Project: Abacus 72

Abacus presents the project for a new 72 model, which will be the replacement of the 70. This new Sicily Italian yard offer is again a design by renowned Italian architect Fulvio de Simoni, who present a modern flybridge motor yacht. By the renderings so far available the new 72 seems to be a further development of the 70, with improvements in important stylistic areas. Most noticeable changes will be the single piece view window in the owners full beam amidships cabin, deeper side decks, a slightly higher radar arch, and a flybridge all reserved for entertainment with tender stowage moving to the bathing platform. The 72 is to be fully build with infusion fiberglass technology by DIAB Divinycell, a technology Abacus has embraced much earlier to other builders. No news yet on power engine choices but I do imagine this to be similar as the 70, which is offered with standard twin MAN 1360hp  or optional 1420 and 1550 units.

New Model: Abacus 86

After being announced since 2006, and project renderings shown in 2008 Sicilian yacht builder Abacus presents its new 86 flagship model. Designed as all the range by Fulvio de Simoni, the Abacus 86 from the Sicilian builder located in Messina, enters the Super Yacht category by going above the 24 metres size. But please note owners operators that the Abacus 86 does have a waterline length of just under 24 metres, meaning it can still be driven by those in possession of a yacht master licence. Hull number one different to the renderings displayed a hard top on the flybridge, with a forward looking radar arch. The Abacus 86 offers a spacious four cabin layout with owners suite to mid ship, VIP to fore, and two guest cabins in between. Crew quarters with lobby and three berths is located to fore. Abacus also used the 86 to improve its construction standard, building the new flagship with infusion resin method by DIAB, and using the Besenzoni Sipario windows in the owners stateroom. The Abacus 86 is powered by twin Cats of 1825hp each which give a top speed of 33 knots, and a cruise of 30 knots. Rather fast considering the horse power and displacement of the new Abacus super yacht.

New Model: Abacus 54

The Abacus 52 is a very interesting new model in its size range, aimed as entry level for the Italian Sicilian builder founded in 2003. Presented officially during last months Genoa Show, the 52 had to be one of the winning motor yachts in its size during the show and among Fulvio De Simoni best works for a flybridge boat. For someone who designs a quarter of the boats in this size and style this is saying something, but the Abacus 52 is a close call to perfection with three spacious areas which is to be the envy of bigger yachts. The living salon area for example is very well planned, but also the flybridge, and the cabin area are second to none. The three guest cabins are all spacious and none of the cabins is a bunk, and the full beam owners suite is really something coming out of a much bigger boat. Saloon is also well planned featuring a c-shaped settee, a dining table for four, and a very spacious galley. Flybridge is also big with an l-shaped settee to aft seating 10, 2 cabinets and a conveniently located sun pad forward. In all this the engine room is also spacious with fuel tanks located to fore of the engines, and even the crew cabin located aft has much more space then one would think. Performance is also interesting with twin Caterpillar 715hp allowing for 34 knots max, and 30 knots cruising speeds. Abacus with help of World famous designer Fulvio De Simoni, has been presenting great designs and the success of the 62 and 70 models is testimony to this, but I personally think that with this new 52 model the yard has done a lot, improving the design schematics of similar sized boats, but also putting ideas from bigger sizes to improve it all. The 52 comes also at a very competitive price with good standard equipment, which if the quality corresponds to that of its bigger sisters is really an unbeatable package.

Projects: Abacus 52, Abacus 86

The new Abacus 52 is a very interesting project from the young Sicilian builder, in a challenging size at 16 metres in length, what will be its new entry level model. From the design plans we can say that Abacus and renowned architect Fulvio De Simoni seem to have made much research offering a very well projected yacht, especially for what regards the interior accommodation. In fact the new Abacus 52, at 16 metres in length will have three spacious double cabins with no bunk and two heads. In all this one will also find the much desired full beam owners cabin, centrally located and with an en suite shower head, featuring also a bidet. Also interesting as shown in the projected plans is the main deck with a two level saloon offering the welcoming c-shaped settee, a spacious galley and a 4 person dining table, a much appreciated feature this last one especially for people who use there boats in all seasons. The flybridge of the new Abacus looks also spacious with an l-shaped settee aft and a sun lounger forward. Now its just to see how this 16 metres motor yacht, works out for real, but this can be a great model feeling much bigger then it actually is.

A much waited project from Abacus Marine the new flagship of the range, the 86 model. Announced to great acclamation a year ago, the 86 follows the steps of its smaller sister and is designed by renowned architect Fulvio De Simoni, who presented a luxury and modern super yacht with a aggressive lines but a classic personality. The 26 metre Abacus combines care for detail with a choice of materials joined with a modern design. Inside the Abacus flagship follows the theme of recent builds, with plenty of natural light achieved with the use of numerous open view windows, which manifests itself to a greater extent in the owners cabin where one can enjoy full 360 degree views of the sea thanks to the use of the Besenzoni Sipario windows. The forward and aft areas are large and spacious, while interior spaces have been designed with space in mind. Sleeping accommodation all in the lower deck is for four double guest cabins all with private bathroom. Powered by twin CAT at 1825 hp each, the Abacus 86 has a top speed of 33 knots and a continuous cruising of 30 knots. Interesting to note about the new 86 is the construction method used, being built with the latest innovative DIAB infusion technology, which improves the boat’s structural quality, cuts down on polluting emissions and ensures better operating conditions for the workers.
