In addition, Alicia received a complete rebuild of her onboard systems, many of which have been replaced by some of the latest technology available, as MD of SMS, Chris Norman comments. “We’ve managed to install an equipment package suited to a 1000 tonne vessel into a 400 tonne one. A tremendous amount of thought has gone into the machinery space, pipe verticals (due to limited headroom) and the ship’s tank configuration.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/45532/image/large-35488236cbd961c350f0746fe3079c67.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/45532"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/45531/image/large-3df5c07179c5dfa34f9c0f75eb231ac6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/45531">Talking about the inspiration behind the project, Norman explains it all came from the owner’s vision to restore the vessel to her original launch day state.&nbsp;“The Owners aspirations stem from the vessels true form as MY Janidore; his attention to detail and passion have helped not only lead an inspired team but also restore a truly unique and genuinely wonderful Classic to her former glory.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/45533/image/large-af655c986c56230b75946ee3886e1cf0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/45533">Peter Morton, the CEO of The SMS Group commented:&nbsp;“Today’s launch is a major positive milestone in another huge refit project for the SMS Group, all our colleagues and our suppliers. As a company we are genuinely thrilled to have had the inspiration and support of another truly exceptional British businessman; and whilst the project has been challenging the end result is simply outstanding. Alicia is unquestionably beautiful.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/45530/image/large-f906594b2c04cec03e8d4c775d0d2ad9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/45530">For her owner, it seems the rebuilding process was just as enjoyable: “Refitting Alicia in the UK was the right call and it has been an absolute delight; the end result will be something that we can all be very proud of - she’s fantastic, she’s British - and she’s truly unique. She will be a big part of our family for many years to come."Built in 1930 by Defoe Shipbuilding Co. with a steel hull and superstructure, the vessel’s original naval architecture is by John H. Wells, while Rainsford Mann Design planned the very first interiors on board. Her exterior design was completed by the two companies in partnership.

Classic 1930 superyacht Alicia relaunched after three-year restoration

The 51 metre classic styled clipper bow yacht RS Eden arrived at the Solent Refit yard in Southampton, England on 9th March for slipping and assessment before she undertakes her latest refit. Built in 1930 by Defoe Shipbuilding Co. with a steel hull and superstructure, she features naval architecture by John H. Wells, and interior design by Rainsford Mann Design. Her exterior design was completed by the two companies in partnership.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152850/image/large-3388ca16a0c4a0e21a17f838c176ac35.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152850">On board, the historical yacht accommodates up to 11 guests over 6 cabins, as well as a crew of up to 9.

Rainsford Mann Design (RMD) has announced that their 90 metre motor yacht project Illusion has begun construction at Raffles Shipyard in China. The superyacht was designed taking inspiration from the Rolls Royce motorcar as the main styling influence, which can be seen particularly in the stem bow and flowing sheer line. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136887/image/large-d01ff66180c4e64dba661541421df886.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136887">Rolls Royce Marine supplies all of the main engineering components for this project.

New 88 metre design by RMD

Superyacht design agency RSD (Rainsford Saunders Design) has announced that the company will be making a significant transition over the next few weeks. After eight years of successful partnership with Rupert Rainsford Mann and in an amicable arrangement, Tim Saunders has decided to continue his career in yacht design independently of RSD. As of June 2009, Tim will leave RSD to work on a range of new projects under the banner of Tim Saunders Yacht Design; providing distinctive design solutions to owners and yards around the world. A separate announcement regarding TSYD will be issued shortly. At the same time, RSD will be renamed RMD - Rainsford Mann Design - with Rupert becoming the sole owner. RMD will continue to focus on its core business of designing motor yachts for both the new build and refit markets and, with its established team of talented designers, the transition is expected to be smooth. “The partnership was a great experience,” commented Tim Saunders, “but after eight years I feel ready for a fresh challenge.” “Tim leaves the company in good shape for the future,” added Rupert Mann. “We wish him every success in his new venture.”Rainsford Mann Design Ltd +44 (0)20 7384 5522 <a href="mailto:info@rmd-marine.com?subject=Rainsford%20Mann%20Design%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@rmd-marine.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rmd-marine.com">www.rmd-marine.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.timsaundersyachtdesign.com">www.timsaundersyachtdesign.com</a>

Rainsford Saunders Design changes to Rainsford Mann Design

A stunning family-friendly 63-metre superyacht is currently under development at Rainsford Saunders Design – one of the UK’s most innovative yacht design firms. For owners cruising privately with members of their extended family and friends – including young children and energetic teenagers – keeping everyone enjoyably and safely entertained while afloat is a top priority. This superb 63-metre design from RSD is definitely a yacht for all the family. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/125820/image/large-a4be73ac873460e43bf6954c77189248.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125820">Laid out over four decks, the yacht features extensive outdoor areas providing a range of water sport and leisure options – including an oversized swimming platform aft, plus garaging for jet-skis, water-skis and diving equipment, and a small gym. For maximum flexibility on the mooring there are tender garages both fore and aft, and the crew tender is also stored forward to preserve the privacy of the main aft area. The first deck holds the swimming pool, while a hot tub with bar and outside dining area provides a focal point for entertaining up on the flybridge. The traditional dining area on the main deck has been replaced by a library-cum-cinema, so meals are taken on an extendable table accommodating up to 14 people in the sky lounge, which is situated on the bridge deck to give stunning views out across the water. Railings are part glass, part chrome and completely gap-free, while tenders are stored under hydraulic canopies forward so they are safely tucked out of sight and reach until needed. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/125821/image/large-6354aea1e2868f9d1821fe7eab863c81.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125821">Top of the specification comes the need for maximum daylight to reflect the owner’s love of the outdoors and ensure that views from all cabins are unrestricted, so windows are full-height in all reception areas. In addition the owner’s suite, positioned forward on the main deck and extending its full width, features its own private balcony as well as an office that can be converted when needed into a spare cabin for staff or children. The overall length of this yacht is perfect for Mediterranean cruising, where many marinas have a maximum single berth capacity of 63 metres, and at top speeds of around 17 knots she will provide a stable and leisurely cruising experience for all ages. However, with a range exceeding 5500 nautical miles, including an allowance for 10 percent fuel reserve, so she will be quite capable of transatlantic crossings and sailing to more remote destinations. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/125822/image/large-3be3a748878ebacdf301fd907ab51633.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125822">RSD Director Rupert Rainsford Mann stated: “this 63-metre superyacht is designed for relaxed socialising and serious on-the-water enjoyment for guests of all ages. Her lines are nicely balanced due to the absence of any need for helicopter access, which gives us a greater proportion of deck space to play with for a wide range of recreational activities. We have given a lot of thought to the family cruising expedient and ensured that this vessel is both safe and fun for the younger generation to holiday aboard. I am confident that she will be a delight to her owner and guests wherever they sail her.”

New 63m superyacht from Rainsford Saunders Design

Announced in September 2007, the refit of the 140 feet (43-metres) <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1275">Renegade</a> presents a different array of challenges to the Rainsford Saunders Design team. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123420/image/large-c26b8f86d28cacdc2bb1658ab32c77b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123420">Originally styled by Bernie Cohen and launched in Australia in 1992 this popular charter yacht has visited just about every sea the world has to offer and even has a couple of circumnavigations to her credit. Late 2007 sees her in Barcelona shipyard MB’92 in the early stages of a major external styling exercise (see picture above) alongside a comprehensive interior redesign. The project is continuously evolving as work progresses, and the modernised and revitalised <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1275">Renegade</a> is expected to return to the water for sea-trials in the spring of 2008.

Rainsford Saunders re-designs Renegade

One of the most challenging refits to be undertaken anywhere in recent years, the transformation of the 49.5-metre 1930s classic Fulmara into <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1042">R/S Eden</a> was finally revealed to the world in the summer of 2007. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123416/image/large-d76bd3a1531d9e1ed5486dfc35b1050d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123416">Fulmara in Venice before her reconstructionWhat began as a major refit rapidly became an almost complete reconstruction from the keel up as the true extent of the long-term corrosion - ultimately extending to the frames themselves - gradually became apparent. While assiduously keeping to their brief to maintain historical authenticity the modifications incorporated by the RSD team included a completely new clipper-style bow and the cutting down of the bulwarks to allow more light into the dining room and adjacent accommodation. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123417/image/large-0e42b5606964e4496f0baa1ef0a95a33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123417"> <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1042">R/S Eden</a> leaving Monaco after the Classic WeekThe upper deck has also been completely redesigned to incorporate a lengthened superstructure that includes an owner’s office / library aft of the wheelhouse and a Captain’s cabin. The roof above provides both tender stowage and a private area for sunbathing. Down below, the layout of the accommodation remains largely faithful to the 1930s design with six cabins in addition to the owner’s suite, and a substantial proportion of the features and materials used likewise date back to the original construction. A truly unique project, and one that only a yacht design team with the breadth of skills that lie within RSD would be able to fulfill so successfully. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123418/image/large-f6d8d6137e38e73e7b1b9a91ece9259b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123418">Photo credit: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.superyachtphoto.com">Benoit Donne &amp; Merijn de Waard / Yacht-Images.com</a>

Rainsford Saunders completes the refit of R/S Eden

Rainsford Saunders Design is currently working on a 48.5m high speed motor yacht for a Middle Eastern client. The brief is to create a unique, eye-catching motor yacht that exhibits the highest levels of comfort and convenience while at the same time being capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/122184/image/large-bad41b13e4e52d44dd5d108728d477f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/122184"> The RSD 48.5-metre is a remarkable yacht in many ways, not least as a result of her distinctive rotunda-style configuration on her two uppermost decks. The innovative styling is complemented by the sophistication of her systems; which include a retractable helipad on her upper aft deck that ensures that owner and guests can join and leave the boat in the most convenient way possible without compromising her graceful lines, and retractable bridge wing stations that enable the yacht to be manoeuvred safely in the tightest harbours and anchorages. The bathing platform can also be both lowered and extended at the touch of a button to aid guests engaged in scuba diving and other water sports. The accommodation is centred around a main suite for the owner and his family that is uncompromising in its attention to meeting every possible need. Spread over two exclusive decks it includes a private dining area and galley, office, dedicated foredeck terrace, gym and sauna, together with four, en-suite, double cabins. The guests also want for nothing with a further three double cabins with full en-suite located on the lower deck. As is to be expected with a yacht of this size, there are extensive entertainment areas with external terraces accessible from all three decks, plus seating on the flying bridge. The generously proportioned circular sky lounge on the uppermost deck is perhaps the most dramatic, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding seascapes while protected from wind and sun. The mid deck houses the main saloon and entertainment area together with a circular dining space with retractable glass screens that give the choice between al fresco and enclosed socialising at the touch of a button. A combined diesel and gas (CODAG) propulsion system will give this distinctive yacht a top speed in excess of 40 knots, yet at optimum cruising speed she will have an expected range approaching 3,500 nm. An exceptional yacht, with exceptional capabilities.
