There are some bold changes in this year\u2019s new superyachts. At the Cannes Yachting Festival, Berret Racoupeau\u2019s yacht design team will present their four most recent production designs: the Amel 50, the Wauquiez PS 42, the Saona and the Oc\u00e9anis 51, as well as other construction projects and one-off designs\u2026.
Olivier and Isabelle Racoupeau will also exhibit the design team\u2019s latest creations at the Monaco Yacht Show from September 27th to September 30th.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cannes Yachting Festival opens the autumn season of nautical shows. At this unmissable Mediterranean event, they unveil the latest innovations \u2026
Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design was once again entrusted with this year\u2019s new designs. It\u2019s a responsibility that Olivier Racoupeau\u2019s entire team has taken on with enormous pleasure, in order to respond in the best way possible to the specifications provided, working closely with the teams in the boatyards in an ongoing quest for excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amel 50: Change with Continuity
<\/strong>With its sloop rig- a first for the La Rochelle boatyard- the Amel 50 reflects the new spirit that Amel\u2019s leadership are looking for: a safe and easy sailing boat for a beautiful experience that is true to the fundamental principles of the brand: refinement and elegance. Change with continuity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivier Racoupeau: \u00ab The evolution of the on-board technical kit, such as motorised winches, makes manoeuvring a 50- foot sloop far easier and means there does not have to be a ketch rig on a boat of this size.<\/em>  \u00bb
<\/strong>The hull is also innovative. Its straight and powerful bow guarantees performance whilst offering generous space at the front. The stern is wide and flat with a mid-ship beam that extends all the way to the rear to ensure stability.
The twin rudder has been an outstanding innovation and allows a greater manoeuvrability. Lastly, the inverted deck edge, which is extended out to the bow nose, gives the superstructure a refined profile.
The Amel 50\u2019s interior design is faithful to the design team\u2019s philosophy. \u00ab The interior is understated and opulent, the quality is immediately obvious, especially in the use of various different woods, including rosewood, for an extremely chic design. The detail work on the lighting is very successful, the finish on the upholstery and the cladding on the leather doors bring a beautiful high-end distinction. Attention has been given to on-board ease of movement and ergonomics,<\/em> \u00ab explains Isabelle Racoupeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saona 47: Streamlined comfort, with no concessions
<\/strong>The Saona 47 has everything we expect from a Fountaine Pajot: fast and elegant lines and on-board comfort; offering all the pleasure one has come to expect from a modern cruise catamaran. \u00ab The Saona is fast and well-balanced, like all Fountaine Pajot catamarans. It is pleasant to helm and performs well. One of its major assets is its spaciousness, both inside and out,<\/em> \u00bb commented Olivier Racoupeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cockpit, which extends out to a rear platform, gives a real feeling of relaxation and play \u2026 it\u2019s an on-board beach! There is a large sunbathing area at the front, and the helm extends out to an exceptional 9m2 deck lounge.
The view inside the boat is uncluttered and clean. There is space and light everywhere, for a real easy living experience. The integrated ergonomic kitchen blends in with the welcoming harmony of the living area. The cabins are particularly carefully designed, to give them an unprecedented level of comfort.
Isabelle Racoupeau: \u00ab Every new boat we design for the Fountaine Pajot boatyard is an evolution. The Saona is full of character: powerful, racy, with clear attention to the art of living aboard, nothing is left to chance. It shows us a clear evolution for sailing and life aboard the Saona: it is as sporty as it is comfortable, and very pleasant to live on!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pilot Saloon 42: luxury, and smooth sailing
<\/strong>The PS 42 is completely faithful to the DNA of the Wauquiez boatyard, whilst also sporting a new, bold style, which shows Wauquiez\u2019 openness to change. The design is even neater than before.
\u00ab The lines are more aerodynamic and sporty, to provide beautifully smooth sailing, while maintaining safety and ease of manoeuvres, \u00bb<\/em> Olivier Racoupeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior design is contemporary chic, and even aims for more luxury, thanks to a combination of light and dark fine wood; combined with the warmth of leather, gloss lacquer and resins.
Airy and functional, the layout has been thoughtfully designed, right down to the smallest details. The linings of the interior trims in the cabins extend down to the floor. The wardrobes are suspended, as are the bedside tables and the fitted seating\u2026 The handrails are integrated into the backs of the benches and the ceilings, and there is fine leather workmanship in the wardrobes of the cabins.
The kitchen is particularly modern and refined, and very spacious. The resin worktop includes a hinged part that covers the gas-cooker when not in use, to create a beautifully clear work area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harmony of these details creates an even more refined atmosphere on an exclusive boat. The Pilot Saloon 42 from the Wauquiez boatyard has evolved into a luxurious universe. The first units will be launched in early 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oc\u00e9anis 51: Elegance, Space, Performance..
<\/strong>Elongated lines, clear decks, surfaces built for speed: the Oc\u00e9anis 51 is the first of the new generation of Oc\u00e9anis. Its tuliped hull gives it elegance and unparalleled inside space.
The Oc\u00e9anis 51 has been designed to offer the most innovative new design for cruising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything has been designed to facilitate navigation and manoeuvres (reefing mast, self- tacking jib, Dock & Go \u2026).
The uncluttered deck, the spacious cockpit, the relaxation areas and access to the aft bathing platform were all priorities for the architects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u00ab first line \u00bb version with an elongated carbon (or aluminum) mast, with a one- third increase in sail area, a 2.80m keel sail and the corresponding equipment, will give an incredible sailing and gliding experience with a marked increase in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design team will be present at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 12th to 17th and at the Monaco Yacht Show, in the heart of the Designer Gallery, from September 27th to September 30th.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
