New Model: Bimax Alchimia 32

Bimax made a lot of news in 2021 when it debuted its Alchimia 28 with its innovative Eco Drive System, a forward looking shaft system which eliminates the hump at those intermediate slow planning speeds and give better efficiency.  The Bimax Alchimia 28 is now followed by a larger Alchimia 32 sister, which offers more space and a modern aggressive look. For those that know Bimax, the Alchimia 32 is based on the previous Diamond 32 model, with a revised exterior and the patented propulsion of the smaller 28 now also featured in the larger flagship model.  The Bimax Alchimia 32 offers a four berth accommodation plan, in the usual sport cruiser plan of a V-shape saloon forward which becomes a double berth, and two berths at midships, with a galley to port side, and a shower head to starboard.  The Bimax Alchimia 32 though main feature are its performances, which with a single VM Nanni diesel give it a 32 knots max speed while a cruise of 22 knots gives it a consumption of just 1.6 litres per nautical mile.

New Model: Bimax 28 Alchimia

Just when you thought you have seen it all, here comes Bimax a shipyard from Latina to the South of Rome in Italy, and its new revolution the 28 Alchimia.  So what's new with the Bimax 28 Alchimia is that this walkaround sport cruiser of just over eight meters in length is powered by a single shaft drive inboard engine with what the company calls its Eco Drive System.  The Eco Drive System has a pull propulsion shaft system looking forward and only seven degrees shaft angle.  The result is that with this you do not get the bow high of the traditional shaft drive especially in transition or early planning phases with Bimax claiming a bow rise of only one degrees.  While consumption is only at one litre per nautical mile or twenty litres per hour at fast cruise.
