M/Y Vertige, the second build for Tankoa Yachts –sold in February 2015 to an expert French owner –after delivery to her owner and an intense charter season in the Mediterranean, is present at the 2017 Monaco Boat Show for her official debut.

The Tankoa S501 Vertige represents the quintessential union between a highly qualified shipbuilder and a sales and marketing organization in daily contact with the owner, captain and consultant.

“It was a very interesting project as everyone’s intentions, from the shipyard workers to the management to the owner, was to create the most elegant fifty meter yacht on the market. We are sure to have succeeded. Michel Karsenti, Sales Director at Tankoa Yachts, continues:“We are more than happy with the result. Creating a six cabin yacht, including two suites on the main deck, enormous open air spaces, yet keeping under 500 gross tons and maintaining such an elegant design has been very satisfying.”

S501 M/Y VERTIGE –DESIGN DETAILS

Tankoa’s management has worked in very close contact with Francesco Paszkowski in project design with the followingobjectives:

-Obtain a timeless perfectly balanced design that doesn’t worry about current market trends.

-Offer an ideal layout allowing owners and guests to circulate throughout the yacht without meeting any crew members, while at the same time allowing the crew to freely move around while carrying out their duties.

-Give the owner of a 499 gross ton yacht the kind of comfort and equipment more commonly found on much larger yachts.

-The S501’s hull number one features six cabins, including an owner’s cabin and master suite on the main deck, two VIP and two guest cabins on the lower deck, a gym, home cinema, garage for the 7m tender, two jet skis with a second service tender forward, plus further features like full height glass widows and a hydraulic terrace in the owner’s cabin and the open air salon aft –all combining to increase her already ample dimensions.

Maintaining a constant visual contact with the sea was one of the other objectives assigned to Francesco Paszkowski’s design team, who tells us: “The Tankoa S501 Vertige is the result of concerted action between the yard, the owner and our offices. We understood each other right from the start of this project’s development, which was characterized by in-depth research into materials and architectural elements, extremely careful work carried out in the yard –they completed the project with an excellent quality level –and, for the first time in a Tankoa, a plumb bow, giving us a glimpse of the future direction of the yard. As for the exteriors, we went ahead on several different fronts: energizing the dimensions of all exterior surfaces, from the sunbathing areas to the conversation zones; developing the exterior terraces, both fore and aft; amplifying the sun-shaded areas with the use of convertible awnings. We have also removed the aft toe-rails to free-up the view and sunk the glass surfaces into the superstructure, eliminating any obstructions from the inside looking out.”

As expressly requested by the owner, the interiors were designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design Studio in collaboration with MargheritaCasprini to reflect a “modern yet warm” atmosphere. “Being on the same frequency as the rest of the team allowed us to devote extra attention to material and architectural details,” confirmed MargheritaCasprini. “The owner was in full agreement with our proposals, and on occasion enriched them with personal proposals, such as having two cabins on the main deck, the owner’s and a VIP cabin, similar but not identical. We satisfied this request proposing the use of different colors for the same materials. In creating these interiors we added to the choice of materials the combination of various textures and colors like matt bleached uncolored teak matched with glossy rosewood, a high-contrast mix, and the analysis of details like the shape of the steps on the formidable aerial staircase that connects the decks.And finally, the layout of the lower deck and the use of that same teak let us create a luminous and welcoming crews quarters.

The result is, without a doubt, the most beautiful 50 meter yachts ever built under 500 gross tons. The level of finishings, both interior and exterior, is in line with what everyone would expect to find on a much larger yacht.

S501 M/Y VERTIGE –CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

The TankoaVertige S501 is entirely built of light alloy Aluminum 5083, decreasing weight and therefore fuel consumption, while guaranteeing ease of maintenance.

Her construction was followed attentively by project manager Albert McIlroy, engineer and owner’s representative, widely experienced in the construction of yachts around the world but above all in northern Europe. Referring to the work carried out on the S501, McIlroysaid that “with the S501 the yard made incredible progress in managing deadlines and production work, with a Teutonic approach so unusual for an Italian yard that it left me speechless. After having supervised the construction of yachts around the world, I can say that the work rhythm and productivity at Tankoa are exceptional; it’s probably the first time that I’ve seen build times respected while maintaining the incredible flexibility that Tankoa’s becoming known for.”

This same flexibility is combined with another plus: Tankoa’s organization and planning ability, choosing only the best sub-contractors and suppliers to offer a perfect Italian Style package at a price much more competitive than with our northern European colleagues.
