After a truly nail-biting finish, Ganesha has emerged as the victor of the Superyacht Cup Palma .

Europe’s longest-running regatta wrapped up Saturday, July 2, with results that could not possibly have been closer, according to event organizers. At the end of the third and final race, two Vitters yachts finished level on points with identical score lines. The jury was then forced to look back over the previous races to crown a champion.

The elegant 150-foot sailing yacht Ganesha , which is named after the Hindu deity, was eventually named the overall winner on account of her earlier performances. The sleek, all-aluminum sloop is powered by a Caterpillar engine and can reach more than 14 knots at full tilt.

“It was a bit of a surprise win and we certainly weren’t expecting it, either the class or the overall,” Ganesha ‘s skipper Alex Pamment said in a statement . “It was very, very close.”

In both the Pantaenius and the New Zealand race, Ganesha came second in her class. In the St. Regis race, though, she finished nearly an hour ahead of her fellow Class B competitors. Pamment credits the weather and the skilled tacticians for her success.

The Dutch shipyard’s 143-footer Svea was awarded second overall and was also named winner of a hard-fought J Class contest. A testament to the very tight racing at the regatta, the Class A contest was also decided on countback. The 108-footer Pattoo , another Vitters build, took home first place thanks to her narrow victory in the St. Regis race.

“Superyacht Cup Palma has always offered friendly but competitive racing, and this year has delivered that in spades,” SYC event director Kate Branagh said at the prize-giving ceremony. “Having the overall winner in doubt until the last moment makes for incredibly exciting racing, and we hope that all the owners, captains and crews have had a great time whatever their finishing position.”

SYC organizers have already announced that next year’s event will be held from June 21 to 24. It’s going to be difficult to top this finish, though.

Sagitta (ex Ganesha)

Exceptional design and performance

Sagitta is a sloop rigged 46m performance cruiser designed by Dubois Naval Architects and interior architect Newcruise.

A specific technical feature is the cockpit with a fixed carbon bimini.

The vertically sliding curved glass windows can be moved up to enclose the cockpit area from the elements.

When sailing warmer seas, the deckhouse with the main companionway opened will be beautifully connected to the cockpit,

creating an unexpectedly spacious living area. Also the Vitters’ developed rudder feed-back system is a functional improvement.

It offers the feeling of the real helm, without the need for “sports club muscles”.

Ganesha // Vitters // Dubois

Vitters yachts launched the dubois designed 46-meter superyacht named ganesha ..

The fixed carbon-fiber bimini over the cockpit offers a shady place, but it is possible to enclose the area with sliding windows to enjoy the cockpit even in bad weather. Furthermore, Vitters developed a feedback rudder system.

The owners wanted a performance-oriented sailing yacht with the possibility to cruise around the world.

The tenders are stored hidden under the foredeck, moved by cranes – also hidden installed. Speaking of hidden equipment, GANESHA has a real flush deck. Even the clamps are not visible when the yacht is in sailing mode.

“Within seven minutes from family relaxing to sailing mode… because that is how long the dishwasher runs.”

New 46m sailing yacht GANESHA (hull 3067) by Vitters

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

Successfully handed over to her new Owner last year, the all-new 46-metre sailing yacht Ganesha (hull 3067) is an impressively elegant performance sloop, built by the prominent Dutch shipyard, Vitters . Beautifully penned by world-renowned Dubois Naval Architects , superyacht Ganesha is expected to compete in this year’s St Barths Bucket regatta, running next month.

With a relatively narrow beam, luxury yacht Ganesha features an impressive Panamax rig. She accelerates like a race yacht, yet no compromises have been made on comfort. The luxurious yet lightweight interior is designed by Newcruise .

One clearly recognises the Owners’ vision to ultimately combine competitive sailing (also in superyacht regatta’s) and comfortably cruising the world’s seas with family and friends. Their aim to change from family relaxing mode to sailing within seven minutes – the duration of the dishwasher program – is characteristic.

For Vitters team, Ganesha yacht has been a pleasure to work on. With her 46 m LOA, clear Dubois signature and performance focus, the project fitted Vitters like a glove. Specific details like the beautifully sleek lines, flush deck, powerful rig and weight saving focus challenged Vitters to the utmost to strive for perfection in the outfitting.

The flush deck now looks so beautifully clean and uncluttered, yet this is the result of investing countless hours of engineering and craftsmanship. Pop-up bollards, the staysail furler stored under-deck, the winch pit forward of the mast hiding the halyards and sheets, under-deck stay attachment cylinders, the perfectly round lines of the cockpit windows reaching deck level, custom-built carbon (light weight) anchor arms, and  the mainsheet arch integrated in the bimini, … all have been carefully engineered and built to give the ultimate clean appearance and add to the safety of crew and guests. The experienced Owners like to take the helm themselves, and their passion for competitive sailing is clearly recognisable throughout the Ganesha superyacht.

Another specific technical feature of SY Ganesha is the cockpit with a fixed carbon bimini. The vertically sliding curved glass windows can be moved up to enclose the cockpit area from the elements. When sailing warmer seas, the deckhouse with the main companionway opened will be beautifully connected to the cockpit, creating an unexpectedly spacious living area. Also the Vitters’ developed rudder feed-back system is a functional improvement. It offers the feeling of the real helm, without the need for “sports club muscles”.

Sailing Yacht Ganesha Is An Ocean Superlative

By Victor Baker

Updated on August 31, 2017

The stunning vessel you see before you is sailing yacht Ganesha designed by the acclaimed Dutch shipyard Vitters. Completed back in 2013, this sleek and slender yacht combines elegance with top performance and efficiency in a magical manner. Its minimalist exterior and simple interiors hint of a racing yacht, yet comfort and luxury are at home here.

Ganesha was imagined upon customer request, in an effort to blend in new levels of performance with incomparable comfort and reliability. The attention to details is astonishing, easily noticeable in every aspect of this vessel which raises the bar for sailing yachts. Vitters and Dubois Yachts were in charge of design and construction, while Newcruise imagined the interiors.

The owners of this beauty wanted their ultimate sailing yacht to be able to change from a relaxing family mode into sailing mode in just a matter of minutes, seven to be more exact. Efficiency and comfort are key for Ganesha , which can easily be proven by the highest power/weight ratio of any Dubois yacht to date. Pretty impressive!

The name “ Ganesha ” references the well known Hindu divinity with the friendly face of an elephant, symbolizing benevolence, grace, kindness and playfulness. There’s no doubt in my mind that the beautiful sleek lines, a clean and uncluttered flush deck, as well as her powerful rig make this vessel worthy of that name.

On the outside, a fixed carbon bimini with large panes covering the main cockpit works alongside vertically sliding glass windows. This highly comfortable area allows passengers to find shelter from the elements, when necessary. With a spacious and open environment, this area includes stunning surrounding views and several lounging areas for guests to enjoy.

The main dining area on-board is equally impressive, featuring an al fresco dining and being able to accommodate a company of up to ten guests comfortably. When the yacht makes port, the panoramic U-shaped cockpit aft is the perfect place to relax, while waiting for the next departure.

Speaking of which, guests areas had to be comfortable and stylish, since this sailing yacht could take you to the ends of the world, and nothing but the most luxurious conditions would do. All guest areas are spacious and flooded in natural light, while the main saloon boasts a particularly open and airy ambiance. With lounge and bar areas, the saloon is the central guest area when it comes to enjoying life and the company of others.

Inside this beautiful sailing yacht there’s a light color palette and fine materials which include distinctively grained leathers, a special lacquer for the bathrooms imitating the elephant skin pearl pigmentation and Indian influenced geometric patterns.

The spacious master suite, as well as the three additional double suites – each with a luxury en suite – offer lavish accommodations for all guests, each of them qually spacious and stylish. Ganesha is a game-changer, a performance vessel equally comfortable and efficient, not to mention outrageously beautiful.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In

FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.  

Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila

Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.

Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales

The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.

Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas

Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.

Puerto Galera Yacht Club, Oriental Mindoro

Further south, yachtsmen may moor at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club in Oriental Mindoro, an island location that’s home to tourist attractions like the Sabang Wreck dive site, lively beachfront resorts, and the Malasimbo Music Festival. Puerto Galera Yacht Club has been in operation for almost thirty years and lends services such as refueling provisions and yacht repairs from its marina. Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.

Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan

Beautiful Palawan is a bucket-list destination for many, especially those who dream of cruising its crystalline waters. Accommodating the yachting community in this island province is the Busuanga Yacht Club, which promises secure mooring amidst breathtaking white-sand beaches. Here, each vessel will benefit from a typhoon-safe harbor, easy refueling, and direct access to transportation hubs like the New Busuanga Airport. Adjoining this marina is the Puerta del Sol Bay Resort, which offers luxurious accommodations to visitors. When not atop the deck of a boat, travelers can also explore the lagoons and freshwater lakes of Coron, go shipwreck diving, or relax in the hot springs of Maquinit.

Iloilo Sailing Club, Arevelo, Iloilo City, Iloilo

Iloilo Province is home to some of the country’s most beautiful old-world architecture, a flourishing ecotourism industry, and delectably fresh seafood cuisine. What will round off an unforgettable visit to Iloilo, however, is an excursion to the Iloilo Sailing Club on a leisure watercraft. The club accepts visitors and encourages membership in the case of medium and long-stay mooring. It also hosts a number of amenities and activities, including a dinghy storage, a beach bar and restaurant, and classes for those who want to learn about sailing. In recent months, the Iloilo Sailing Club has also been a convenient meet-up point for big maritime events, such as the Iloilo-Guimaras Paraw Regatta and the Seafarers’ Job Fair.

Cebu Yacht Club, Mactan Island, Cebu

The historic Mactan Island in Cebu was the site of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines. Now known as a commercial hub that hosts a prolific furniture and musical instruments industries, Mactan is also the location of the Cebu Yacht Club, an institution that is beloved by the locals. Aside from being an ideal spot to restock on much-needed fuel and supplies, the Cebu Yacht Club is also a trusted club to commission for boat repairs. There’s a good vibe in this club for everybody, as it sports both luxury accommodations and a waterfront strip of restaurants that laid-back diners can frequent. MINDANAO

Holiday Oceanview Marina, Samal Island, Davao del Norte

The Holiday Oceanview Marina is a major attraction of Samal Island in Davao del Norte Province, one that welcomes Filipino and foreign yachtsmen alike to moor within its premises. The space is quite roomy, in fact, with 56 berths that can fit vessels up to 15 meters in length. The club also has a boat ramp that can accommodate boats up to 18 meters in length. The well-guarded and weather-safe marina is a gateway to some of Mindanao’s finest attractions, such as the Pearl Farm, Hagimit Falls, and Giant Clam Sanctuary.  

There’s no better way to discover the Philippines from end to end than getting onboard a seaworthy vessel and going on a long cruise, with stops in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Find a safe harbor in any of these major clubs and marinas, and participate in the renaissance of sailing in the Philippines.
