On Monday 7 December around 200 movers and shakers in the design and product segments of the
superyacht industry attended the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, London, for the
launch organised by the Superyacht Events Agency, of the first edition of the SuperyachtDesign quarterly book, Q1.
The evening's main event began with a presentation from Martin H. Redmayne,
Chariman of The Yacht Report Group (TYRG), Justin Ratcliffe, SuperyachtDesign’s
Editor, Charlotte Kemp SuperyachtDesign’s Commercial Manager and John Mitchell,
Head of Digital Media at TYRG. Together they outlined the vision and
philosophy of this new multi-media platform before answering questions from the
audience. The book was presented to a hushedaudience, captivated as the first to see the brand
new hard-backed, quarterly publication.
A champagne
reception followed to celebrate the launch of SuperyachtDesign. This was an
excellent opportunity to gauge the initial reaction to the website and book. Following
the launch Justin said: "The response from leading designers was
enthusiastic and encouraging and they are committed to working with us in the
future. Last night’s presentation was confirmation we are on the right track." John supported this sentiment: “The
feedback has been tremendous tonight. The Group has endeavoured to produce good
quality work across the portfolio – strong facts supported by strong insight
and opinions – and, through our strong ties to the design world, will be
reporting on what matters most to them and their audience even more with this
new venture.”.
