World is not Enough

Motor Yacht

The World is Not Enough - a Millennium 140 - is a luxury 42 metre superyacht that controls a staggering top speed of 70 knots. Conceptualised by Mulder Design, she is the brainchild of John Staluppi and John Rosatti and was built in 2005 by Millennium Superyachts.

The World is Not Enough holds a progressive dead-rise V hull giving the boat a form to cut through the water like a knife even in rough conditions.

The superyacht symbolises speed on the water. The goal was to design and build a 140 foot yacht that also maintained a high level of comfort at ultra-high speeds. The powerful superyacht also offers minimum noise levels, no vibration and a ride that is not only exhilarating but comfortable at cruising speeds in excess of 50 knots.

Capturing an aesthetic that cries pure speed, the aluminium superstructure is a lightweight alloy that gives an enhanced aerodynamic shape and stability at top speeds. Superyacht The World is Not Enough is powered by two Paxman 18-Cylinder main diesel engines offering a combined 10,870hp with an extra 9,200hp added by twin TF80 Lycombing turbines. All this power runs at 15,000gal fuel capacity and can journey to around 3,800 nautical miles.

Millennium 140

  • By John Wooldridge
  • Updated: October 4, 2007

world is not enough yacht

Luxury and performance coexist on /The World Is Not Enough/ thanks to an alustar aluminum hull that saves weight.

Lolling about the plush skylounge of The World Is Not Enough talking with John Staluppi about speed in megayachts, I am almost persuaded that, for him, the main attraction is one of convenience. He cites several examples of passages you could make in a day that would otherwise require an overnight effort on the part of your crew, not to mention the inconvenience inflicted on those of your land-based guests who might be meeting the boat at the next destination.

I found myself nodding along. Yes. Better to flog those 20,600 horses than risk a night at the Me-Too Motel.

But I wasn’t disagreeing, either. There’s a mindset that comes along with the great experimenters, the patrons of excellence, that should not be tallied with a pocket calculator and P&L. The Pope may have grumped about Michelangelo’s invoices, but he didn’t replace him, either. In Staluppi’s case, the obsession with superyacht speed justifies all.

So where did it start? Wondering which influence came first, I asked him about his early yachting experiences: Was it luxury or performance? And he told me about a Cigarette he owned and loved to drive, and about racing his long-time friend and business associate, John Rosatti, out to the Jersey canyons. An experience most of us can understand, akin to seeing who can get from the high school parking lot to the burger hut fastest.

It doesn’t matter what he’s driving, it’s got to be fast and he’s got to be first. The realization explained a lot. It almost explained the Millennium 140, a 165-ton sea-skimming missile finished and equipped to yacht standards that has already achieved speeds in excess of 65 knots during its sea trials. That’s epic speed for a megayacht, the kind that collapses distance and time into Day-Runner terms. Her four engines, with that combined output of 20,600 horses, can drive this yacht at 45 knots without straining-indeed, when loafing along at 50 percent load-as they did during the photo session for this story.

Yet this is not enough for Staluppi. The design brief is for 70 knots and so the fine-tuning is far from done. There is no mistaking the resolve in Staluppi’s eyes. Not for nothing is this yacht named The World Is Not Enough.

Blame it on the King of Spain. When Palmer Johnson launched the 100-foot, Don Shead-designed Fortuna in 1979 for Juan Carlos, the new royal yacht established a 52-knot record that lit the imagination of megayacht builders around the world. Prior to that time, top speeds in the 20-plus knot range were typical. The record stood until 1988, when it was eclipsed by Octopussy, a 132-foot Diaship/Heesen-built design from the mind and drawing board of Dutch naval architect Frank Mulder for Staluppi and Rosatti. With triple 3,500 hp MTU diesels and KaMeWa 63 water jets, it topped out at 53.17 knots, a speed that would stand until June, 1992, when Mulder’s next design, Moonraker, would turn in a top speed of 66.7 knots. Fast yacht development seemed to have peaked at that point, until Juan Carlos launched Fortuna III in 2000, and was credited with a 68-knot record. And the flag was dropped.

The World Is Not Enough is a Millennium 140 trideck luxury high-speed yacht with accommodations for 10, designed by Frank Mulder for Staluppi and Rosatti and built at their own yard in Hardinveld-Glessendam, Holland under the auspices of their custom yacht company, Millennium Super Yachts, founded in 1998. The hull shape is a derivative of previous fast yacht designs from Mulder, whose experience designing high-speed patrol boats in the early 1980s served him well in this arena. Hitting weight, speed, and stability targets is paramount to Mulder and his design staff, and these were established early in the process to guide all design and building phases.

The design brief describes the hull as a modified full planing shape with a deep-V entry. Stabilization and trim are provided by oversized trim tabs, large area sections of the afterbody, driven by a Quantum hydraulic control system. These tabs also double as stabilizers at low to moderate speeds. The welded hull is fabricated with Alustar, an advanced aluminum from Europe’s Corus Group, selected for its strength and its weight savings-20 percent less than typical marine aluminum alloys.

Propulsion is a unique combination of twin 5,300 hp Paxman diesel engines as outside, or “wing” engines and twin 5,000 hp Lycoming jet turbines linked through a single custom gearbox, which function as booster rockets. The wing engines are linked to steerable Lips water jets, while the turbines are connected to a single, fixed Lips water jet with no reverse capacity. This configuration allows the yacht to operate on a single diesel for efficiency and slow-speed, long-distance passages, or on both diesels for typical operating situations and speeds to approximately 40 knots. The captain also has the option of adding output from one turbine, increasing speeds to the mid-50-knot range, or spooling up both turbines to achieve top speeds of 70 knots or more when conditions are optimal. Range is predicated on speed, ranging from 750 to 3,000 nautical miles.

Automatic sliding doors part as you enter the saloon from the aft deck, where a marble foyer with a compass rose inlay and a pair of Erté statuettes on pedestals set the décor level at Art Nouveau, as interpreted for the modern age by well-known London designer Evan Marshall. Dark walnut burl wood is used extensively, combined with contrasting light panels of fabric and carpet, all selectively lit by fiber-optic spots or large side windows. Twin armchairs and custom couches flank a central cocktail table, creating a feeling of formality and luxury, emphasized by an ornate bulkhead that sets them apart from the forward dining area. A home-theater system is housed in the side lockers.

A custom walnut burl table with gold and mahogany serpentine rope inlays anchors the large dining area, and is surrounded by 10 large armchairs for guests. A marble-topped sideboard occupies the forward face of the bulkhead separating the dining and saloon areas, along with a matching marble-topped brace along the sides. Versace crystal and china adorn the table, along with International Silver sterling, for formal meals. Like the foyer leading to the saloon, the dining room also displays a stunning marble floor-quite a feat in a yacht meant to operate at 70-plus knots. John Schmiemann, Staluppi’s project manager and my expert guide during a walk-through of the yacht, told me that in every instance where substantial materials are present, they are bonded to lightweight yet rigid substrates like Nomex honeycomb. That’s how luxury and performance coexist aboard The World Is Not Enough.

Leaving the dining room, you can go forward along the starboard side walkway, past the galley to the master stateroom. Or you can use the spiral stairway with its cantilevered carbon fiber steps and gold-accented stainless steel handrail to go up to the skylounge and pilothouse bridge-descend to the accommodations on the lower deck. A quick peek in the galley reveals a large, U-shaped food preparation area replete with storage cabinets, stainless steel appliances and backsplashes, Amtico tile floors and granite countertops. Two Miele ovens, a six-burner Miele range with commercial hood, and Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers are key features. Cream-colored Ultraleather upholstery graces the adjacent country kitchen with seating for eight.

The master stateroom is not quite maximum beam width, with a king-size bed on the centerline facing the aft bulkhead and home-theater system. The desk to starboard provides generous space to handle business affairs on the fly, and there’s a comfortable settee to port next to the vanity. Doors on either side of the headboard lead forward through large walk-in closets, which in turn lead to the master bath. Honey-colored onyx floors and countertops provide the visual drama, with separate water closets forward on either side of the marble Jacuzzi tub.

Guest accommodations on the lower deck all radiate off a central foyer, which is equipped with lockers containing a linen closet, a Miele washer and dryer, even a refrigerator for drinks. Two mirror-image staterooms forward feature twin beds and private access to en suite bathrooms. The VIP stateroom and a double guest stateroom are located in the widest portion of the hull. Both feature three massive windows, which should provide wonderful views of surrounding waters. Both also have individual entertainment systems linked to the same satellite TV system that serves other centers aboard. Marble floors are found in all bathrooms on this level, and the décor continues in the rich walnut burl and light fabrics theme of the main deck.

At the top of the spiral stairs, the skylounge is blessed with numerous windows for a marvelously elevated view. A curved full-service bar with backlit glass top is very well-equipped with a 24-bottle wine cooler, refrigerator, icemaker, and espresso machine. Erté flutes in a dedicated cabinet invite spontaneous celebration. A home-theater system is concealed in the aft bulkhead cabinetry, while a 42-inch plasma TV on a lift stores in the portside cabinet. A day head finished in black onyx is set to starboard; like all the other head compartments, it features a Rolex sink and Serdaneli fixtures.

Custom, double-wide Pompanette observer seats flank the central captain’s helm seat, which has operation controls set in the armrests. The forward pilothouse is dominated by a massive five-screen glass panel: an Electronic Charting Display and Information System (ECDIS), two radars of different ranges, closed circuit TV and a general navigation and operation screen. Behind the helm seats, there is seating for six guests on the leather settee behind a granite table. The settee, raised up two steps from the pilothouse deck level, gives guests and owners excellent views out forward and side windows.

Sundeck access is via a portside stairway from the skylounge aft deck. On the centerline far forward is a complete helm with three monitors and three custom Pompanette swivel chairs. Large settees both port and starboard provide seating for a crowd, while the Corian-topped full-service bar aft and to port can handle the needs of guests rendered dry-throated by the vessel’s speed.

As this issue goes to press, plans are under way to mount an assault on the speed record. Breaking it will be icing on the cake for John Staluppi, John Rosatti and Frank Mulder, but you have the feeling that won’t be the end of it. When your yacht is called The World Is Not Enough, there’s always another horizon.

Superyacht sinks latest: Investigators reveal where bodies were found as probe looks at 'crew's responsibility'

Italian officials revealed at a news conference there could be "a question of manslaughter" as they opened a shipwreck investigation and said the probe is also looking at the "crew's responsibility".

  • Eyewitness: Sombre scenes greet rescue teams as final body is brought ashore
  • Live reporting by Niamh Lynch

We're ending our live coverage for this evening but here is a recap of what we know:

  • Prosecutors have opened a manslaughter investigation into the Bayesian sinking;
  • Officials have revealed more details on their investigation and the difficult five-day rescue mission;
  • The six bodies found during the search in recent days were all in cabins on the left-hand - and highest - side of the ship. Five were found in the first cabin and the sixth was found in the third;
  • Prosecutors said the six passengers were most likely asleep when the boat sank;
  • The probe is now focusing on the crew and their responsibilities, with the captain set to undergo more questioning.

Monday 19 August

The Bayesian yacht, flying a British flag, sinks at around 5am local time when the area was hit by a tornado.

Fifteen people are rescued from the 56 metre vessel - including a mother and baby - but another seven remain missing.

One body, later confirmed to be the yacht's chef Recaldo Thomas, is found near the wreck.

It emerges that British technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah are among six people that remain missing.

Tuesday 20 August

The search continues for the six tourists missing.

It is reported that among those missing are Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo; and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Police divers try to reach the hull of the ship, resting at a depth of 50 metres.

Italy's fire brigade Vigili del Fuoco say early inspections of the wreck were "unsuccessful" because of limited access to the bridge and furniture obstructing passages.

The operation is later described as "complex", with divers limited to 12-minute underwater shifts.

Tributes pour in for Mr Thomas, with his friend Gareth Williams saying: "I can talk for everyone that knew him when I say he was a well-loved, kind human being with a calm spirit."

Wednesday 21 August

The search for the six people unaccounted for enters a third day, with crews carrying out inspections of the yacht's internal hull.

A team of four British inspectors from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) arrive in Porticello to look at the site of the sinking.

A helicopter is drafted in to help with the search effort and remotely controlled underwater vehicles are being used, with naval units and cave divers also taking part in the search.

Five bodies are found inside the yacht on Wednesday afternoon. Only four of them are brought to shore.

Body bags are seen being taken to Porticello in the afternoon where dozens of emergency services staff wait.

Searches finish for the day just before 7.30pm.

Thursday 22 August

The search resumes for the remaining missing person.

The body of the fifth missing person, found but not recovered the previous day, is brought to shore.

A fire service boat with flashing blue lights returns with a blue body bag to the port of Porticello just after 8.45am local time on Thursday.

Tributes pour in for Mr Lynch and Mr and Mrs Bloomer after they are identified as having died.

The search is called off at around 8pm in Sicily, with divers expected to begin again at 6.30am on Friday.

Friday 23  August

The search continues for the final person missing from the wreck of the Bayesian, Hannah Lynch.

Vincenzo Zagarola, of the Italian Coastguard, says the search for Hannah has not been "easy or quick", comparing the sunken yacht to an "18-storey building full of water".

The coastguard confirms in the late morning that her body has been found.

A green body bag is brought to the port of Porticello from the site of the sinking.

A spokesperson announces on behalf of the Lynch family that they are "devastated" and "in shock" after the deaths of Mike and Hannah.

Hannah's sister Esme pays tribute to her "little angel".

Saturday 24 August

A press conference is held in the court of an Italian town, Termini Imerese.

Public prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio tells reporters that his office has opened an initial investigation against unknown persons into manslaughter and negligent shipwreck.

As the focus now turns to the manslaughter investigation, here's another reminder of the seven victims of the sinking and the 15 people who survived. 

A close friend of the Lynch family has added to the chorus of tributes for British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, who died in Monday's superyacht sinking.

Susannah Gurdun, who lives in Suffolk, recalled being "daunted" when she first met Mr Lynch at a dinner party, before discovering he was "so much more than the corporate cliche".

"He was riveting.  He was funny, and kind, and endlessly interesting; capable of talking about anything and everything," she said.

Ms Gardun said the businessman also had a "thrilling ability" to make complicated subjects "accessible to those of us less blessed with a science acumen".

"In particular, he was wonderful with children.  I will never forget hearing him explain to a group of them - including our ten year old son - the physics of why the sky went pink at sunset," she said.

She went on describe Mr Lynch as a "true genius" and "phenomenal creative".

Ms Gardun said his daughter Hannah was also showing "serious literary promise", and added that it was "beyond tragic that we will never know where her own particular brilliance might have led".

"I still feel blessed to have shared that time with them in Spain.  Not just because I witnessed Mike’s incredible storytelling; but because I was given a chance of understanding what that moment said about all four of them as a united vibrant loving family," she said.

"He was an extraordinary human being and it was - truly - a privilege to have known him."

A yacht crew member who survived the sinking has paid tribute to Hannah Lynch, calling her a "diamond in a sea of stars".

Sasha Murray, chief stewardess of the Bayesian, has released a statement after divers recovered the final missing body from the wreckage, which is believed to be 18-year-old Hannah.

"Those who knew her will know that Hannah was a diamond in a sea of stars," she said.

"Bright, beautiful and always shining. What most people may not have seen was the extraordinarily strong, deep and loving relationship she shared with her parents, whom she adored more than anything. 

"While swimming with them she often said, if anything ever happened she would save them. 

"I have no doubt that the Irish, Latina fire that burns in her soul kept that spirited determination alive."

Ms Murray's statement comes as a new image of Hannah Lynch and her father Mike Lynch is released:

Prosecutors announced in this morning's news conference that they have opened a manslaughter and negligent shipwreck investigation.

Officials were unable to answer several queries from the media, saying they needed time to establish the facts, but what are the key questions facing prosecutors? 

Why weren't passengers who remained on board the vessel warned about escaping from the yacht?

The prosecutor in charge of the case, Raffaele Cammarano, suggested that some passengers may have been asleep when others were awake.

Asked why they were not woken up or alerted, he said that is something investigators are trying to work out from the statements of the survivors.

He called it an "essential" part of the inquiry.

Why were several of the passengers in one cabin?

The press conference heard several bodies onboard the sunken yacht were found in a single cabin which was not theirs.

Mr Cammarano said investigators currently do not know the reason for them being discovered in the same cabin.

The chief of the Palermo fire service, Bentivoglio Fiandra, said the yacht pinned to the right and suggested people tried to go on the other side, taking refuge in cabins in the higher part of the wreck.

Why did the boat sink?

The vessel had been deemed "unsinkable" by its manufacturer - Italian shipyard Perini Navi.

The Bayesian was hit by a downburst, according to Mr Cammarano, which are powerful winds that descend from a thunderstorm and spread out quickly once they hit the ground.

Officials will look into the safety equipment on the sunken vessel.

Mr Cammarano was asked about whether there is a black box and if the hatches were left open.

He said investigators do not have exact information about the black box and that the first phase of the inquiry will look into it.

Why were nearby vessels not similarly affected?

Another yacht, the Sir Robert BP, was about 150 to 200 metres from the Bayesian when extreme weather hit.

Its crew helped to rescue 15 people from the stricken vessel.

Italian officials said they would be looking at how the downburst could affect one vehicle and not other nearby vessels.

What weather warnings was the Bayesian alerted to?

Maritime director of western Sicily, Rear Admiral Raffaele Macauda, said the weather at the time of the yacht's sinking was abnormal and there was nothing to suggest such an extreme situation would arise.

He said there were forecasts of winds and a storm alert, but there was no warning of a tornado.

"Given that the conditions were such, there wasn't anything to suggest there could be an extreme situation arising," he said.

"There are vessels that can monitor, after all, these events and one would have thought that the captain had taken precautions."

How long will it take to recover the sailing vessel?

Mr Macauda could not confirm how long it would take to retrieve the shipwreck of the sunken yacht.

"Everything depends on the availability of the owners and the timeframe of the retrieval of the wreck and of course all that has to be submitted to the port authorities and in parallel of course there will be the inquiry results and it's only really then that we will be able to authorise the operation," he said.

"I can't say, like some experts who have already spoken on the subject, [said] that it will be eight weeks."

He made clear that the owners will bear the full cost of retrieval, although he could not estimate the figure.

Italian authorities detailed the challenging and meticulous rescue operation to recover the six missing people from the Bayesian wreck (see 9.18am post).

But why was the five-day search so difficult? 

Read more below...

More on this morning's press conference. 

One of the main updates from prosecutors was that they have opened manslaughter and shipwreck investigations after the deaths of seven people in the Bayesian sinking. 

Watch the announcement below...

Prosecutors have given a lengthy news conference this morning on their investigation into the sinking of the Bayesian. 

Read the full report on the prosecutors' probe below...

Marine investigator James Wilkes has been speaking to Sky News after this morning's press conference.

"Naturally, there are more questions than there are substantive answers at the moment - that's the nature of investigative work.

"Something forced that yacht to roll beyond its nominal stability limits, such that it wasn't able to right itself with the ingress of a certain amount of seawater that was coming into the yacht. 

"So the investigators are going to ask themselves one initial question - what must the conditions have been for this to happen? 

"Then they are going to look at the contributing factors to the yacht, sinking, and, and the unfortunate loss of life." 

Prosecutors said this morning that the future of the investigation is reliant on recovering the wreck. 

Mr Wilkes said the yacht is a "major piece of physical evidence in and of itself." 

"It's lying at 50 metres, which is a recoverable depth. 

"If it was significantly deeper, then I'm not sure they'd be considering salvage at this stage or certainly, the salvage question would be a lot more complicated to answer. 

"But if there was the ability to raise that yacht in one piece safely, then it gives the investigators physically more to look at."

Mr Wilkes said he was unsure if the yacht would have a "black box" - called a voyage data recorder in shipping. 

"It would record things like GPS position, heading speed, engine telemetry, whether the radars were on, what they were recording, alarms, communications from the yacht itself, any audio on the bridge.

"But more often than not, these are on merchant ships. The yacht was a commercial yacht in the sense that it could be chartered out so it's quite possible it has a voyage data recorder on, but I'm not sure that it does. I don't know that as a matter of fact," he said.
