Sirena Hull Design

GERMAN FRERS

When Eyachts decide to take on a new brand in our portfolio we are always looking for a cutting edge design and research the designer to ensure they are reputable and trusted. In the case of Sirenas hull design the team were immediately drawn to the sailors philosophy…

Frers Naval Architecture & Engineering design office life spans for almost a century, since 1925, when Germán Frers Sr. started his career in Buenos Aires and proceeded to design nearly 600 yachts of all types for the South American clientele. Frers designs gained fame during forays to Europe and North America, winning prizes in the RORC races in Europe and Bermuda Race in the USA.

Germán, his son, took charge of the office in 1970, after returning from a training period in the USA working with Olin and Rod Stephens at their office in New York, and expanded the business and racing successes to the rest of the world.

More than 1300 designs have been produced to date by the company based in Buenos Aires. Furthermore, Frers yachts have won every major trophy around the world including the Admiral´s Cup, Bermuda Race, Transpac, Whitbread Round the World Race, SORC, Kenwood Cup, San Francisco Big Boat Series, the Two Ton Cup, Maxi World Championships, ILC championships, Louis Vuitton Cup on two occasions, among others.

The third generation, Germán “Mani” Frers joined the studio in Milan in 1992, after graduating from the Southampton Institute and today continues with the tradition working from Milan independently. He’s involved on all the aspects of each design, from hull lines, to appendages, aesthetics, sail and structure. Germán is frequently traveling to meet clients and sail our design around the world

Frers has been at the cutting technological edge of the sport during all this time. The latest computer solutions are used at the studio, like Siemens NX 3D CAD, FEA and CFD while extensive tank-testing programs are developed to further optimize power and sail hull forms.

The technology supports the knowledge and deep understanding of boats which are only present after decades of sailing and design experience.

Axopar Owner Review: Four Boats Later, Here’s Why this Gold Coast Boater Keeps Coming Back

David and Melissa O’Connor, owners of an Axopar 37 Cross Cabin and now a four-time Axopar owners, have experienced just about every side of the brand. From two Axopar 28s to an Axopar 37 Sun Top and now the Cross Cabin, David says each boat has reinforced why he continues to choose Axopar for his family’s adventures on the Gold Coast.

“It’s an all weather boat, and it’s a fast boat. We can zip up to Tangalooma or Peel Island and go a little bit further than most Gold Coast boaties. It’s its ability to go fast and be economical, and I just love the look of it.”

Axopar 25 Review: Why This 25 Foot Boat Is the Perfect Adventure Companion

Connor, owner of an Axopar 25, has discovered that great adventures don’t require a big boat. From overnight stays and offshore whale watching to entertaining the largest crew at an owners event, the Axopar 25 has proven to be the perfect all-rounder for his lifestyle.

“The 25 is perfect. We can sleep on it, still fit plenty of people, and it’s probably one of the only boats I’ve had where you can take it out in messy conditions and everyone stays dry and comfortable. It’s the most versatile, perfect little boat for us.”
