NAVIS Oct / Nov 2014

Rossinavi brought together a terrific team of designers and engineers to produce the Polaris motor yacht. Contributing team mates came from Arrabito Naval Architects, Team for Design by Enrico Gobbi, and, of course, Rossi Navi. Their combined efforts have resulted in a beautiful yacht that honors the tradition of world exploration while keeping her gaze steadily on the future.

Perini Navi has made some of the world's most fabulous yachts since opening in 1983. The Italian shipyard had to tackle new issues when building Grace E to match the owner's specifications. Grace E is the latest motor yacht in the Picchiotti motor yacht line. She is significantly larger than her two sisters: Exuma, which is 50 meters long, and Galileo G, which is 55 meters long. Grace E measures 73 meters long.

Picchiotti and Perini Navi also wanted to push Grace E to new heights of luxury while making her as eco-friendly as possible. The companies pulled their resources and experiences to build one of the most excellent motor yachts traveling the world.

When experienced yachtsmen commission new vessels, they often want to combine traditional and contemporary features in unique ways. As the design process continues, though, many of them emphasis contemporary aesthetics that can make the yacht look relatively tame by the time it reaches production.

Kamaxitha is not that type of sailing yacht. When designing her, each team took its mission seriously. This has resulted in one of the most attractive and technological sailing yachts exploring the world today.

This year's edition of the Monaco Yacht Show never stopped surprising us. As the largest event yet, the quantity and quality of the displayed yachts and new projects were outstanding.

Baccarat, the famous crystal company located in northeastern France, celebrates its 250th anniversary this year with special events and new designs that will appeal to those who have refined tastes.

Baccarat was founded in 1764 when King Louis XV gave the Bishop of Metz to start a glassworks operation in Baccarat, a commune in France's Lorraine region. The organization immediately began work that trumped creations from other crystalwork experts. Today, some of the most famous pieces of glass and crystal artwork are kept in Musée du Cristal, the region's largest private museum.
