Project: Austin Parker AP44 Sedan

Austin Parker present the project for a new AP44 Sedan.  Designed by the famous Fulvio de Simoni, the Italian designer continues the formula he used on previous AP models for a modern cruiser with inspirations mostly concerning the super structure to the traditional lobster boat.  The AP44 Sedan will be the second new Austin Parker for the fall 2017 boat show season with the Italian boat builder completing finishing touches to the 48 Sundeck.  The AP44 Sedan will feature a two cabins two heads lower deck.  But its most important feature will be its main deck layout, this with an astern galley, C-shaped dinette, and sun-pad to aft. The saloon galley area is separated by a patio door, this allowing for easy all year usage.  It will be interesting to see if the AP44 as it happened with the successful 42 will offer variants to the range from Open no patio door to Sports without hard top versions.  Being a semi custom builder it all depends what the clients and market asks to Austin Parker.  Power wise the Austin Parker AP44 Sedan will be powered by twin Cummins 480hp with traditional line shaft propulsion.

Project: Austin Parker 48 Sundeck

Austin Parker present the project for a new 48 Sundeck, inspired by the elements that have always characterized the range, and the larger sized models.  Unmistakable lines accentuate the traditional modern concept and bring to mind the consolidated white-blue color scheme that Fulvio De Simoni has used since the first model AP42 was launched in 2008.  Wide side side decks facilitate the passage from the stern to fore-ship; while stairs from the teak cockpit lead to the sundeck complete with sunbeds and sofas.  The spacious panoramic saloon is fully accessible and in continuity with a comfortable cockpit; an opening in the stern deck provides easy access to the swim platform where the service tender is located.  The sleeping accommodations offers three double cabins and two heads; the master cabin is located at the center and is a true suite fitted with every comfort. The galley, positioned below deck, provides plenty of counter space and cabinets for storing supplies and equipment.  As all Austin Parker the 48 Sundeck will be finished in deluxe trims in treated elm-wood, crystal, leather and fine quality textiles.  Power comes from twin 550hp Cummins engines which top speeds up to thirty knots, and range at a fast economic cruise up to 350 nautical miles.  The first unit of the 48 Sundeck has been sold with a launch date for late Spring early Summer, and then going for the World debut at the September Cannes boat show.

Project: Austin Parker 36 Hybrid

The Austin Parker 36 Hybrid project is an evolution of the classic 36 foot boat, the latest to be launched on the market by the Italian yard, in 2013. This traditional lobster cruiser inspired boat can be operated in three ways: driven by the diesel engines, using the electric motors only with zero fuel consumption, or with a combination of the diesel and electric for the highest performance, estimated at 27 knots. On long trips, the 36 Hybrid can be powered by the electric motors and diesel engines in alternation: when the engines are in operation, the batteries that power electric propulsion can be recharged. Therefore, when electric and Diesel propulsion are alternated, fuel consumption is cut drastically by about 50%. This hybrid drive system brings many benefits, both in terms of fuel saving and a reduction in the emission produced, and with regard to the potential use of the boat, since it can be used without restrictions on lakes and rivers, especially in Northern Europe, and in marine parks and nature reserves, without damage to the environment. As well as its innovative propulsion system, the Austin Parker 36 Hybrid features several important new details: the hard top is in carbon, while the sun roof (which slides open) is fitted with photo-voltaic panels to charge the lithium battery system. The teak of all the decking and interior floors is in synthetic material, which is much lighter, tough and of the highest quality. The hull is painted pale grey with the gunwales finished with polyurethane paint for a long maintenance-free life. Not just innovation: Austin Parker is also famed for its style, elegance and attention to details. Sophisticated materials and craftsman-like care make this yacht a worthy heir to those that have shaped the history of lobster boats in Italy.

Project: Austin Parker AP42 Sedan

Austin Parker presents the third version project of what was first of the new generation AP models designed by Fulvio de Simoni, the 42. So after the Open, came the Sport, and now Austin Parker presents the more practical and comfortable of the 42's the Sedan.  Important differences separate the Austin Parker 42 Sedan from its more similar sister the Open, invisible when you look from the boat sideways but viewable when you see it from aft.  The most important addition in the new Sedan is the addition of a patio door dividing the aft cockpit deck, from outside and inside when this is closed.  But thanks to this a reinvention of the cabin inside changes the 42 not only on top but also below in the lower deck layout.  The galley in the case of the 42 Sedan is moved on the main deck replacing the wet bar or daily kitchen up top, and L-shaped settee now becoming home to various uses from dining to relaxing. While below the area occupied by saloon and galley is transformed into a cabin with twin beds.  Basically the AP42 Sedan offers an interesting new perspective to the most successful model from the Austin Parker fleet, and guarantees a further success to a wider range of audience.

Project: Austin Parker AP54 Fly

After returning back to the market in 2009, and showing more strength in 2010 with the presentation of three new models Austin Parker opens 2011 with the presentation of the AP54 Fly project. This traditional yacht if these two words actually can describe any Austin Parker is based on the latest new model of the 2010 season, the AP52 Open. As all Austin Parker's the AP54 Fly is designed by Fulvio De Simoni Italproject team who presents traditional down East lobster lines, but with a modern Italian take on the overall concept. I am sure that in no history photos of a down East lobster boat you will find any large glassed windows in the cabins, or a bathing platform for that manner. But for a yacht giving panache and class the lobster touch surely makes everything look elegant with the appreciated timeless attitude and this is basically the success that characterizes these type of yachts. Inside of the AP54 Fly we see the layout of the 52 Open offering three double cabins with two bathrooms, large lounge, separate galley, crew cabin with head, and tender garage aft. The owners room while located to fore gives a space similar to that of a mid ship layout as in fact the AP54 has its maximum beam in this area. Performance is a top speed of 34 knots max coming from twin 900hp MAN engines.

New Model: Austin Parker AP72 Fly

After starting its relaunching program in the most difficult times with the Fulvio De Simoni designed 42 Open just about a year ago, Austin Parker launches its third model with the AP72 Fly, the new flagship. The AP 72 Fly is a traditional yacht which inspires itself above the waterline to the classic down east lobster boat lines, but with a planning Vee hull below. Classic cues are the upright bow, or the smart ship sides, but none the less although still being a very sea keeping vessel down below there is little taking from the lobster collecting boats of the down East US. The AP72 Fly wants to compete with similar traditional lobster inspired yachts as the Mochi, Abati and the French Arcoa just to name a few. For sure it is presenting itself with all the credits to make a big challenge, with its very Italian style finished four cabin interior wrapping up well with the exterior De Simoni looks. Surely the video also shows a boat which navigates very nice, and takes moderate seas with extreme ease. So far Abati has started its new course in good direction with the company declaring to having sold nine in less to a year of the 42 Open, and three of this 72 Fly. Good job to them and designer De Simoni who presented very qualified looks to all the range.

Project: Austin Parker AP42 Sport

Basing itself on the lines of the just launched Austin Parker AP42 Open, the Italian builder present a new sport cruiser interpretation with the project of a Sport version. This model actually shows what a thin line, or to sum it better a different superstructure can do to change the original traditional hull into a new Sport Cruiser interpretation. Also designed by Fulvio De Simoni the AP42 Sport looks very sweet with a muscle interpretation given by the high free board of the hull. Apart the change of super structure the AP42 Sport will keep much of the elements of the AP 42 Open lobster design like the wooden toe rail, and the same interior lower deck with a master suite to fore, galley and L-shaped settee. The main deck will also be the same but in this case this area is dedicated for a full sunshine or canopy covered open air environment.

Projects: Austin Parker AP52 Open, Austin Parker AP62 Fly, Austin Parker AP72 Fly

Austin Parker are back with an ambitious project for three bigger models, all following the brands return with the AP42 Open in the fall of last year. These bigger projects will complete Austin Parker Traditional lobster looking line from 42 to 72 feet. Pictured above is the smallest of the new projects, the AP52 Open. This new model is presently under construction, and as the new Austin Parker's carries the signature of renowned yacht designer Fulvio de Simoni, who continues his inspiration as seen with the new 42 of a Lobster Yacht with modern architectural elements. Accommodation in the AP52 offers a three double cabin plan, with a crew berth aft. Interesting here is the owners suite to fore, with queen sized double berth looking to the side makes use of the bow flair, to add size and space similar to that of a full beam suite. Living area will be on the main deck with a C-shaped saloon, and galley just upon the entrance from the patio door. Power will be from twin 800hp MAN engines. The second of the new projects is Austin Parker AP62 Fly which marks the builder entry into the flybridge world. Again designed by De Simoni the new AP62 Fly continues the cross over elements between tradition and modernity. The tradition shows off with the long forward deck, light flare bow, and shear line. While modernity sticks out with the big view windows mid ship, the aft deck which is quite high for lobster pots collection, and the curved topsides. Accommodation is for a three cabin head plan, with full beam owners stateroom located to midship. A single berth crew cabin with private shower head and separate aft deck entrance is located infront of the engine room. Power is from twin 900hp MAN engines. Similar in looks to the AP62, the AP72 Fly projects resembles its smaller sister in the shown renderings displaying similar concepts inside and outside. Bigger more spacious is featured in every environment and this is expected with the AP72 Fly being three metres more in length, and one metre in beam to the smaller sister. Apart the size what the plans show are the four cabin head layout, bigger full beam owners suite with walking wardrobe, and double crew cabin located aft. Power for Austin Parker future flagship will be from twin 1360hp MAN engines.

New Model: Austin Parker AP42 Open

Founded in 1998 Austin Parker has been at the period one of the first European and Italian builders to concentrate its production on Down East Lobster Traditional Cruiser looking models. Today a decade later and after stopping its production for a couple of years the Italian Austin Parker returns to the market thanks to new investors in its holding, and with this present a more modern interpretation of the Traditional Down East Cruiser, with renowned architect Fulvio De Simoni behind the design of the new AP42 Open. For me having been a follower to De Simoni works since he started it was interesting to see how the designer handled the looks for a Traditional American Cruiser. I obviously like what I saw and seems that Austin Parker agree with me as they have apparently commissioned the jobs of three bigger models to De Simoni. The Austin Parker AP42 Open offers an interesting mix of traditional concepts with modern utility like the flush deck cockpit, or the modern big view windows in the master cabin to fore. Accommodation for the AP42 is an owners suite to fore, and L-shaped sofa, this alternatively can be changed to an optional second guest cabin. The AP42 Open is powered by twin Yanmar 480hp engines which give a top speed of 34 knots and a fast cruise of 30 knots.
