SPECIFICATIONS

Ocean Alexander’s history spans the revolution in Taiwanese yacht building that began in earnest in the 1970s. While the Taiwanese initially competed in terms of value, today a new generation of craftsmen and artisans produce some of the finest boats in their respective markets. Ocean Alexander’s Altus series combines this earned wisdom and the economy of building in Mainland China. The line allows Ocean Alexander to extend its brand and preserve its image. 

Naval architect Ed Monk Jr. developed the profiles and general arrangements of this 48, as he has for Ocean Alexander’s designs from the beginning. The result is a pleasing blend of conservative West Coast proportion with a touch of European influence. The subtle rise of her chine forward and her modest flam and flare are sensible and what you would expect from Monk. Her straight sheer and sweptback superstructure are more challenging and create a contemporary look.

Her interior layout reflects the demands of American clients. The headroom, seating and berths are geared to American yachtsmen. The main cabin is open and airy. Pathways are not chiseled through built-in furniture, and the galley is not cloistered in a pit or hidden behind a partition, as is the case with some European-inspired designs. Anyone who is familiar with Ocean Alexander’s well-executed interiors will be pleased with the look and feel of the 48’s satin finished Burmese teak interior.

The saloon is aft, the galley and interior helm station a step above and forward. Belowdecks, the master stateroom is forward. The guest staterooms, one with a queen and one with upper and lower berths, share the second head.

"Summertime's" Luxury Package ($16,500) includes granite countertops, upgraded soft goods and an upgraded entertainment center, featuring a 42-inch plasma screen TV on a lift. Sher also has the optional Air-conditioning Package ($25,000), which included an upgraded generator that was recently replaced with a 12kw Northern Lights.

In a compromise to styling, her low profile doesn’t allow deck access adjacent to the interior helm: you must go through the cockpit. Full walk-around side decks will make the 48 easy to handle.

Monk has left space in the cockpit for a table and chairs, and incorporated a transom door for access to the platform. The bridge includes a control station with helm and companion seating and a lounge area with a table. 'Summertime" has the wet bar with a refrigerator, sink and barbecue are optional ($3,960). Since there is no boat deck, carrying a tender will require a transom davit.

All construction materials, machinery and equipment are imported. Marine plywood and interior hardware are shipped from Europe, fiberglass materials, system components and appliances come primarily from the United States. In my view, this is one of the advantages of boats built in the Far East: pumps, float switches, appliances and other expendable stuff are readily available in the United States.

Ocean Alexander builds the 48 in female tooling, using a combination of stitched and woven fiberglass reinforcements set in polyester and vinylester resins. A network of cored fiberglass stringers and resin-coated plywood bulkheads supports the hull. Balsa core, vacuum bagged into place, stiffens the topsides, decks and superstructure and reduces weight above the waterline. Exterior surfaces are finished in gelcoat.

Her engineroom is abaft the accommodations and is separated from the lazarette by a door. Access is possible from a hatch in the main cabin or a hatch in the cockpit sole. To facilitate major work, a portion of the cabin sole can be removed. Fuel is carried in aluminum wing tanks abaft the engines, and water is carried in stainless-steel tanks in the lazarette. Electrical and plumbing systems follow American Boat & Yacht Council recommendations. This familiar standard should help reduce the cost of labor in U.S. boatyards-where time is money.

ACCOMODATIONS

Sleeps six owners and guests in three staterooms each ensuite heads.

The MASTER STATEROOM is in the bow and features a centerline queen berth including designer soft goods, bedspread, pillows and shams.

The Ocean Race – Everything you need to know

The crewed around the world race with stopovers has always been one of yachting’s premier ocean races and, after several delays this latest edition is set to start on 15 January 2023.

The race organisers are also running a new event designed to showcase top-flight, fully-crewed, competitive offshore racing based around northern Europe: the Ocean Race Europe.

The Ocean Race is scheduled to run every four years, with the Ocean Race Europe also planned to take place every four years, essentially allowing competition between the teams to take place every two years in one form or another.

It’s unusual for IMOCA 60s to race with more than two crew onboard.

What boats compete in The Ocean Race?

For the first time ever IMOCA 60s will be taking part in a fully crewed round the world race this year, with several teams set to take part.

The IMOCA 60 class has long been at the forefront of ocean racing and is used for the solo non-stop round the world epic, the Vendée Globe as well as a number of other premiere short handed ocean events such as the Route du Rhum and Transat Jaques Vabre .

However, the IMOCA 60s have always been designed and built with single and double handed racing in mind, so teams competing will have had to make significant changes to their semi-foiling 60 footers to make them capable of sailing with a full crew.

The IMOCAs are sailed by a complement of five crew, including an onboard reporter (OBR) that takes no part in the sailing. Each IMOCA 60 team has to include at least one female sailor.

What is The Ocean Race Sprint Cup?

Initially the intention was for two fleets to take part in The Ocean Race proper with the second fleet consisting on the one design VO65 boats used in the last edition of the Volvo Ocean Race.

However, plans have since changed and while the IMOCA 60s will complete a full lap of the planet, including seven legs to finish in Genoa, Italy, the VO65s will sail just the first and last two legs in what the organisers have called The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup .

A new trophy will be awarded to the VO65 team which accumulates the best score across three legs of the race; Alicante, Spain, to Cape Verde; Aarhus, Denmark, to The Hague, the Netherlands; and The Hague to the overall finish in Genoa, Italy.

What is The Ocean Race course?

The course for The Ocean Race has a new first stopover mid-Atlantic at the Cape Verdes, before an extra long Southern Ocean leg of 12,750 miles from Cape Town, South Africa, to Itajai, Brazil. This new stage passes south of all three Great Capes and is expected to take 34 days.

After this mammoth Southern Ocean leg, the fleet then moves onto a series of much shorter legs. From Brazil they head to Newport, USA. They then cross the Atlantic to Aarhus, DEN. After that a very short hop from Aarhus to The Hague, NED fore a race from The Hague back to Genova, ITA.

IMOCA Route

IMOCA - The Ocean Race 2022-23 visits nine iconic international cities over the six-month period, starting from Alicante, Spain in January 2023 and finishing in Genova, Italy at the end of June.

The start of the 14th edition of The Ocean Race will follow the Reyes holiday period in Spain, and sees the foiling IMOCA fleet departing on a 32,000 nautical mile (60,000 km) race around the world.

The first leg is a 1,900 nautical mile sprint from Alicante to Cabo Verde, the first time the Race has stopped at the African archipelago. Historically, the fleet has sailed past the islands as they head south down the Atlantic. Whilst in Cabo Verde, The Ocean Race will take part in its famed Ocean Week, with a focus on local and international sustainability issues.

Leg 2 will start on 25 January and see the fleet racing across the equator, south to Cape Town, the 12th time the Race has stopped in the southern tip of Africa, making it the most visited stopover in this edition of the event. This will also be the first of three ‘haul-out’ stops, where the boats will be lifted from the water for maintenance.

Next up is a record-breaking leg - the longest racing distance in the 50-year history of the event - a 12,750 nautical mile, one-month marathon to Itajaí, Brazil.

In the finest tradition of The Ocean Race, this leg takes the IMOCA sailors down to the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties of the Southern Ocean. Antarctica is to the right and the fleet will need to pass all three great southern Capes - the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin, and Cape Horn - to port, without stopping, for the first time.

There will be another extended, haul-out stopover in Itajaí, Brazil, following this epic southern leg before racing resumes heading north, through the doldrums, across the equator and up to Newport, Rhode Island, on the east coast of the United States.

From there, the Race returns to Europe, with a transatlantic leg to Aarhus, Denmark, followed by a Fly-By of Kiel, Germany en route to a stop in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Then, it’s the final offshore leg - the Grand Finale - to Genova, Italy, for a Mediterranean finish to the race.

Kiel fly-by

Genova the grand finale.

Technical equipment

The Volvo Ocean 65, designed by Farr Yacht in the US and built by a Consortium of Boatyards, has been engineered to integrate the most sophisticated communications equipment on the market. Organisers can track and analyse the fleet's position and sailing conditions throughout the offshore legs from Race Control in the Alicante HQ, as well as communicate instantly with the crew through both video and audio channels.

Thanks to the latest video, satellite and multimedia content production technology, employed by each team's Onboard Reporter, the public will be able to follow the sailors through every wave and gust of 45,000 nm of relentless ocean racing.

Cobham SATCOM supply the satellite communications hardware on board, while Inmarsat’s fleet of satellites, in orbit some 36,000km out in space, deliver the communications technology and bandwidth. Together, they enable an ‘always-on’ connection for teams allowing applications such as internet access, emails, calls, weather reporting and telemedicine.

The presence of five fixed HD cameras and two onboard microphones on board means that every moment is captured. A crash cam on the stern records the action on deck 24/7, keeping four minutes either side of an incident to ensure that nothing is missed. 

Additionally, the Onboard Reporter has access to slow-mo, night vision, POV and wide lens cameras, while drone and 360-degree cameras will be in regular use. The onboard media station features a video editing suite, a camera and a mic controller. Each piece of hardware can be operated remotely from Race HQ if necessary.

The other essential application of communications equipment is safety, and safety is at the heart of every design and build decision in the Volvo Ocean 65 yachts. Each boat is extensively equipped to cover every possible emergency with the satellite communications, Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons or EPIRBs, Personal Location Beacons or PLBs, Search and Rescue Transponders (SARTs), and hand held VHF radios along with aviation frequency emergency radios.

There is also a long list of other safety equipment that includes life rafts, Jon Buoys for man overboard recovery, extensive medical equipment, flares, a man overboard alerting and positioning system and of course, lifejackets and harnesses.

Additionally, B&G delivers complete navigation and instrument systems, technology integration solutions and on-site support to the race organisation and competing teams.

As well as providing propulsion for the boat to motor in and out of the Host City marinas, the Volvo Penta D2-75 engine produces the electricity for the communications equipment, computers, lights and heating throughout the entire race and in emergency situations.

Volvo Ocean 65, VO65 NO6

Persico Marine, Volvo Ocean 65 Built 2015 / €400,000

Broker’s Comments

The Volvo Ocean 65 is an iconic ocean greyhound. Conceived especially for the Volvo Ocean Race, with a brief following a downturn of entries from the spiraling costs of the Volvo 70 – a study was undertaken to provide a one-design class to keep costs down and provide a close and entertaining race for the public to follow.

Farr Yachts’ design produced a yacht that was capable of being just 2.7% slower than the Volvo 70 class, but significantly more robust, and designed with more protection for the crew. In fact, the Volvo 65 holds the Volvo Ocean Race 24 hour distance record, a testament to the strong build and excellent design of the yacht.

Volvo Ocean 65 NO6 has competed in the race a few times, originally as VESTAS and TURN THE TIDE ON PLASTIC. Now available from the new owners for the next race and beyond, she comes as a complete package with support containers.

Volvo ocean race : before the race is after the race: the new "super 60".

 ·  07.09.2017

The days of the Volvo Ocean 65 are numbered. This type of boat will be used for the second time in this year's Volvo Ocean Race, after which it is over. A new boat is to be built and cover more facets than the previous one.

It is designed to be flexible and can be used for both the Volvo Ocean Race and the Vendée Globe single-handed non-stop regatta. This should enable future teams to take part in the two most important ocean races with less effort than before. Due to the Vendée Globe's length limit of 60 feet, it will be a 60-footer, that much is clear.

In a video, the organiser now shows a so-called mock-up, a 1:1 model of the future boat, project name "Super 60", on which a team of boat builders and designers is currently working. Elements of the current Open 60 of the Vendée Globe can be recognised, and the use of so-called deck spreaders, which enable movable shrouds and a mast that can be tilted sideways, is also being discussed.

In view of the effort that has already gone into the new type of boat, the result will be very exciting.

History of Astrakhan Oblast

In ancient times, the territory of the Astrakhan region was crossed by trade routes of the Persians and the Arabs. In the 8th-10th centuries, the territory belonged to the Khazar Khanate. There is a hypothesis that Itil, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, was located on this territory. It was destroyed by Prince Svyatoslav in 965.

Later, Polovtsy settled on this land. In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongol-Tatars came to the area. After them, Tatars of the Astrakhan Khanate and Kazakhs became the main population of the region.

In 1556, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Astrakhan Khanate was annexed to the Russian state and ceased to exist. Astrakhan krai became the southeastern military outpost of Russia. In particular, in 1569, the Turks unsuccessfully besieged the fortress of Astrakhan.

In the 17th century, trade, fishing and salt industries developed in the region. In the middle of the 17th century, the uprising of Stepan Razin took place on the territory of Astrakhan region. In 1722, near the mouth of the Kutum River, a shipyard called the Astrakhan Admiralty was built. In the 1730s-1740s, the processing of silk and cotton began here.

Astrakhan Oblast was created in 1943. The region gained its current borders in 1957.

Astrakhan Region

The Astrakhan Region is situated in the south of Russia where the River Volga drains into the Caspian Sea forming one of the largest river deltas in Europe.  It is also though a  land of both deserts and semi-deserts. Historically this area was the location of Sarai-Batu - the original capital of the Golden Horde.  The administrative centre is the city of Astrakhan, which arose as a Golden Horde trading point and was annexed into Russia by Ivan the Terrible in the mid-16th century.  Today the city is famous for its white kremlin - the most southern  kremlin in the whole of Russia.

The best time to visit the Astrakhan Region is in July and August when the lotuses blossom on the Volga Delta and the famous Astrakhan watermelons are harvested.  The region is also associated with the black caviar from the Caspian Sea.
