  ICE 66 rs: boat tour and first sailing impressions

It is not possible to approach a vessel of this caliber without first considering its genesis. Presented in mid-2021, when the world was still in the midst of a pandemic, the new ICE 66 rs project brought together a stellar team. The renowned Farr Yacht Design, a firm that needs no introduction, is responsible for the hull lines and naval architecture. They collaborated with another internationally significant name: Lucio Micheletti, the creative genius behind the interior and exterior design. This incredible partnership has produced true masterpieces, such as the award-winning S/Y CANOVA, the legendary Baltic 142.

With these premises, I decisively climb aboard the new ICE 66, just as the sails are being delivered and rigged for the first time.

The following article is an exclusive preview, a gift from ICE Yachts to The International Yachting Media.

Ice 66 RS at night

The new ICE 66 rs in detail

The first heart-stopping moment happens even before climbing on board. It is impossible not to notice how the new ICE 66 rs is a completely different sailing yacht compared to its predecessors. The lines are not just beautiful; they are decidedly modern, luxurious, and innovative. This boat resembles no other.

The stern is simply huge, resembling that of an 80-footer, and it features one of the cleanest designs I have ever seen. The deckhouse is remarkably sinuous, rising with uncommon delicacy and beauty, while its side moldings appear to be shaped by the wind, almost like those of a modern supercar.

Ice 66 RS lateral view

Continuing towards the bow of the ICE 66 rs, just after the mast, we find a simple yet clean expanse of (eco-friendly) teak decking that further enhances the overall elegance Lucio Micheletti has bestowed upon the exterior of this yacht.

Descending below deck, I am struck for the second time. The overall view of the salon of the new ICE 66 rs is breath-taking. Here, different types of woods and fabrics play off each other in an environment where nothing is left to chance. Sublime color combinations, enhanced by unprecedented material workmanship, create an ambiance that, despite benefiting from nearly six meters of beam, manages to extend the natural boundaries of sight beyond their physical limits.

Two opposing sofas, though massive, fail to diminish the beauty of the initial void that, masterfully, finds a wonderful conclusion with that central furniture piece, which alone synthesizes Lucio Micheletti’s skill in concealing function with forms of sublime beauty.

ICE 66 rs salon

The suite that the ICE 66 rs reserves for its owner is yet another clear example. Here, the bow tapers significantly, yet once again, this design of tone-on-tone, warm colors that gradually cool as they ascend, remarkably expands the spaces. The King Size bed is centrally placed and adorned with changes in elevation and exquisite lighting, highlighting woodworking craftsmanship that I haven’t seen in a long time.

The galley forms a U-shape around the carbon fiber mast, intentionally left exposed, seamlessly blending with the surrounding environment and reflecting its forms on its glossy surface. Onboard the ICE 66 rs, the work surfaces seem endless from every angle, as do the large storage volumes. Expertly concealed within high-quality furniture are refrigerators, induction cooktops, and such a quantity of cabinets and lockers that undoubtedly equip the ICE 66 rs for long summer cruises (or ocean crossings), earning it the full title of a blue water cruiser.

ICE 66 rs Sea Trial

We leave the harbor while the sailmakers are still hoisting the mainsail, the boat packed to the brim, clearly set up for pure cruising. The ICE 66 rs sails around 6 knots with the engine just above 1300 RPMs, its hull smoothly gliding through the water, leaving barely a trace. I ask Roberto Innocenti, my close friend and captain, to accelerate a bit to understand our cruising speed under motor. He pushes the throttle forward, and at 2400 RPMs, we reach ten and a half knots. I glance back at the wake, still clean, the stern refusing to dip—promising signs indeed. We’ll see…

It takes quite a while for the sailmakers to hoist the mainsail, the lock acting up. Meanwhile, the legendary thermal wind of the Gulf of La Spezia, which reliably gives us 10-12 knots nearly every day, like clockwork, starts to fade. Fortunately, the jib quickly sets, a perfect 103% and ideal for simple cruising.

We turn off the engine when there’s very little true wind, the gauge optimistically showing 4.9/5 knots. We bear away, and to our surprise, the boat heels, creates its apparent wind, and immediately accelerates. In no time, we’re above 5 knots, then hitting 5.7, but it’s time to tack.

Ice 66 rs upwind

We’re inside the breakwater, on a close reach, exiting by Portovenere. To avoid sailing too close to the red beacon at Punta Santa Maria, we need to be fast. Mentally noting the standard but optimistic 90° angles, we tack and change sides. I’ve done this tack a thousand times; it’s usually impossible with just one tack when there’s little wind, especially with the mussel buoys… Yet, the ICE 66 rs effortlessly tacks without slowing down, disregarding the lack of wind signs on the water, and swiftly sets on the new tack at an incredible angle, accelerating to over 5 knots again.

We smoothly navigate past the mussel farms, the boat gliding like a train, passing by other sailboats and drawing astonished looks from fellow sailors who are almost stationary with their sails dangling. Damn, this ICE 66 rs sails like a dream.

ICE 66 detail

Reluctantly, I step off the boat and switch to the support boat to launch the drone. It takes off just as they’re hoisting the gennaker on the ICE 66 rs, a large, red sail spanning 450 square meters of beauty. Once again, I’m skeptical; we’re behind Palmaria and there’s less pressure here.

Yet, the sail catches the wind, and I see on my monitor that the boat begins to move—first slowly, then gaining speed as it creates its own apparent wind. I position myself beside it, flying at the same speed as the ICE 66 rs. The GPS on my drone reads 11/12 km/h, approximately 6 knots—amazing. Shifting the drone to the stern, I observe the wake, which inexplicably remains flat and clean.

It’s a magic that only a design studio like Farr Yacht Design could make possible, a magic that I must, indeed want to, experience again when there’s more wind because I am now certain that this ICE 66 rs has many more surprises in store.

Conclusions

With this yacht, ICE YACHTS undoubtedly takes a big step forward, raising the bar even higher in terms of expectations. The ICE 66 rs is a sailing boat that manages to be both easy to handle and incredibly fast, stable, and precise at the helm—a true pleasure to sail.

Beautiful inside and out, the ICE 66 rs sets a new course that, I am certain, will receive acclaim from all owners seeking an exclusive vessel—one that stands out and delights the senses whenever you lay eyes upon it.

The countdown has begun for the new ICE 66 rs

Ice 66 rs sailboat

It’s called ICE 66 rs, the new model from the Italian shipyard ICE Yachts , designed by Farr Yacht Design for the hull and naval architecture and Micheletti + Partners for the interior and exterior styling. The first unit will be launched in May, and two more units are already under construction.

The ICE 66 rs is built with a glass carbon sandwich construction and a full carbon deck, allowing to combine the stiffness of carbon with the natural vibration absorption properties (and thus noise reduction). A full carbon model is already in the works.

ICE 66 rs work in progress

The keel blade, made with Weldox structure and lead bulb milled with CNC, will ensure the solidity and robustness required to withstand the loads from the extensive sail plan. The hull is derived from racing designs, with a slightly reversed bow and the maximum beam shifted towards the stern. The draft of 3.35m has been judged as the best compromise between performance and accessibility to the main ports of the Mediterranean. The spacious garage is designed to accommodate a tender up to 3 meters in width.

ICE 66 rs interiors

The spacious and bright dinette is extremely luminous thanks to the generous dimensions of the windows. The kitchen is open-plan with a central island and equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, ample Corian work surfaces, numerous storage spaces, and a wine cellar.

Natural light creates a welcoming atmosphere, while the modern and functional design of the kitchen harmoniously integrates with the other spaces, all enhanced by panels covered in light leather contrasting with walnut wood finishes.

The ICE Yacht shipyard is proud to present the ICE66rs. The first model in a series born from collaboration with the top names in the nautical industry: Farr Yacht design for the hull and naval architecture and Micheletti + Partners for the interior and exterior styling.

“Nothing less than the best” is the shipyard’s slogan for this new line: “We wanted to work with the best designers in the market to ensure a light, fast, competitive, and comfortable boat. The top in the market to bring the Made in Italy of the shipyard to an international level. This line is not meant to replace the existing production but will complement it, targeting an audience that appreciates the solidity and performance of ICE Yachts but seeks a more futuristic design.” These are the statements of ICE Yachts CEO Marco Malgara.

The boat, in its first version, will have a sandwich construction of glass carbon with a full carbon deck that combines the rigidity of carbon with the natural ability to absorb vibrations (and thus noise). A full carbon model is already in the works for speed enthusiasts. The mast, strictly made of carbon, will support a generous sail plan.

The keel blade, constructed with a double Weldox structure and the lead bulb milled with numerical control, will ensure the strength and robustness necessary to withstand the loads imposed by the large sail plan.

The carbon rudder with a forged autoclave 7 bar axis, designed with cutting-edge technology, allows for impressive control even in a heeled or subjected to high aerodynamic loads, always keeping safety in mind, both in design and construction.

“Finally, we have measured ourselves with a beautiful yacht for racing and fast cruising! After two years of full immersion in the sophistication of the America’s Cup and racing, we were able to dedicate ourselves to excellence in a ‘market’ project, for sailing and sea enthusiasts, for those who do not want to compromise on performance while making all-around use of their boat. Technologies and materials have made huge progress and allow us to create lightweight and extremely robust objects that provide comfort and silence, as well as durability. ICE’s SIX.SIX is a step-change for racing-cruising.”

The waterlines have been designed with the intention of taking the speed and seaworthiness qualities that the shipyard’s customers are used to, to a new level. The hull is derived from racing with a slightly reversed bow, as seen on the OR65 and has always been a hallmark of the shipyard. The maximum beam moved towards the stern, the powerful hull, and the significant righting moment allow this boat to aspire to compete with pure racers. The 3.35m draft has been judged the best compromise between performance and accessibility to the main Mediterranean ports.

The spacious garage, a record in its category and almost on par with that of an 80-foot yacht, is designed to accommodate a tender that is up to 3 meters in width, transversely!

Boat Overview

Hull material, carbon_fiber, boat length (loa), see all details, boat description, sailing mastery in the ice 66 rs.

The ICE 66 RS represents a significant leap in yacht innovation. Designed by Lucio Micheletti, who has shaped some of the most luxurious boats known today, it stands at the zenith of grandeur and adeptness in the sailing world.

Sophistication Meets Performance

A marvel by ICE Yachts, the ICE 66rs harmonizes first-rate building quality with state-of-the-art design. Farr Yacht Design's expertise in hull shapes and appendages ensures that the ICE 66rs delivers exhilarating performances while maintaining traditional seafaring traits. This vessel provides both the thrill of race boats and the comforts suitable for long voyages.

Simplicity defines the sailing experience with hidden maneuvers and four electric winches that make the ICE 66rs effortlessly operable by a single individual.

The hull is race-derived with a slightly reverse bow, as on the OR65s and always a stylistic feature of the shipyard. The maximum beam moved aft, powerful hull and significant righting moment allow this boat to aspire to compete with pure racers. The 3.35m draft was judged to be the best compromise between performance and accessibility in major Mediterranean ports. The large garage, record-breaking in its class and almost on a level with that of an 80-footer, is set up to transversely hold an inflated dinghy as large as 10 feet!

“ICE’s brief was enthusiastically received by our. Studying and working again with Lucio Micheletti (ed. after making the award-winning Baltic ‘Canova’) a real pleasure. The most interesting aspect was the freedom we were able to express in designing the hull, appendages and sail plan, which are at the top of all the experiences we have had over the years. We had a goal of maximum performance united with ease of operation. A modern and very fast boat that is nevertheless stable and precise. This boat will give fast cruising, but also the satisfactions in racing.”

Ice 66 RS – Cockpit

Farr Yacht Design (Annapolis – USA) comments, “The cockpit features classic Mediterranean style with ample seating and provision for outdoor living. The deckhouse features an automotive-derived design with wide paramare that conceal within them the exit of the sheets conveniently usable by one person through the 4 electric winches. Large front windows allow, from the dinette, a full view of the deck, resetting the interior/exterior separation to zero. A boat to be experienced at 360°.”

Ice 66 RS – Interior

Several layouts are being considered for this project; it certainly will not be the usual sailboat. The Raised Saloon typology allows greater freedom in room layout and provides better access to all facilities for maintenance. This allowed Lucio Micheletti to design a boat with unthinkable spaces for this category. The Main Saloon, large and airy makes you think you are on a 70-footer. The classic 3-cabin 3-bathroom layout is joined by a 4-cabin 4-bathroom option that allows for a totally independent twin for crew or younger children.

ICE 66 RS - Render deck

The special feature of this line is that it will be extensively customizable; the entire ICE Yachts technical department and the Micheletti Partners studio will collaborate in creating the ideal boat for each owner.

Lucio Micheletti (Milan-Italy), Designer at Micheletti Partners Studio, says, “We thought we would find ourselves and start again with a new project, a concept where lightness and design play with unprecedented forms. We thought ICE could be the right theater to do experimentation. The challenge is high, because boats between 16 and 24 meters are the most difficult. They are big, but not very big. You have to combine efficiency, comfort and practicality in volumes that never give anything away. And of course, as with all boats, they have to be a pleasure to the eye. I tried to stay clean without adding anything that is not useful and functional, for the exteriors, and to reward the feeling of space and brightness in the interiors that are also very very practical. The result is innovative, but not gratuitous. I am happy with what has been achieved outside and inside.”

A new masterpiece marked Ice Yachts: the new Ice 66 RS

Sailing boat

  • Yacht industry

From the collaboration between Micheletti & Partners and Farr Yacht Design comes the new Ice 66 RS.

The water lines were entrusted to Farr Yacht Design, and the interior and exterior design to the notorious Italian designer Lucio Micheletti. "We chose the best in the market," the words of the yard's CEO, Marco Malgara.

Ice Yachts' new 66-footer was born from the idea of creating an extremely elegant, high-performance boat with a design taken from the best modern super sports cars in the automotive world.

An innovative carbon glass lamination with a full carbon deck that, thanks to the one-step infusion system, combines carbon stiffness with natural vibration absorption qualities thanks to the one-step infusion system. The deck fittings also reflect the soul of the boat landed to the max, including EC6 carbon rigging and carbon mast.

This makes it possible to create a compact boat characterized by a sporty soul that aspires to high performance in cruising and competitive sailing without sacrificing comfort. A concept where lightness, softness, and design play with distinctive shapes, ideal for landing on the challenging American market.

Even in the interiors, the boat impresses with a spacious four-cabin layout with an innovative galley design without sacrificing ample space and brightness. The result is functional and innovative without sacrificing privacy and comfort.

The new Ice 66 maintains the yard's hallmark of high quality and a high level of customization to meet all customer needs. Currently under construction, the first two exemplars will see the Mediterranean waters by May 2024.

80-year-old L.L. Bean staple finds a new audience as a trendy bag

by DAVID SHARP Associated Press

FREEPORT, Maine (AP) — L.L. Bean created it 80 years ago to haul heavy blocks of ice. Now it's a must-have summer fashion accessory.

The simple, sturdy canvas bag called the Boat and Tote is having an extended moment 80 years after its introduction, thanks to a social media trend in which they're monogrammed with ironic or flashy phrases.

New Yorker Gracie Wiener helped get it started by ordering her humble bags from L.L. Bean monogrammed with “Psycho” and then “Prada,” the pricey Italian luxury brand, instead of just her name or initials, and posting about them on Instagram. Then others began showcasing their own unique bags on TikTok.

Soon, it wasn’t enough to have a bag monogrammed with “Schlepper,” “HOT MESS,” “slayyyy” or “cool mom.” Customers began testing the limits of the human censors in L.L. Bean’s monogram department, which bans profanity “or other objectionable words or phrases,” with more provocative wording like “Bite me,” “Dum Blonde” and “Ambitchous.”

Social media fueled the surge, just as it did for Stanley’s tumblers and Trader Joe’s $2.99 canvas bags, which were once selling on eBay for $200, said Beth Goldstein, an analyst at Circana, which tracks consumer spending and trends.

The tote’s revival came at a time when price-conscious consumers were forgoing expensive handbags, sales of which have weakened, and L.L. Bean’s bag fit the bill as a functional item that’s trendy precisely because it’s not trendy, she said. L.L. Bean's regular bags top out at about $55, though some fancier versions cost upward of $100.

“There’s a trend toward the utilitarian, the simple things and more accessible price points,” she said, and the customization added to the appeal: “Status items don’t have to be designer price points.”

L.L. Bean’s tote was first advertised in a catalog as Bean’s Ice Carrier in 1944 during World War II, when ice chests were common. Then they disappeared before being reintroduced in 1965 as the Boat and Tote.

These days, they’re still made in Maine and are still capable of hauling 500 pounds of ice, but they are far more likely to carry laptops, headphones, groceries, books, beach gear, travel essentials and other common items.

Those snarky, pop-oriented phrases transformed them into a sassy essential and helped them spread beyond Maine, Massachusetts’ Cape Cod and other New England enclaves to places like Los Angeles and New York City, where fashionistas like Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker are toting them — but not necessarily brandished with ironic phrases.

“It’s just one of those things that makes people smile and makes people laugh, and it’s unexpected,” said Wiener, who got it all started with her @ironicboatandtote Instagram page, which she started as a fun side hustle from her job as social media manager for Air Mail, a digital publication launched by former Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter.

The folks at L.L. Bean were both stunned and pleased by the continuing growth. For the past two years, the Boat and Tote has been L.L. Bean’s No. 1 contributor to luring in new customers, and sales grew 64% from fiscal years 2021 to 2023, spokesperson Amanda Hannah said.

The surge in popularity is reminiscent of L.L. Bean’s traditional hunting shoe, the iconic staple for trudging through rain and muck, which enjoyed its own moment a few years back, driven by college students.
