New Model: Camper & Nicholsons 50 Velsheda

What a beautiful boat, that is in few words what this picture say of the new Camper and Nicholsons 50 Velsheda. Owned by Leonardo Ferragamo since a few years, Camper and Nicholsons became the power boating arm of Nautor Holdings group who also owns one of the most appreciated production sail boat brands; Nautor Swan since the late nineties. With 50 Velsheda, Camper and Nicholsons follow what was presented with the 42 Endevour in a bigger yacht size dimension. In reality the Velsheda tells you instantly she is the larger sister of the Endeavour, and as  the 42 feet model does take hints from a down east lobster boat design mixed that of a classic fast commuter for its looks, creating a unique design. The 50 Velsheda cockpit deck will impress for its spaces; central sun-pad, two L-shape aft looking small mezzanine style settees, C-shape dinette, L-shaped galley, and a helm station to starboard is what the main deck offers. Below the Velsheda offers two cabins with an owners room to fore, and a nice L-shaped lounger.  A single berth crew cabin is located amidships starboard. Power is twin Cats 669 or 715hp with line shafts giving top speeds up to 33 knots in light load.

Project: Camper and Nicholsons 80 Gelyce

Seems the Italian ownership of this brand Leonardo Ferragamo is presenting some interesting projects with a full line of down East inspired sports cruisers and yachts, and now also an important super yacht offered in design.  The 80 Gelyce presented here is the largest of the down east line and stands at the entrance to be called a super yacht. The names Gelyce here respects the philosophy of a power-boat, since these where in actual fact fast commuters who served the J-class competing in the Americas Cup in the nineteen thirties. The 80 Gelyce is mostly a project looking towards outside spaces, with also an interesting concept for the flash fore deck featuring a nice louging area which does not disturb the lines.  Below is space for three double cabins, including a full beam owners stateroom.  To fore is the galley, a large C-shaped dinette, and two double crew cabins.  Power is a standard more long range package of twin MAN 1000hp which gives a 22 knots cruise.  A fast option of twin 1622hp Cat engines raises max speed to 33 knots.
