Project: Nautitech 47 Power

The concept and engineering phases have been completed, and now the development of the Nautitech 47 Power is entering a new phase, with completion scheduled for the beginning of 2018. The clear lines and dynamic design of the 47 Power reveal a powerful elegance of this catamaran. The 47 Power will also offer plenty of room for luxury and relaxation, a typical virtue of catamarans due to the wider beam they offer.  The stern of the Nautitech 47 Power has multiple uses with a lifting platform between the hulls that can be used as a tender-lift or as a bathing platform. The 47 Power will offer a generous flybridge offered with a bimini or a hardtop protection, and will also features a barbecue and wet bar.  The large dinette area is offered on the long table in the large cockpit with direct access to the saloon. With this clever layout, cockpit and saloon join into one living space. The perfectly equipped pantry, the exclusive lounge area in the saloon and the generous cockpit all give the impression of a penthouse apartment.  Power for the Nautitech 47 Power is by two Volvo 225hp or optional 300hp  units.  Max speeds are 22 knots, most interesting is that a cruise of nine knots will offer a range of one thousand nautical miles.

Project: CRN 62m hull. 137

CRN, Italian Shipbuilder and brand of Ferretti Group specializing in the construction of custom steel and aluminium super yachts pleasure between forty and one hundred meters, is excited to share the first details of the Shipyard’s hull number 137.  The new yacht has been engineered by CRN’s Ancona-based Technical Department, complimented by Italian firm Nuvolari Lenard, who took care of exterior concept and interior design.  At 62 metres long this yacht embodies CRN’s modern approach to displacement motor yachts.  Classical lines have been replaced by the unmistakable all-Italian style of Nuvolari Lenard, revealing rakish and yet harmonious lines that seem to be shaped by the wind. The bow is vertical, not to follow the current trend, but to ensure maximum length in the water, thereby increasing speed and maximizing the forward volumes, where the garage is located. CRN’s Technical Department turned Nuvolari Lenard’s concept into reality by optimizing technical spaces with no detriment to the interior layout. The aft Owner’s stateroom, opens up to the al-fresco dining area. The upper deck, which has now become the Owner's Deck, includes a forward panoramic lounge that can remain, at the discretion of the owner, private or open.  CRN 137 will features five decks and includes the Owner’s stateroom and five VIP cabins, hosting up to twelve guests. It will be equipped with two MTU 2011hp engines that will push it to a maximum speed of 16 knots.  Three more vessels are currently under construction at CRN: 74 m M/Y CRN 131, to be delivered during the spring and presented as an international première at the Monaco Yacht Show in September; 79 m M/Y CRN 135; and 50 m M/Y CRN 136 “Superconero”.

Bruno Abbate Primatist New Web Site

Bruno Abbate Primatist presents its new World wide web showroom.  Bruno Abbate Primatist was officially founded in 1977 but the builder is a continuation of what was started by Giuseppe Abbate in 1873 on Lake Como, and never stopped since then by the family.  The founding of Bruno Abbate in 1977 also marked the switch to fiberglass for the Como family boat builder.  The first Primatist was the 23, and became instantly a big success with a total production for this model of over 750 units sold in a decade plus of production. In 1995 the G range was created with the launch of the G25 followed by the G29 and G33 on the same year. The G range is a success with its best selling model being the G41 launched in 2002 and sold over one hundred units.  Abbate always means racing since and after World War Two with Alfieri engineering and Giovanardi technician introducing Pamblo the first surface drive mono hull in 1947.  Bruno Abbate continues the racing tradition by competing and winning with the Pinot Gancia dei Gancia the Class One European Championship in 1987, and by breaking records in the one kilometer launch with a Maserati powered boat and a speed of 216.7 km/h in 1996.  Since founding Bruno Abbate Primatist new construction yards have been added, first in 1982 at Grandola e Uniti in Como and then in 2008 with the Arbatax facility in Sardinia. Another important step for the Bruno Abbate Primatist was the agreement with Poalo Pinifarina in 2004.  The first boat to be created from this is the current ever largest sport yacht build by Bruno Abbate the G70 Pininfarina, which is followed by the top selling G46 launched in 2007 and three other models after that.  Today Bruno Abbate Primatist is managed by his son Marco and presents a range of four models; B 41 Pininfarina, G 46 Pininfarina, G 53 Pininfarina, and B 62 Pininfarina.  Bruno Abbate Primatist new website takes you around with the following buttons; Story, Models, Service and Contacts.  Bruno Abbate Primatist is also present on social media Facebook platform with a link located at the bottom of the page.

New Launch: Benetti 67 meter FB268

Benetti is pleased to announce the launch of the 67 meter fully custom FB268 named M/Y Seasense is a full custom superyacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure built for an experienced owner who has chosen the Benetti brand for the first time. The launch ceremony took place in Benetti’s historic Livorno shipyard, perfectly on schedule according to the production plan, with shipyard workers, management, the owner’s representatives and the crew in attendance. The elegant exterior lines of FB268 are by the Dutch designer Cor D. Rover, designing its first Benetti vessel, while the naval architecture was developed by the shipyard’s technical office. The contemporary styling of the interiors, on the other hand, is the result of collaboration between the Benetti’s architects team and the design studio Area from Los Angeles, making its debut in the world of superyachts. The layout includes six suites that can accommodate up to 12 guests. The basic concept underpinning this Benetti superyacht is reflected in its name which has been translated into a design that revolves around the relationship with the surrounding environment. In fact, the owner wanted the outdoor areas to be as spacious as possible, to offer the maximum possible contact with the sea. In particular, the stern area of the main deck is given over to a big pool with a sun-lounging area connected to the peculiar main salon that, through the opening of big sliding doors, provides even more outdoor space for guests. Benetti FB268 is fitted with twin 1380kW Caterpillar engines, it has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. The range at a cost effective speed of 12 knots is 5,000 nautical miles. Final delivery is scheduled for the end of July 2017,
