Cantieri di Pisa introduces first 56m model in new Saturno superyacht range

Italian yard Cantieri di Pisa has introduced the first model in its new Saturno range. Measuring 56 metres, the Saturno 56 will sit among four other yachts varying in length from 38 metres to the 90-metre flagship, known as the Super Saturno 90.

Exterior design has been completed in house and is characterised by a traditional stern, generous "ribbon windows" and striped detailing on the hull.

"This range has a classic layout that reprises Cantieri di Pisa’s traditional stylistic hallmarks but also satisfies demand from contemporary owners of all ages for spaces that alternate moments of relaxation and sport," explained the shipyard's chief designer, Antonio Luxardo.

Interior design is by Milan-based studio m2atelier , who have opted for a symmetrical layout and minimalist finishes – including coffered ceilings, three-dimensional wood features and mini spotlights – for a design inspired "by the beauty of Japanese aesthetics". Accommodation is across six cabins.

Other design highlights include a glass-bottomed swimming pool, a gym on the sundeck and a beach club connected to the main and upper decks by a transverse staircase.

The Saturno 56 will be powered by twin 1,600hp Caterpillar engines, with the shipyard also exploring the possibility of hybrid propulsion. An EHPH (Eco High Power Hull) displacement hull will enable long-range cruising and reduced consumption.

This follows the announcement that the shipyard's newly formed custom division had sold a 37.5-metre explorer yacht to a French buyer.

How to tension your yacht’s rig with wire or rod rigging

• August 28, 2024

Ivar Dedekam author of Illustrated Sail & Rig Tuning gives his guide on tensioning a yacht's wire or rod rigging

If you want to trim your rig correctly you should have some idea of the tension in the shrouds and stays, either by rules of thumb or a more exact method, such as this. Here, you measure the stretch of the wire as a percentage and then establish the tension as a percentage of the wire or rod’s breaking load.

You can either measure the stretch of all the wire or a part of it, e.g. 2m. Accuracy will improve with the sample length. Begin with a minimum tension in the wire.

Mark off a 2m length of the shroud on one side of the boat using the shroud terminal for reference. Measure the elastic extension (f) of the measured length as the rigging screws are alternately tightened, little by little. Stop when f = 3mm. (4mm on fractional rigs with aft swept spreaders).

Note that stretch of f = 1mm over a sample of 2m of the wire corresponds to 5% of breaking load independent of the wire diameter. For rod, an f = 1mm stretch over 2m corresponds to 7.5% of breaking load. Use a similar method to establish backstay tension. Remember that a different sample length will have a different stretch for the same load. Also remember that the stretch is always measured from hand tight wire/rod (minimum tension).

Mark up the shroud Mark up 2m of shroud using the terminal for reference…

Rod rigging is made of a straight, single strand. Wire rigging is made of many twisted strands. Normally rod rigging is 20% stronger than wire of the same diameter.

Wire has the advantage of an early warning of fatigue when a strand breaks. Fatigue in rod happens without any warning at all. It can be sudden and sometimes catastrophic.

Tensioning cap shrouds

When you have straightened the mast sideways and adjusted the rake, it is time to look at the cap shrouds. Tighten the cap shrouds to approximately 15% of breaking load. This corresponds to a stretch (f) of 3mm over a length of 200cm. On a fractional rig with aft swept spreaders the cap shrouds should be tensioned to 20% of the breaking load. This corresponds to a stretch of f = 4mm.

Measure the stretch…then measure the elastic extension when the rigging has been tightened.

To avoid excessive forestay sag upwind, the cap shrouds should be relatively highly tensioned. If 20% cap shroud tension is not sufficient to keep sag at an acceptable level, increase the tension to 25% of breaking load. Do not exceed this tension.

Slack rigging will produce shock loads that can cause rig failure and may even bring the mast down. Note that you will not be able to overtighten a wire of 40-50cm length with hand tools. The lower shrouds and intermediate shrouds should be quite loose at this stage.

If the mast has distinct bends you should try to straighten them by sight and hand tensioning.

Many yachtsmen intuitively tension their standing rigging and adjust it later when sailing has begun. This may lead to acceptable results but the methods described above, while taking some time, are more certain and reliable.
