Welcome to SYM Superyacht Management

SYM is a Superyacht Management company with a refreshingly different approach. At SYM, we believe management is about people and their performance. Consequently, trust is our most valued asset. Think about it, trust means two things. It means your belief in someone's ability is unswerving and that you know he or she will deliver, time and time again.

At SYM, trust characterises our relationships. It exists within our team and defines our client relationships. But clearly trust must be earned through the delivery of excellence. So, at the outset of a relationship we simply urge you to do two things: consider our credentials and then call us to talk.

1 person dead, buildings damaged after tornado rips through northeastern Kansas

WESTMORELAND, Kan. — One person died Tuesday when a tornado ripped through the small city of Westmoreland in northeastern Kansas, authorities said.

Pottawatomie County officials said on Facebook that a tornado struck the city Tuesday evening, damaging multiple structures. First responders were conducting grid searches in Westmoreland to survey damage and to search for people who may have been injured.

A Pottawatomie County spokesperson confirmed the single fatality in a news release sent to media. The name of the person who died was being withheld pending family notification.

Westmoreland is about 45 miles (72.42 kilometers) northwest of Topeka.

Images posted to social media showed a tornado on the ground in Westmoreland, as well as damaged homes, uprooted trees and a flipped semi.

Tuesday’s storms came just two days after tornadoes tore through Oklahoma on Sunday, killing four people and injuring at least 100. On Friday, tornadoes twisted through Nebraska and Iowa , demolishing homes and businesses and leaving one person dead.

What a year

What a year 2023 turned out to be for the team here at MGMT .

As we predicted at the end of last year, the UK, as a Superyacht destination was at the beginning of a boom period.

How right we were!

The year started out very well with visits from some of the largest Superyachts the UK has seen. We were there on the dock waiting to greet them as they arrived. As always, we ensure there is always someone present for arrival of our clients no matter where in the UK they arrive into. Whether it is Falmouth or Aberdeen, one of our team will be there on the dock to welcome you.

Why the boom?

We look into the increased number of visits in detail and have attributed the increase in visits to a number of factors;

• Changing trends in the Superyacht industry . Yacht owners and their Captains are always on the look out for somewhere different. We have talked about this in the past and, although the UK is not a new destination it takes time for the industry to feel comfortable with somewhere relatively new. The UK wasn’t really on anyone’s radar before the 2012 olympics but since then traffic has steadily increased.
• BREXIT . As we mentioned in a recent article here , Brexit means that the UK can now be used for EU VAT clearance. This makes the UK as a quick stop very attractive to most yachts.
• There is a lot more to the UK and causing the waters than they realise. The UK is diverse and has something for everyone.
• We, as agents ensure literally everything is taken care of to a standard few captains expect. Once they talk to us, learn about our background, and see sample itineraries plus some of the yachts we have worked for we start to build trust and confidence.

This is just the beginning

MGMT has been around for 14 years now. We have, and always will work hard for every single client we take care of. But, this is just the beginning of a boom for the UK. We expect to see Superyacht visits to the UK increase massively over the coming few years. As the only dedicated Superyacht agent in the UK, we cover the entire country and provide every service we offer in whatever location you would like to visit.

Come and see us

We are taking bookings and creating bespoke itineraries for 2024 right now. So, get in touch to see what we can do for you next year.

Detroit Pistons 2024 offseason cheat sheet: Free agency & another summer of big decisions

The Detroit Pistons enter yet another critical offseason with questions both at nearly every position on the court and at top management positions off the court.

They have been the NBA's worst team each of the past two seasons, culminating in a franchise-worst 14-68 performance in 2023-24 despite being in Year 4 of the front office regime.

That regime is getting a shake-up, with a search underway to fill the vacant president of basketball operations position . That hire is the most important decision owner Tom Gores can make , and one he must nail despite a track record of, well, no success, with zero playoff wins and one winning season since he took control of the team in 2011.

Whoever is named the Pistons' new basketball leader will have a plethora of major decisions to make, from building out a new front office to what to do with coach Monty Williams and a young roster stacked with former lottery picks who have yet to mesh, a top-five draft pick and as much cap space as any other team in the league.

Here's the Pistons' annual offseason FAQ:

Pistons have major leadership questions

The Pistons announced April 15, one day after the season, they would begin a quest to find a president basketball of operations leader over top of general manager Troy Weaver. That position has not been filled since Gores parted with Stan Van Gundy in 2018.

A search firm is helping the Pistons gather qualified candidates, and from there Gores, his ownership group and Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem will have to decipher and hire the person they believe can turn this bungling franchise around now .

Jon Horst, the Milwaukee Bucks' general manager who began his career with the Pistons in 2005 as an unpaid intern , looks to be one of the top potential options . He was the 2018-19 NBA executive of the year , helped the Bucks to the 2021 title and is from Sandusky and played basketball at Rochester Christian (2003-06).

GET TO KNOW: 5 candidates Detroit Pistons could consider for president of basketball operations

2024 NBA draft

Dates to know:  NBA draft lottery  May 12 in Chicago; NBA draft  June 26-27  in Brooklyn, New York.

Pistons 2024 draft picks:  First round: Guaranteed to be top five. Second round: No. 53 overall (via New York).

Lottery odds:  Own No. 1 slot entering lottery, tied for the best odds at the top pick; 40.1% chance at a top-three pick . The Pistons' odds to finish at each pick.

[ MUST LISTEN: Our guys discussed their draft boards and how prospects would fit the Pistons. Make "The Pistons Pulse" your go-to Detroit Pistons podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts ( Apple , Spotify ) or watch live/on demand on YouTube . ]

Pistons future draft picks

The Pistons continue to operate at a significant disadvantage when it comes to future draft capital. They are still tied up in owing a first-round pick protected through 2027, from the 2020 draft-day trade with the Houston Rockets for Isaiah Stewart. The pick is now controlled by the New York Knicks. Until that selection is conveyed, the Pistons are barred from trading a future first-round pick through 2028 due to the Stepien rule . They can agree to a trade before or during June's draft involving their 2024 top-five pick, but cannot execute the deal until afterwards, and they can also deal one of their 2029 first OR 2030 first.

Outgoing:  

• 2025 first-round pick to New York (protected Nos. 1-13 in 2025, 1-11 in 2026 and 1-9 in 2027; if pick has still not conveyed, Pistons will send 2027 second-round pick).

• 2025 second-rounder to New York.

• 2026 second-rounder to Orlando or Brooklyn.

• 2028 second-rounder to Philadelphia (protected for selections 31-55).

• 2027 second-rounder from Brooklyn or Dallas (more favorable).

• 2028 second-rounder from New York.

• 2029 second-rounder from Milwaukee.

• 2029 second-rounder from New York.

• 2030 second-rounder from Minnesota.

Pistons needs and fits in 2024 NBA free agency

Much of the strategy employed by the Pistons this summer will be led by their unknown new basketball leader, but they finally began to go down the right track at the trade deadline by acquiring competent two-way wings in Fontecchio and Quentin Grimes . Fontecchio is a restricted free agent and said a day after the season ended he hoped to be back; the Pistons should see him as a priority after giving up the first pick in the 2024 second round to get him. They should hunt for a center who can defend the rim, an efficient scorer and playable wings who can space the floor, make the right reads and compete on defense.

The bigger question: How they see their much self-ballyhooed "young core" outside of Cade Cunningham, who is eligible for a contract extension. Will Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren be on this roster come training camp? What is Ausar Thompson's status after missing the end of the season due to a blood clot ? The Pistons must prioritize building around and developing Cunningham , while also remaining vigilant in their search to develop a running mate. They should be wary, however, of going full "quick fix" just to once again get stuck as a borderline playoff team for years.

The trade market will be spicy this summer, and how the Pistons use their top pick will influence free agency, but here is a look at some free agents the Pistons might target.

*Age as of Dec. 31, 2024; money is average annual value from previous contract

Tobias Harris, power forward, 76ers

Profile: 6 feet 8, 226 pounds, 32 years old, $36 million, role: scorer.

Buzz: Harris is the most likely "name" player to switch teams in the offseason. He averaged 17.2 points on 35.3% shooting from 3-point range with 6.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 70 games in the regular season, but is playing his worst ball during his 5½ seasons in Philadelphia since mid-February. Has scored 35 points in 140 minutes through four games of the playoff series (8.8 ppg) vs. the Knicks, where his frustrating weaknesses remain on display. Former Piston is a mature veteran and could help a rebuilding team, where his 3-point reluctance, record-scratch decision making, and team defense lapses won't carry as much baggage, especially when not being paid among the league's top 20 highest earning players . Career 36.8% 3-point shooter though more comfortable taking midrange jump shots. Switchable defender who is adequate on-ball. Reports around the trade deadline pegged Harris as a top target for the Pistons , but that could change with a new exec running basketball operations. Lavishing him with a long-term, big-money deal would be a haunting mistake (ask the 76ers), but a shorter deal at around $25 million per year would at least be more palatable (yet still an overpay).

De'Anthony Melton, wing, 76ers

Profile: 6-3, 200, 26, $8.7 million, 3-and-D.

Buzz: Melton averaged 11.1 points on 36% 3-point shooting with 3.7 rebounds, three assists and 1.6 steals in 38 games this season, but missed most of the second half of the season with a back injury. Extremely valuable and true 3-and-D role player due to his complementary skills on both ends, and willingness to fire from 3 on offense (36.9% accuracy for his career). Can guard 1-3 comfortably with his 6-8 wingspan, and even some 4s, and is among the leaders in deflections per game . Should be in demand from all good teams as a seamless fit, and cost shouldn't be prohibitive due to lack of creation off the bounce.

Isaiah Hartenstein, center, Knicks

Profile: 7-0, 250, 26, $8 million, rim protector.

Buzz: Hartenstein averaged 7.8 points, 8.3 rebounds , 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks while starting 49 of 75 games played this season for the Knicks, who are now a heavy favorite to reach the conference finals. Can move his feet a bit in space, as shown by his game-saving block last week on Maxey in Game 2, but moreso is a big body who can battle in the paint, protect the rim, is a rugged rebounder and a play-finisher offensively with a featherly floater. Would have to outbid the Knicks and convince him he would play just as much in Detroit, which would be a hard sell assuming Duren is still on the roster, but won't be as expensive as Nets free agent Nic Claxton.

More names to watch:  Monk (26, wing), Williams (23, wing), Kelly Oubre Jr. (29, wing), Miles Bridges (26, wing), Caldwell-Pope (31, wing), Buddy Hield (32, wing), Caleb Martin (29, wing), Claxton (25, center), Thompson (34, wing).
