 How did you come to own Latitude? “The extent to which we fulfilled this DESIRE for ADVENTURE went far beyond what I had expected” After owning several smaller boats – a 48ft Imago and three Pershings (64ft, 80ft and 92ft) – I had pretty much had my fill of cruising around in Phuket and Malaysia, and diving in those waters. I wanted something with a bit more range, which would make it possible to go further. I started looking at yachting magazines and then contacted a couple of brokers. Simon Goldsworthy at Camper & Nicholsons understood most clearly what I was looking for, and he started showing me boats, both on paper and with actual visits to the South of France and Italy. I looked at 27 boats for sale…

SOLARIS  www.duffylondon.com The 44-metre Solaris superyacht concept from Duffy London promises silent running and a 45-knot top speed, with ethanol power, solar panels and waterjets.

RIVA RIVAMARE Stand E Dock 500A-I With Riva pushing on with its superyacht building programme, it’s pleasing to see that the yard hasn’t given up on its traditional iconic runabouts. The latest slice of aqua erotica is this 11.9-metre, available in lots of gelcoat colours (shown is London grey).

The standard Volvo sterndrives deliver a top speed over 40 knots. Contact www.riva-yacht.com RAND PICNIC SPORT Stand Land 1013-1014 If you don’t fancy tearing around an anchorage, there’s a kinder, gentler kind of tender making its US debut.

My grandfather, who passed away before I was born, had bought a Chris-Craft in 1939 - I believe it was the first Chris-Craft on our lake. My father, aunts and uncles from that side of the family, had an affinity toward Chris-Craft, and I guess it stuck with me, too. My parents grew up in the US at the tail-end of the Great Depression. They were very frugal - Dutch by heritage. If they needed new wooden furniture for the lake house, they wouldn’t pop out to the furniture store and spend money - they would get something out of the barn or attic, strip and refinish it. At the age of eight or nine I was exposed to wood refinishing by my mother. She would strip wooden items, partly…

The SPORTSTER look of the yacht oozes power and ATTITUDE The 45-metre Amore Mio is not just a compact version of the large sporty superyachts Heesen has been delivering recently. The Dutch yard was breaking new ground in the 1980s with its unheard-of superyacht speeds, but it can’t be accused of having rested on its laurels since then. Amore Mio is every inch a 2016 yacht, with innovations from entertainment to safety systems. The exterior lines are by Frank Laupman at Omega, and the hint of the axe bow coupled with the sportster look oozes power and attitude. Her captain Tripp Hock was also her build captain, and is smitten with the finished product: "I’ve done four builds at Heesen and this is my favourite so far. She’s a cool,…

“It’s IMPRESSIVE when owners strive for something innovative” On a Friday afternoon in his London office, Jamie Edmiston, chief executive of Edmiston, is recounting his past ten days of travel: eight different cities in six different countries. "One of my daughters asked me recently, ‘Daddy, do you work at Heathrow?’ You have to work hard to be successful in this business. You need to be prepared to be on the go seven days a week. It’s not ideal at times as it has an impact on the family, but it’s what you have to do. If you are awake, you’re working.” This has been the pattern since he returned to the business in 2014. Jamie’s time is spent between Edmiston’s Monaco and London offices, although given that his role is…

 The Bellot Strait is a 20-mile-long, mile-wide shallow and winding canyon separating Somerset Island from the northernmost part of North America. It’s an alarming leg of the Northwest Passage, where the changeable current can rip through at up to eight knots, hurtling down ice on anyone crazy enough to be there. If National Geographic ever produce a series called ‘Northwest Passage Nightmares’, it could do worse than start here. And yet, at one end of the strait, sat Latitude , a 45-metre steel and aluminium Vripack, with Captain Sean Meagher weighing up the options. He needed to take a look in the tender at what was up ahead, so off he went, along with the yacht’s owner Anil Thadani, Anil’s cousin Ravi and son-in-law Lappo, and wildlife photographer John Issac.…
