Attessa IV Gleams in Fresh ALEXSEAL® Topcoat

October 18, 2017


The refit and extension of Attessa IV may seem an immense undertaking, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for Washington Yachting Group. One of many luxury yachts managed by the company, all have been transformed and added to: over 3 meters on the first Attessa, with Attessa II and III receiving additions of over 5 meters.

Attessa IV started her life in 1999 as the 91-meter Evergreen (Diana Yacht Design) but underwent an extensive transformation in 2007. After being purchased by Dennis Washington, the bow and stern were rebuilt to accommodate 100 meters of lavish appointments. This expansion of nearly 10 meters in length allowed the owners to add in a spa, cinema, and additional private helipad so that guests can have their own landing area on the bow. It was critical to establish an exquisite theme of luxury aboard Attessa IV, both inside and out.

300 Feet and Counting

April 5, 2017

Attessa IV_port
“Application and repairability, that’s why we chose Alexseal over Awlgrip,” explains Edwin Post about the three and a half year refit project on the 100-meter S/Y Attessa IV. The vessel started her life in 1999 as 91-meter Evergreen (Diana Yacht Design) but underwent an extensive transformation when purchased by billionaire Dennis Washington in 2007. The prep-work and application to cover 80 feet near the transom demanded a coatings system that would flawlessly blend with the existing dark blue hull. Post praised the Alexseal sales and support team adding, “Jeff Holland and Alex Sandas stand behind their products and are very helpful.” Continuous application on projects like these require coatings with a forgiving nature to repair gloss
imperfections. “She’s big… and long… we just could not afford a failure with the spray color or clear coat. Alexseal stands up better.”

M/Y Ecstasea Expertly Recoated in ALEXSEAL®

October 12, 2016

One of the most recognized application teams in the superyacht industry, Pinmar’s finishing division has become one of the leading applicators on large yachts for many shipyards and builders throughout the USA, Mediterranean and Europe. The most recent example of this expertise is the successful refit of the 86m (282’) superyacht, Ecstasea, at Nobiskrug Shipyard in Rendsburg, Germany.

Originally launched by Feadship in 2004, M/Y Ecstasea was a technological marvel of its time and still remains highly relevant and respected after 12 years of service. Featuring multiple helipads, a wealth of tender and water toy storage, and many other extravagant accommodations throughout her three-plus decks, the massive proportions of Ecstasea presented no small challenge to the Pinmar application team.

Group CEO of Pinmar’s parent company, Global Yachting Group, Rupert Savage explained there are many fine examples of ALEXSEAL projects navigating Europe thanks to their efforts, “Captains talk to one another and learn that ALEXSEAL is a wellrespected paint brand with excellent results. So, many more yachts are making the decision to use ALEXSEAL. We enjoy working with the products and now have a lot of experience applying them. We have always enjoyed excellent support and service from ALEXSEAL, particularly the great technical support provided by Max Goncalves and Thomas Schultz.”

Tender Shipyard and Alexseal Compliment the World’s Most Modern Yachts

January 8, 2016

By definition, tenders are small boats built to support larger motoryachts and are routinely used to make the connection between ship and shore for the transportation of people and goods. Modern tenders are often custom-built to the same luxurious standards as their motherships, and as the world’s superyachts have grown in size, luxury, and sophistication, so have the design and coatings of their tenders.

Tender ShipyardSince opening their doors in 2012, Tender Shipyard has manufactured over a dozen custom yacht tenders and have several new boats currently under construction. Philippe Cabon, a naval architect by trade, started Tender Shipyard and leads a team that handles all aspects of design and construction from their facility in Olonne sur Mer on the west coast of France. Tender Shipyard’s range of models is impressive, with many composite tender designs involving an infusion of polyester or carbon fiber, and varying in size up to 40 feet (12m). Each model incorporates unique features including retractable and height adjustable hardtops, along with different power options including outboard, inboard and jet drive. One can find boats from Tender Shipyards all around the world, accompanying many impressive yachts from renowned builders such as Benetti, Heesen, Lurssen and Sunrise Yachts. From their very beginning, Tender Shipyard was looking for a finish of the highest quality possible for these runabouts; a search which led them to choose the full product range of ALEXSEAL, including primers, fairing compounds and finish coatings. With continuing new developments in ALEXSEAL’s product lines, and expansion of our global distribution network, ALEXSEAL provides Tender Shipyard with the quality, advanced technology and product availability they need to compliment the most elite and stylish yachts in the world—many of which are also utilizing ALEXSEAL products.

Fairer Outcomes: A Look at the Superyacht Coatings Industry

December 6, 2015

From the November, 2015 issue of SuperYacht Business:

Fairer OutcomesThe coatings industry is confident in its ability to cope with future challenges such as tougher and emission regulations and increasing superyacht lengths.

Against the backdrop of ever-tightening volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions regulations restricting the use of solvents, paint manufacturers still manage to produce coatings to the highest Distinctness of Image (DOI) gloss values demanded by the superyacht market. Yet yards and their applicator subcontractors had, until recently, been facing a rising incidence of disputes from owners’ teams of advisors over the quality of paint finished. But now the industry’s efforts to bring in an accredited third-party inspection system has started to exert a widely welcomed settling influence.

November 12, 2015

AddictionAs part of the highly successful 171 Series by Amels, M/Y Addiction was originally built in 2010 to a specified length of 54.3 meters (178 feet) and recently underwent a refit in 2015 at Monaco Marine in La Ciotat, France.
