Projects: Greenline 50 Fly, Greenline 50 Coupe

Greenline Yachts has unveiled project designs for the 50 model set to be available in both Fly, and Coupe version as rendered below.  The 50 will replace the existing Greenline 48, which has been one of the yard’s top-sellers for more than a decade. While the new Greenline 50 serves a similar segment of the market, it will be bigger, sleeker and include a host of new features. The first hull in the new Greenline 50 Fly is already nearing the end of its build process, with launch at Portoroz, Slovenia scheduled for late summer. Every new yacht draws lessons from its predecessors, so the Greenline 50 is a clear evolution of the brand’s DNA and celebrated design language. Its tall, safe bulwarks, the dynamic swept-back superstructure, bright spaces and flexible hybrid drives are all pure Greenline. Like its predecessor the new Greenline 50 offers three versatile cabins that can be arranged as twins or doubles, and up to three bathrooms.  The main deck offers comfortable one-level living, with no steps between the cockpit and the saloon, which is bathed in natural light thanks to generous dimensions and all-round glazing. But the Greenline 50 also features a wealth of small details which carry the brand forward. Owners will enjoy more choice over interior materials and finishes than ever before, plus a comprehensive options list that ranges from electronics to appliances.  Greenline’s versatile aft deck area has been turbocharged, with more spacious options than in previous models. Choose between a vast storage space for the tender and toys, or an additional cabin for a crew member. Opting for storage, the whole aft deck seating area swings open to give access from the bathing platform. As crew accommodation, on the other hand, the port side access through the transom is filled to create standing headroom below.  The first Greenline 50 is built in the Fly model, with a generous flybridge. Together with the battery bank and the solar panels, the yacht’s hotel operations can run on silent electric power for extended periods, depending on conditions.  The system can be seamlessly combined with Greenline’s 6G hybrid drive or  efficient diesel engines for a serene boating experience.  As with the Greenline 45 and the Greenline 58, the new Greenline 50 is also available in a Coupe version, with the flybridge replaced by hard-top.

New Model: Cantiere delle Marche RJ102

Cantiere delle Marche launches the first RJ102 titled Mon Coeur. The first RJ102 joins the ranks of the finest yachts produced in recent years: a 31-meter steel-hulled explorer yacht that refuses to compromise. Cantiere delle Marche has taken the soul of their RJ explorer series, that distinctive blend of rugged capability and refined elegance, and distilled it into a smaller model entry level to the range designed by Francesco Paszkowski. At 31 meters in length and a full load displacement of 250 tons, beneath her contemporary exterior, RJ102 hides serious ocean-going ambition with a range of four thousand nautical miles at ten knots. Cantiere delle Marche RJ102 accommodates nine guests across four suites, including the owners stateroom, with tended by a crew of five. Giorgio M. Cassetta shaped her interiors spaces to mirror the owners’ lifestyle, not some catalogue ideas. The result is consistent with Mon Coeur overall feel as the designer explains.

Project: Northwest 58

Northwest Yachts present the 58 project, the largest model in the new fleet, and a direct expansion of the Northwest 52 and 55. Designed with the same exceptional layout and design features, the Northwest 58 features a larger cockpit and increased interior living space. Built with long-range cruising abilities, and spacious living areas, the Northwest 58 provides exceptional comfort packaged in a durable, high performance, luxury cruising yacht. This time the model name matches with the actual overall length of the yacht. The Northwest 58 is to be constructed with vacuum-bagged composite construction, and is an expansion from the 55 model. Onboard the Northwest 58 is a three-cabin layout with all cabins on the lower deck. The master suite is located just forward of midships while there is a VIP V-berth in the bow and another guest cabin on the forward port side. The main deck splits between the main saloon on the aft portion of the deck and the wheelhouse steps-up in height via a couple steps. The relaxation part of the saloon and galley share the same general space while the wheelhouse is perched higher and is accompanied by a corner settee and table. There is also a flybridge area fitted with a pair of helm seats. The port side also carries a built-in settee with accompanying table. Moving aft and down a couple steps will be the open boat deck which is specifically envisioned to store the yacht's tender as it has a built-in crane installed across the beam. Once the tender is launched to the water, the extensive deck space is free to set-up as desired. The Northwest 58 is to be powered by twin John Deere 330hp.
