Botin 56 Black Pearl: Custom offshore 56-footer

• Toby Hodges
• February 10, 2021

The latest Black Pearl will be a new custom Botin 56, a 56-footer that should push the boundaries of offshore performance to the limits

Stefan Jentzsch enjoyed a stunning run of racing successes with his 2014 Carkeek 47 Black Pearl , including the 1st sub-50ft yacht in the 2017 Caribbean 600 , a class win in the challenging 2019 Rolex Middle Sea Race and an impressive overall victory in the 2017 Cape to Rio. Now, he’s shortly to take delivery of a new Botin 56. 

For his latest build Jentzsch turned to Botin Partners for a custom 56-footer that would push the boundaries of offshore performance to the limits. The outcome is the result of a close collaboration between Jentzsch, his long-standing race team, Botin, Doyle Sails, Valencia-based King Marine and Carbo-Link.

The Botin 56  is a one-off, which has been optimised as a pure offshore racer, with a small coachroof for protection and an otherwise flush deck. The deck-stepped mast is one of a number of measures that ensure as much water as possible stays outside of the boat.

Doyle’s Structured Luff sails were integrated as part of the project from the outset. Given the extent to which these reduce compression loads in the rig, making this decision at an early stage had an impact on structural engineering calculations. The smaller halyard loads also facilitate easier sail handling and manoeuvres.

The new Black Pearl will clearly be a boat to look out for. Her programme for this winter includes the RORC Transatlantic and Caribbean 600 races in January and February, after which she will return to Europe for the 2021 season.

If she manages to find the same success as her predecessor the Carkeek 47, and the signs are positive that she might, she should prove a mighty force on the offshore circuit.

Bluewater 56

Proven Frers design, built by the same yard that builds Outbound Yachts

The Bluewater 56 may look familiar to you, as it is the same proven Frers design that was originally developed for Hylas, of which 27 boats were built. Bluewater Yachts acquired the tooling and are now building them at the same yard that builds Outbound Yachts. In fact, hull #1 debuted as an Outbound 56 in the 2019 Annapolis Sailboat Show, and in December of 2020 hull #2 was commissioned which is now called the Bluewater 56.

The Bluewater 56 features a proper offshore bow entry and hull shape which deliver swiftness, power and stability, while maximizing space down below. There is more than ample room for a luxurious owner’s suite aft, beautifully finished in hand-chosen woods. Offshore comfort is further enhanced by the way the hulls are built, the Twaron aramid fiber yields “bullet-proof” strength for added safety.

Experienced sailors will appreciate this well behaved and easily driven yacht, not just for her speed but for the safety that comes with performance and control. This also reduces fatigue on offshore passages and ensure a well rested crew. Anyone who steps aboard the Bluewater 56 will also appreciate the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into building the boat, combined with the well thought out and spacious design ensures that time aboard is time well spent.

Outbound 56, BAREFOOT

Han Sheng Yachts, Outbound 56 Built 2019; commissioned 2020 / €1,200,000, + VAT

Broker’s Comments

Outbound 56 BAREFOOT – otherwise known as a highly customised Hylas 56, is a powerful and capable German Frers design built by Han Sheng Yachts, with sparkling sailing and a superb layout for long distance cruising. Of recent build, she was completed in the last quarter of 2019 and commissioned in 2020.

After taking delivery of the yacht, this owner decided to make many upgrades and improvements and so a work list was drawn up and this work was carried out in 2021 – 22 by Nautor’s Swan Global Service in Badalona on the mainland of Spain. They were selected because of their capability working on high quality yachts like Nautor’s Swan.

There is a full refit report available on request.

Outbound 56 BAREFOOT is virtually a new yacht with the advantage that she has had many new boat niggles sorted post-delivery. Her owner cruised her 3 months in the Bahamas during the early days of Covid, and then a just few weeks in the Mediterranean during the summers 2020-2022 and spring of 2023. Her engine and gen set hours are very low. She has been professionally managed and is on a strict preventative maintenance schedule. BAREFOOT is now ready to cruise, extensively, with a very high level of specification. She is also a fast sailing yacht and fantastic looking.

Owner’s Comments

We are a family of four with two very young children. We were looking for the highest quality centre-cockpit bluewater sailing yacht we could find in the 55–60-foot size range. Our criteria were uncompromising quality of construction and safety at sea; sea kindliness for comfort offshore; followed by a ‘superyacht’ calibre interior.

Our Outbound 56 is really an upgraded, customized Hylas 56. The Hylas 56 mould was sold back to the original builder-owner (Jachney family) and moved to Han Shang in a partnership with Outbound Yachts, who have been building at Han Sheng for decades.

After searching extensively for a recent second-hand yacht, we concluded that we would need to build to achieve the quality we desired. Outbound, almost uniquely amongst the few remaining blue water yacht builders, allowed us to extensively customize the yacht to our liking. Secondly, we found that the Hylas 56 simply sailed circles around her principal competitors, while having the most sea kindly motion in her class. Our conclusion, after years of searching and sailing on every competitor yacht, was that the product is superior, despite not being well known in Europe.

Building the yacht with Outbound at Han Sheng surpassed our expectations. The yard has huge experience in building high quality blue water yachts (Passport, Outbound). Over the last 30-years, Han Sheng developed traditional boat building crafts that are being lost in the West. Highlights include the bulletproof (literally), hand-laid fiberglass & Kevlar hull, exquisite joinery work, and excellent electrical and mechanical installations. The yard is also extremely flexible and accommodating. We were able to modify the interior spaces extensively to maximise space and comfort with the heads being a prime example. The materials available were also first rate. My wife specified custom mosaic tile flooring in the heads, and it was carried out to perfection. Nigel Leamon, who spent 25-years at Oyster, was our project manager and closely oversaw the build, traveling nearly monthly to the yard.

Hylas 56 BAREFOOT was built for a world cruise, and spec’d accordingly. The yacht was designed to be off grid for more than a month at a time in remote places. Redundancy, simplicity, and ease of maintenance were important as we anticipated repairs in remote parts of the world. Most components were over-spec’d. For example, the windlass is a Maxwell 3500. We spec’d maximum tankage with nearly 1,250 litres of fuel and 900 litres of water. Onboard power was also a focus, and we wanted to be able to go long periods without running the generator. We spec’d a large, deep discharge carbon-foam AGM battery bank, extensive solar capacity, over-spec’d inverter/chargers, and installed a commercial shipping generator. We can cook on electricity or gas. We spec’d the same DC watermaker (Spectra Cape Horn 330) that long-distance solo sailors use. The deck is Flexi-Teek for ease of maintenance and environmental friendliness. We also incorporated other unique details like glassed in chain plates aft designed to hold a Jordan-series drogue. You can pick the yacht up with just one of them.

The sail plan is a classic cutter for maximum flexibility. We also had a custom carbon bowsprit built with a Bamar electric furler that controls a North Sails top-down furling MPS / Code Sail. Everything is controlled from the re-designed, custom helm station.

We have loved everything about BAREFOOT. Sailing her single-handed is a breeze, and she sails beautifully. She is always comfortable; she never slams in a seaway. She is the star of every anchorage. Life aboard is luxurious and unfailingly a pleasure.

In the years before COVID-19, I anticipated either winding down my businesses or being able to reduce my work hours materially so that we could take 2-3 years as a family to cruise the world. During and post-COVID-19 my businesses expanded considerably, and I found myself unable to take time off as I had envisioned. We made the decision to upgrade to a larger crewed sailing yacht so that I can still manage my businesses but spend the rest of the time with the family rather than navigating, engineering, cleaning, and cooking. The alternative would be to wait another 5-years, but then we might miss the window with our children. We elected to continue with our extensive sailing plans, but in a different format with help.

Building BAREFOOT was a labour of love for us and we would like to request a right of first refusal if/when the new owner sells her.

Taking a Bow: How Yacht Makers Are Rethinking the Rear End

The 56-foot catamaran , known simply as the CAT56, pairs the comfort and space of a multihull with the sleek and sporty stylings of a superyacht. The exterior exudes a modern elegance for which the two houses are renowned, with clean lines and long windows running from bow to stern. The 23-foot width creates a relatively roomy interior yet ensures the cat is still narrow enough that it can dock comfortably in marinas.

The light and airy living quarters are centered around a salon with an open-plan kitchen and lounge that opens onto an expansive cockpit. The refined finishes throughout are of “superior quality compared to boats in the same segment,” according to the design team. As for accommodation, the yacht features a full-beam owner’s suite with a walk-in closet and a desk, along with two en suite guest cabins, and a crew cabin.

The exterior decks are not short on style, either. The cockpit is furnished with elegant pieces and offers direct access to the sea, while the flybridge is home to a wet bar, sunbathing area, and helm station. The CAT56 is the first Austin Parker design conceived under Nalcaci and marks an important milestone for the yard.

“Nalcaci will not only make new financial resources available but, thanks to his solid industrial experience, will guarantee the production of the new catamaran and the boats currently in the range with state-of-the-art technologies,” Fulvio De Simoni, CEO of De Simoni Yacht Design, said in a statement.

The CAT56 will enter production in September. It is the first model in a series that Pininfarina and Fulvio De Simoni will develop for Austin Parker over the coming years. Stay tuned.

NORDHAVN 56MS

Nordhavn 56ms.

For the past 15 years, Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. (PAE) has devoted its efforts toward the development of the Nordhavn line of offshore passagemaking trawlers. Endeavors such as the Around-The-World voyage in a Nordhavn 40 and the Nordhavn Atlantic Rally, combined with innovative design ideas have set PAE atop this growing industry. However the roots of the successful bluewater poweryacht franchise actually lie under an impressive sailing legacy that saw the construction of over 250 cruising sailboats. PAE’s Mason line was first introduced in 1979 and models ranged from 34 to 64 feet.

PAE’s interest in sail has been rekindled with their innovative design: a motorsailer that will have true Nordhavn capabilities with transoceanic range under power alone and modest sailing performance in offshore conditions.

Originally designed at 50 feet, market feedback and continued development propelled it into a rugged 56-footer that displaces 95,000 lbs. and carries 800 gallons of fuel. Powered by the proven Lugger 1066 T diesel engine, a top cruising speed of 9 knots will be possible. The rugged Lugger drives a 36-inch four-bladed controllable pitch Hundested propeller and offers unparalleled flexibility of operation. When conditions dictate, the propeller can be fully feathered to enhance sailing performance. Alternatively, the engine can be run at a very low rpm and high propeller pitch combined with the drive and stabilizing force of the sails, which together will provide an astounding level of comfort, economy and capability.

This motorsailer provides a trawler-style aft deck with a sailing cockpit and steering station forward of the saloon/wheelhouse. Access to the forward sailing cockpit is via wide side decks on the port and starboard side of the saloon/wheelhouse. Powered main and headsail furlers along with power winches will make sail handling a manageable affair for short-handed crews. A 10-foot RIB can be accommodated athwartships atop the saloon/wheelhouse roof and a power winch is standard for launching.

Surrounded by rugged half-inch tempered glass windows, the saloon/wheelhouse offers unrestricted 360-degree views providing an ideal steering navigation station for the captain. The cushy wraparound settee to starboard provides a comfortable dining area and two reclining chairs to port are perfect for guests to lounge and take in the scenery.

Going below via a gentle stairway, a large, well-ventilated and lighted galley offers abundant countertop space and cabinet storage as well as refrigerator and freezer space. Luxurious master and guest staterooms are separated by the galley and the full stand-up engine room. Additionally, space is provided for a washer/dryer and tool and spare parts storage.

The motorsailer features the world class fit and finish Nordhavns are known for and includes superb electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems that are a result of PAE’s vast offshore experience.

Typical of the Nordhavn line, the motorsailer includes the finest equipment and interior styling.

HYLAS 56 YACHTS FOR SALE

The Hylas 56 was designed and built to replace one of the best cruising yachts ever built, the Hylas 54. Replacing a well respected model is always an incredible challenge for builders and designers. To build a boat that would be a little better in many ways but not sacrifice any of the exemplar characteristics that made the Hylas 54 so well loved was nearly an impossible task. However, the combined efforts of Hylas, the Frers design team, as well as Hylas yacht owners managed to create just such a boat.

2015 Hylas 56

Built for experienced sailors who expect quality craftsmanship and excellent performance, Odette will always exceed exceptions.

Epic Journey is a joy to behold and even more inviting to sail. What make this Hylas 56 even more appealing is the high level of care lavished upon her by her first two owners.

Aquaticus is undoubtedly the most highly specified Hylas 56 created. A fast boat that is beautiful to look at and functional in every way possible. One of a kind and a true sailing yacht, Aquaticus stands out amongst other boats in her class.

DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE

When considering a brokerage to sell your Hylas, the top choice is clear. The Hylas Collection by  Collection Yachts  gives owners not only expertise regarding the market and unmatched knowledge of Hylas Yachts, but also the most extensive yacht marketing available.

Specification

What we say, broker's comments, price just reduced.

Quintessentially Oyster, and one of our most successful models built, the 56 is a fantastic ocean cruiser, compact and agile to be easily handled by two, whilst also being versatile enough to accommodate a host of guests, and even crew, in comfort with ease.

Piperita, built in 2000, is a family-owned yacht that has been handed down through the generations from father to son. Lightly used, never chartered, and never having crossed the Atlantic, Piperita has very low hours to the engine and generator. With a specification perfectly equipped for short-handed sailing and effortless onboard handling, Piperita is easy in and out of port. Featuring an electric passerelle, remote windlass control, davits, outboard crane, bow thruster, new domestic batteries, and a great solar setup to name a few, she has a number of unique features that make her an attractive bluewater cruiser.

Below deck, typical of all Oyster’s, Piperita has an abundance of space, both functional and practical to fulfil a multitude of uses. With seven berths in four cabins, the forth converting conveniently to a workshop, Piperita is classically presented in teak, with warming light blue upholstery throughout. A home from home experience with the benefits of being able to change the scenery, Piperita is a great yacht for all uses.

Recently benefitting from out of the water works including underwater hull blasting and re-antifouling, all seacocks and anodes replaced, plus works to the engine, she is in the process of being upgraded.

Lying in Trapani, Sicily, and just a short sail from the stunning Egadi and Aeolian Islands, Piperita is in a fantastic location. Early viewing recommended.

See Mark Zuckerberg’s glossy new $300M, 287-foot superyacht ‘Launchpad’

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The little (electric) engine that could: The Port of San Diego unveils the nation’s first all-electric tug boat

The 82-foot eWolf expects to eliminate 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

The nation’s first all-electric tug boat has docked at the Port of San Diego and expects to begin emissions-free operations in about a month.

Operated by Crowley Maritime Corporation , the 82-foot eWolf will escort ships entering and leaving the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal using electric power instead of diesel fuel, helping slash greenhouse gas emissions at the port and its neighbors in Barrio Logan and National City.

For the record:

1:58 p.m. March 13, 2024 This story has been updated to show the correct amount of government funding that went to the project.

“This is a big deal,” said port chairman Frank Urtasun at a news conference Monday. “This is new technology.”

Capable of speeds of up to 12 knots, the eWolf is powered by a 6.2 megawatt-hour main propulsion battery and two electric drives. The tug has thrust — also known as bollard pull in the parlance of the shipping industry — of 76.8 short tons, which is more powerful than the diesel-powered counterparts at the port.

Constructed in Alabama, the eWolf is equipped with two small generators for emergency use that allow the boat to travel longer distances at a reduced speed.

“Like an electric car, you step on the gas and it jumps,” said Paul Manzi, vice president of Crowley Shipping, based in Jacksonville, Fla. “All of the attributes that you have with an electric motor operation in a car or in an electric truck, you see here in the (eWolf) at massive scale. And it’s extremely quiet so when it pulls away from the dock you literally won’t hear any noise.”

The tug boat’s electricity will come from a charging station that is part of a microgrid facility equipped with two energy storage containers. Battery modules in each container have storage capacity of nearly 1.5 megawatt-hours.

Interconnected with the help of San Diego Gas & Electric, the charging station at the port is designed to allow the vessel to recharge quickly and reduce peak loads on the electric grid.

Operators plan to charge the eWolf overnight so it can perform its chores during daytime hours.

“This technology has individually been around for a while, but it hasn’t necessarily been integrated and optimized to all work together — and that’s kind of our role,” said Bruce Strupp, vice president at ABB Marine & Ports , the company that designed the boat’s propulsion system. “Some of the technology is our technology, some of it’s third-party technology, but we integrate it all together.”

The electric tug boat is expected to begin commercial operations at the port in mid- to late-April, depending on the completion of the charging station.

Officials at Crowley did not release the eWolf’s price tag Monday, saying only that it cost about twice as much as a conventional diesel-powered tug boat of comparable size.

But, Manzi said, the company expects the eWolf’s maintenance and operating costs will be “dramatically lower” than what’s spent on a diesel-powered tug boat because the electric model has fewer moving parts.

The entire project — the vessel as well as the charging station — received four grants that added up to $13.67 million, with two grants of $10.9 million from the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, one grant of just over $2 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and $750,000 from the federal government’s Maritime Administration.

In 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that directed state agencies to transition off-road vehicles — including tug boats — and equipment to 100 percent zero emissions by 2035.

By replacing one of the port’s diesel-powered tugs, the eWolf is expected to eliminate the consumption of about 35,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year. In its first 10 years of use, the electric tug boat is expected to reduce about 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the port and its surrounding areas such as Barrio Logan and National City.

“We’re trying to be good neighbors and trying to be able to help to reduce emissions here to help the electrification movement,” Urtasun said, adding that the port has spent about $130 million on various electrification projects.

Last year, the Port of San Diego became the first in North America to install a pair of all-electric cranes to load and off-load heavy cargo. Each 262 feet high, the cranes replaced an older crane that ran on diesel fuel. Together, the cranes expect to help the port reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 47 metric tons per year.

Fatal boat crash launched woman into trees and threw man into water, Florida cops say

A body pulled from trees was among two discovered after a 21-foot boat crashed near southwest Florida’s Little Hickory Bay, according to investigators.

It happened around 3 p.m. Friday, March 15, not far from North Naples, about a 160-mile drive south from Tampa, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a news release.

“The vessel, carrying two occupants, was traveling north, passing red channel marker 14, when it’s starboard side ran into the mangrove trees, ejecting both passengers,” FWC officials said.

“The unmanned vessel remained in gear until it crashed into the mangrove shoreline, coming to a stop.”

Judy Eaton, 71, of Bonita Springs “was recovered from the mangrove trees where she was pronounced deceased,” officials said.

John Moulder, 71, of Naples, was airlifted by EMS to Gulf Coast Medical Center in Ft. Myers, “where he later died from his injuries,” officials said.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but alcohol may have been a factor, investigators said in the report.

Boaters who use the area regularly told WBBH the couple died at a turn known to be dangerous, but signs marking the hazard vanished during Hurricane Ian , which struck southwest Florida in September 2022.

“Sadly, I was not surprised,” boater Kevin Price told the station. “I had a conversation with another friend recently about this turn specifically, and some of the close calls I’ve seen at this spot.”

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly rewarded himself with a luxurious gift: a $300 million super yacht.

The billionaire Meta Platforms CEO reportedly purchased the 287-foot vessel with the name Launchpad, according to The Sun and New York Post. 

FOX Business reached out to Meta Platforms and a Zuckerberg personal spokesperson for comment on the vessel.

The vessel reached America a few days ago, cruising into Fort Lauderdale’s port in the Sunshine State, according to Business Insider. Prior to that, it had recently completed its first-ever official sailing.

Only 70 motor yachts measuring over 100 meters currently exist, according to BOAT International. Some are believed to belong to other members of the three-comma club.

Zuckerberg has amassed a personal fortune that, according to Forbes, sat around $178 billion as of Thursday evening.

He has Meta Platforms, the corporate parent of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Threads, to thank for that. He co-founded Facebook about 20 years ago.

"20 years ago I launched a thing," he wrote on the platform in early February. "Along the way, lots of amazing people joined and we built some more awesome things. We’re still at it and the best is yet to come."

He has identified artificial intelligence and the metaverse as long-term focuses of Meta Platforms.

Haitian migrant boat with guns, drugs intercepted in Florida: What we know

Over two dozen people this past month were discovered by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers being smuggled into Florida, according to FWC reports. Included in the group were unaccompanied children and armed smugglers attempting to make their way into Sebastian Inlet on Feb. 29, FWC said in a statement released Friday. Law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate the case in which guns and drugs were also seized from a 42-foot vessel in in Brevard County near the Indian River County line. Gov. Ron DeSantis used it as a prime example for tougher laws.

What did FWC officers discover on migrant boat?

FWC reports said the boat's operator was armed. There were 25 people, including five unaccompanied children, on board the boat entering the country. Officers also found firearms, night vision gear and drugs, the report said. The exact details of the interdiction were not released.

Who is investigating the smuggling operation?

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are carrying out an investigation into the boat. It was not reported if charges had been filed in the case as of Monday morning.

What did Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis say about armed migrant boat?

DeSantis pointed to the incident as an example for the need to deter illegal immigration in a press conference this past weekend. Two separate laws signed by the governor would crack down on penalties for undocumented immigrants driving without a license and those who are re-entering the country after previously being deported.

“In their boat, in their vessel, they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks,” DeSantis  told reporters on Friday.

DeSantis said int he press conference that the migrants were deported by the U.S. Coast Guard.

This incident comes two months after DeSantis announced that he is sending approximately 1,000 Florida National Guard troops to Texas to assist in security along the Mexican border.

Last week, DeSantis also announced that he was shoring up immigration security in the Florida Keys, where he deployed "250 additional officers and soldiers and over a dozen air and sea craft to the southern coast of Florida to protect our state."
