New Model: Cobalt A40

With the new A40, Cobalt is trying again to enter a bigger size market. One of the known high quality builders in the smaller sizes, Cobalt has gained respect in its five decades plus of building boats as a very high profile boat builder thanks to its sea worthy hulls, well engineered and good quality builds. Surprisingly the entrance into the big sizes has always been a bit hard for them, and the 37 and 46 models both had a mild success. Now the new A40 is another try to change all that, and is a very interesting sport cruiser with a super exterior and well made interior offering overnight accommodation or a cruise with sleeping capacity for four persons. But surely what will stand out in the A40 is the exterior with its big central sun-pad, large L-shaped exterior wet-bar, and two L-shape settees.  Cobalt A40 can be powered by petrol or diesel, with hp range starting at 330hp up to a 430hp.

New Model: Cobalt 37

Cobalt Yachts presents the 37, now the second boat in the Cruiser and Yacht line, from the USA builder. The new 37 is very similar to the 46, both with classic lines flowing along bonded side windows extending the entire length of the hull, and as is its larger sister offering creature comforts of far larger boats, accented by Super Yacht standard custom cabinetry, making every best possible use of interior space. Case in point: the two full beds with conventional mattresses in lieu of the convertible cushions of a settee that other manufacturers term a midberth. A solid panel secludes the master stateroom, opening and airing the cabin. The overall efficiency and roominess of interior spaces arise in large part from Cobalt’s willingness to use multiple, complex molds in the fabrication of parts, leading to designs simply not possible to restricted simple, unimaginative molding. Designed and engineered to exacting specifications for open water performance and saltwater durability, the 37 has been built ready to take on the traffic in coastal waters and inland lakes alike. Where others are quick to speak of value-added engineering, a euphemism for the subtraction of the very best materials from a boat’s construction in an effort to keep costs down, Cobalt has beefed the 37’s design, calling for high technology in both materials and their application. The full-length stringer system has been reinforced with carbon fiber, laid up with vinylester resins, add to this a solid fiberglass Kevlar strengthened hull bottom with full ¾” thickness, and the structural bulkheads are of total composite construction and are vacuum-infused.
