launch of yacht MY SONG by Nautor’s Swan

The 24.38m/79.11ft racing yacht was designed for an experienced owner who was in attendance for the ceremony. The exterior styling was created by Juan Kouyoumdjian while the interiors are naval architecture was completed by the shipyard in collaboration with Persico Marine.

MY SONG yacht

To make her a high-performance modern racing yacht, she is constructed with a lightweight hull and shallow draft, using a 4.75m/15.7ft canting keel. She also has a retractable bowsprit able to hoist a spinnaker and twin rudders.

interior

Marcell Persico, CEO of Persico Marine, says that she is built to the same standards that the company uses for America’s Cup contenders and IMOCA 60s that take part in The Ocean Race and Vendée Globe – some of the world’s toughest ocean races.

In addition to her racing credentials, MY SONG and the CS80 model, in general, is a highly desirable choice for fast sailing, shorthanded sailing and sports cruising in comfort.

The versatile interiors are designed so that she offers a comfortable environment for weekend cruising, and as much weight as possible can be removed when it is time for regattas: The Master Suite has a king-sized bed that can be divided into two twins or removed entirely. In fact, most of the interior can be removed if it is not needed for racing, from the gimballed oven and salon tables to the carbon fibre toilets in the three bathrooms and the aircon system

cabin

The minimalist interior styling further reduces excess weight while creating an inviting, masculine environment using grey-black carbon fibre accented by rich red-brown mahogany, russet accents in the furnishings and abundant warm lighting.

This first ClubSwan 80 model completes the ClubSwan range, which also consists of the CS36, CS50 and CS125 models.

Sailing yacht MY SONG will show the world what she is capable of when she makes her public debut at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup this September 2022, followed by the Monaco Yacht Show taking place 28th September – 1st October 2022.

Luxury yacht BLUE left the Bremen shipyard on the 2nd of July on her maiden voyage. In completing her delivery, she has become the fifth largest yacht in the world, displacing 156m/511.9ft DILBAR, launched in 2016 and also from Lurssen. 2006 162m/531.5ft mega-yacht DUBAI keeps her place in spot four.

The onboard technology is designed for efficiency and to have an as little environmental impact as possible. The engineering specialists at Lurssen produced the highly efficient Diesel-Electric hybrid propulsion concept, which combines Diesel propulsion technology with electric propulsion systems. The two Diesel engines drive two controllable pitch propellers through individual gearboxes, which are equipped with PTI/PTO units which at low speeds can be used for electric propulsion, or for electrical energy generation at higher speeds. An electric Azimuth Pod Drive can be used simultaneously when the PTI units are engaged, or separately in electric mode.

To aid in reducing noise, vibration and exhaust nitrogen oxide levels, BLUE is fitted with a cutting-edge exhaust after-treatment system. Elsewhere on board, the wastewater treatment system is just as state-of-the-art, using new membrane technology where treated wastewater reaches ‘drinking water quality before it is discharged.

Luxury yacht BLUE has interior and exterior styling by Terence Disdale, and currently known onboard amenities include two helipads, a Jacuzzi and a beach club, while the interiors remain a secret.
