Improve-it = Arcoa 44 Mystic

Arcoa has recently launched an improved version for its successful 44 Mystic model which now features a high low bathing platform, and a black colored hull. Titled the Black Line option these improved characteristics to the 44 Mystic adds further comfort, style and versatility. The Arcoa 44 Mystic is a traditional down east looking cruiser with a European influence to its design, characterized by wide beam and a Mediterranean style cockpit. Down below the French builder offers two cabins, with an owners en-suite stateroom to fore, and twin beds guest cabin to starboard. You also get the main galley below. This improvement follows that of last year introduced IPS600 option for this model which increased performance by six knots in wide open throttle mode reaching 37 knots, and doing 30 knots on cruise.

Project: Arcoa 40 Fishing

A further project from Arcoa, adding to the already three presented this year. This project the 40 Fishing as the title says takes a different route for the French builder, presenting here a Sportfish Cruiser in medium sized forty feet package, versus the Traditional lobster look of most of its range. There is little details so far available, but what can be seen is that the 40 Fishing will have a tuna tower, and a further lower extended aft deck for game fishing. The shear line of the 40 Fishing takes a lot from the traditional lobster design of the other Arcoa models but in particular resembling the 39 and 44 Mystic, as does the coach roof of the pilot house. Scheduled launching for the 40 Fishing is for the fall of this year, so its just to wait a bit more to see the definite version and have also full details.

Projects: Arcoa 35 Cuddy, Arcoa 52 Black Sword, Arcoa 62 Sword

French builder Arcoa continues to challenge the future by presenting three innovative projects all set to launch in the fall of this year. All these three projects are based on modern traditional lines, as has done Arcoa in recent years first with the introduction of the Mystic series. The first of this presentations is the 35 Cuddy, a runabout with a small cabin inspired to classic US picnic boats. Second project is the 52 Black Sword, which is a mix of traditional US lobster boat inspiration to what regards the design of the coach roof, with hull lines giving clear indication of the European roots build sport cruiser. The Sword is a new series from Arcoa, which takes some bits from the Mystic although not looking as traditional. The third of these project also set to be presented on the fall of this year is the 62 Sword. This will be the new Arcoa flagship superseding the current 60 Mystic which is the current bigger boat of the line up. The 62 Sword follows the concept of the smaller 52 Black Sword with a super structure taking some hints from US lobster boat design and hull lines showing modern European touches as big glassed surfaces and large opening windows. Arcoa has also the project of a bigger boat so far titled 72 Red Project, but set to launch in two years time. www.arcoa-yachts.com

Improve-it = Arcoa 44 Mystic

French boat builder Arcoa improves its 44 Mystic model with the addition of a new Volvo IPS propulsion option. I think by now everyone knows the benefits of this solution versus the traditional shaft drive, but on the Arcoa 44 Mystic the improvements have beaten all expectations of performance gains. In fact compared with the in line shaft propelled twin Cats C7 Acert 460hp version, the new Volvo IPS600 435 hp option has a big gain of twenty per cent in performance terms. Top speed with this new option is now 37 knots compared to the 31 knots of the C7s, and cruising is 30 knots against the 24 of the shaft option.
