5 DESIGNERS COMMENTS CLAUDIO MALETTO SAPHIRE is the most unique concept on the market and its potential is enormous. Target was to design a boat that can be manoeuvred by a family with small kids but at the same time also used by hard core sailors for regattas. It was very important for me to combine safety with speed since modern racing boats also bear quite some risk in strong winds. Flexibility for transport and slipping the boat was also a key element of the concept. The design language is modern and still timeless to grant a long lasting value for the boat. Easy to sail was the clear guideline to integrate all the innovative ideas and to create a boat that is unique on the market. The Italian designer Claudio Maletto from the studio Fontana Maletto in Como has been working for many years for the Italian Syndicates of the America s Cups, contributing, as a yacht designer, to the design and development of eleven famous Italian cuppers. FRANCESCO PELIZZA The step forward we made was to design a boat that with these features and without this massive study would have cost a fortune. She is extremely light, stiff and sound and we used the latest engineering instruments (CAD, FEA, CFD) with the aim of producing a sport boat at the price of a production boat. Advanced Mechanical Solutions was founded by Francesco Pelizza in AMS core business is the design and analysis of composite materials for nautical fields. ALESSANDRO CASTELLI «The family and racing combination requires a special sail plan with light and easy handling sails. The full batten square top mainsail in combination with the carbon mast and without any backstays is the ideal combination for fast sailing and easy handling. This style derives from the Americas Cuppers and modern catamarans. For classical family cruising and beginners I developed a "user friendly" less powerful mainsail. Alessandro Castelli was already involved in the first Swiss America s Cup Campain and his sail designs have won dozen s of championships around the globe. MAURO SCULLI From the beginning of this exciting adventure with SAPHIRE I have imagined its p o t e n t i a l c l i e n t v e r y demanding for all the aspects of the design, outside and inside. In my mind I see that client like the one who appreciates the lines of a sport car but also the comfort of a family transporter: two faces not so easy to put together. A hard job has been dedicated to give modern lines to the exterior, with some really new elements and details for a production boat of this dimension. Both, the interior and the deck layout have been developed under the dictate of light weight and functionality. Long studies had been done together with Claudio Maletto to integrate his well performance oriented thoughts to be combined with my view of a cheerful day onboard SAPHIRE. Mauro Sculli, chief architect of the StudioSculli, has been working both as yacht designer and project manager for approximately 30 years. BOGDAN SKORKIEWICZ From the very first moment I was enthusiastic about the unique concept idea of S A P H I R E. W e h a v e produced thousands of boats in the leisure industry but this one is really different. Thanks to our industrial processes, we are able to produce light weight family racing boats that fulfil the requirements of a one design class. Maximum allowed weight difference for SAPHIRE is 3% and we can guarantee this due to the fact that all our processes and production methods are standardized and certified. Thanks to our in-house quality department and our own transport company we can assure not only the product quality but also the delivery and after sales service. Bogdan Skorkiewicz is General Manager of Delphia Yachts in Poland.
