The Dutch yard Jongert is back with the sale of a new 47 metre called Revolution to an experienced client, brokered by Golan Levi of Swell Yachting.
The project is based on the Flow concept of Vripack.
“At 47 metre just under 500GT, she boasts no less than seven staterooms and six crew cabins, a six-metre swimming pool, eight-metre Limo tender and 28sqm gym. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg”, says Vripack Creative Director Marnix J. Hoekstra. “Also her technical backbone is the crème de la crème, giving her outstanding expedition capability in terms of safety, reliability, comfort and longevity. More than one part hasn’t even been invented yet.”
Vripack is known for its novel and user-friendly layouts and this yacht is no exception. The lower deck guest staterooms are directly connected to the crew cabins allowing quick and undisturbed service access. A central staircase is available for the crew as well as for the guest. Right at the back is the giant jet stream pool with separate jacuzzi. The top deck boosts a full blown gym and sports-bar.
“As the Owner is an experienced Captain who enjoys sailing his yacht more than anything, we placed his quarters on the bridge deck with a running machine at the steering wheel and his bath in the Gull Wing giving rear and front unobstructed views,” says Marnix. “When you walk through the interior, everything is where you expect it to be, yet she has an unconventional layout. Her smooth interior layout is balanced with a masculine layering exterior design.
“When you take a piece of paper in your hand, fold and cut it and place pieces on top of each other you get the effect we created. The visual disconnection between the various surfaces reveals a continuous champagne golden lit infinite line making Revolution stand out from the crowd also at night time when you sail up with the limo from a romantic dinner on shore.
“About the interior décor, I can’t reveal anything other than that she is as much the yacht of the sportive adventurous Owner as well as his lovely wife and playful kids. They came to us for a globetrotter which can safely handle the Seven Seas and provides the comfort of a family home and got nothing less.”
The yard teamed together with the Vripack engineers created a diesel-electric drive train which is only available for bigger yards.
“The biggest benefit is for the Owners as the engine room is about 50% smaller than normal due to the space efficiency of electrical drives and electrical pods,” adds Marnix. “Those Veth pods by the way aren’t even existing yet. Veth is inventing them as we speak.”
Another innovation, which will be created, is the mooring system that will allow the yacht to be docked without any mooring line hooked or anchor dropped.
“With Revolution, we created a yacht that stops you from turning the page. She features the most sought-after form that follows function, embraces our holistic philosophy which lead to a masculine exterior and smooth interior with cutting edge naval architecture. Our creative signature to finely balance apparent contradictions like raw and smooth is really translated well by the team in this yacht,” concludes Marnix.
