Remember When
by Christensen Shipyards and Carol Williamson & Associates

W
ith each characteristic perfectly designed and produced using the
best materials and components, this yacht’s superior quality is
evident in the uncompromising standard of excellence of its
construction. Its interiors are in a classic style with a modern,
contemporary key, and, here too, utter perfection is the result.
Initially known provisionally as “Nice ‘N’ Easy II”, or by its code which was used
throughout the construction process, the motor yacht has finally been christened
with the evocative name Remember When. It’s a very special boat for a very special
client, one who has come to Christensen Shipyards as a repeat customer: the
automotive company tycoon John Rosatti, to whom the American shipyard built his
last yacht Nice N’ Easy, 157 feet in length, in 2005.
Last spring saw the launch of Remember When, 162 feet in length, which was built
and floated by Christensen Shipyards, based in Vancouver, Washington State. After
delivery, Remember When completed its maiden voyage in the Pacific Ocean with
Rosatti and his family aboard, sailing down the west coast of the US then along the
coasts of Mexico and Costa Rica. ➢

the yacht’s excellent design,
both Owner and guests have
at their disposal large
interior volumes and
generous exterior surfaces.

The vessel stopped at the Galapagos Islands before sailing through the Panama Canal
and into the Gulf of Mexico to end its journey in Florida. Remember When then
crossed the Atlantic Ocean and spent the summer season in the waters of the
Mediterranean. In autumn, it sailed back to the US and returned to Florida for its
official debut at the quayside at the 51st Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
A full portrait of Remember When is featured in the current issue 18 of Yacht
Première.
The main dimensional and technical data

A general overview of the motor yacht

The exterior of Remember When has a precise finish produced using AwlGrip paints,
which add a coherent finishing touch to the pleasing aesthetics of a motor yacht
designed using extremely advanced procedures and built with highly technological
processes. As a result of its careful design and construction in composite material, the
boat has a gross tonnage value below 500 GT: for a yacht of this length and size,
remaining below this limit is especially significant as this element is currently an
increasingly decisive part of the specific commercial evaluation within the overall
management profile of a motor yacht. Christensen Shipyards have worked carefully
to perfect Remember When in every respect, completing its every feature with
uncompromising building excellence of the highest quality.
The best materials and ideal components for a vessel in this category have been used
so that it can be sailed in total tranquillity and complete security. With its exterior
design, devised as usual by Christensen Shipyards’ in-house team, the aesthetic
image of Remember When is that of an elegant motor yacht with classic shapes and
modern lines. The hull has dynamic, soaring lines, harmoniously melded with the
external decks of the superstructure, giving the motor yacht a sporty appearance
while simultaneously emanating a sense of solid grandeur.
Remember When’s spacious interior layout accommodates up to 12 / 14 passengers
in four large guest staterooms and the vast VIP suite, as well as the magnificent
Owner’s suite. It also accommodates up to 9 / 10 crew in four comfortable crew
cabins and a comfortable captain’s cabin. On board Remember When, the Owner
and his guests enjoy complete privacy, partly thanks to the separate accommodation
and accessways for the crew that have been designed to allow them to work
efficiently without intruding, even accidentally.
The outstanding design means that the Owner and his guests have very large interior
spaces available to them and similarly large external areas, thanks to a carefully
designed layout across all four decks of the motor yacht. Remember When’s interior
design is the work of the US firm Carol Williamson & Associates. ➢

Remember When
The particularly warm and
welcoming fittings are imbued
throughout with a decidedly
elegant feel and engender an
extremely relaxing atmosphere.
The luxurious beauty of the interiors is reminiscent of a mansion house and has a
noble formal image with a sophisticated, clearly classical inspiration. Nonetheless,
by using modern furniture and decorative elements from various periods in the past
century, the classic inspiration of the overall look has been exquisitely interpreted in
a contemporary way, without strain and in total harmony. Remember When’s
furnishings are particularly warm and welcoming, imbued with utterly refined
elegance throughout and pervaded by an extremely relaxing atmosphere.
At the Owner’s specific request, Remember When’s interiors were created as a new,
updated version of the interiors made for Rosatti’s previous motor yacht, Nice ‘N’
Easy. Remember When’s interiors are characterised by extensive use of high-gloss
Black Walnut wood for both the wall coverings and the fixed furniture. Both the
furnishings and the decoration are based on a sophisticated, sober and serene style
with a coherent, balanced arrangement, using precious materials such as the varieties
of marble used in virtuoso inlays. The impeccable level of quality and perfect
finishing are also clearly apparent in Remember When’s luxurious, exclusive
interiors, with attention to the tiniest detail of the woodwork and stonework,
unequivocally showing the huge experience and masterly skills of Christensen
Shipyards’ in-house staff. On the other hand, every element of Remember When’s
fittings is completely state-of-the-art, not just in terms of production of the
furnishings but also in terms of the technical and technological equipment.
To ensure that the Owner and guests always enjoy the best possible conditions when
staying on the motor yacht, there is an air conditioning plant by CruiseAir with
climatic worldwide cruising capability, which provides climate control not only for
the interiors, but also for the main external areas on the aft decks. ➢
