Evroniani, una necrorecensione16 GIU 2021

Nel 1996 Paperinik esiste già da ventisette anni. Oltre cinque lustri, nel corso dei quali ha cambiato volto diverse volte: è stato un vendicatore mascherato, un eroico avventuriero, un paladino dell’ecologismo. Ha affrontato e sconfitto Gastone, Zio Paperone, i Bassotti, Rockerduck, Spectrus, Inquinator. Nelle storie brasiliane fa stabilmente parte di un gruppo di supereroi comprendente Paper Bat, Super Pippo e Super Gilberto. Un pugno di addetti ai lavori ritiene però che l’alter egosupereroistico di Paperino creato da Guido Martina nel 1969 possieda ancora delle potenzialità non sfruttate.

Da un po’, sulle testate Disney italiane è in atto una piccola rivoluzione silenziosa. A partire dal 1994 Max Monteduro si sbizzarrisce con la grafica delle copertine di Topomistery e Paperinik e altri supereroi. Alberto Lavoradori, in un trittico di splendide storie sceneggiate da Rudy Salvagnini, porta un po’ di Hans Giger sulle pagine di Topolino. Sul mensile Minni & Company si sperimenta la pentacromia. Sotto la guida del Direttore Paolo Cavaglione e del responsabile area artistica Ezio Sisto, il mondo Disney si apre pian piano alle contaminazioni e accoglie in seno molti giovani artisti, gran parte dei quali formatisi nella prestigiosa Accademia diretta da Roberto Santillo.

Come scrisse Victor Hugo, «il Domani compie irresistibilmente la propria opera, e la comincia Oggi», per dire che il rinnovamento grafico e narrativo del personaggio creato da Martina nel lontano (oggi lontanissimo) 1969 è certamente nell’aria. Nella fucina di idee nota come “Progetto PK” vengono coinvolti subito i disegnatori Corrado Mastantuono, Stefano Intini e Alberto Lavoradori e lo sceneggiatore veterano Alessandro Sisti, che dovrebbe ricoprire il ruolo di headwriter della nuova serie.

Uno studio di Lavoradori per i nuovi nemici di Paperinik

Ispirandosi a Giger, al surrealismo organico di Kubin e ai “colori morti” di Oelze, Lavoradori crea gli Evoniani, nemici principali della serie; poco per volta nascono anche il genio Everett Ducklair e le intelligenze artificiali Uno, Due e Tre, la giornalista Clarissa e il teleoperatore Camera 9, il cronista d’assalto Angus Fangus, il Razziatore, il preistorico Urk, i mutanti Xadhoom, Guardia n. 246 ed Esperimento Abominio. Abbandonati la 313-X e gli stivaletti a molla, si assegnano a Paperinik una specie di bislunga “Pkmobile” e uno scudo ipertecnologico, una sorta di enorme e scomodo catafalco di metallo. In una prima fase gli Evoniani hanno dimensioni variabili (alcuni sono addirittura… tascabili!) ma aspetto identico fra loro e un colore tra il marroncino e il verde; Sisti cambierà loro nome in “Evroniani” e le loro proporzioni diverranno più uniformi.

Si definisce il mondo in cui Paperinik, rinominato “PK”, si troverà a vivere. Fioccano nel frattempo le tavole di prova, si studia una nuova disposizione delle vignette e Cavaglione ordina dei colori speciali dal Canada. Il formato della nuova testata sarà simile a quello degli spillati americani. Marco Ghiglioneelabora tre versioni diverse della copertina del primo numero. Nasce la redazione di PKNA, comprendente nomi come Sisto stesso e Monteduro (responsabili del progetto editoriale), Simone Stenti (detto “Il Sommo”) nel ruolo di coordinatore del progetto, Valentina De Poli, Francesco Artibani, Claudio Sciarrone, Stefano Intini: una forma embrionale del successivo PK Team. Anni dopo, qualcuno definirà quelle del PK Team “delle specie di riunioni di condominio”: c’è grande fermento, fioccano idee, si definiscono mondi e personaggi.

Evroniani, il numero 0 della serie Paperinik New Adventures, vede la luce nel marzo 1996. Il soggetto è firmato a quattro mani da Ezio Sisto e Alessandro Sisti (il ruolo del collaboratore di Cavaglione nella definizione di personaggi, trama e atmosfere è innegabile), mentre la sceneggiatura è del solo Sisti; i disegni sono ovviamente di Alberto Lavoradori, demiurgo dei bellicosi abitanti di Evron. Lo spillato conta 84 pagine totali, misura quanto un fumetto americano, costa 3.300 lire. La copertina, disegnata da Ghiglione, continua nel retro e presenta qualche imprecisione prospettica ma forse proprio per questo risulta incredibilmente affascinante. Il titolo della storia sbuca da un finto strappo sul lato destro. I colori di Monteduro sono meravigliosi.

La fine di Xerba

Già come oggetto, nella propria materialità, Evroniani è qualcosa di mai visto prima. Alto quanto un comic book ma più spesso, con un fascino gotico e inquietante che rimanda forse alle pubblicazioni Image, con la propria estetica generosa e i materiali di eccezionale qualità, il numero 0 trascina il lettore Disney in un campo da gioco completamente diverso rispetto a ciò cui è abituato. Il contenuto non è da meno.

Introdotta da una breve prefazione che, più che spiegare, aggiunge ulteriore mistero al tutto, la prima avventura pikappica comincia con cinque tavole mute, esperimento rimasto un unicum nella serie e nel fumetto Disney in generale. Ci troviamo sul pianeta Xerba il giorno dell’invasione. Le architetture aliene ricordano certi scenari alla Moebius. È una notte chiara: uno sciame di astronavi dal becco di papero cala dal cielo. Gli Evroniani, ora di un deciso colore viola, sbarcano armi in pugno a bordo di avveniristici dischi individuali e sparano a tutto ciò che si muove.

Hanno corpi a triangolo rovesciato, speroni alle zampe simili ad alettoni, un simbolo celeste sul petto e inquietanti serbatoi alloggiati sulle spalle. Il loro design ricorda molto l’Alien di Giger, che Lavoradori ha già trasportato nell’universo Disney nella storia Paperino e la nube cosmica; la tecnologia organica pare rimandare invece al body horror di Cronenberg. Sono feroci e inarrestabili. Le strutture xerbiane vengono invase e fatte saltare in aria, il pianeta ormai deserto viene colonizzato; a pagina 5 un personaggio in penombra, che in futuro conosceremo come Xadhoom ma che per ora ha ancora l’aspetto della dottoressa Xado, grida il suo “Noooo” disperato. E la storia può cominciare.

Torniamo sulla Terra. Ci troviamo a Paperopoli, precisamente di fronte agli studi di 00 Channel dove vengono registrati gli episodi di una soap opera intitolata Patemi. La città dei paperi ripensata da Lavoradori è una metropoli oscura, dai muri sbrecciati, simile per certi versi alla Gotham City di Batman. L’attricetta Paperilla Starry decide di evitare i fan assatanati sbucando da un’uscita secondaria, senza sapere che ciò la esporrà a un’aggressione. Come prevedibile, la star della TV viene rapidamente raggiunta dal paladino della città: un perplesso Paperinik si ritrova così a fronteggiare due misteriosi individui dalla testa avvolta in una sorta di fiamma azzurrina e dotati di strani poteri.

Per la prima volta in ventisette anni di onorata carriera le armi realizzate da Archimede risultano inutili e i due aggressori si ritirano a bordo di un disco individuale evroniano solo perché impreparati ad affrontare imprevisti. Abbiamo qui un Paperinik ancora fallibile, dubbioso e impaurito: anche nell’aspetto Lavoradori lo caratterizza similmente alle sue avventure classiche, tondeggiante nelle forme e comicamente espressivo, quasi un elemento estraneo rispetto ai grattacieli longilinei e agli eleganti alieni viola che presto sarà chiamato a sconfiggere.

Lontano, nello spazio aperto, l’ufficiale Agron si ritrova a fare rapporto al suo “Sublime Superiore”, il generale Zondag nella sua prima versione, qui molto diverso da come apparirà nel successivo Ombre su Venere: si mostra ai lettori attraverso uno schermo, alto e magro, con occhi stretti a fessura e il corpo agile avvolto nelle spire di una lunghissima coda. Incollerito, dal becco del generale si diparte un inedito balloon nero con testo in bianco, un’altra piccola innovazione pikappica. All’interno dell’astronave prevalgono elementi tondeggianti alla Hans Bellmer, con una pavimentazione composta da miriadi di semisfere irregolari simili a grottesche escrescenze che ricordano le strutture di Luna LV-276 del film Alien: Scontro finale, o la segmentazione interna dell’intestino di uno xenomorfo.

I soliti vecchi Paperi? La solita vecchia Paperopoli?

Il giorno dopo si verificano due eventi significativi per Paperino: prima scopre che Brad Van Beck, un attore del cast di Patemi è stato sostituito dal collega Sean Leduck; poi, viene assunto da Zio Paperone come custode di un edificio da lui recentemente acquistato, la Ducklair Tower. Abbiamo qui inoltre un rarissimo – per quanto velato – riferimento alla morte in un fumetto Disney.

Il design della Ducklair Tower (da qui in avanti DT) desta ancora oggi meraviglia. Altissima e caratterizzata da una decorazione superiore palesemente gigeriana, il suo ingresso è rappresentato da una sorta di “bocca” di metallo polimorfo nero: i pavimenti lucidi e le apparecchiature tonde piene di spie e pulsanti richiamano l’interno di un’astronave. Dal momento in cui Paperino scopre nella DT un piano aggiuntivo rispetto ai centocinquanta dichiarati, gli eventi si susseguono senza lasciare respiro al lettore.

Facciamo la conoscenza di Angus, kiwi giornalista certamente ispirato a J. Jonah Jameson, Lyla Lay (in origine Clarissa) e Camera 9, teleoperatore che indossa un’armatura praticamente identica alla bardatura dell’alieno protagonista del mediometraggio Swiss Made 2069 di Giger e Fredi M. Murer. Nel cosiddetto “Piano segreto” Paperinik incontra Uno, l’intelligenza artificiale che dirige la DT e che diverrà il suo alleato più importante nella lotta contro gli alieni – il suo volto sintetico, di un rassicurante color verdino, è la versione ingentilita del viso del suo creatore, Everett Ducklair.

Scopriamo le mire e la storia del pianeta Evron (sono stati ovviamente loro a far sparire Brad Van Beck) e, in un momento di altissima tensione, assistiamo alla trasformazione di Sean Leduck in un Coolflame, come vengono chiamati gli schiavi degli Evroniani. Da qui in poi Paperinik, ormai lentamente maturato in PK, sarà perfettamente padrone della situazione. Dal punto (è proprio il caso di dirlo) di vista estetico il passaggio da Paperinik al supereroe planetario è denunciato anche dalla presenza del punto nei dialoghi, in luogo dell’onnipresente e disneyano punto esclamativo. Come a dire che ora si fa sul serio.

«Momenti disperati richiedono misure disperate», e un PK armato di uno scudo Extransformer dalle linee più semplici, una elegante lastra di metallo con elementi in nero e celeste, saprà farsi onore durante il party di Patemi organizzato su una terrazza della DT, ove si consumerà lo scontro finale con Agron. In questa lunga sequenza d’azione, Lavoradori dimostra di essere uno strepitoso “regista”. A pagina 59 gestisce numerosi elementi scenici con dinamismo e chiarezza, le inquadrature inclinate di pagina 62 con lo scudo che corre in direzione del lettore sono arte pura.

Ritroveremo l’ufficiale evroniano in Ombre su Venere e uscirà definitivamente di scena quando il generale Zondag stanco dei suoi insuccessi lo “spazzerà via”; ma per ora Agron si limita a ritirarsi meditando vendetta. Terminato lo scontro, il regista Sam Plot si risveglia spontaneamente dalla coolflamizzazione, PK fa la conoscenza di Lyla (che avrà un ruolo sempre maggiore nelle avventure successive) e si ritira dopo aver negato agli astanti una spiegazione esaustiva di tutto l’accaduto.

Una nuova costruzione della tavola, al servizio del regista Lavoradori

«Non siamo nei vostri tele-polpettoni, dove tutto si chiarisce nel gran finale!» dichiara – ipocritamente, se vogliamo tener conto della sua infantile passione per gli stessi tele-polpettoni che sta criticando – un PK dall’espressione cupa e determinata. Si tratta forse anche di un momento di riflessione metanarrativa sulle convenzioni del fumetto comico, in cui tutto si risolve e si ristabilisce ogni volta lo status quo. PKNA è diverso, sembra gridare a gran voce il nostro eroe. E infatti.

Dei vari finali alternativi presi in considerazione da Sisti e Sisto per chiudere il numero 0 viene scelto forse il meno consolatorio: PK, distrutto, va a dormire ma gli Evroniani sono tutt’altro che sconfitti e solcano i cieli di Paperopoli a bordo di caccia classe F. L’avventura è appena cominciata, come dimostrano anche le numerose pagine di approfondimento in cui si accenna al Razziatore, alla Cittadella Imperiale Evroniana, a Xadhoom e ad altri elementi che rappresentano la punta dell’iceberg della complessa operazione di worldbuilding che precedette l’uscita di Evroniani.

Come volume in sé, esulando da confronti con capolavori che lo avrebbero seguito, il numero 0 si caratterizza per una sceneggiatura dotata di elevata tensione narrativa, un sottile rimpiattino fra umorismo e inquietudine e alcune battute memorabili («Quando il gioco si fa duro… io vorrei essere da un’altra parte!»). Sisti rende benissimo la progressiva trasformazione di Paperinik nella sua versione 2.0, concentrando i momenti di alleggerimento nella prima metà: per sua stessa ammissione e a differenza di autori intervenuti successivamente, lo sceneggiatore lombardo non ha mai inteso distaccarsi del tutto dal “tono Disney”, come dimostra anche la presenza di Zio Paperone in questa e in altre sue sceneggiature pikappiche. Fino all’incontro con Uno, Paperinik è ancora in parte il nostro amichevole papero mascherato di quartiere. Tuttavia, a pagina 67, Paperinik sceglie un’uscita di scena degna di un teatrante esperto e il suo sguardo è quello di un papero sempre più sicuro di sé. La necessaria trasformazione in super eroe “vero” e adulto è accaduta quasi senza che ce ne accorgessimo.

Del character design e della regia di Lavoradori si potrebbe discutere per ore. Al netto dei debiti che l’artista veneto ha contratto con i surrealisti e con gli xenomorfi della saga di Alien, gli Evroniani restano una delle invenzioni migliori del fumetto italiano degli ultimi anni. I figli di Evron nella loro versione definitiva sono creature terrificanti. Privi di collo e di pupille, implacabili membri di un impero stellare di parassiti emozionali: un popolo di colonizzatori senza pietà totalmente devoto all’imperativo biologico della propagazione della specie.

Le sezioni a tubo o a sfera si ispirano agli ambienti di Alien, come la Camera del Pilota

Vivono su Evron, un mondo-arca vagante, idea che ricorda un po’ Il giorno dell’invasione di Larry Niven e Jerry Pournelle, la saga dei Condannati di Messina di Ben Bova, Orfani del cielo di Robert A. Heinlein o, perché no, l’isola Laputa ideata da Jonathan Swift. In parte animali e in parte vegetali, gli Evroniani sono tendenzialmente privi di emozioni proprie e si nutrono di quelle altrui, che assimilano tramite Evrongun e che immagazzinano temporaneamente nei serbatoi che portano sulle spalle. Per certi versi la loro società ricorda quella dell’antico Egitto, ma la rigida suddivisione in caste rimanda alla cultura indù o anche, come di recente dichiarato da Sisti, agli insetti sociali come api e formiche.

In termini di gestione della tavola il disegnatore “gioca” con vignette lunghe, a incastro, a novanta gradi, e fa spesso uso della profondità di campo. Spesso, quando la tensione narrativa richiede un tono più cupo, il bordo tavola è colorato di nero. Memorabili alcune tavole, come quella in cui Paperinik viene “divorato” dal gargoyle (rifacimento di una tavola di prova realizzata da Mastantuono) o alcune soluzioni come la vignetta di pagina 40 in cui ha inizio la spiegazione di Agron: l’ufficiale inizia il proprio racconto tenendo alta la mano destra, dietro di lui la fiammella azzurra che sprigiona dalla testa di Sam Plot sembra circondare anche la mano di Agron. Meravigliosamente inquietante.

L’impatto del numero 0 di PKNA sull’immaginario collettivo è difficilmente valutabile. Se non avesse avuto successo, la serie non sarebbe probabilmente mai decollata e non sarebbero nati prodotti successivi basati su un simile afflato rivoluzionario, come W.I.T.C.H. o Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine. Ma questo successo l’ha avuto eccome e, nonostante il PK Team non esista più e Disney abbia rinunciato agli spillati inediti, gli Evroniani sono più vivi e cattivi che mai, oggi come venticinque anni fa.

PK è attualmente protagonista di centodiciannove albi, considerando anche la celebrativa Una leggendaria notte qualunque sceneggiata da Alessandro Sisti e il crossover con DoubleDuck. Non si contano gli spin-off, le parodie e i camei, alcuni dei quali presenti in fumetti non-Disney. Un ricco merchandising è tuttora in circolazione e molto ambito dai collezionisti. Oggi PK viene costantemente ristampato ed è oggetto di un’interessante riscoperta critica. Nuovi e vecchi autori si occupano di realizzare archi narrativi inediti, mentre nuovi nemici si aggiungono all’immenso cast pikappico.

Il fenomeno PK pare ancora destinato a procedere senza fermarsi mai. Parafrasando Victor Hugo potremmo dire «il Domani compie irresistibilmente la propria opera e l’ha cominciata Ieri», vale a dire nei rutilanti anni Novanta in cui una manciata di artisti concepì e realizzò quelle cinque, assurde tavole mute ambientate sul pianeta Xerba.

yeah i have had a lot of trouble with people not understanding that child alters cannot be directly compared with actual children. the example being fakeclaimed is a child alter being “too small” but i think the opposite happens too. we have a headmate who is 16 but definitely possesses the mental and emotional maturity of an adult; he is stuck at 16 bc that’s when his trauma occurred but it doesnt mean he should be treated like an actual minor. ive also seen examples of littles who are sexual alters/handle sexual trauma and i think a lot of singlets don’t know what to do with that despite it being very common. i think people really need to trust systems themselves to determine what their headmates are capable of. trying to fit them into the boxes of real life children is more likely to do more harm than good.

stop fakeclaiming child alters just because they aren't "accurate"

below is a comment found on a popular subreddit that fakeclaims dissociative and posttraumatic experiences. in this comment, they are referring to people with dissociative identity disorder and similar disorders who have "littles" which is a common community term for alters that present as children. if you are not familiar with child alters, please refer to this professional's explanation.

you can also find more information on how alters might present as different ages here. please stay informed!

as you can see in this comment, this person is criticizing how child alters type or speak because it's not accurate when comparing them to real life children. what they don't seem to understand is that child alters are not the same as real life children (howell, 2011, pp.60-61). they are part of a mental health disorder. and while child alters are often more vulnerable & traumatized then older alters, it's actually counter-therapeutic to treat them like they're no different from real life children (shusta-hochberg, 2004).

child alters are very similar to the concept of an inner child. your inner child is a part of you that preserves the things you remember, learned, fantasized about, and felt when you were a child. child alters are very similar to that, except they're more disconnected. dissociative processes involve them taking control of the body and acting independently.

child alters are often more limited than the adult alters...they "may not be able to tell the time, hold a pen and write, and they may only use and comprehend very simple language. these assets become even weaker when survivors become very afraid, angry, or ashamed" (van der Hart et al., 2006, pg.138). it is extremely common for trauma survivors to regress to a child-like state at times, even for people without child alters.

no matter how child-like someone becomes, if they are adult-bodied then they are not an actual child. the way a child alter acts or talks may be inhibited but is rarely fully "accurate."

it makes no sense to criticize an adult for...not being a child?

one of my alters is an infant. that infant alter is still able to type and communicate, although in a more limited way. they know how to unlock our phone & how to contact someone during emergencies. they don't write or talk very well, but they still know how to do it. if young alters had to act "accurately", i would be unable to communicate or understand phones or walk or stand up or even eat solid foods when that alter fronted. this alter fronting could end up killing us, so i would probably need a caregiver 24/7.

that isn't how things work, though. i'm an adult with a mental disorder, not a shapeshifter. the lack of compassion and critical thinking that some people extend to neurodivergency and trauma survivors is heartbreaking.

please stay educated on mental health! please don't fakeclaim someone just because their child alters aren't "accurate."

What a delightful surprise he has when Will answers with his own murder. (Of course Will hasn't told anyone that all the dead corpses appearing are due to the Ripper and him courting and Jack thinks Will could never murder anyone due to the breakdown he fakes when he kills criminals on cases) - mafia Hannibal x Will - Will meets Hannibal for the first time without his encephalitis an it takes him about two second to realize the man in front of him is not only a killer but The Cheasapeake Ripper.

Cue Merlin awkwardly telling him that Harry is not dead and was on the computer watching the scene.

And Wade realizes that oh shit it's the real Spidey and he's so fuckin cute. Merthur - future au where both Merlin and Arthur are reincarnated with their memories and they meet again... While Arthur is the leader of the Round Table, the most feared mafia in England. Cue everyone with no memories of the past being so confused about why their big bad boss is so nice to this random guy who actually called him a prat. Tomarry - young Harry, after being beaten, gets teleported to the future in the middle of a battle with old Harry and Voldemort. Old Harry and Voldemort call a truce as old Harry heals young Harry as he knows exactly where all his wounds are- you don't forget the day the word Freak was engraved on you. Dumbledore tries to attack young Harry hence the truce since all magical children are precious, the only reason it was remotely acceptable for Voldemort to attack Harry was because of the prophecy. When young Harry wakes up, Voldemort finds out that this abused boy is Potter and when the child recognizes him as Tom it is revealed that Dumbledore obliviated him of his childhood memories and that he is a horcrux. - Tom and Harry love each other even if they won’t admit it and are, technically, enemies.

But Tom isn't quite sure that it s all lies and there's just something about Harry that draws him in. Danny Fenton x Danny Phantom - Danny was supposed to be an omega, but every ghosts are alphas. So, his human and ghost half came to an agreement and he becomes a beta. Cue Fenton and Phantom being separated and gaining their true classification and all they want is to be one again... But not necessarily to be the same person. Peter Pan - Abused Peter Pan who treats Hook like shit because he thinks that the pirate will be like all the adults he's ever known and by the time he realizes that Hook isn't like the others he's suceeded in making the pirate hate him. What happens when Hook finds out why Peter acted like an arrogant brat with him? Batman - Damian gets kidnapped and Bruce saying that he please doesn't kill him and when the kidnapper says he won't Bruce says he was talking to Damian. Random Prompt Ideas - Villains being protective of their hero. Ex: there's this new villain and he hurts the hero (The Flash, Harry Potter) and their villain (Len/Mick, Voldemort) get pissed and hurt the new villain saying that they're the only ones allowed to hurt the hero. - Villain finds out that the hero is a kid and suddenly becomes overprotective. Villain is like, "You're a kid, you should be doing homework. Go hang out with your friends." And just being a mother hen while the hero is like, "I'm a hero. Stop coddling me, I can take care of myself." - Villain is an abused teen whose parents are influential people, all his 'evil' plans were attempts to get rid of them. One day, the hero finds out when he attacks the villain and notices certain bruises and cuts that he most certainly didn't put on him. After all, what kind of hero would carve the word 'trash' into someone?

Note

its because they assume that being an anti is the default and that proshippers are fringe “freaks”. everyone should just already know that proshippers are gross and unwanted

Antis really need to make their dni’s more obvious. Like- i have that im proship in my bio and someone interracted and they just had “minors dni” on their main so i interacted back only to later find a sneaky hidden link to an “about me and my fandoms!” Page to THEN find in tiiiiiiny letters a “btw proshippers dni” like- ???????????

Back when I haven't had tags like "proship dni" "anti proship" blocked, they showed up in regular proship tag and I kept seeing people complaining that proshippers interacted with them but they had no "proshippers dni" in their bio.

Inside J Class yacht Svea what it's really like to race on board the newest member of the fleet

Toby Hodges sails the newest J Class yacht, Svea, and finds an elegant J crossed with a modern maxi grand prix yacht. Photos by Carlo Borlenghi

J Class Svea

Svea, the newest addition to the now nine-strong J Class fleet, is one of the most outstanding new yachts of modern times a harmonious meeting of historic and modern design; a blend of J Class lines and maxi grand prix yacht technology.

What follows will hopefully explain why she is the ultimate modern J; why her design and engineering had to be fast-tracked yet still produced such formidable results, and, crucially, why the other six Js and their 200 professional crewmembers racing in Bermuda this June were right to be worried about their new competition.

youtube

Svea's build programme has been unrelenting since her American owner bought the bare aluminium hull two years ago. A serial yacht owner and experienced racer, his sights were firmly set on the J Class regatta in Bermuda.

This is the biggest year for the J Class since they raced for the America's Cup in the 1930s.

The first time six Js raced together was in St Barth in March, but when Svea joins the fleet in Bermuda, it will be the first time seven have lined up. But for that to happen Svea had to take shape fast.

It was just 17 months from signing the contract to her delivery a race-ready superyacht prepared to sail across the Atlantic to her first race, just as the original Js were designed to do.

Svea arrived in Palma in March to start sea trials and race training. I was invited aboard in late April for what turned out to be the last day of race training and a day I shall never forget.

1930s lines, modern layout

All Js dazzle on the water, but Svea simply stops you in your tracks. Her lines and deck are kept spectacularly clean, thanks to the compact wheelhouse, sunken wheel and wonderfully low boom.

Her dark metallic grey hull and black and red sail wardrobe lend her timeless lines a slightly menacing appearance a purposeful racing look that belies the luxurious interior below decks. The aggressive aesthetics are in keeping with her name, a Viking word (it means Swede).

The lines for Svea are from a Tore Holm design from 1937, the last J drawn but one that was never built. Holm was one of the most gifted Metre Class designers.

Andre Hoek reworked the design to make it competitive for modern day racing. This is his third J project in recent years following Lionheart and Topaz.

Continues below

Svea rules the day and Lionheart wins the J Class Superyacht Regatta in Bermuda

If Svea's third place in her first race yesterday was impressive for the debutante J Class member, her victory over

Brand new J S1 Svea stars in a record J Class racing fleet at America's Cup

We expected her to be fast, but would the new J Class Svea be competitive too? It is a tall

Even compared to these 'Super Js', Svea is big. She is, by 15cm, the longest J overall at 43.6m /143.1ft LOA.

Think of classic J Class pictures from the 1930s and you picture a helmsman in a blazer and tie standing high on the aft deck battling a traditional wooden wheel. One of Svea's striking features is her extra large wheel, nearly half of which vanishes into a well below decks.

Hoek encouraged the extra wide, sunken wheel, a feature that Frers favoured in the 1980s because it allowed the helmsman to sit out and see the telltales. Here it allows the helmsman, trimmers and afterguard to remain in close communication.

Svea's deck layout is optimised for modern racing thanks to a large cockpit directly in front of the wheel from which the main, genoa and running backstays are all controlled. This means crew dealing with the runners and their fearsome loads are not on the aft deck and can safely operate the winches from a standing position.

The cockpit also doubles as a guest area when the yacht is in cruise mode, and there is removable seating and table.

I observed the action from the aft deck, in the company of Andre Hoek and the owner's representatives and project managers Tako van Ineveld and Katie Beringer from Ineveld & Co. With its long overhangs a J's ends are prone to pitching and as they are raced with no guardrails you need to be vigilant when the yacht is heeling.

Maxi grand-prix set-up with walnut interior

Be careful on deck we're running big loads up to 36 tonnes on the forestay, Svea's captain Paul 'PK' Kelly told us as we left Palma's STP shipyard. That's the weight of a 60ft cruising yacht, I thought!

It's a maxi grand prix set-up in every detail, said Tako van Ineveld. We will race it as a grand prix boat. The owner loves that, but he also loves his walnut interior.

And that, I thought, in a nutshell, is what today's J Class yacht is all about.

When I joined, the 24-strong race crew and six permanent crewmembers had been practising multiple pre-starts and two or three windward-leeward races a day. Granted, they had no competition, but I soon appreciated how getting the timing for the manoeuvres down and, crucially, knowing exactly how long each will take, is invaluable preparation.

As in a regatta, it takes a couple of hours between the time a J leaves the dock to the point at which it is fully prepared for the start. But when we were, and fully heeled over in full trim, sailing at 9.5 knots upwind in 9-9.5 TWS, the feeling was euphoric.

Svea's immense black North 3Di RAW mainsail was allowed a little body to match the lighter conditions that morning. The sails are obviously big business on Js and Tom Whidden, North Sails's CEO, was aboard for the day assisting the afterguard.

Furling headsails are a new addition this year for some of the newer Js. A crewmember needs to go aloft to attach the lashing to the head during the hoist, so it takes longer to swap headsails, but the advantage is a marked improvement in sail handling time.

The decision was taken early during Svea's build to incorporate furling headsails, for which a Reckmann torque tube is installed on deck. It's a big help not having to drag headsails out of the water, van Ineveld remarked.

A glance aloft shows a particularly aggressive Southern Spars rig design. Every bit of weight and windage was minimised, with no staysail halyard and only a single VHF aerial permitted from the mast top for example.

The Southern Spars boom is tapered at each end and the spinnaker pole is a novel triangular shape which is promised to be lighter than an equivalent tube, if more vulnerable to impact.

During a couple of the upwind legs I sat forward of the wheelhouse, watching the choreography of the pit and foredeck. While the main and trimmers may be in better contact with the afterguard in their aft cockpit setup, it's still a separate camp up here.

The wide, shallow pit serves a useful area to tidy the vast amount of tail ends for spinnaker sheets, inhaulers, barbers, etc and for storing sails or snaking the spinnaker when zipping it up.

When the wind died down to 8 knots there was talk of whether to lead the sheets for inside gybing on the downwind leg. It's amazing to think that a 950sq m kite can be gybed inside these days, but it's a call that needs to be made relatively early as it involves changing the tack strop and sheet leads.

It's almost impossible to take in the flurry of activity that two thirds of the crew are involved with around the mast and foredeck during a hoist that was governed by Team New Zealand veteran sailor Andrew 'Meat' Taylor, a crew boss whose physical presence immediately ensures respect.

The spectacular bright red kite went fizzing up and ballooned into life, filling out a symbol depicting an ancient Nordic compass rose.

When the wind increased to 12 knots for the second practice race that afternoon, everything felt a little more intense on board. The headstay load pin readout was up to 30 tonnes. There was more water coming over the deck, the stiff carbon sails snapped into place with a bang, when the runner was eased, the blocks sounded like a shotgun going off, shuddering a vibration through the aluminium deck.

We were making up to 10.2 knots upwind now. Francesco de Angelis, the ex-Luna Rossa skipper hired as owner's coach, calmly steered sitting to windward, alongside the likes of Peter Isler navigating and the owner's long-standing tactician and fleet manager Charlie Ogletree (an Olympic Tornado sailor).

We crossed the line within a second of the gun and Svea stepped out into her full graceful stride on another long leg.

As we rounded the top mark into the short reaching leg a late call is made for an 'Indian' or gybe-set. It's a test designed to time the crew response.

We gybed and the kite was hoisted in little more than a boatlength I counted five seconds. There is a nod of approval from Tom Whidden, who comments: That'll allow you to go either way round the top mark a pretty nice exit manoeuvre to have, especially if you're in a train.

I was astonished at the speed of the gybes. The boom is sheeted to two winches, both capable of spitting line out at 220m per minute. So even with the boom fully out when sailing downwind, it is centred in a couple of seconds.

The speed of the manoeuvres, especially after only three weeks' training, was seriously impressive. I later learned that this was their best training day. Even so, it was remarkably quiet and well drilled.

Van Ineveld told me the crew was very pleased with how reliable all the systems have been, especially the hydraulics. He pointed out that Js have habitually suffered from hydraulic power failure, which is why they put the Power Take Off (PTO) on the main engine. So far we've had no lack of hydraulic power and we're only running at 70 per cent.

The hydraulic pressure for Js is normally 220bar, but Svea has larger diameter pipes allowing more flow at 300bar. Svea comes out of the box where others want to be, says van Ineveld. It's where all the recent work to Lionheart and Hanuman has led it's the advantage of starting from scratch.

Sailing Svea the newest member of a revered class

During our final upwind leg, something happened that has changed my appreciation of sailing a J forever. Ogletree beckoned me to the wheel, mocking de Angelis by telling the elite helmsman: You're fired.

My heart rate rocketed. I told myself to focus I would only get a few taster seconds of the owner's experience on the wheel. Sailing a J in race mode with race crew? More people have been to the moon.

But that 'time's up' pat on the shoulder never came. The gargantuan wheel was entrusted to me for the rest of the upwind leg, the mark roundings, the spinnaker hoist and the downwind gybes all the way to the finish.

Focus, Toby! I asked de Angelis what sort of numbers we should be doing. Just sail it to the telltales was his refreshing answer although in fact the genoa is professionally trimmed before I could even correct the wheel. The subsequent 9.8 knots target speed at 45 certainly helped.

Standing to leeward I was struck by the force of the wind slot between the sails and how hard it becomes to hear anything. As we tacked I bent for support to hand-over-hand the 8ft diameter carbon and teak wheel. Svea was back up to full speed. You got the mark? Ogletree asked. I nodded. Over to you.

Panic. Keep calm and don't hit the buoy. I was aware of a flurry of activity on a foredeck far, far away. It helped make me appreciate just how focused the crew have to be on their role during a race. You have to be able to trust that everyone's on it I found it almost impossible to concentrate on anything other than pointing the boat from behind the wheel.

Turn the wheel and it's still some moments (and distance) before the boat responds. It shows the value of anticipation.

We powered through a reach and bore away into a spinnaker set, at which point I went into a giddy trance, trying to mentally distill the moment while gybing Svea downwind. To drive the latest, most high-tech yacht in the most revered class in the world, with a full complement of rock stars and one of the world's foremost sailors alongside coaching me through it no, superlatives will never suffice.

Well done everyone, that was a great day today, said Ogletree in the debrief back on the dock, as my pulse began to settle. The best we've sailed the boat and the best it's gone.

No room for delay

Svea's deck is kept wonderfully clean. The original lines didn't even have a deckhouse, something the class insisted upon, says Hoek, but Svea's is kept low.

The furler and tensioner for the inner forestay are hidden under the deck. The anchor arm (removed for racing) rotates out of a locker and extends over the port bows. The chainplates with integrated turnbuckles are underdeck leaving just the ECsix rigging exposed.

It was eye-opening to see just how well Svea is finished below, particularly after visiting her in build at Vitters in December at which time no cabin had yet been completed. Austrian company List pre-fabricated the interior entirely off site a feat of 3D modelling and engineering.

The late Pieter Beeldsnijder (who worked on Athena, Hyperion, Hanuman, and Ethereal) designed an elegant interior that is timelessly finished by Michiel de Vos.

Raised and fielded panels are used together with both decorative and practical features such as curved handrails built into panels. These reflect the owner's taste for millwork carpentry. His preference for an open grain to the Claro walnut helped produce a tactile finish.

The intricate design details and the complex build skills required are particularly impressive when you consider the time frame in which Svea was completed. Normally an interior is built in parallel with the hull, but in this case it was built and fitted during the 14-month Vitters yard period.

There was no room for delays with the race programme for Bermuda, said Tako van Ineveld.

A traditional skylight floods the saloon in natural light. A sliding hatch in the bulkhead between the saloon and the galley further forward helps open out this space and allows the owner to incorporate the compact galley into his living space. It's a clever arrangement that also keeps the teak-finished crew area forward private.

The layout elsewhere is traditional for a J, with guest en-suite cabins (twin and double) each side of the companionway and the master stateroom aft. The saloon and cabins lacked a personal touch during our visit the bulkheads were still bare however 16 marquetry pieces inspired by classic Beken pictures were imminently due to be hung.

Beeldsnijder succeeded in pushing accommodation space to the maximum inside. This is evident in the aft cabin, where the longitudinal frames rise up towards the transom through the berth and sofas. The low wheelhouse squeezes the accommodation in the passageway aft, but this has been cleverly sculpted out at shoulder height.

The engine room, accessed from the passageway opposite the compact navstation or via the saloon sole, is particularly well laid out offering easy access to all the systems.

One to watch

The flurry of new Js and competitive regattas in the last decade has brought with it a chase to upgrade to the latest equipment. This is particularly the case with Hanuman and Lionheart. Svea, however, is today's true answer to a race-ready J class.

What an accomplishment it will be to make the start line at Bermuda, a year after going into Vitters, said captain Paul Kelly. When I left, I was bowled over by this yacht, build and crew work and results so far have been very encouraging.

I am also now that bit closer to understanding the charms of the mercurial J from an owner's point of view. To buy and helm a J Class yacht in a competitive race is the ultimate money-can-buy experience in sailing and, arguably, in any sport.
