The World of Winch Design

• Alexandra Groom
• November 21, 2016

"I always say the next project is more exciting than the last,” is a thrilling sentence to hear coming from a man who counts Madame Gu, Ace and Dilbar among the yachts in his extensive portfolio. What ever could come next? The mind boggles.

This year Andrew Winch is celebrating the milestone of 30 years of Winch Design, and there is a significant amount to reflect on. Not content, however, with being one of the industry’s elite yacht designers, he is also celebrating 15 years of the Winch Aviation Studio team and ten years since the inception of his Architecture Studio. It’s an impressive tally, and speaks volumes about a man passionately dedicated to design in all its forms. Only one other thing left to celebrate this year: his 60th birthday. “I grew up on the South Coast in Bosham, Chichester Harbour. My father still lives there, and I learnt to sail with him. Sailing was what initially got me into boat design. I sailed across the Atlantic as a skipper when I was 21, on a 52-footer. When I came back to Europe I decided I didn’t want to be crew, I wanted to design!”

As well as listening to his clients’ wishes, Winch knows when to include more personal suggestions. “On Sea Owl we carved a four-storey magic tree based on Peter Pan. I grew up in Kensington and going to the gardens to see the sculpture was an inspiration. I told that story to the owners who are grandparents and they loved it. They said: ‘Let’s make a magic wall of everything about America!’” The yacht was an interesting project for the Winch studio. “We were building the first Sea Owl , a 43-metre at Burger Yachts, when the clients said: ‘We’ve already realised it’s not going to be big enough. Andrew, we want you to start designing a new boat. Maximum size is 62 metres, let’s get on with it!’ So we hadn’t even finished the first one when we started the bigger one.” The clients kept both yachts for different types of cruising. “Every weekend in summer they get on a boat. It’s a sense of freedom, and it relaxes the parents and the children and grandchildren. It’s about them loving their spaces.”

Inside the design journey of the 222m private residence yacht Somnio

From the 196m The World to the proposed 289m Njord , private residence yachts are growing rapidly in popularity. Now, Winch Design has joined the fray, presenting designs for a 222m “private residence superyacht” named Somnio which will be built at Norwegian yard Vard for a scheduled 2024 launch. But rather than joining the existing fleet of these vessels, Somnio is set to stand apart, according to Winch’s creative director of yachts and aviation Jim Dixon.

• Inside the world's biggest private residence yachts

Somnio , Dixon says, is “neither a superyacht nor a cruise liner” but will instead “create a niche in the market by itself - a Yacht Liner”. This is a philosophy that guides the whole project from the bones up. Dixon reveals the “fast track” construction process, which will see the first steel cut in March 2022, will be based on the existing build process of a “conventional cruise ship”. “That’s why we’re building at Vard,” he adds, “because they’ve got such experience building cruise ships”. However, the fundamental construction of the hull and superstructure will be married with the “experience and quality” of interior contractors from the superyacht industry, which typically fit many of Winch Design's superyacht projects. “It’s a substantially higher level of design, quality and complexity than you would see on a typical cruise liner”, Dixon adds.

Elsewhere, Somnio will be bursting with the “facilities, amenities and itinerary you would expect from a luxury cruise liner”, including a panorama lounge, a 10,000-bottle "wine den", a variety of restaurants and a huge beach club complete with its own marina. But with only 39 customisable apartments on board, listed with starting price of €9.5m, Somnio will embody the “privacy, security and exclusivity that a superyacht owner would expect.” “We are trying to give potential owners the best of both,” Dixon says.

Key to this exclusivity is the selection process which will field the hopeful owners of the 39 apartments on board. The team behind the project, which includes former captain of The World Erik Bredhe, has established a steering committee which will select owners according to its strategy to bring together a “community of like-minded individuals”, Dixon reveals. 

The marketing effort won't have any particular geographical focus, Dixon says. When it comes to prospective buyers, Somnio is proving the popularity of the private residence yacht model. The project has received a “huge amount of interest” from all areas of the buying community since it was first revealed in late June 2021, including enquiries from brokers, family offices, investment groups and individuals. As far as Dixon is concerned, “all buying channels are open”, as is the possibility of some buyers investing in more than one apartment.

Designs are already well underway on the fully customisable 39 apartments, which range from a 150sqm one bedroom apartment to a 600sqm apartment, which is large enough to include three to four bedrooms with a living and dining area. “The intention is that the apartments are self-sufficient,” Dixon explains. Owners are encouraged to include a kitchen space in their apartments to allow them to cook on board. They can also use the “ship’s room service” or eat out at the many restaurants on board.

When it comes to interior design, owners can opt for an interior penned by Winch and the project design partner Tillberg of Sweden. Each owner will have the chance to issue their own individual design brief and choose features including a private massage room, gym, private office and various accommodation layouts. The intention, Dixon says, is for owners to design their apartments around the lifestyle they plan to have on board. “Some owners might choose to spend three to six months on board,” Dixon says, pointing to the pandemic as a factor in this. “We know more owners are wanting to spend more time on their vessels, bring their families and conducting business on board.”

To ensure owners are well provided for, Somnio will be fully equipped with medical facilities to ensure “everyone is kept safe and healthy”. Owners can be taken “ashore as quickly as needed” thanks to the vessel’s fleet of tenders and helipad on the foredeck. Additional focus has been put on offering a wider range of wellness treatments and maximising the facilities available at the on board spa. A crew of around 170 will be on hand to facilitate owners’ stints on board, with the possibility of a “dedicated concierge” attending solely to one owner, their guests and family.

Somnio is already well advanced in the engineering phase and is set to begin construction in March 2022. Until then, there’s plenty to do, with Winch already fleshing out a typical apartment to show the select group destined to become the Somnio’s exclusive community of owners.

ANDREW WINCH – The Inventive Luxury Designer

To say that Andrew Winch has imagined some of the most aesthetic, stylish, and efficient boats understates the beauty of his designs.

His career has elicited everything from amazement to envy from his clients and peers alike. In his unique style, Andrew Winch has redefined luxury for superyachts, private jets, and other exclusive vehicles.

Brief History

Andrew Winch is one of a few successful designers who were mentored by the legend, Jon Bannenberg. After six years of learning from the master designer, Winch decided to establish his studio.

Andrew Winch and his wife, Jane Winch, established Andrew Winch Designs in 1986. The company was renamed Winch Designs in 2o15.

The Secret Behind Winch Designs’ Success

Regardless of the economic and societal turmoil that the world experiences, Winch Designs always comes out on top. And the reason for this is quite simple: they have forward-thinking leaders.

The virtue of proactive efforts is shared by the founder (current creative director), Andrew Winch, the CEO, Aino-Leena Grapin, to the various departmental managers.

For instance, while other companies are trying to adapt to working remotely, employees at Winch Designs are already adept at virtual meetings and working from home and in various parts of the world.

Notable Launches

Winch Designs collaborated with Feadship to create the 62-m Sea Owl and the 99-m Madame Gu . They’ve also worked with Lurssen to launch the 85-m Ace and 41.14-m Phoenix 2 .

It’s clear to even the most casual observer that Winch Designs will not only continue to exist but also thrive for decades to come.

Its leaders’ daringly creative and prudent nature will ensure that Winch Designs remains on top of the yachting industry.

Reverie by Winch Design for Oceanco

Oceanco has a well-earned reputation for building some of the largest and most recognizable superyachts in the world. But as I’ve learned during visits to their main shipyard in The Netherlands, and at various boat shows around the world, the Oceanco team is always looking for innovative new ways to design and build their special breed of superyachts.

So, I was intrigued when I saw Oceanco had launched its Simply Custom program that’s specifically designed to streamline the process of designing and building an 80-meter (262ft) yacht. Since 80 meters is the “sweet spot” for lots of new superyachts in build these days, I was hardly surprised to see their innovative new program focus on the 80-meter range.

But what did surprise me was just how “holistic” the Simply Custom program is because they’re introducing way more than just another new superyacht design. They’ve also partnered with Lateral Naval Architects and numerous other firms to design a state-of-the-art technical platform that’s ready to build today, while also being flexible enough to upgrade and modify as new breakthroughs in propulsion and other key areas come on line in the future

Clarity by Espen Oino International

“We created Simply Custom because we saw there was a growing demand to build custom yachts in a new way. Owners still want the very best quality in their yachts, and to have something designed and built just for them. But many have less desire to focus on every detail in the process. They expect to entrust technical matters to experts like Oceanco and our partners. And, perhaps most importantly, they want building a yacht to be simple and fun,” explains Oceanco’s Group Marketing Director, Paris Baloumis.

But I have to be honest, Oceanco’s ability to have all of the world’s best yacht designers submit their vison for what the ultimate 80-meter superyacht might be the coolest thing of all. Here are just a few designs from Oceanco’s ultimate superyacht wish list !

Espen Øino International

Espen Oino International's submission in Oceanco's Simply Custom program.

Espen Øino explains the thinking behind his firm’s submission they call Clarity . “When asked to participate in designing a yacht for Oceanco’s Simply Custom Collection, my team and I were inspired by one word: SIMPLE! What does simple mean? To solve a problem in an efficient, elegant, and smart way.

“Inspired by this definition, we went off to solve some challenges in a simple yet smart way. The yacht features very large overhangs in the superstructure to provide shade and to reduce the heat gain inside the vessel on the decks below. The excess surfaces above we used for photovoltaic cells.

“The main deck lounge is designed as a large winter garden, which can be opened to make use of the wind as natural ventilation. The overall objective being to reduce the onboard energy consumption and increase the renewable part of the onboard energy production. The extensive use of large shaded exterior spaces reflects our vision of enjoying life at sea and the outdoors.”

Nuvolari Lenard

Domino by Nuvolari Lenard yacht design

Domino pays homage to the decades of experience that Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard have gathered along their award-winning careers at Nuvolari Lenard in Venice. An elegant simplicity is displayed the sweeping bow all the way to the graceful aft staircases that flank the swimming pool on the main deck. The curvaceous decks and glass bulwarks also give Domino a distinctive look.

Domino by Nuvolari Lenard

“We believe Domino represents the state of the art, in terms of beauty and functionality,” says Dan Lenard. “While also offering an owner a starting point from which to create a yacht that is perfectly suited to an owner.”

Aurai Simply Custom 80 meter by Bozca

Timur Bozca describes his design like this. “An embodiment of two worlds merging, Aurai is named after ‘nymphs of breezes’ in Greek mythology. Its exceptional exterior is influenced by the lines of a swordfish – an expression of strength – that is softened by the fluidity of natural forms, evoking a balance between power and grace.

“At every step, our focus has been on creating an experience that transcends the ordinary. Aurai doesn’t just navigate the waves, it dances with them; offering a symphony of luxury, innovation and connection to the sea.

“The visionary hull is divided into two halves, not only adding an element of intrigue but also elevating performance. The superstructure is elegantly sleek, marrying seamlessly with the hull for a harmonious and striking profile. Moving inward, the beach club serves as a testament to our commitment to immersive experiences. Every detail, from sand-like stairs to miniature gardens, captures the essence of a coastal haven. Dynamic structural elements pay homage to the ever-changing contours of the shoreline, inviting a sense of movement even when anchored.”

Winch Design

Reverie by Winch Design for Oceanco's Simply Custom program

“Our duty as a designer is to bring purpose, inspiration and innovation in our solutions to clients’ dreams,” says Jim Dixon of Winch Design . “Gazing from our Thames-side studio, we see the beauty of a ‘slipper’ launch and the nature of the pebbled water’s edge, which came together as Reverie .

Reverie by Winch Design for Oceanco Simply Custom

“Simple references form lasting impressions and strong, pure concepts; this is the Winch approach.”

Superleggera 80m by Hot Lab for Oceanco Simply Custom

Superleggera 80, is the aptly named design from Italian design studio Hot Lab because its sexy and elegant lines are reminiscent of a 1960s automobile. While the architectural elements of glass, natural light and space provide a perfect connection between the interior and exterior of the yacht.

Superleggera 80m by Hot Lab for Oceanco Simply Custom program

“At Hot Lab, we understand that today’s clients place higher value on how a space connects them to such deeper emotions, rather than simply serving a practical function,” says Antonio Romano.“ This is seen in the colossal 5m height of the Superleggera 80’s main deck atrium and the clean, sweeping lines of the yacht’s aft as the floor flows past the infinity-effect pool and glazed bulwark to the swim platform beneath in one uninterrupted curve.”

“Custom building is a core part of our DNA,” says Oceanco CEO Marcel Onkenhout. “We will always create yachts that are uniquely tailored to each owner. And we see Simply Custom as a logical development for Oceanco, sitting alongside our fully custom yachts and Life Cycle Support refit service, which will always be a part of our offering. The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and we have experienced a definite appetite for this new way of buying an Oceanco in an approachable, fun and streamlined way,”

For superyacht shoppers, the Palm Beach International Boat Show, kicking off its four-day run this week, is set to break records with more than 60 yachts over 100 feet long on display. Last year was also a banner year for superyachts at the show. 

Headliners will include the likes of the 295-foot Corsair Nero ,  the 278-foot Victorious by AKYacht, the 230-foot Turquoise-built Talisman C , and 213-foot Benetti Triumph among brokerage yachts, and in new yachts, the 113-foot Ocean Alexander Puro 35 is making its world debut.  

There are so many gleaming white vessels over 100 feet, in fact, that the fleet will be split between the Palm Harbor Marina at the main show site on the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront and the Safe Harbor Rybovich Marina two miles north. 

Now in its 42nd year, PBIBS will also showcase hundreds of models of dayboats, cruisers, and fishing boats, as well as marine accessories. Running from this Thursday through Sunday, the show coincides with the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show, a fortuitous opportunity for yacht owners wanting to add new art to their collections.

Here are 10 must-see boats at this year’s show.

Corsair Yachts ‘Nero’

The undisputed star of this year’s Palm Beach show? That would be the 295-foot, classically styled superyacht Nero , built in 2007 and inspired by American financier J.P. Morgan’s legendary 1930s steamer Corsair IV . Nero ‘s attendance at PBIBS marks its return to the charter market after an extensive refit in 2021. Now better than new, the boat is being managed by Burgess. With weekly charter rates from $497,000, the vessel offers five-star accommodations for 12 guests in six cabins, with pampering from a crew of 20. Part of the refit included a full interior refresh by Italian interior designer Laura Pomponi, plus a major focus on wellness. That meant the construction of a new, state-of-the-art gym and spa, the assistance of a certified onboard trainer, a masseuse and beautician. After PBIBS, Nero will spend the winter in the Caribbean before returning to the Med for the summer season.

Ocean Alexander Puro 35P

Ocean Alexander is debuting the first of its new Puro superyacht series at PBIBS. The 113-foot Puro 35P comes from the drawing board of Italian designer Giorgio M. Cassetta and is a step back from the polarizing lines of OA’s recent Revolution and Explorer series with their bold, vertical bow designs. Aimed at long-distance cruising, the 35P can carry over 5,000 gallons of fuel and is powered by twin 2,000 hp MAN V12s for a 24-knot top speed. Twin 55kW Kohler generators can also keep the yacht powered at anchor for long periods. Other standout features include extensive glazing in the chiseled fiberglass hull, a forward deck plunge pool, and spacious accommodations for 10 guests. 

Think of it as the “starter” Sirena. Aimed at a younger demographic, the Turkish builder’s brand-new Sirena 48 is making its U.S. debut at PBIBS after a global reveal at last fall’s Cannes boat show. Such is its appeal that 27 hulls have already been sold, with 13 of the orders coming from North America. Looking like a scaled-down version of Sirena’s popular 58, its distinctive, trawler-style lines are from Argentinian designer Germán Frers. With more interior space than a typical 48-footer, the yacht offers three staterooms—plus a crew cabin—a spacious, light-filled salon, a large cockpit, an oversized flybridge, and a vast forward social area. Take your pick from twin 550 hp Cummins QSB, or 670 hp Volvo D11 turbo diesels. Or the builder is also offering hybrid power with twin 285 hp electric motors charged up by variable-speed generators that are good for a 30-mile battery-only range.

Feadship ‘Olympus’

Picture purchasing a classic 180-foot Feadship superyacht, and then getting a $10 million bill for a major refit. That was the case with Olympus , built by the Dutch masters at Feadship in 1996 to a design by Britain’s Andrew Winch and the celebrated naval architect Frits De Voogt. Sold in 2022, the new owner sent it to the Monaco Marine refit center in La Ciotat, France for a major makeover. It included overhauling the 2,600 hp Caterpillar engines and generators, repairs to the structure, substantial upgrades to the guest areas and crew quarters, and new paint throughout. With the work completed just last year, the vessel is said to be in mint condition. Offered jointly by brokers Fraser and Edmiston, Olympus has an asking price of $28.5 million. With accommodations for 16 guests in eight cabins, the boat’s highlights include two primary suites, tropical-spec air conditioning, and Palm Beach-chic decor.

Benetti ‘Triumph’

Italian yachting powerhouse Benetti is showing off its superyacht-building skills with the 213-foot Triumph . Delivered in 2021, this Giorgio M. Cassetta-designed steel-and-aluminum world girder features six decks, a 1,400-square-foot primary suite with outdoor terrace and adjoining lounge, a 750-square-foot beach club, and a touch-and-go helipad. What sets Triumph apart, however, is its lavish interior furnishings put together by the owner along with Benetti Interior Style and Monaco-based Green & Mingarelli Design. It includes pieces by French glassmaker Lalique, marble from Marfil, Statuario and Armani, furs, silk and wool carpets, plus a collection of cool black-and-white wildlife photographs by British fine art photographer David Yarrow. The pièce de résistance? That would be the owner’s Triumph Bonneville motorcycle displayed in the salon.

Fjord 39 XP/XL

Germany’s Fjord Yachts, part of the Hanse Group, has a new 39-foot day boat that it’s unveiling at the Palm Beach show. The 39 XP and XL keep all the bold design cues of the bigger Fjord 41 XP and XL, like a big, open cockpit, walkaround center console, vertical bow, mile-high windshield and stretched hardtop. As for the differences between the XP and XL, it’s all about power. The XL comes with a choice of twin 320hp Volvo D4 diesels, or bigger 440 hp D6 versions, both with Volvo stern drives. Likely more appealing to U.S. buyers will be the XP powered by twin 400 hp Mercury Verado V10 outboards giving a 50-knot top speed. Pricing starts at around $500,000.

Turquoise ‘Talisman C’

Chandeliers don’t come more dramatic than this. Cascading down the central spiral staircase of the Turkish-built, 231-foot superyacht Talisman C , this jaw-dropping piece of art comprises an array of multi-colored glass balls threaded on stainless-steel rods and illuminated by hanging fiber-optic strands. It’s the creation of Prague-based Crystal Caviar and is one of a number of glass installations on this sleek, low-profile superyacht. Built in 2011 by the Proteksan Turquoise shipyard, Talisman C was designed inside and out by London-based studio H2 Yacht Design, with naval architecture by Italy’s Hydro Tec. With cabins for 12 guests, one of its highlights is a huge primary suite, which boasts more crystal chandeliers and a private library. Twin 2,447 hp Caterpillar diesels give a top speed of 18 knots and a transatlantic range of 7,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. It’s listed with Burgess for $59.9 million. 

Sanlorenzo 44 ‘Kamakasa’

Delivered in 2020 and sold to a new buyer just last August, the 146-foot Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy Kamakasa will be for sale at PBIBS. The asking price, through the Italian Yacht Group, is $23.75 million. Lack of use might also be the issue here; the yacht’s twin 2,600 hp MTU V16 diesels have a mere 289 hours on the clock. Built in aluminum to a design by Rome-based Zuccon International Project, Kamakasa was the second hull in the Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy series. One of the top features is a primary suite that spans three levels and almost 1,600 square feet; it also comes with a private Jacuzzi, separate bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a private study. The yacht’s lightweight construction and MTU power combine to deliver an impressive 20-knot top speed.

Bahama 41 GT2

As ultimate, reel-’em-in, fishing center consoles go, the Bahama 41 from West Palm Beach-based Bahama Boat Works is as hard-core as they come. But when owners kept asking for a little more comfort for the family, the builder responded. The result is the brand-new flagship 41 GT debuting at PBIBS. While the proven, wave-slicing hull stays the same, the cockpit layout is new. In place of the single bench seat, there are now three-across bucket seats with a second row behind. The wider console now has space for a pair of 22-inch Garmin screens, while the new extended hardtop features sun shades and even a rain shower. Outboard choices stay the same with either twin Mercury V12 600s, or four 400 hp Mercury V10s, good for a 65-knot-plus top speed. Pricing is from around $920,000.

Heesen ‘Book Ends’

Launched in 2022, this 164-foot Heesen is part of the Book Ends collection, owned by an American couple who have had more than 18 yachts with the same name. The exterior design of this Heesen was by Omega Architects, while Dutch studio Van Oossanen did the naval architecture. The yacht is part of Heesen’s fast cruising series, which is more efficient than other vessels its size, and can reach 23 knots at full speed with its MTU 16V 4000 M65L engines. The yacht is listed through Ocean Independence for 42 million Euro, or about $45.7 million.

Time for a bigger boat? Check out what the Palm Beach International Boat Show has to offer

Whether you're the son of a son of a sailor or even just love that song and want to know more, the granddaddy of all boating events is happening this weekend along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

That's right, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is back for four glorious days along Flagler Drive.

This will be the 42nd annual event, and organizers promise it will be bigger and better than ever.

There will be $1.2 billion worth of Bond-worthy super yachts, cruisers, sportfishing boats, center consoles and even inflatables to see and tour, along with attractions and activities highlighting the latest in boat engines, motors and accessories. There will also be the latest fishing gear and even fishing seminars.

Yes, it's a big event, but don't be intimidated. In fact, here are seven fun facts about the show:

How many boats can this boat show boast?

There will be more than 800 boats on display along the floating docks in the Intracoastal Waterway.

What is the biggest boat at the boat show?

With a length of 236 feet (and 38 feet wide), Casino Royale takes the title for largest boat this year. This gorgeous yacht, designed for her exterior lines by Francesco Paszkowski with interior by Paszkowski’s interior lead designer Margherita Casprini, is also one of the most technically advanced yachts in her category. Casino Royale is powered by twin Caterpillar 3516B main engines and has an impressive top speed of 17.5 knots. You can put your checkbooks away for this one, however, as she is only on display and not for sale.

This boat is the boat show's most epensive

Built in 2022 and 196-feet long, Come Together is listed for $59,950,000. This expedition yacht was delivered by the Dutch shipyard Amels and features interior styling by British designer Winch Design. It can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins along with 14 crew members.

Are spectators allowed to go on the boats?

To go onboard the yachts and superyachts, visitors must make an appointment with the brokers. For the smaller boats, however, spectators can come onboard if they are interested in buying.

What is the smallest boat?

The smallest boat being displayed on the water is a runabout boat that is 22-feet-6-inches long, and 5-feet-11 wide. It is manufactured by Hermes.

The show will have dozens of food concessions featuring almost anything you could be craving, from Greek gyros to woodfired picanha, authentic street tacos and hand-crafted burgers. On a seafood diet? Enjoy fresh stone crab claws, calamari, oysters, and much more! Vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free? No problem; they have options for you as well.

And libations at the boat show?

Of course there will be drinks. To be precise, there will be four bars for general admission guests, including two floating cocktail barges: the Goslings Island Bar and the Anheuser-Busch Barge. In addition there will be multiple bars in the Windward VIP Club.
