Shortly after the delivery of the 140 metre long "Ocean Victory", Fincantieri presents an impressive concept design from the computer of Dutch yacht designer Cor D. Rover.

With a length of 80.40 metres, the "Skyback" project is nowhere near the capacity of the Italian shipyard with halls in La Spezia, but the technical refinements of the six-decker are likely to provide the shipyard engineers with many an extra meeting. On request, the long, open aft deck of the displacer can be covered by a winter garden consisting of three large, movable glass panels that span the entire deck at the touch of a button. Below this is a long swimming pool with pool technology patented by Cor D. Rover (issue 4/14).

In the designer's invention, a movable pool floor can be hydraulically adjusted to the desired pool depth. This means the floor can also be used as a disco dance floor. The system is 100 per cent sealed using seals and then completely filled with water. "This prevents dangerous sloshing," explains the designer.

"Skyback" is designed for ten guests and a crew of 27 and travels at a maximum speed of 18 knots. With a cruising speed of twelve knots, the planners expect a range of 6000 nautical miles. Two diesel engines, each with 2465 kilowatts of power, supply the controllable pitch propellers and the bow thruster. Various tenders and toys with a length of 7.50 metres are stored in the various tender garages.

Martin Hager

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
