Inside Pegasus, the First 3D Printed Superyacht

The first 3D printed superyacht in history is a solar-electric hydrogen hybrid with zero emissions.

By Bea Isaacson

In an exciting world first, the Pegasus superyacht has been successfully 3D printed by Jozeph Forakis. Constructed to be ‘virtually invisible’ both visually and environmentally, the design company is evidently prioritizing sustainability, with the first 3D-printed superyacht also being a solar-electric hydrogen hybrid and zero emissions.

Robotic 3D printing was used to create the mesh framework for integrating both the superyacht’s hull and superstructure. In what will set the industry precedent, the structure is phenomenally strong and lightweight, all whilst using considerably less energy, material, space and waste compared to conventional means of construction.

A bastion of innovation in his industry, Forakis has been at the helm of some of the world’s most exciting product designs over the past few decades. Previous design concepts of his include the award-winning Logitech Cordless Mousman Pro, which transformed the computer mouse design, and the Havana lamp, which is now included in the permanent collection of New York City’s Museum of Modern Art.

“Now is the time for courageous leaps towards our collective sustainable future,” Joseph Forakis said of Pegasus. “Pegasus is a bold but achievable vision for the near future of the superyacht industry, where man and machine live in harmony with nature, rather than compromising it.”

Coming in at 288 ft, the exterior design of Pegasus features a ‘wings’ structure, in which the multi-tiered superstructure includes mirrored glass that reflects the sky and sea of the superyacht’s surroundings.

The glass powers electrolyzers that extract H2 from seawater through its transparent solar panels. Fuel cells subsequently convert H2 to electricity, which is stored in batteries for powering azimuth pods and hotel systems.

The interior of the 3D-printed superyacht is centered around a hydroponic garden monument designed to honor nature. Named the ‘Tree of Life’, the nucleus of the garden provides fresh food and air purification. Its base can be found in a reflecting pool on the lower deck and will extend upwards to all four levels of the ship.

Guest lounges are spaciously designed to also evoke nature, with living greenery and copious daylight streaming inside the superyacht. Also featured is a pool club with open balconies that can transform into a helipad, and an open beach club located at the aft of the ship.

“At Jozeph Forakis design, our experience designing across many industries gives us unique exposure and perspective to various new technology and innovation verticals,” Forakis continued.

“The aimed added value here is the design vision that guides the skilled selection, research, development, and transfer of several critical technologies from disparate industries… to create a unique composition that helps fulfill that vision as a harmonious, original design.”

Motor Yacht

The 52.25 metre (171’5”) custom-built Pegasus (ex White Rabbit) yacht was launched in 1995 by Dutch shipyard Feadship and features a sophisticated exterior style by De Voogt Naval Architects, the in-house design studio who were also responsible for the naval architecture and layout on board; creating a complete package of comfortable living.

The Winch Design interior flows through the layout offering ample accommodation for 12 guests in both style and comfort. Pegasus, built with steel hull and aluminium superstructure, is an immaculately maintained, stable, superyacht with a highly-skilled staff of 11 yacht crew adding the dimension of unrivalled service for those on board.

Refitted to an impeccable standard in 2009, the exterior reflects the elegance on board, offering distinctive Feadship style wrapped around large volumes thanks to a beam of 9.30 metres (30’6”). Underway, guests can enjoy al-fresco dining and relaxation on the sun deck across the huge exterior spaces as well as true day-to-day comfort within for longer crossings. Capable of travelling at a top speed of 18.30 knots with a cruising speed of 16 knots in complete comfort in all weather conditions, Pegasus can take those on board across ranges of 5000 nautical miles with low noise and vibration and total seakeeping ability.

PEGASUS Enquiry

Dear Josh Our trip on Pegasus was implacable, everything was perfect. The staff were more than hospitable as they made sure that we were satisfied and happy. And when I say “happy” I mean it’s a vacation we will never forget. We will never forget the jokes that Graham and Alla used to say, the Arabic breakfast Alla prepared for us, the Virgin Mary (extra spicy) drink Graham prepared for us every single day. Definitely activities and games were the major thing we used to do - jet ski , kayak and all the other sports we did and for the first time I water skied  We even had the chance to rent motor bikes, quad bikes, for the whole family and toke a tour around the island, an activity only available in Greece. From Athens to Bodrum, we visited Greek and Turkish island. The captain specifically was very flexible, he didn’t mind changing the route of our trip at any time. It was very interesting to see the difference between the Greek and Turkish islands, very different but very similar at the same time. Last but not least, the food, and I’m sure you know how important this to us. We found another excellent chef. And for the chef I say “Thanks for all the meals you prepared”. We call this trip “family bonding trip” and it’s very important that all the family members enjoy the trip, and spend quality time together. Being in Pegasus gave us the opportunity to concentrate on one thing, how to make the best of the trip and how to enjoy our time. Thanks to everyone. Charter on PEGASUS, 52m Feadship in August.

Judge sets $1.5 million bond for woman charged in Monroe County boat club crash

A judge on Tuesday set a $1.5 million bond for a Newport woman charged with eight crimes related to the fatal crash at the Swan Boat Club in Monroe County.

Marshella Chidester stared forward blankly in Monroe County’s district court as Raquel Smouthers, in sobs, recalled the moment she told her sister Mariah Dodds in the hospital that Dodds’ two young children were killed. 

“I had to be the one to tell my sister her babies were gone when they removed her ventilator yesterday. She said: ‘How am I supposed to live without my babies?’ “ Smouthers said in comments permitted by the judge.

Chidester, 66, of Newport, is accused of driving drunk and plowing her SUV into a birthday party Saturday at the club in Newport. Chidester’s lawyer, Bill Colovos, argued that his client suffered seizures in her legs and only had one glass of wine that day. 

Dodds and three of her children were attending the party. Two of Dodds' children, 8-year-old Alanah Phillips and 4-year-old Zayn Phillips, were killed, and over a dozen other people were injured. Dodds and her 11-year-old son survived, but are still hospitalized. Both of the boy's legs and some ribs are broken and his skull is fractured.

In court, Chidester continued to look straight ahead as she sat in her striped jumpsuit and orange slippers, her right arm in a cast. She did not react when Judge Christian Horkey read the charges against her aloud: two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing death and four counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing serious injuries.

Monroe County Prosecutor Jeffery Yorkey asked for a $1.5 million cash bond, pointing to a history of "severe substance abuse" allegedly corroborated by friends and family of Chidester. Judge Horkey agreed to the bond.

Chidester’s arraignment on Tuesday was filled with tense moments as even more members of Dodds’ family and community members, some of whom attended the court hearing virtually on the web, interrupted Colovos, as he spoke on Chidester's behalf.  

Colovos compared the high bond to burning his client at the stake “by just craziness” and “crazy words.”

Horkey also ordered bond conditions should Chidester post bond, including alcohol testing, a tether, and she would be prohibited from drinking or driving. 

Chidester isn’t a monster, Colovos said. She lived a quiet, retired life with her husband right down the road from the club, he said.

Colovos’ theory, he argues, was that Chidester was invited to the birthday party that day and had a seizure on the way to the party. Chidester doesn’t remember what happened and “feels horrible,” he said. He noted that his client has a clean criminal record and no traffic violations. Colovos said they are waiting for tests to determine her blood alcohol levels.

Dodds’ loved ones and community members interrupted Colovos with statements, including “she was drunk.”

The children’s grandmother, Kathy Phillips, spoke as well.

“She took my grandbabies from us,” Phillips said. "She made that choice to go in that car, and she chose to drink and drive.”

The family's lives are destroyed, Smouthers said.

"Nobody should ever have to go to a birthday party thinking that they're gonna die," Smouthers said, who saw her deceased niece and nephew the last moment before the car was removed.

"It's a horrible, dramatic thing. I cannot close my eyes at night without seeing the babies and what they look like," she said.

Chidester had been an officer of the boat club, acting as a commodore for the group. Her mother was a charter member of the club, according to the mother's 2006 obituary. Chidester worked at DTE as a manager at Fermi 2, according to her LinkedIn page and the Monroe News. A spokesperson for the utility said she left that job nine years ago.

Childester’s next court appearances are scheduled for a probable cause conference April 30 and a preliminary examination on May 6.

Zayne, Alanah remembered

Hurt and pain reverberated throughout Horkey’s small Monroe County courtroom. For Nicholas Phillips, the deceased children’s uncle, “there is no justifying what she did to my family,” he said in court via video, referring to Chidester.

Alanah used to watch her dad play basketball, "but now that little girl is not gonna be able to go see it.”

And the child’s father is at the hospital praying that his older son makes it through, Phillips said.

“And he’s still gotta tell his son that he lost his sister and brother. How is that right or how is that even fair? How is it even justified?” Phillips said.

Zayn was about to turn 5.

“We were supposed to be planning a birthday party for Zayn, not a funeral,” Smouthers had said in court. Her own birthday was a few days prior and "the babies were just at my house."

Smouthers said her niece Alanah had "flawless curly hair" and loved to dance. Her nephew, Zayn hated how Smouthers' truck was always dirty, so she cleaned it just for him.

Zayn loved cracking jokes, Smouthers said. Eminem was his idol.

Lawsuit filed against Chidester, bar

On Monday, Dodds and her 11-year-old son, identified as “J.P.” filed a lawsuit against Chidester and Verna’s Tavern, where Chidester was allegedly seen drinking prior to the tragedy, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit accuses Chidester of gross negligence.

A witness described to the Free Press hearing a loud crash and the screams of children and adults.

"Can you imagine anything worse than that as a human being, as a parent?" said Jon Marko, one of Dodds' attorneys.

The lawsuit argues that Verna's Tavern is also liable. The bar allegedly sold Chidester alcohol while she was visibly intoxicated, according to the lawsuit, and she continued drinking until she left the bar and ultimately crashed.Verna's Tavern should have stopped selling Chidester alcohol and should have provided alternate transportation to her home, the lawsuit argues.

A spokesperson for the bar, and Chidester’s attorney, maintains she only had one glass of wine. An attorney for the bar couldn’t be reached Tuesday.

Monroe Co. woman charged with murder in boat club crash that 'took those babies from us'

Monroe — Distraught relatives of two young siblings killed by an alleged drunken driver at a birthday party at a boat club lashed out at the suspect Tuesday in a Monroe County courtroom, accusing her of taking "those babies from us," while the woman's attorney suggested she suffered from a seizure that contributed to Saturday's crash.

Marshella Chidester, 66, showed little emotion as the aunt of the two children who were killed, Lana Phillips, 8, and Zayn Phillips, 4, addressed the court before Chidester's bond was set.

“She chose to drink and those were my grandbabies. She made the choice to get in that car, and she chose to drink and drive, and she took those babies from us,” grandmother Kathy Phillips said.

Chidester, a former commodore of the Swan Boat Club in Berlin Township where the crash took place, was formally charged in Monroe's 1st District Court with two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of operating under the influence of alcohol causing death and four counts of operating under the influence of alcohol causing serious injury. She faces up to life in prison if she is convicted.

At her arraignment, Chidester limped into the courtroom with her right arm in a splint.

In an unusual move during the arraignment, District Judge Christian Horkey allowed relatives of the crash victims to address the court in person and via Zoom before setting bail at $1.5 million for Chidester. Some blared out comments via Zoom.

Bill Colovos, Chidester's attorney, said his client believes she had a seizure at the wheel Saturday and said she does not remember entering the parking lot of the boat club or anything that happened leading up to the crash. He said she was invited to the birthday party by the person hosting it.

"She was meeting her husband at the birthday party at the boat club … and all of a sudden, she said 'I blacked out, I remember nothing,'" Colovos said Tuesday evening.

Colovos said Chidester has a history of epileptic-type seizures in her legs that result in paralysis, including one last fall in which she blacked out. Chidester has since been treated for seizures, Colovos said, and has not had any since she was put on medication last year until Saturday.

Colovos said Chidester was barred by her doctor from driving for six months. The attorney said in court Tuesday that she was put on medication in November, which would have made her ineligible to drive until next month. Colovos told The Detroit News in a follow-up conversation that treatments began Oct. 1, when the original blackout episode occurred.

Colovos didn't specify a name for her condition in court but told The News Tuesday evening that Chidester was treated for neuropathy — a condition in which the peripheral nerves to the feet are damaged, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. After the diagnosis, Chidester's doctor put her on medication and didn't allow her to drive until the end of March, Colovos said.

The biggest cause of neuropathy is diabetes, according to the APMA. Other causes include alcoholism, arthritis, heredity and advanced age, according to the medical group's website.

Monroe County Prosecutor Jeffrey Yorkey said there was no evidence Chidester had a seizure the day of the crash.

A “very long investigation,” including a breath test, indicated she was significantly over the legal limit of 0.08. He did not say what Chidester's blood alcohol content was but said she admitted to drinking. 

Yorkey requested that Horkey, the judge, set Chidester’s bond at $1.5 million, noting that friends and family told investigators she has a “very severe substance abuse issue.”

Colovos said they do not have the results back from the blood alcohol test yet, and the preliminary breath test Chidester took on the scene is not admissible in court because it's often inaccurate.

Colovos also said earlier Tuesday that Chidester had no record and was retired, living a “peaceful life.”

“In 60 years on this earth, she’s never had any traffic involvement. She’s never had any law enforcement involvement,” Colovos said. “It’s horrible what happened, absolutely horrible … but some things we don’t have control over.”

Someone on the Zoom feed interjected as the attorney was speaking in court and said, “She shouldn’t have been drinking.”

Raquel Smouthers, Lana and Zayn's aunt, also said Tuesday that even if Chidester was on medication or had medical issues, she should not have been driving.

“Nobody should ever have to go to a birthday party thinking they’re going to die,” Smouthers said.

She added that the two deceased children couldn't have an open-casket funeral because of the injuries they suffered.

"I cannot close my eyes at night without seeing them babies and what they look like," Smouthers said between sobs.

Lana and Zayn's older brother and mother were in critical condition after the crash, according to a GoFundMe set up by the children's aunt, Diane Harrington. Their mother, Mariah Dodds, filed a lawsuit Monday against Chidester and the bar police said she was drinking at before the crash.

Chidester crashed into the Swan Boat Club in the 6000 block of Brancheau in Berlin Township at about 3 p.m. Saturday, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. Her vehicle landed 25 feet into the building, Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough said.

“The scene was described by first responders as extremely chaotic, with high levels of emotions of those directly involved and those who witnessed this horrific incident,” Goodnough said at a Saturday night press conference.

The party was being held for a 3-year-old at the club, said Detroit attorney Jon Markos, who is representing Dodds.

The boat club was closed Sunday, according to its website and Facebook page, and is usually closed Monday and Tuesday.

"Our deepest sympathy goes out to this family and everyone else that was involved," said the boat club's post. "That family has asked us to post their go fund me to help with the funeral arrangements for the two children."

Brazilian authorities bury deceased migrants who drifted in African boat to the Amazon

BELEM, Brazil — The bodies of nine migrants found on an African boat off the northern coast of Brazil’s Amazon region were buried Thursday with a solemn ceremony in the Para state capital of Belem.

Fishermen off the coast of Para found the boat adrift on April 13, carrying the bodies that were already decomposing. Brazilian officials later said documents found in the vessel indicated the victims were migrants from Mali and Mauritania, and that the boat had departed the latter country after Jan. 17.

The deceased were buried in a secular ceremony organized by a number of groups involved in their recovery, such as the U.N. Refugee Agency, the Red Cross and the International Organization for Migration , as well as Brazilian police, navy and civil defense agencies.

A tropical rain fell as their coffins were lowered into graves dug into the earth and those present watched in respectful silence.

Their roughly 12-meter (39-foot) boat was carrying 25 raincoats and 27 mobile phones, suggesting the original number of passengers was significantly higher. This also implies that people of other nationalities may have been among the deceased, local officials have said.

It was a rustic blue-and-white fiberglass boat that, when found, had neither motor, tiller nor rudder. Its canoe shape is similar to Mauritanian fishing boats often used by migrants fleeing West Africa and aiming to enter the European Union via Spain’s Canary Islands.

An Associated Press investigation published last year revealed that in 2021 at least seven boats from northwest Africa were found in the Caribbean and Brazil. All carried dead bodies, like the vessel found in Para.

So far, none of the victims have been identified. Authorities said the manner of their burial would allow for subsequent exhumations in case families of the deceased were located and wished to transfer the bodies back to their home countries.

Brazil’s criminology institute in the capital Brasilia is carrying out forensic examinations of the remains, and the Federal Police say they are in contact with Interpol and foreign organizations to provide eventual results.

This year the number of people attempting the crossing from the northwest coast of Africa to the EU has seen a 500% spike, with the majority departing from Mauritania, according to Spain’s interior ministry. But it is a dangerous route with strong Atlantic winds, and boats that go off course can stay adrift for months and be swept away to distant destinations, often leading migrants to die of dehydration and malnutrition.

The reasons pushing people toward such boats are varied and intertwined: a lack of jobs and prospects of a better life, impacts of climate change, growing insecurity and political instability, among others.

More than 14,000 African migrants have reached the Canary Islands so far this year, according to the Spanish ministry. In February, the EU and Mauritania signed a 210 million euro ($225 million) deal aimed at cracking down on people smuggling and deterring migrant boats.

With hundreds more West African migrants reported missing, families in Mauritania have set up a commission to search for loved ones, and are anxiously awaiting information from Brazil.

Bachirou Saw of Mauritania buried one of his nephews earlier this year who had died during the arduous Atlantic crossing shortly after reaching the Spanish island of El Hierro. He’s still looking for another nephew, Kadija Saw, who departed in January and is nowhere to be found. He’s following news from Brazil closely.

Saw, who also has Spanish citizenship and immigrated to Europe by plane 30 years ago when it was easier to get a visa, said he’s been trying to convince young men not to emigrate by boat. He created a WhatsApp group to alert migrants to the perils of the ocean voyage and to share information with desperate relatives, and has counted at least 1,500 missing in the last six months from Mauritania, Mali and Senegal. While most of the migrants embarking to Europe are men, there is an increasing number of women getting aboard boats, too.

“I have their ID’s on my phone,” said Saw, who receives messages every day from families looking for their loved ones. Together with others, they’ve organized trips to Morocco to look inside prisons and morgues. Moroccan authorities often intercept migrants trying to reach Spain and detain them before deporting them. But Saw’s nephew wasn’t there either. He also visited the Canary Islands to check the morgues there.

Saw’s sister is desolate. “Every day she buys credit to listen to our audios, she lives for this, she doesn’t eat, she is thin, just thinking about her son,” Saw said. And she’s not alone.

“It’s very sad, half of the villages are dancing because their sons have arrived (in Spain),” he said, “but the other half cries because they’ve lost their sons in the ocean.”

Love the color and so comfortable!

Great daily shoe

teh2008 - Apr 22, 2024

Excellent shoe for daily wear. Medium cushion with good responsiveness and stability. It would be great if the material around the ankle is softer.

Love the improvements

AndrewF814222494 - Apr 21, 2024

The Pegasus 40 is much improved from the past few years. A lot better than the 36’s I bought last and I love them as much as the 29’s which were my favorite. The soles seem more comfortable, the laces are different and stay tied better and the lace holes aren’t those annoying stringy things anymore. Fantastic shoe. ...
