A general overview of the motor yachtThe exterior of Remember When has a precise finish produced using AwlGrip paints,which add a coherent finishing touch to the pleasing aesthetics of a motor yachtdesigned using extremely advanced procedures and built with highly technologicalprocesses. As a result of its careful design and construction in composite material, theboat has a gross tonnage value below 500 GT: for a yacht of this length and size,remaining below this limit is especially significant as this element is currently anincreasingly decisive part of the specific commercial evaluation within the overallmanagement profile of a motor yacht. Christensen Shipyards have worked carefullyto perfect Remember When in every respect, completing its every feature withuncompromising building excellence of the highest quality.The best materials and ideal components for a vessel in this category have been usedso that it can be sailed in total tranquillity and complete security. With its exteriordesign, devised as usual by Christensen Shipyards’ in-house team, the aestheticimage of Remember When is that of an elegant motor yacht with classic shapes andmodern lines. The hull has dynamic, soaring lines, harmoniously melded with theexternal decks of the superstructure, giving the motor yacht a sporty appearancewhile simultaneously emanating a sense of solid grandeur.Remember When’s spacious interior layout accommodates up to 12 / 14 passengersin four large guest staterooms and the vast VIP suite, as well as the magnificentOwner’s suite. It also accommodates up to 9 / 10 crew in four comfortable crewcabins and a comfortable captain’s cabin. On board Remember When, the Ownerand his guests enjoy complete privacy, partly thanks to the separate accommodationand accessways for the crew that have been designed to allow them to workefficiently without intruding, even accidentally.The outstanding design means that the Owner and his guests have very large interiorspaces available to them and similarly large external areas, thanks to a carefullydesigned layout across all four decks of the motor yacht.

The particularly warm andwelcoming fittings are imbued

throughout with a decidedlyelegant feel and engender an

extremely relaxing atmosphere.

The luxurious beauty of the interiors is reminiscent of a mansion house and has anoble formal image with a sophisticated, clearly classical inspiration. Nonetheless,by using modern furniture and decorative elements from various periods in the pastcentury, the classic inspiration of the overall look has been exquisitely interpreted ina contemporary way, without strain and in total harmony. Remember When’sfurnishings are particularly warm and welcoming, imbued with utterly refinedelegance throughout and pervaded by an extremely relaxing atmosphere.At the Owner’s specific request, Remember When’s interiors were created as a new,updated version of the interiors made for Rosatti’s previous motor yacht, Nice ‘N’Easy. Remember When’s interiors are characterised by extensive use of high-glossBlack Walnut wood for both the wall coverings and the fixed furniture. Both thefurnishings and the decoration are based on a sophisticated, sober and serene style

with a coherent, balanced arrangement, using precious materials such as the varietiesof marble used in virtuoso inlays. The impeccable level of quality and perfectfinishing are also clearly apparent in Remember When’s luxurious, exclusiveinteriors, with attention to the tiniest detail of the woodwork and stonework,unequivocally showing the huge experience and masterly skills of ChristensenShipyards’ in-house staff. On the other hand, every element of Remember When’sfittings is completely state-of-the-art, not just in terms of production of thefurnishings but also in terms of the technical and technological equipment.To ensure that the Owner and guests always enjoy the best possible conditions whenstaying on the motor yacht, there is an air conditioning plant by CruiseAir withclimatic worldwide cruising capability, which provides climate control not only forthe interiors, but also for the main external areas on the aft decks. ➢
