Planet Nine is built for long-range cruising and epic heli-skiing adventures. As such, the 240-foot yacht, owned by billionaire financier Nathaniel “Nat” Rothschild, began life at commercial shipyard Cantiere San Marco in La Spezia, with the purpose of gaining an all-weather hull. Following a legal dispute, Project Nato, as it was then known, was moved to Admiral Yachts in 2016 where the build was completed.

The yacht’s trademark wing stations and mast structures, penned by Tim Heywood, are balanced by a super-sized helipad on the aft deck, which doubles as a basketball court. A forward jacuzzi and bank of sun pads on the sundeck is where guests gather when cruising into port.

Built for more than just posing however, the yacht’s credentials include a range of more than 6,000 nautical miles when cruising at 14 knots. Planet Nine can carry 340,000 liters of fuel, 9,000 liters of aviation fuel for the helicopter, and 40,000 liters of freshwater with the capability of making an additional 18,000 liters per day. How many liters of wine from the Rothschilds’ top Bordeaux estates are kept on board remains a mystery.

Here are 11 facts you didn’t know about one of the world’s foremost heli-skiing explorer yachts.

Rockstar Design

Planet Nine’s explorer exterior was designed by renowned British designer Tim Heywood. The interior is the work of London-based studio Mlinaric, Henry, and Zervudachi (MHZ), which has worked on several of Rothschild’s private residences. Much of the furniture is built by German luxury outfitter Fitz Interior, which built each space at its factory for a walk-through before the whole interior was dismantled and shipped to Italy.

Ice, Ice Baby

The yacht’s hull is ice-classified 1D by Lloyd’s (suitable for light ice conditions) and has thick hull plates, strong frames, and bulkheads. Rothschild stipulated a hull that could withstand six-inch thick ice and the frigid temperatures found in high latitudes to facilitate his love of heli-skiing in Greenland and Antarctica. Aptly, it was Heywood’s design of explorer yacht Ice that brought the British designer to Rothschild’s attention.

Blade Runner

The upper deck main lounge doubles as a waiting area for air transfers, with views straight onto the aft deck helipad. The full-beam landing area accommodates the yacht’s eight-seater MD600 explorer helicopter—the same model that saved Bond’s life in Die Another Day . In true Bond style, the helipad is linked to a hydraulic lift system that can lower the aircraft to a hangar below the deck. When the primary aircraft is safely stored in the hangar, a second helicopter can be accommodated on deck.

Condominium at Sea

Planet Nine accommodates 16 guests (though only 12 on charter) and features an entire owner’s deck. The private, 3,000-square-foot owner’s apartment has a full suite, dressing rooms, lounge, study, and private terrace. The ensuite has a full-sized marble bath. Oh, and there’s even a private owner’s foyer.

The Bibliophiles

It’s not surprising that an Eton and Oxford graduate would enjoy an onboard library, though to include one in the owner’s suite is downright lavish. A second, much larger library that wraps around two walls is found in the main deck lounge, while a third mini-library is in the upper deck lounge.

Triple the Value

Planet Nine enjoys not one but three VIP guest suites. The main deck VIP suite is separated from the library by a pair of sliding doors, making it the perfect choice for guests who enjoy a bedtime read. The second is on the bridge deck, with access to the large aft deck. The third is on the lower deck with a private lounge that can convert into an additional guest cabin transforming it into a family suite.

Sweet Dreams

The lower guest deck includes its own entrance and lobby at the stern of the yacht that leads to five double suites. Guests have free run of this level, largely because the engine room is located on the tank deck below. A mixture of American elm, tropical olive wood, and wacapou is used to differentiate the cabins, while the doors are covered in different shades of Garrett leather to help guests locate their cabin along the long corridor.

Elevator Pitch

Two elevators serve all five levels—lower to sun deck—one taking guests from the beach club jet skis to the top deck Jacuzzi at the press of a button, and the second used by the yacht’s 20 crew, allowing for swift service from the galley.

Glass Onboard

A forward observation lounge on the upper deck is where guests can soak up panoramic 180-degree views thanks to a bank of floor-to-ceiling glass windows that wrap around three sides. Glass features large across the yacht, including tinted glass paneling in the guest cabin en suites in place of traditional marble.

Main Deck Movies

A surround sound cinema lives below the observation room, bringing subterranean glamour to the main deck. Midnight blue crushed velvet flooring is matched with royal purple velvet loungers and cushions for extra comfort. A total of 11 speakers and two subwoofers are contained with great soundproofing so as not to disturb other guests when blockbuster action movies are on screen.

The steam room, spa, and beach club lead onto a picture-worthy sea terrace. The open transom has lights set into the teak decking to illuminate the area at night. There is also a boot room for storing guests’ shoes and personal effects when swimming, which also comes in handy for storing wet dive gear and heli-ski equipment.

History

As is recounted in the brief paragraph at the head of page 2 of the , Star Yachts was founded in the years immediately following WWI by Franz Marie Denye, a Belgian refugee who had fled Belgium at the beginning of the war. Originally a builder of full size ships, he decided that models would provide a livelihood for him and his family. This they did until the works site was compulsorily purchased to clear the site for new development in 1990. At that point the family closed the business. The factory had been demolished by 1991. There was a brief attempt to keep the name alive as the banner of a Youth Opportunity Programme project to provide work for the unemployed, but it soon folded. It is not known whether the products of the YOP project were the same as those of the original company.

Production over the years was extremely varied andvery large, as is shownby the regularity with which relatively recent examples appear on Ebay and in boot sales. Apart from the last catalogue and some instructional material of comparable vintage, very little documentation has survived and we don't know a lot about the pre-war production apart from very occasional models that turn up of which we had no prior knowledge. Over the years the range has included both clockwork and steam powered boats but these are extremely rare. It is thought that Star produced hulls for steam powered models sold by Mersey Models of Liverpool and probably that the steam plants used by Star were made by MerseyModels.

Changes over time

Much of the variation in production will now be impossible to disentangle, but we have some small insights. Early (pre-1939?) hulls have a rounded counter stern, but more recent (post 1945?) models have a square stern. [early round stern] The Star trademark logo was originally a brass pressing nailed to the deck, but this was changed at an unknown date to the more familiar transfer. The last production run of yachts have blue sails. Names have been changed at various times, For instance SY7 yachts exist named both as Arctic Star and as Ocean Star. Whether this is a considered policy, or the result of a shortage of the appropriate name transfers is impossible to determine.

The catalogue is a trade catalogue. Most of the boats were sold through toy shops and department stores, particularly in seaside towns, but some of the larger boats were sold at one stage by Bassett-Lowke, who bought in a number of ranges of superior quality toy boats throughout their existence. There will be pages on Bassett's activity in the toy end of the market in due course.

You will see that the last pages of the catalogue contain many non-boat items suitable for sale in sea side toy shops. Many of these are in plastic. It is not known whether these were moulded by Star or bought in. The absence of any plastic components on the boats and the continued availability of items such as the tower style bucket suggests that they were bought in.

Catalogue and Instruction sheets

You can download the last colour catalogue, a price list and some sailing instructions.

Sailing performance

As the catalogue admits, the very small models are suited only for the bath. The smaller yachts struggle to perform, but the 'named' yachts generally sail well Western Star however, at 30 inches the largest yacht in the last catalogue, is a pig to sail properly. The performance is improved by moving the mast forward by an inch.

Potential collectors should be aware of Chinese copies of Star designs sold under the logo of Bosun Boats. These are not Star yachts in any sense and do not sail anything like as well as the originals.

See photos of some collectors with their genuine Star yachts.

Star Yachts of Birkenhead 1935 Catalogue

The Star Yacht factory in Birkenhead, England manufactured model sailing boats for a period of nearly 70 years, their yachts were successfully exported all over the world and yet, in spite of this, nowadays there seems to be very little information available identifying the broad spectrum of their products and how they had evolved over the years. From what I can gather the catalogues that were produced, depicting the full range of yachts in line drawings, were primarily intended for the trade with products listed in carton quantities and reference given to trade-terms, etc. so it is, perhaps, for this reason that so few have survived and that details of the companies products are so sketchy.

I have been fortunate to be able to scan a number of early catalogues that chart not only the development of Star’s core product, model yachts, but also the vast range of other associated toys that were produced in order that the business avoided the peaks and troughs of such seasonal sales.

I will be adding further catalogues and information over time.

STAR YACHT DAY 2024

Sun day, June 30th. at Hoylake, Wirral.

Well the weather was playing up again this year with a very strong northerly breeze, at least it wasn't raining all day like last year but it did not stop the hoards of Star yacht owners from turning up and having a very good time indeed with people arrived from all points of the country.

It was nice to see some larger and older types of the Star yachts this year, a lot looking freshly restored, a real mixed bag sailing together.

Triona and Ian returned with their 8" Challenge which was again a hit with everyone and more than two dozen taking part.

On the day we were collecting for the Macmillan Cancer Support and Alan would personally like to thank everyone who over the past few months has donated the yachts, monies and purchased any of the yachts. £240 was raised, it's all going to a good cause.

Below are some of the photos of the day along with photos from Star owners in different areas and around the globe in other countries who sailed their Stars in homage the anniversary of the factory closure in 1990. If you took any photos on the day sailing your Star yacht, wherever you may be, then please send them in.

Well done to Terry Voisey who certainly made the effort.

Here is Andy Broad going that one step beyond by swimming alongside his yacht in Falmouth harbour.

Over in Victoria, BC. Canada we had Frank Lohner with his fleet, a nice display.

Round the other side of the world to Australia and we have Mark Kemplay-Hill floating his red & green fleet in Adelaide.

An excellent day all around, well done for supporting the day.

Don't forget to send in photos of your Stars and I will add them to the page.

From next year the Star Yacht day will be held on the last Sunday in June, as it is the weekend, it allows more people time to drop in, so that will be on Sunday June 29th. Hope to see you if you are passing by, drop in and say hello, you don't need to have a yacht as we can lend you one.

Everyone’s favorite recycled good isn’t as eco-friendly as they think it is: study.

The glass isn’t always greener.

Thought you were being green by buying glass containers? Think again. This so-called eco-friendly vessel component is far less sustainable than people believe, according to scientists at the University of Amherst in Massachusetts.

“Despite glass being idealized as being the most sustainable, other packaging types may be more sustainable,” authors wrote in the study published last month in the journal Sustainability.

Unfortunately, many view glass as synonymous with sustainability as well as cost-efficiency.

The researchers surveyed 850 adult customers on their ideal orange juice packaging, finding that most preferred a $1.10, 12-ounce glass bottle that’s locally produced and labeled 100% recyclable, Food & Wine Magazine reported.

This was followed by carton, aluminum and plastic containers, per a recent press release.

“Glass was the most sought-after and most highly esteemed packaging type,” said Nomzamo Dlamini, the paper’s lead author. “But it turns out, glass is actually among the least sustainable if you look at the whole packaging lifecycle.”

The team arrived at this conclusion by comparing the packaging process for glass, carton, aluminum and plastic.

They found that while the sustainability of food packaging differs depending on the contents, vessel size and weight, and other factors, carton reigns supreme when it comes to single-serving orange juice.

Clocking in second for sustainability was plastic, followed by canned, and finally, glass, shattering perceptions that the latter is king. 

Also contrary to plastic’s planet-killing reputation , the petroleum product’s “production and end-of-life impacts” are less than glass’s, and it’s lighter and therefore demands less energy to transport, per the study.

Not to mention that the steam-based sealing process employed with plastic containers requires less energy than the retort system used for glass.

Ultimately, the paper concludes that while “packaging choices contribute to environmental outcomes, the most impactful and practical way consumers can contribute to sustainability efforts is to reduce or avoid food waste.”

Italian Sea Group flagship yacht Planet Nine ready to be delivered

Planet Nine  – previously known as Admiral Project 575 – has been completed and is ready for delivery. At 73.2 metres, she is the largest superyacht from the  Italian Sea Group  to date. She was launched in Marina di Carrara in January 2018. Planet Nine is for sale asking €85,000,000.

This ice-classed explorer yacht balances a comfortable interior with all the practical considerations needed for global voyages.

Giuseppe Taranto, CEO and worldwide sales director at the Tuscany-based yard, said during the launch, "We are proud of this construction and are confident she will be a benchmark in her category. She is a yacht with a unique style that will attract attention in every port.  Planet Nine  is also a great achievement in terms of technology."

This full-displacement custom motor yacht features accommodation for 12 split across six spacious guest staterooms, including a 300 square metre  owner’s suite , which covers an entire deck and comprises two cabins and a central lounge.

Meanwhile the upper deck is dedicated to the guests with four further cabins and a panoramic observatory lounge afore of the on board cinema room and its 112 inch screen.

Other key features include a large helicopter hangar, suitable for an Augusta Grande-sized chopper, and a pair of  superyacht elevators  connecting all five decks and providing discreet crew access. The aft tender garage houses a pair of 9.75 metre Rupert Marine tenders, while the beach club includes a dedicated spa area.

Built to Lloyd's standards, Planet Nine is scheduled to be delivered to her owner before the end of the year, when she will take her place as one of  the largest explorer yachts in the world .

The yard adds that the interiors "recall the classic taste and the elegant atmosphere typical of timeless yachts, but with a touch of sober modernity". Engine installation details and her top speed still remain confidential, but an impressive cruising range seems certain to be among her key features.
