Yacht Installation
chairs to complement the ebony and teak floors. Williams also re-
quested the same satin wood veneer be used on the built-in end tables,
so Cole laid the veneers on oversized sheets of plywood and shipped
them to the Ta Shing Yacht Building Co., Ltd. in Tainan, Taiwan.
The dining table is secured to the deck to keep it from moving about
in inclement weather. To accomplish this, antique rug specialist Mi-
chael Andonian of Andonian Rugs in Seattle traveled to Dana Point,
California, where the yacht was being completed, to cut openings and
properly bind the edges so the securing cables are as unnoticeable as
possible. Cole was concerned during the installation process that the
dining area would be too cramped due to the amount of furniture in
the small space, but discovered after installation that this was not the
case. He notes, “The traffic flow throughout the interior works very
well.” The cocktail table was also custom-designed by Cole and built
by Gallahar. It features leather-upholstered ottomans that stow below
it and is secured in the same manner as the dining table.
Cole added other details to make this feel like a true period boat,
including Botticino marble countertops, accent stone tiles on the back-
splashes and shower floors that color-coordinate with the stateroom’s
fabric colors, carved-glass, backlit sinks in the heads and leaded glass
cabinet doors in the kitchen.
The master stateroom contains a 32-inch plasma television that is
concealed by framed artwork that rolls up at the touch of a button.
The Williamses purchased the rights to this particular painting by a
Northwest artist so that Media Décor could print it on a canvas that
rolls up. Cole selected a palette of red, gold and green fabrics for the
master stateroom while the couple selected a painting that featured
mainly reds and blues. Roberta asked her husband Ken to change the
blue boat colors to green so they could keep the painting in the room.
The winner: With great attention to detail, Cole transformed a new
yacht interior constructed with composites and high-tech materials
into a masterpiece that looks like a classic 1920s yacht. Thrilled with
their new yacht, the Williamses named it Sans Souci, which is French
for ‘without worry or care.’ With such a meticulously crafted vessel,
it’s easy to see that both Cole and the Williamses have won this yacht
design game.
