Chapeau!

You know Nicolas, these pictures are so good and so noise-free and the boat is so shiny, I swear my first thought was that they were CIG (computer generated image). Simply wonderful, bravo!

Cheers,

Nicolas,

That craft is so beautifully slick. It looks as if it is made out of a machined block of aluminum. I would love to know what kind of vessel it is and what is below? Is it a pleasure craft only or also a racing boat?

This seems very broad for its length. Is it possibly a twin hull?

Also now you have provoked interest, can we see a picture of the whole boat cutting through the water with a nice wake?

Hi Nicolas,

All the images are great, but the first two are my favourites. I prefer the dynamics that come with the angle of the boat across the frame.

It must be wonderful to be paid to go out to sea and take photos of super yachts - you're a lucky man! :)

Thanks Cem,
these reults are the combination of a perfect glossy varnished finish of the yacht hull together with 1DsMkIII raw files/beautifull 70-200 IS/500 IS bokey developped with Capture One 4.8 (pro version).

PS these image haven't seen/visit Photoshop. I only used Light Room 2 to embbed (a real miss in Capture One) the signature (all other settings to 0)

this boat is brand new (not yet delivered to her owner). She's made of carbon composite and is a monohull. It is a pleasure boat with strong racing capacities.
The interior is contemporary style : white glossy laquer and black carbon composite, all enlighten by 15 thousand leds throught the yacht, these leds can change of color from "white" to pink or blue on push button…
The roof (that black thing over the teak deck) is made of special glass. From outside you can't see thru, but from inside you can see outdoor as if the glass where almost transparent.

I have been following the constrution of that boat from the early beginning (so did Romain too in video) as we are producing a book and a film on that boat.

I can post only a few images but have to keep the owner's privilege to allow the sjots to be seen…

BTW these are shots of one day of the sea trials, the wind was close to none so no wave to cut thru!
We will shoot the boat next summer in Sardinia to complete the set of photographs.
In the meantime we'll have shot the interiors (where I'll give another try to the arTec…)

Hi Leonardo

Capture One 4.8 together with OS X.5.7 rocks! Very good IQ, the best I could finf with RCs.
The only thing LR2 does better in extreme situations is highlight recovery, but one has to get a better exposure settings when shooting… ;-)

BTW I'm envious too about Bolivia, would love to get there one day…

43 m carbon mast Is that the final height or the raw materials?

Hi Ben

it's a secret well hidden, but roughly count more than 10 billions €…
It did bring :
25000 hours of technical design (18 engineers & specialists)
1600 plans
110000 labour hours

… still good for employement!

Ask you're parents to increase your pocket money ;-)

Hi Nicolas
yes another nice new boat on the water…!

I slept on Mari-Cha 3 (43 meters) during the 1999 Sydney-Hobart race… Noisy! (see the video)
But these carbon yachts are (Chrisco, Only Now, Ourson Rapide etc.) are fully sound-proofed (yes I know, a bit of heresia: gain of wheight but spoiled by the weight of insulation;-) sothey are relatively noise free…

BTW I checked ourson rapide website… you should propose to do some pictures… theirs are…
