Abu Dhabi Yacht Show opens in Yas Marina

  • PDF
(Wam) 25 March 2011
ABU DHABI — Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, opened on Thursday the highly anticipated third Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (ADYS).

ADYS is held under the patronage of General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and is sponsored by Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), with Yas Hotel as the official hospitality partner and Blancpain and HSBC Private Bank as the show’s Platinum sponsors.

The three-day event features an impressive flotilla of boats and yachts brought to the stunning Yas Marina setting by some leading players in the global yachting industry from the US, the UK, Monaco, France, Germany, Netherlands, Turkey, and the Baltic states among others, in addition to home-grown success stories.

yas-marina

The show, attended by a high-profile international visitor body of yachting enthusiasts and decision-makers, and a significant international press corps, is focussing attention on Abu Dhabi’s impressive marine leisure credentials. These include superb berthing and yacht-support facilities and a complete marine lifestyle offering in the making, at destinations such as Yas Island and the 45 other marinas of various sizes being developed as part of Abu Dhabi’s Strategic 2030 Plan. In addition, the show is shining a spotlight on the UAE’s growing yacht-building and export capabilities for larger sized yachts and the Middle East region’s ever-buoyant buyer market.

Shaikh Nahyan toured the moored vessels and visited several exhibitor booths in the tented exhibition area.

“The first two ADYS editions received a tremendously positive response from the global yachting community. The solid business opportunities it provided are reflected in the number of return exhibitors and several new companies that have chosen to join us this year, which is testimony to the commercial clout this region leverages on a global playing field,” said Andy Treadwell, Managing Director of Informa Yacht Group, organisers of ADYS.

“Back to the Future”: MCC introduces its new 46-meter Long Range Motor Yacht at the 2011 Palm Beach Boat Show

  • PDF

MCC moves forward toward the future, and at the same time, turns back in time.  At this week’s 2011 Palm Beach Boat Show, March 24-27th, MCC is introducing their new design for a 46-meter Long Range Motor Yacht—the Neo Classic Series. Stop by the Cheoy Lee Stand, ramp 6, slip 626-628.

012_46m_MY_profile_preliminary


In painting, sculpture, architecture literature, and music, Neo Classicism has been defined as a desire to return to the pure ideals of some other time in history, whether it is ancient Greece, the Renaissance, or the 20th century.  With its new 46-meter, MCC combines historic design with state-of- the-art modernity.
MCC naval architect Kasia Milewska says:  “I took my inspiration from the ships that were built early in the last century, no nonsense efficiency, the shape of the bow…” Like all Neo Classics, the best new design is not derivative, but deferential to the past with a vision toward the future.
The sleek new MCC 46-meter can be offered with either a twin engine/ twin prop configuration or  the most fuel efficient version with a single prop similar to the Marco Polo series. With a maximum speed of 16 knots, the yacht is designed for long-range speeds at 14 knots. The hull is decidedly rugged but at the same time it is a proper yacht, handsome and stately. One could argue if the plumb bow is modern or retro, but the overall exterior styling of the new 46 is definitely is lean and clean.
The main salon and bar are on the main deck with infinite flexibility in terms of dining/lounge area. The sky lounge is on the bridge deck along with the captain’s cabin and wheelhouse. Accommodations are for ten, with luxurious master and VIP suites on the main deck and three double guest staterooms on the lower deck along with crew area and galley. Jacuzzi, sun pads and bar can be found on the sundeck. There is tender stowage in a garage on the foredeck accessed by a port side shell door and a second tender can be stored in a lazarette with a shell door that can convert into a swim platform. The transom door is operated hydraulically. Expansive decks and overhangs from each deck level give a great deal of outside living space.
Back to the future— not a new major motion picture, but a new design worth seeing at MCC!
