Written by Zuzana Bednarova

The all-new 40-metre motor yacht FPB 130 represents the latest and the largest ever design unveiled by Steve Dashew . Boasting maximum reliability and minimum maintenance, superyacht FPB 130 concept reduces crew requirement, while expanding where, when, as well as how comfortably you can cruise.

We have asked Steve Dashew about the inspiration behind this design: “ As to the inspiration, the FPB 130 is simply an evolution from the four FPB designs that preceded her .”

In terms of a sea kindly efficient hull form, attention to detail, as well as systems engineering, super yacht FPB130 sets the bar even higher than the four FPB yachts that preceded her.

Launched last year, the Dashew FPB97 motor yacht Iceberg illustrates what is possible in a larger FPB form. She can reach an 11,8-knot cruising speed at 60 liters per hour from a range in excess of 4000 NM, has a six kW solar array, and her owners need only a couple as crew. Three FPB 78 yachts are currently in build, all for prior FPB owners.

As with all FPBs, the all-new FPB 130 yacht has been designed with a double bottom for maximum structural security and massive tankage.

Thanks to her twin 675 HP diesels, super yacht FPB 130 can achieve a top speed of 16,5 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots at 40% engine load. Shallow 1,65-metre draft, mixed up with the ability to dry out in areas of moderate tides, give this highly innovative vessel a unique cruising capability.

In response to our question as to what superyacht charter destinations would the new FPB 130 yacht suitable for, Steve Dashew replied:   “The answer is easy: where other charter yachts don’t go. Think Svalbard and the ice pack at 80 degrees north,  Greenland’s Disco Bay, or the South Georgia islands on the way to Antarctica . If you prefer warmer weather, then how about wreck diving on Keeling atoll in the Indian Ocean .”

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

dashew offshore yachts

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

dashew offshore yachts

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.

Sights of the Russian capital

On the territory of the largest city in Europe with a 9-century history, there are many interesting places and objects. Some of the best attractions of modern Moscow are:

  • The Kremlin and Red Square, with which it is worth starting to get acquainted with the city;
  • Arbat - the main tourist artery of Moscow;
  • The business center of the city with skyscrapers is Moscow City with viewing platforms, including a 360-degree circular view of the capital;
  • The Bolshoi Theater is one of the most significant in Russia and the world;
  • Tretyakov Gallery with the world's largest collection of Russian painting;
  • Ostankino TV Tower, the country's main television tower 540 m high with 2 viewing platforms - open type and glazed at different levels;
  • St. Basil's Cathedral (Cathedral of the Protection of the Holy Virgin);
  • The historical district of the capital is Kitay Gorod.

It is also worth visiting the river berths, beaches (in Rublevo, Strogino and Serebryany Bor) of the Moscow River, Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve, Moskarium Oceanography Center, Novodevichy Convent, Moscow Planetarium, Darwin Museum, Zaryadye Natural Landscape Park and Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy (VDNH).

The best restaurants in Moscow: Pushkin, Balzi rossi, Wine & Crab, Osteria della Piazza Bianca, White Rabbit, Björn, Northerners, Beluga, Lavkalavka and others.

Yachting in Moscow

You can leave your yacht parked in Moscow at the pier of one of the many yacht clubs on the banks of the Moscow River and the Khimki Reservoir - for example, on the territory of the Yacht Port “Estate Port” with 36 berths for vessels up to 15 m long or in CHALET RIVER CLUB yacht club on the border with the Moscow region with 57 berths for vessels up to 17 m long and with a draft of up to 1.7 m. If you are interested in selling yachts in Moscow , we recommend that you use the services of one of the trusted yacht brokers in the region, for example - PRESTIGE YACHTS, ULTRABOATS, IY C or WEST NAUTICAL.

Moscow City Guide

Moscow is a vibrant and bustling place to live and work. If you’re planning to move abroad and start anew then it isn’t a bad choice for the discerning expat.

A city storied in history, Moscow is full of stunning sights and architecture and there are a number of wonderfully tranquil neighbourhoods, filled with friendly locals and well kept parks. Since the demise of the communist empire Moscow has embraced the flashy side of capitalism and littered the shopping districts with well known western stores and luxurious designer boutiques. The streets of Moscow that were once bleak and desolate are now busy with life and energy, there are many market traders and street vendors selling a host of different wares. One of the downsides of moving to Moscow is that it has the dubious honour of being one of the most expensive cities in the world.

The weather in Russia is often described as iconic. The classically cold harsh winters eventually make way for a warmer summer season, there is little rain in Moscow but there is much snow, often starting around October and lasting all the way to spring. Another seasonal factor worth considering is the lack of daylight that Moscow receives in winter, some days only six hours are recorded.

Employment, Work Permits and Visas

Becoming an expat in Moscow is not without its difficulties as immigration laws are becoming tougher and tougher. You must apply for a visa and work permit before you reach Russian shores as it is extremely difficult to obtain these documents if you travel to Russia without them.

However, recent changes to the strict immigration laws have made life a little easier for foreign workers who are highly skilled. From 1 July 2010 highly qualified foreign professionals will be able to apply for special three year work permits. To qualify for this longer permit you must have key skills in a specialist field, and gain a contract of employment worth £43,000 per year or more.

It is not advisable to travel to Moscow with the intention of securing work once you get there. The majority of expats who journey to Russia have secured employment; or are sent there through their existing employers, as it is very hard for foreigners to source work once in Russia. In fact Russia actually has a yearly quota of work permits that can be given out via the Federal Migration Services. However, there is a large amount of corruption and patronage and these permits are often given out previous to the year in question.

If you work in construction or oil you may be able to gain special expat packages enabling you to work in Russia. The types of sector where expats are likely to be able to gain employment are management, engineering, IT and banking. A problem that arises for foreigners seeking employment in Russia is the fact that home-grown, English speaking Russians, will generally work for less than their expat counterparts. If you have been offered a job in Moscow then your prospective employer will most likely have applied for the permit on your behalf. Contact the Federal Migration Service for more information.

Business Culture

If you start working in Moscow you will notice that Russian business practices are very similar in essence to the western sensibilities you are already used to. Russian business folk are direct and do not put an emphasis on establishing personal relationships. Dress code is generally smart and you can make a good impression on new associates by delivering a good firm handshake and making strong eye contact. When ordering business cards it would be wise to have two sides printed, one in Russian and one in English.

Accommodation

Expats moving to Moscow may face potential difficulty finding somewhere to live. Rental prices in Moscow can be very expensive and lower priced apartments located in the industrial areas are hot commodities due to their cheaper rents. However, these cheaper apartments tend to be basic with often just one room. Many expats will find that it can take up to one month to find accommodation so you may wish to opt for one of the short term apartments that are on offer, which tend to charge by the night. If you are interested in purchasing a property in Moscow then once again you will find that prices are very high. There is a strong expat community in Moscow and many of these expats tend to flock towards the same areas, areas such as Patriarshiye Ponds and Chistye Prudy are both popular.

If you already hold a valid driving licence in your home country then upon relocating to Moscow you will be able to use this existing licence for a total of six months, however you will also need to submit a translated version of your licence, a valid medical certificate that cites good health and that you have no history of substance abuse or mental illness and also your passport. After submitting these documents you will have to take a driving exam, which is completely in Russian and does not allow the use of a translator. The test is made up of 20 questions that are pulled from a bank of 300 stock questions.

If this all sounds a bit daunting then take solace in the fact that the Moscow metro system is one of the most efficient and best transport systems in the world. Lavishly decorated with sculptures and mosaic art, 150 stations make up the metro network and not only is it fast and reliable, but it is also cheap. The metro runs until 1am.

There are also numerous buses and trams to help cart you around Moscow along with special passenger vans (essentially private buses) that actually follow bus routes. Independent, or private, taxis are also found on Moscow’s roads but be aware that as a foreigner you will most likely be charged a higher fare and, whilst mostly safe, these private cars may also be dangerous come nightfall, especially for women.

Healthcare can come with a hefty price tag and sometimes medical insurance will not be accepted. If you require emergency care then be aware that a lack of funding means that there are often delays to the service, also it is uncommon for the emergency telephone operators to speak any language other than Russian so be prepared for this potential barrier. A silver lining in this potentially lethal raincloud is the fact that there are a few international hospitals that do actually cater to foreigners living in Russia. Two examples of these are the American Medical Centre , and the European Medical Group . These facilities both have staff that are predominantly educated at western institutions and they will be able to speak in a variety of different languages, English included, to ensure there are no problems in describing your symptoms. Both of these facilities also have a wide range of medical services available, more so than the standard Russian hospitals.

The authorities of Moscow, indeed the whole of Russia, hold the importance of education in high regard and for this reason you will find that there are many schools to be found in Moscow. There are numerous English-language schools and also specific international schools. Some schools also offer more specialist teaching, focusing perhaps on just math, or foreign languages. Russian children partake in a compulsory eleven year programme of secondary education.

As per most popular expat destinations, there are a number of schools that actually stick to the English National Curriculum. An example of this is the English International School ; which has been operating for over 12 years, and the British International School .

As a UK expat you may not be well versed in the Russian language itself, so if you are thinking about learning Russian you may be interested in attending the language school at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, a popular choice for working expats. Here they offer intensive courses aimed at people who are completely new to Russian, focusing on important phrases and terms that will help you in your day-to-day life.

Entertainment and Lifestyle

Moscow is a truly beautiful city with a phenomenal amount of culture and history. When you first arrive in Moscow it may be worth your while to embark on one of the many city tours so that you can get an idea of the feel of the city, its attractions and prime locations. A city tour will not only show you around Moscow but also gives you a veritable history lesson and fills you in on all the social and economic factors that have helped build your new place of residence into the cosmopolitan hub that it is today.

Given its unique history it is no surprise that Moscow plays host to a wealth of wonderful museums. The Pushkin Museum is home to the second largest collection of fine European art in the world, showcasing the works of such artistic luminaries as Vincent Van Gogh, Matisse and Renoir.

As touched upon before, Russia is a very expensive place for expats to live, but a benefit is the comfort of western sensibilities, which means all the big brands you are used to will have stores in Moscow to cater for your shopping needs. There are also many market places where you can sample a slightly more authentic Russian shopping experience.

Moscow is a city that provides a wide variety of entertainment during both the day and night. There are a huge amount of swanky bars and lively nightclubs waiting for you to step past their bouncers and relax after a hard week’s work with the aid of some authentic Russian vodka.

FPB 78, COCHISE

Dashew Offshore, FPB 78 Built 2016 / US$6,500,000, VAT paid EU

FPB 78, COCHISE 1 Main

Broker’s Comments

FPB 78, COCHISE is an astonishing motor yacht designed by Dashew Offshore for serious passage making and represents the very best of the qualities required for sustained operations in the harsh but beautiful world of high latitude cruising. She is part of their FPB (Functional Power Boat Series). The FPB 78 #1 was designed by Steve and Linda Dashew for their personal use to allow crew and/or longer term friends and family aboard. Three of these yachts were built with the other two going to very experienced yachtsmen, both of whom were former FPB owners. Although similar in appearance to other FPBs the FPB 78s are a step up the evolutionary ladder.

They are optimized for going upwind, yet still surf readily. These three FPB 78s have proven the Dashew’s design concept by making a series of remarkable voyages look easy. COCHISE steamed 7,000 nautical miles from Fiji to Panama, with one fuel stop, averaging ten knots against the prevailing trade winds and currents. The second and third FPB 78s have also crossed the Pacific backwards, and then voyaged to Antarctica. Built to a high standard by Circa Marine in New Zealand – she was beautifully maintained by the Dashews and has many refinements to make it easier for the Dashews to handle her 2 handed.

Her current owners shipped her from the USA to Europe and after a Northern Waters cruise, COCHISE was positioned in the UK at Berthon for a refit to fit her for an intended world cruise as a family with a full time crew of 2. This refit is now completed and she is offered with the benefit of a massive and thoughtful spend. Throughout this programme her captain, who was also aboard the yacht in the Dashew’s ownership, has overseen this programme. The work carried out is far too extensive to list here so there is a refit document which details these works available on request. Some of the key areas are as follows –

  • Full upgrade of all navigational instrumentation.
  • New twin cabin with en-suite forward of the owners’ stateroom with a reworked forepeak.
  • New crew accommodation aft with crew mess, shower and heads compartment and double berth.
  • Redesigned matrix deck with FlexiTeek, new seating area, wet bar, new helm station and an extension aft to provide a large alfresco seating area with bimini.
  • Fitting of Lithium Ion batteries and upgrade of all charging systems.
  • Full service of all systems.
  • New smart saloon table.
  • Modification to the solar array.

COCHISE is now in perfect condition and ready to make for any ocean. Sadly her owners’ plans have changed and hence she is being offered for sale. She provides a unique opportunity for fast, safe and very comfortable blue water cruising without compromise.

Note: The photographs aboard COCHISE are included in the sale and were all taken by Steve Dashew.

Nice to Meet You – Crew of FPB 78-01 (COCHISE)

Owner’s Comments

We were looking for something that could be handled by a couple, but could also be crewed if needed. Safety was a major factor and something we didn’t want to compromise on. Also, we didn’t want to be limited in our destinations, and so the draft combined with range capacity meant essentially that with COCHISE everywhere was open to us.

The planned route was to leave from the Baltic, head down to the Canaries, across the Atlantic to the Caribbean for the winter, then through the Canal and up to Alaska for some fishing the following summer. Then down to the Galapagos and eventually across the South Pacific. Spend some time in New Zealand and Australia before crossing the Southern Ocean.

The most important part of COCHISE’s recent refit was the Matrix deck where we have increased the relaxing exterior space. Also key is the expansion of the battery capacity which allows more time at anchor without running the generator.

The 360° sonar up forward is not just for ice and coral, but great for finding fish as it is often used by commercial fisherman. The new Furuno head unit on the swim platform is also very helpful for being able to see what is below you by using the WASSP transducer.

COCHISE is light and airy and incredibly easy to relax on. Confidence in her systems and build mean that there is much less to be worried about.
