Sarp Yachts

DESIGNER COMMENTS ON 40.40m SAILING YACHT
Structure will be optimized by Alex Shimell of Gurit in glass-carbon epoxy sandwich composite. Sarp lamination team will vacuum-bag and post-cure this light and stiff structure with their dedicated craftsmen and engineers. Stability is boosted by a hydraulically operated very high tensile steel fin keel carrying a huge lead-antimony T bulb. Draft can be reduced from 5.8 meters down to 3.5 meters. To enable this shallow draft, we have opted for twin carbon rudder blades operated from symmetric helm stations. Lucky owners and captains will be able to steer this agile creature only with the strength of their own muscles, no external power source required. Naturally hydraulic autopilot is always at hand.

A tall four spreader carbon mast with in-boom furling will produce the driving force. Code sail and staysail furlers are of flush type, as the vessel will sail with the blade most of the time. Sail control systems are thoroughly state-of-the-art with hydraulic furlers and hydraulic captive winches.

Everything is joy stick controlled from two helm stations. The control and command system is set up such that one can sail the yacht with a remote unit, even an I-pad.

Interior styled by Stephen Huish will house master suite and three guest cabins in the after part of the hull. A raised salon having all round view is above the engine room with an office and navigation station tucked in. Forward part of the hull descending from the salon houses another dayroom, galley, laundry and nice sized crew quarters. Every available volume is arranged for storage and access mainly to systems.

For example there is a large refrigerated store under the galley floor. Gross tonnage is intentionally kept below 200, to be less effected by LY3 restrictions. Deck architecture and styling is developed under offshore safety and comfort in mind. Even though she is designed to be sleek, we have solid 150 mm bulwarks. Nearly all equipment is kept under the deck thanks to a horde of flush hatches with concealed hinges and locks. Very low profile superstructure has artistic modern flowing lines hiding technical details such as air intakes.

Access to the sea, a tender or to quayside is through a rotating under deck boarding ladder and a pasarelle as well as a hinging carbon bathing platform aft.

As a summary this design will be competitive in superyacht regattas and will be great to sail away to long voyages, owner’s choice…

SARP 40.40m SAILING YACHT INTERIOR
 
Steve HuishIt has been an absolute pleasure to work with Sarp Yacht and Tanju, who have enormous experience and talent designing and constructing yachts. Turkey remains one of the great epicentres of yacht building. My intention for the yacht’s interior was to create a tranquil and relaxing environment and keep the design uncomplicated but high in attention to detail.

The master cabin and salon are designed around subtle use of suede’s, faux croc, faux eel skin, special paint finishes, textures and contrast finishes.

Special features include a curved sofa with coffee table for relaxing and reading.

There is also a feature desk design which doubles up as a dressing table, by pulling up a makeup mirror which is illuminated each side. The drawers each side of the bed have sockets inside for charging mobile phones. This allows less clutter and a cleaner look. There is a good size flat screen TV which could be angled across to allow viewing from the sofa. Art works are by renowned British artist Pat Ames.

Lighting can be controlled via Lutron to create different settings. The design can be tailored to suit any prospective client wishing to make it their own as all materials can be re-worked.

This is a wonderful yacht and is designed to maximise the interior space and allows for plenty of natural light
