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340520/image/large-33f20b64177b629e1c30ee582ba4c111.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340520">“The owner went all over the place with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1257" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Far Far Away46.58m (152'10&quot;)INACE Yachts2012">Far Far Away</a> and knew exactly what he wanted,” says De Basto. “His new yacht, which will be called Even Further, is basically a distillation of everything he liked about the old one minus the things he didn’t like, such as the Jacuzzi on the fly bridge that he never used, and I added some of my own ideas along the way.”One such idea are the two cranes integrated into the forward bulwarks, a feature that appeared in De Basto’s 62-metre Nautilus concept for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts</a>. The two 7.5-metre tenders stored in the foredeck well are large for the size of yacht, hence the cranes have a lifting capacity of 2,500kg (one will also serve as a life-saving appliance for the rescue tender) and a reach of 7 metres. At the time of our visit to Pisa, the cranes were still being built by Mor Saverio, a specialist in the design and construction of hydraulic hardware in Brescia in northern Italy. Although it has been suppling the yachting industry with platforms, gangways and shell doors for 45 years, the brand is less well known than some other suppliers of hydraulic equipment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340496/image/large-cd731117ef9c5462f415f14253a1de22.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340496">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a> gave us a lot freedom to make certain decisions when it came to the technical design process,” says Luxardo. “For example, they did not necessarily have contacts with the best suppliers for a steel project, so we developed the interface with the right companies so we could integrate the technical components into the design from the start. If you can define the maker’s list in advance it avoids revisions down the line and improves the build quality.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> engineered the whole yacht in 3D and optimised the the concept and hull lines by De Basto to match the common technical platform developed for the Amer Steel series.

Based on average operational profiles, the &nbsp;dual-power input is designed to offer increased flexibility, modularity and sustainability. The platform is also pre-prepared for a mix of power sources, from combustion engines running on renewable fuels to fully electric or hybrid solutions (see the article Going Pro on how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> developed the system in <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 6 of How to Build It</a>) .&nbsp;The four engines, each with their own SCR unit, occupy a slightly smaller footprint than a pair of bigger engines with drive shafts, but they still required a fresh look at the layout of the engine room to ensure – in Zignego’s words – “everything fit everything into a compact space on a compact yacht.” In addition, the IPS system was originally designed for semi-displacement and planing boats and you can’t just copy and paste it onto a steel displacement hull. Unlike traditional shaft drives, the pods have to be mounted parallel to the hull to ensure all the available power is used to drive the yacht forward efficiently, but the buttocks of a displacement hull slope up towards the stern. To create a horizontal surface for mounting the pods, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> had to design a hydrodynamic ‘blister’ under the stern and shared its CFD data and tank test results at MARIN with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> so it could finalise the through-hull interface.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340523/image/large-7087805b4d4bad673fe3fc61fc560592.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340523"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340500/image/large-339c0872950eeeb08400db4c1efb586b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340500">CHILL OUTAmer yachts customarily have air-conditioned engine rooms and the Amer 41 Steel is equipped with a separate chiller system for the engine room. Ordinarily, supply and extraction fans take care of the combustion air intake and fresh outside air to dissipate heat from engines, boilers, generators and electrical equipment. This can involve very large amounts of air with huge fans and ducting systems. According to ISO 8861 the base for the ambient outside temperature is set at 35°C with a temperature rise from the passing air of 12.5K. But If you’re sailing in an area where the outside air temperature is higher or cruising in an icy area with sub-zero temperatures – as the Ice Class explorer is likely to do – a different approach is needed.“Instead of big fans we have a dedicated chiller and RCU [Recycled air handling] that controls the air circulation in the engine room, but also the pressure, temperature and humidity level, which brings multiple benefits,” says Luxardo. “Everything lasts longer and runs better because you’re removing the humidity and most equipment prefers cooler air; watermakers are very sensitive to heat, for example. At the same time, you’re getting rid of those big, noisy air ducts and you can see that smaller trunking means we have more usable space in the main saloon.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340522/image/large-b26af8d7cdbf9d5a24efba8f37619b6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340522">Amer Yachts has a loyal client base that tends to move up in size with the brand, but there comes a point when that means building in steel or aluminium and they have to look elsewhere. By establishing Amer Steel, the strategy is to keep those customers in the family fold.“It may be a client looking to upscale from fibreglass, or someone who has already owned metal yachts and has a specific idea for something a bit different,” concludes Amerio. “We’re a boutique shipyard in some ways because we build in small numbers, but that means we can also be very flexible if owners come to us well prepared with clear ideas about what they want.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340492/image/large-6114b87d6a5831013f96e872421c1d5f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340492">Sidebar: Sustainable construction<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a> was founded by Fernando Amerio in 1973 in Sanremo to offer nautical services to a growing clientele from Liguria and the nearby French Riviera. In the early ‘90s, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l.

Today, its products have been exported well beyond the Mediterraean to &nbsp;the USA, the Middle East and the Far East. Sustainable solutions have long been central to the brand’s ethos and Barbara Amerio is both company CEO and and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) manager.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340499/image/large-05be04c617857d652e21af607b5c080e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340499">Steel is a recyclable material, but what about alternatives to fibreglass for your composite production?We’re looking into hybrid materials to replace traditional fibreglass and the Amer 120, our biggest model which will be presented this year, was designed to use less composite by replacing it with aluminium for the superstructure. This reduced the amount of fibreglass for the hull and the flybridge by four tonnes. Now we’re going a step further and introducing a third material: basalt fibre derived from melting basalt rock at extremely high temperatures and then processing it into fine filaments that are woven to create a cloth. Basalt cloth is a versatile material with a wide range of applications and provides excellent mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrical properties.This is all part of an ESG [Environmental, Social, and Governance]&nbsp;study with RINA to measure the integration of sustainable principles into our corporate strategies and activities. The assessment uses a rating methodology based on a set of key indicators according to international best practices. We’ve created an international working group with the bio-resin coming from France, the PET core from Sweden, and the basalt fibre from Germany to create a bio-composite that will be a completely recyclable. We’ve already ordered the first shipment of RINA-certified basalt fibre, and the idea is to build two decks, one in fibreglass and one using basalt fibre, then make comparison tests. All this is happening in Tuscany where our mould-maker will be the first to infuse the deck of a 106-footer made from this new hybrid material. We want to be the first to develop something that works, but once we have the results we don’t plan to keep it to ourselves and will make our findings available to other builders.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340494/image/large-28c832c88ee86983126f199e13514399.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340494">Tell us more about the new shipyard Amer is planning in Pisa Navicelli.It represents an investment of around €12 million in total and the local municipality has already accepted our development plans. We’re just waiting for final approval as the building is close to the airport; if all goes well we hope to be operational by the end of 2025. It will be the production base for Amer Steel where we will build yachts from 40 to 70-plus metres, but our sweet spot is somewhere in the middle where we can still use Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. It will be a cutting-edge facility, both in terms of architecture and environmental impact, with human capital at the centre of its design. The idea is that the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l.

He was one of the first captains to charter a boat into Antigua, navigating the waters even before the existence of docks or other major infrastructure.&nbsp;He is known for his approachability and unwavering commitment to his crew. During ocean crossings, he dedicates time to teach navigation skills and willingly imparts his knowledge to anyone with questions.&nbsp;Simon's also actively contributes to the broader yachting community. An example of his commitment to developing talent is his effort to engage with the RYA chairwoman. This interaction aimed to ensure that new talents are nurtured, fostering the growth of new crew members and, eventually, future captains.How has your background as a crew member and in sales influenced your perspective and approach?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297036/image/large-6cdbe264ad0575a0a5ea6057b975bbf1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297036">Throughout my career, I've acquired practical knowledge and hands-on experience, gaining insights into the day-to-day operations and the essential elements that make a yacht ideal for an owner. An often overlooked aspect is the pivotal role of the crew in shaping the owner's experience. The contentment of the crew is critical, and one significant factor contributing to their satisfaction is the functional design of the yacht. This encompasses considerations from living accommodations to practical storage solutions, including provisions for flatware, service storage, and the overall design of the galley.The impact of an unhappy crew is well-known – high turnover not only incurs increased costs but also poses a potential detriment to the owner's overall enjoyment of the vessel. Serving as a second engineer has provided me with a robust background in electronics, IT, and engineering.&nbsp;This technical expertise extends beyond the comfort aspects of a yacht; it's about understanding the intricate technicalities. This engineering focus is crucial because it allows me to better interpret an owner's desires. Having been onboard with owners, both as crew and working for them, I recognise the diversity in their preferences; each owner is unique.How did you come to obtain the central agency of the first hull of the 25m&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victory Design s.r.l.

During initial discussions, I, along with our marketing director and Toby Maclaurin, our sales director, engaged in a personalised conversation. Our approachability resonated with them. What truly sealed the deal was our commitment to responsiveness. By responsiveness, I don't mean answering emails at late hours; rather, it's about promptly providing candid answers to their inquiries and avoiding commitments that cannot be fulfilled.&nbsp;The emphasis on genuine communication played a crucial role in securing their trust. With considerable interest in the vessel. We've also successfully secured the Central Agency for the subsequent nine hulls.What emerging trends in yacht sales have you seen over the past six months?There is a noticeable trend leaning towards catamarans, and at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Independence (Company)">Ocean Independence</a>, we're actively involved in a project with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunreef Yachts (Company)">Sunreef</a> that is currently in the build phase. It's amusing to reflect on my previous experience working on catamarans, like Necker Belle, back when they were not as mainstream. Now, we're witnessing an increasing presence of catamarans in the market. Two significant announcements at this year's <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/182" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2023">Monaco Yacht Show</a> further highlight this trend, the 43.5-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/511" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tecnomar (Company)">Tecnomar</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10542" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="This Is It43.5m (142'9&quot;)Tecnomar2024">This Is It</a> and the 46.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/51" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Perini Navi (Company)">Perini Navi</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artexplorer46.6m (152'11&quot;)Perini Navi2024">Artexplorer</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297039/image/large-50f3788e7743975b829d52ed60fc3860.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297039">Catamarans are notably wider than most motor yachts, providing an expansive and stable platform. This enhanced stability is particularly noteworthy in the current market landscape. For example, during Christmas on Necker Belle, we had a Christmas tree up even while sailing because it was that stable. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/275060/image/large-b5bf543e35b215921218ad1d07389a10.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/275060">I believe speed is still crucial because there are many clients, particularly the younger ones we're discussing. They have less time, likely due to their active work schedules. Being reachable is essential for them, as they aim to maximise their time, wanting to see and do more. What sets the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bolide 8024.9m (81'8&quot;)Victory Design s.r.l.2023">Bolide 80</a> apart is her unique efficiency achieved through speed, allowing her to cover more ground with significantly lower fuel consumption compared to yachts of a similar size.There is a notable shift towards environmentally conscious practices in the superyacht industry. Is this emphasis on sustainability a response to the evident costs associated with conventional approaches? Incidents involving the malicious throwing of hardware paint on superyachts have rendered them vulnerable, compelling owners to be concerned about the security of their vessels even within supposedly secure marinas. Consequently, the urgency to adopt greener alternatives has gained significant traction.Finally, personally, if you could invest in a yacht, what would you choose and why?If I were to invest in a yacht, my preferences would vary for different reasons. Firstly, I'm drawn to classics, such as the 36.58-metre<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/192" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard (Company)">&nbsp;Camper &amp; Nicholsons</a> sailing yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1276" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Shamrock V36.58m (120'0&quot;)Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard1930">Shamrock Five</a>. Additionally, I hold a fondness for old classic motor yachts. The allure lies in my appreciation for the historical significance these vessels carry.&nbsp;Preserving their legacy is not just a personal preference but a commitment to safeguarding their history. These classic yachts are more than vessels; they are veritable works of art. Their timeless beauty and influence on contemporary boat design make them an enduring source of inspiration, with many features we see today rooted in their legacy. mirroring the same sentiment for their historical value and impact on the evolution of boat design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297127/image/large-06c267f5ce10432c2a04f9406ea121e9.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297127">Looking towards the future, a hybrid sailing catamaran intrigues me. Its hybrid nature aligns with my commitment to environmental sustainability. Such vessels offer an extended range and a greener footprint, reflecting a more responsible approach to yacht ownership.
