WHAT WE SAY

The quintessential Oyster and undisputed class leader at this size, the 56 is also our most successful model, with seventy-five launched between 1998 and 2010. Rob Humphreys designed the 56 to be large enough for rapid ocean cruising and to accommodate her crew in comfort and style when living aboard, but also to be small and agile enough to be handled by a couple.

The 56 was the first yacht with an ergonomically designed cockpit, the result of working with Loughborough University's Ergonomics department, making relaxing and entertaining a true pleasure, whilst maintaining all the essential qualities you expect from a serious seagoing yacht. She’s a proven performer with class wins in the ARC, and also winning Cruising Class 1 at Antigua Sailing Week, beating a number of more serious racing competitors.

The 56-foot catamaran , known simply as the CAT56, pairs the comfort and space of a multihull with the sleek and sporty stylings of a superyacht. The exterior exudes a modern elegance for which the two houses are renowned, with clean lines and long windows running from bow to stern. The 23-foot width creates a relatively roomy interior yet ensures the cat is still narrow enough that it can dock comfortably in marinas.

The light and airy living quarters are centered around a salon with an open-plan kitchen and lounge that opens onto an expansive cockpit. The refined finishes throughout are of “superior quality compared to boats in the same segment,” according to the design team. As for accommodation, the yacht features a full-beam owner’s suite with a walk-in closet and a desk, along with two en suite guest cabins, and a crew cabin.

The exterior decks are not short on style, either. The cockpit is furnished with elegant pieces and offers direct access to the sea, while the flybridge is home to a wet bar, sunbathing area, and helm station. The CAT56 is the first Austin Parker design conceived under Nalcaci and marks an important milestone for the yard.

“Nalcaci will not only make new financial resources available but, thanks to his solid industrial experience, will guarantee the production of the new catamaran and the boats currently in the range with state-of-the-art technologies,” Fulvio De Simoni, CEO of De Simoni Yacht Design, said in a statement.

The CAT56 will enter production in September. It is the first model in a series that Pininfarina and Fulvio De Simoni will develop for Austin Parker over the coming years. Stay tuned.

Sea Chelle Boat | 56' Carver 2007

The TOTAL Package...2007 Carver 56 Voyager

$25,000 Price reduction 3/18

Note: There is quite a difference between the 2005/2006 and 2007 56' Voyagers...major interior upgrades throughout, huge port lights added on both sides & a redesigned bow with a higher freeboard on the 2007s...choose wisely.

You will not believe it...Perfect in almost every way & virtually as she was delivered in 2008 with ONLY 158 HOURS. As you would expect the soft goods show little to no wear. M/V "Sea Chelle" was fully serviced in the spring of 2023, with all Fluids and Filters, Zincs, and a Bottom Job w/ Prop Speed on the running gear. And a rebuild of both turbos has just been recently completed. Sea Chelle offers a beautiful hi-gloss cherry interior, dark cocoa upholstery, and an entertainment center only found in the 2007s and up. She is truly one to see & the owner says... Let's Make a Deal.

Just a few more Highlights...

Low hours on Reliable Volvo D12s 675HP

Davit on bridge and RIB included with sale

Raymarine E120's in PH & E80's on Fly Bridge

Leather seating with 3 Endcliners

Lift-actuated 40" Smart TV in Salon

Waxed & Buffed 3/15/2024

Luxurious Accommodations...The layout of the 56 Voyagers is absolutely perfect for the adventurous spirit.  Her saloon welcomes entertaining large parties while at the same time providing a comfortable and intimate setting for the cruising couple. Three staterooms with a master suite fit for a king & queen with an ensuite split head, drawer storage for days, and several cedar-lined hanging lockers for extensive wardrobes. The stackable washer and dryer are also located in the master stateroom across from an oversized -queen berth with an interspring mattress that provides a good night's sleep. The galley layout is wonderful...enough counter space for a big Sunday buffet, refrigeration is provided by four large fridge and freezer drawers, there is a full-size microwave, a 3-burner induction cooktop, and of course a trash compactor to help tidy up.

Your VIP guests will be surrounded by comfort and their accommodations are 1st class as well. The forward VIP offers a center-line queen-size berth and to port is a third stateroom that offers twin bunks with a Pullman's berth; or it can be used as a seating/reading study area. The large forward head offers day access and can be entered through the VIP stateroom as well. It offers a full-size separate shower and a nice-sized vanity with storage for all the towels and toiletries your guests will bring on board. 

Recent Updates include:

All New Batteries 2/23

Bottom Job w/ Prop Speed 4/23

New Isinglass Enclosure 3/22

Bridge Deck & Cockpit Carpet Replaced 3/22

Walker Bay RIB w/ 20HP Yamaha Included

In 2007 Carver...provided a nice refresh in the design to the already impressive 56 Voyager. These updates were highlighted by her large portlights found a mid-ship; three on the starboard side and two on the port side allowing an abundance of natural light to pour into the cabins below. The new saloon & pilot house revisions charm owners & guests with a modern interpretation of what a duel station motor yacht should be. Several other subtle updates separate the 2007 56' Carver Voyager from all other 50' - 60' motor yachts for long-range cruising. There is a lot to see here and her owners are motivated...schedule a walk-through and make your best offer..."Sea-Chelle"  awaits.

Description

1987 56’ Ocean Alexander "Reveille"

RE-POWERED & HIGHLY MODIFIED!   OVER $450,000 SPENT IN UPGRADES!

Reveille has been cared for by real yachtsmen who have spared no expense maintaining the yacht. There was over $450,000.00 spent up-grading the yacht in the last few years.  Some of the up-grades are  high-lighted in bold.

Description:

Reveille is a classic,1987 56’ Ocean Alexander Motor Yacht built in Taiwan. The company was started in 1978 by Alexander Chueh and the first yacht built was a 50’ pilothouse designed by architect Ed Monk, Jr. In the mid 1980’s Ocean Alexander launched a series of contemporary pilothouse motor yachts of which this is one, and to date more than 1,500 yachts have sold. Each model is built with beautiful teak wood and fine joinery work.

Perfect for someone looking for a quality motor yacht or trawler and complete with everything needed for cruising, Reveille has a lot packed into its 56’ and 18’ beam. There are 4 staterooms and 4 heads, each with a stall shower. The master stateroom is located aft via a private stairway and features a king size berth. The other three staterooms are forward, accessed by a stairway from the pilothouse.

Reveille’s highlights include a large aft deck, comfortable salon, and full-size galley-up with a U-shaped dinette & table, and a spacious, full-beam engine room. There is fully functioning lower station and a fly bridge station with all controls. The bridge is large with plenty of seating and a fiberglass hard top.

The mechanical equipment was replaced with  Detroit/MTU Series 60 engines, new quick shift electronic controls and two Westerbeke generators (12.5 & 15 KW).

Walk Through or Layout:

Reveille can be entered from either side deck or from the swim platform to the aft deck.

The spacious, teak-floored aft deck provides an aft station with electric engine controls and bow and stern thruster controls, starboard. A teak stairway, portside, leads to the flybridge that is fitted with a hardtop and hard Lexan enclosure forward. The fully appointed upper helm with Stidd helm chairs is surrounded by a nice L-shaped seating area with fold down table and a bench on the opposite side. Aft, a Boston Whaler tender and davit sit atop a large boat deck.

Entry to the interior is either from the side deck directly into the pilothouse through a starboard door or into the full-width salon via wing doors, port and starboard, or the aft deck through teak-framed glass double doors. The salon features beautiful sightlines both port, starboard, and aft and is furnished with a huge leather sectional that surrounds a large coffee table. Across the room is a custom-mounted  high-definition 55” Samsung QLED Smart TV .   Top-of-the-line electronics and surround sound are housed below in teak cabinetry.

From the salon, a private staircase leads below to the master stateroom that features a king size berth, private head, and shower, hanging lockers, and drawer storage.

Forward of the salon a well-designed lower helm with a large, raised dinette is to port, providing both captain and guests a wonderful place to relax on long passages. The galley is aft of the pilothouse and features an abundance of cabinetry, natural light, and a convenient pass-through to the salon. Recently updated, the galley is fitted with beautiful new countertops that match those of the salon wet bar and the desk in the lower stateroom/office.

Guest accommodations are accessed via a staircase that leads below from the pilothouse. The VIP stateroom, midships, offers a large queen berth, vanity, and ensuite head. Forward, a single stateroom with built in desk also serves as an office. Directly across the passageway is a head that doubles as a day head. Forward in the bow, the third guest stateroom with ensuite head features a double berth and overhead single bunk.

The engine room with 6’6” headroom is bright, white, and clean with an excellent walk-in access. Full beam, it easily accommodates the Series 60 diesels, twin Westerbeke generators in sound shields, NAIAD stabilizers, and 12- and 110-volt lighting. The well-thought-out layout displayed throughout the yacht is evident in this space as well, making this space an easily serviceable and pleasurable work area.

DutchCraft 56

Dutch Craft 2019

An ocean of possibilities: World debut of the DutchCraft 56

– The world’s most capable 56-foot yacht now on the market

– Available in open and cabin versions

– Ultimate versatility and hassle-free life on the water

– World premiere at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival (berth TBC)

– In-house design and engineering – entirely made in Holland

– DutchCraft is the sister brand to Zeelander Yachts, owned by SG (b.v.)

The DutchCraft 56 is set to make its world debut at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival (September 10-15). The first ground-breaking model from the Dutch builder – which has dubbed it “ the world’s most capable 56-foot yacht ” – is the ideal vessel for owners seeking ultimate versatility.

The 17-metre DutchCraft 56 is everything from exploration platform, toy carrier and sports fisher to party boat, comfortable family cruiser and support vessel. Owners can rest easy knowing their yacht will take them anywhere, from hosting a stylish party in Miami to exploring remote islands in the South Pacific. The boat offers maximum recreational value combined with minimalist design and stress-free maintenance.

The vision for the yacht was born from the experiences of Sietse Koopmans , owner and founder of DutchCraft , while he cruised the world on his 37.8-meter (127-foot) explorer superyacht, Zeepaard .

“ During my travels I wondered, I spend money on my yacht; what do I want in return? ” commented Koopmans, who comes from a long family line of inland shipping business owners. “ I want to be able to invite all my friends, take them onboard to explore the world, have maximum recreational value and spend a minimal amount on maintenance. This becomes a pain in the neck after a while. Therefore, I was inspired to create the DutchCraft 56, the ultimate all-purpose yacht. One with which you can fish, dive, party, relax, explore and store an incredible amount toys. We purposefully tried to keep the design minimal and simplistic. The boat is hassle free and has low running cost. It’s the perfect vessel to facilitate all your pleasures. It is also available in a commercial version with Doen jets and 30,000-hour John Deere engines for all-day commuting or charter.”

A family-run business, DutchCraft is the sister brand to Zeelander Yachts, the renowned Netherlands-based builder of sports cruiser yachts with elegant profiles of classic New York fast commuters. Zeelanders have come to be known for their timeless style and extraordinary levels of comfort within their category. The expertise, craftsmanship and investment from Zeelander ’s building history naturally feeds into the design and construction of each DutchCraft boat, while giving the younger brand freedom to define itself in new ways.

THREE DECKS, COUNTLESS CHOICES

The DutchCraft 56 has a fresh, simple appeal with clean lines and a robust look that is supported by superior Dutch build quality and seaworthiness. A range of customizable deck features and layouts are available to clients.

When it comes to design and construction of its yachts, it is important to DutchCraft that they can be easily cleaned and maintained, not to mention that they have lower running costs than equivalents on the market. The ultimate aim: giving owners an “easy boating” experience , year after year. This can be seen in a range of details, from the composite deck (replacing high-maintenance teak) to extra-large storage lockers in easy-to-reach locations.

The spacious flybridge features a large dining table, with seating that converts to a large sun pad to the rear. There is a wet bar and double-width seating at the navigation station. The main deck has a further dining table, wet bar, double-width navigation station seating, and large sun pads on the foredeck for relaxed lounging at anchor or a thrilling perspective when underway. In total, there is seating for up to 36 guests on board.

On the lower deck, there is an accommodation for up to eight guests , including an ensuite full-beam master cabin.

The vast aft deck space by the waterline lends itself to all manner of uses, from fishing platform to socialising space to stowage place for toys and watercraft. To the sides of this deck area, two large benches conceal locker units that provide storage for watersports gear and other items, on a scale that is practically unheard of in this yacht size category.

TECHNICALLY OUTSTANDING

The DutchCraft 56 can reach top speeds of 40 knots , while still delivering a comfortable ride for guests thanks to a high-performance hull design that cuts through the water. The in-house design and engineering teams decided on a vinylester fibre glass resin material for the hull and superstructure, with a sandwich infusion construction and PVC core.

With an overall length of 17 meters (56.0 feet), the DutchCraft 56 has a beam of 5 meters (16.7 feet) and a draft of under 1 meter (3 feet) on its jet propulsion version, meaning practically limitless cruising in even shallow waters. Owners can choose between Volvo Penta IPS or Doen jet/John Deere engine propulsion system options.

Tiara Yachts Expands LS Line with Largest Outboard Model to Date, the 56 LS

Holland, Mich., (August 27, 2024)  -  Tiara Yachts , the family-owned manufacturer of American-made luxury watercrafts, announced today the addition of the 56 LS to its portfolio of Luxury Sport vessels. The largest and most ambitious of Tiara’s outboard models to date, the 56 LS will feature the sophisticated exterior and interior amenities the LS lineup is known for, while also offering the power of four Mercury Verado 600 V12 outboard engines.

“The Luxury Sport formula has been a successful one for Tiara, elevating the day yachting experience with versatile social zones and luxurious amenities. The 56 LS builds upon that foundation. Everything is amplified on this boat,” Tiara Yachts CEO, Tom Slikkers, said. “I’m confident our customers are going to be just as excited as we are about this addition to our portfolio.”

Tiara’s first quad engine outboard model, the 56 LS will have a top speed of 57 MPH, making it one of the fastest Tiara ever built. The integrated electronics package includes Garmin ®  Marine Navigation Systems.

The exterior of the 56 LS offers boaters several social spaces including a fully equipped galley that overlooks the aft cockpit. Two unique aft cockpit module options focused on entertaining or fishing allow each vessel to be customized. Port and starboard Hullside terraces expand the beam by more than six feet.

Below deck, two staterooms and two private heads can comfortably welcome five guests for overnight or extended stays.

“Our LS line has been a favorite of our customers and we're eager to showcase this new addition to our portfolio,” said Andrew Bartlett, Director of Design at Tiara.  “Our customers will find multiple features onboard that allow them to enjoy the water, entertain family and friends and comfortably stay overnight. As outboard models continue to have a resurgence in the boating industry, we’re excited to introduce another Tiara to the market.”

The launch of the 56 LS comes amidst several milestones for Tiara Yachts including:

·       The celebration of its  50 th  year of business

·       The launch of the newly  revamped 43 LE

·       The EX 54 being named a   Boating Industry  Top Product of 2024

The 56 LS will be debuting at the 2025 Miami International Boating Show.

Bluewater 56

Proven Frers design, built by the same yard that builds Outbound Yachts

The Bluewater 56 may look familiar to you, as it is the same proven Frers design that was originally developed for Hylas, of which 27 boats were built. Bluewater Yachts acquired the tooling and are now building them at the same yard that builds Outbound Yachts. In fact, hull #1 debuted as an Outbound 56 in the 2019 Annapolis Sailboat Show, and in December of 2020 hull #2 was commissioned which is now called the Bluewater 56.

The Bluewater 56 features a proper offshore bow entry and hull shape which deliver swiftness, power and stability, while maximizing space down below. There is more than ample room for a luxurious owner’s suite aft, beautifully finished in hand-chosen woods. Offshore comfort is further enhanced by the way the hulls are built, the Twaron aramid fiber yields “bullet-proof” strength for added safety.

Experienced sailors will appreciate this well behaved and easily driven yacht, not just for her speed but for the safety that comes with performance and control. This also reduces fatigue on offshore passages and ensure a well rested crew. Anyone who steps aboard the Bluewater 56 will also appreciate the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into building the boat, combined with the well thought out and spacious design ensures that time aboard is time well spent.

Divers find 5 bodies during search of superyacht wreckage after it sank off Sicily, 1 still missing

The bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) british-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early monday, by nicole winfield, danica kirka and andrea rosa | the associated press • published august 21, 2024 • updated on august 21, 2024 at 4:19 pm.

Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht  that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five passengers Wednesday and searched for one more as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed.

Rescue crews brought four body bags ashore into port at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said a fifth body had been located. Divers at the scene said they would try to recover it on Thursday while continuing the search for the sixth.

Missing revealed as divers search superyacht that sank in storm off Sicily

The discovery made clear the operation to search the hull on the seabed 50 meters (164 feet) underwater had quickly turned into a recovery one, not a rescue, given the amount of time that had passed and with no signs of life emerging over three days of searching.

The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm  early Monday  as it was moored about a kilometer (a half-mile) offshore. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Fifteen people escaped in a lifeboat and were rescued by a nearby sailboat. One body was recovered Monday — that of the ship’s chef, Recaldo Thomas, of Antigua.

Thomas was born in Canada, according to his cousin David Isaac, but would visit his parents’ homeland of Antigua as a child, moving permanently to the tiny eastern Caribbean island in his early 20s. Italian officials previously listed Antigua and Canada as the nationality of people on board.

The fate of six missing passengers had driven the search effort, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter and associates who had successfully defended him in a recent U.S. federal fraud trial.

Lynch’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Meanwhile, investigators from the Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor’s Office were acquiring evidence for their criminal investigation, which they opened immediately after the tragedy  even though no formal suspects have been publicly identified.

Questions have abounded about what caused the superyacht, built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, to sink so quickly, when the nearby Sir Robert Baden Powell sailboat was largely spared and managed to rescue the survivors.

Giovanni Costantino, head of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the shipmaker, blamed human error for the disaster, which he said took 16 minutes. “The ship sank because it took on water. From where, the investigators will say,” he told RAI state television after he met with prosecutors.

Costantino cited AIS ship tracking data which he said showed the Bayesian had taken on water for four minutes when a sudden gust of wind flipped it and it continued taking on water. The ship straightened up slightly and then went down, he said.

But was it merely the case of a freak waterspout that knocked the ship to its side and allowed water to pour in through open hatches? What was the position of the keel, which on a large sailboat like the Bayesian might have been retractable, to allow it to enter shallower ports?

“There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether it had a lifting keel and whether it might have been up,” said Jean-Baptiste Souppez, a fellow of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the editor of the Journal of Sailing Technology. “But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side,” he said in an interview.

The captain of the sailboat that came to the Bayesian’s rescue said his craft had sustained minimal damage — the frame of a sun awning broke — even with winds that he estimated reached 12 on the Beaufort wind scale, which is the highest hurricane-strength force on the scale.

He said he had remained anchored with his engines running to try to maintain the ship’s position as the storm, which was forecast, rolled in.

“Another possibility is to heave anchor before the storm and to run downwind at open sea,” Karsten Bornersaid in a text message. But he said that might not have been a viable option for the Bayesian, given its trademark 75-meter (246-foot) tall mast.

“If there was a stability problem, caused by the extremely tall mast, it would not have been better at open sea,” he said.

Yachts like the Bayesian are required to have watertight, sub-compartments that are specifically designed to prevent a rapid, catastrophic sinking even when some parts fill with water.

“So for the vessel to sink, especially this fast, you are really looking at taking water on board very quickly, but also in a number of locations along the length of the vessel, which again indicates that it might have been rolled over on its side,” Souppez said.

Italian coast guard and fire rescue divers continued the underwater search in dangerous and time-consuming conditions. Because of the wreck’s depth, which requires special precautions, divers working in tag teams could only spend about 12 minutes at a time searching, though reinforcements outfitted with special equipment to enable longer dives were also on the wreck Wednesday.

In all, some 27 divers were taking rotations, including four who helped with the recovery of the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster off Tuscany. They called the Porticello wreck a “little Concordia,” fire crews said in a statement, which for the first time Wednesday referred to the operation as a “recovery.”

The limited dive time was designed in part to avoid decompression sickness, also known as the “bends,” which can occur when divers stay underwater for long periods and ascend too quickly, allowing nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to form bubbles.

“The longer you stay, the slower your ascent has to be,” said Simon Rogerson, the editor of SCUBA magazine. He said the tight turnaround time suggested the operation's managers were trying to limit the risks and recovery time after each dive.

“It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said.

Additionally, the divers were working in extremely tight spaces, with debris floating around them, limited visibility and air tanks on their backs.

“We are trying to advance in tight spaces, but any single thing slows us down,” said Luca Cari, spokesman for the fire rescue service. “An electric panel could set us back for five hours. These aren’t normal conditions. We’re at the limit of possibility.”

“It’s not a question of entering the cabin to inspect it,” he added. “They’ve arrived at the level of the cabins, but it’s not like you can open the door.”

Mike Lynch: Captain Of Bayesian Yacht Declines To Talk

Respected captain of Bayesian yacht faces manslaughter charges, but refuses to answer questions over sinking

The legal fallout from the death of British tech entrepreneur and former Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch, his 18 year-old daughter, and five other people, has begun this week.

Italian authorities on Monday began a manslaughter and negligent shipwreck investigation of the captain of the super yacht Bayesian. Investigators are focusing on how a vessel deemed “unsinkable” by its manufacturer sank while a nearby sailing boat remained largely unscathed.

New Zealander James Cutfield, 51, was captain and in charge of the 10 man strong crew aboard the 56-meter (184-foot) sailing boat when it capsized during a sudden storm in the early hours of Monday 19 August, killing seven passengers , including Dr Mike Lynch.

Causes of sinking

The YouTube channel eSysman SuperYachts , whose host has over 2 decades of working on super yachts, has been expertly tracking and analysing the official investigation and the possible reasons for the sinking of the supposedly “unsinkable” vessel.

Possible causes reportedly being investigated is whether certain hatches or access doors were left open during the severe weather.

But as eSysman has pointed out in previous videos, this is likely prove difficult to establish as the crew (all of whom survived the sinking), were reportedly on deck getting outside items into cover indoors during the adverse weather event, (which may have required some doors, hatches to be opened).

The YouTube channel has also noted it is allegedly fairly commonly practice to run superyachts with a limited number of ship trained crew, putting pressure on all concerned.

Whilst the 10 person strong crew onboard the Bayesian may sound sufficient for the 12 guests – when crew members dealing with the guests such as cooks, cleaners, waitresses and other personnel are factored in, it often leaves a limited number of ship qualify personnel to actually handle the vessel.

It has also been alleged that it is very rare for rich yacht owners and their guests to take part in emergency evacuation exercises, which are commonly mandated by marine authorities.

Italian investigation

In the latest video update on the state of the investigation by the Italian authorities, eSysman quoted local media outlets as saying that on Tuesday expert kiwi captain James Cutfield (who is not in custody) pleaded “no contest” and declined to reply to questions from prosecutors.

“The captain exercised his right to remain silent for two fundamental reasons,” lawyer Giovanni Rizzuti was quoted as telling reporters in other media outlets . “First, he’s very worn out. Second, we were appointed only on Monday and for a thorough and correct defence case we need to acquire a set of data that at the moment we don’t have.”

Other media outlets have also reported that two British crew members have also been questioned.

It is reported that ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton and sailor Matthew Griffith are being investigated over allegedly failing to protect the yacht’s engine room and operating systems.

Salvage crews are expected to raise the Bayesian in the coming weeks. After the yacht is raised, investigators will determine if the hatches were open during the storm.

Italian prosecutors will also investigate whether the ship’s chief mate was on the bridge when the ship sunk, and if anyone tried to warn the passengers of imminent danger.

Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group (owner of the flagship brand Perini Navi), last week blamed the Bayesian’s crew for the “incredible mistake” of not being prepared for the storm, which had been announced in shipping forecasts.
