Project: Colombo 40 Bellagio

Colombo present the project for a new 40 Bellagio model.  Designed by Davide Cipriani from CentroStileDesign, the 40 Bellagio is the first Colombo from the Bologna based designer, who since being taken over by Sarnico Group in 2007 has given design duties to the Venice based Nuvolari Lenard who have designed four models from seven to twelve meters.  The 40 Bellagio is a sport cruiser with a modern style mixed with classic elements.  For example the 40 Bellagio will feature an extended large bathing platform, to a redesign of the aft deck layout, and large hull windows serving the forward cabins mixed with classic details like the large hull side engine air intakes, to the mahogany finished fore-deck, and wrap around windscreen.  The 40 is also the third Bellagio to come from Colombo following the 26 launched in 2009, and the 36 in 2010.  No technical details are as yet given for the 40 Bellagio, which will be presented at the Genoa boat show 2022.

New Model: Canados Gladiator 493 Grand

For most of its time Cantieri Navali di Ostia i.e Canados has been known for building yachts of important sizes upwards of seventy feet.  Yet the Gladiator range which debuted with the 428 then renamed 431 in 2017 has changed all this, and now following the success of this thirteen meter Canados presents the similar yet larger 493 Grand.  The Gladiator 493 Grand’s design was to offer a modern classic appeal, luxury, comfortable interiors and a second-to-none cockpit to entertain your guests. The Gladiator 493 comes with a deep swimming platform which, as an option, can be converted into a hydraulic swimming or boarding stairs. The central aft deck sun pad is generous, and hides a garage and the central console helm station is protected by a laminated glass windshield. The fore deck offers the exact same set up as the 431 WA with its gigantic sun pad and chaise longue looking forward. The interior has two options; two cabins and two bathrooms, and or an open plan double layout with a choice of a one crew cabin berth.  Like all Canados even the small Gladiator are a custom product like the larger super yachts. Canados says the Gladiator 493 Grand is a rough water deep-Vee sport cruiser center console that is standard powered by twin Volvo 440hp with stern drive propulsion which give a top speed up to 38 knots.  Want more speeds Canados offers other options from triple or quad Mercury outboards 450 or 600hp and other inboard diesel option which deliver performances up to 58 knots.

New Model: Azimut Grande 26M

Catch me if you can, Azimut's story for over three decades as it re-invents motor yachting in various forms and sizes and in design and engineering.  This new Grande 26M follows that script for the others to follow.  Replacing the nimble and sporty 25M as the baby Grande, opening the door to the big Azimut super yachts build in Viareggio, the Grande 26M comes with two important innovations; a selling one the Flex Deck, and a technical one thanks to the use of new ZF pod drives as propulsion.  The Flex Deck is the selling innovation expanding the aft deck area with the beach/garage area door going up and extending the floor, and creating a terrace on the water.  The second innovation, the technical one is the use of ZF pod drives.  Back in 2009 Azimut was heavily involved in testing the ZF pod drives with reported tests going on a 62S fitted with ZF4000 and twin 1200hp engines.  Somehow the 62S with ZF never materialized, and the 62S Italia ended up remaining on shafts and Azimut switching to triple IPS on later S models.  The results of those tests seem to have arrived, with the new Grande 26M fitted with new large ZF pod drives which look to be an exclusive to Azimut for the moment finally arriving on a production yacht.  Azimut is saying that thanks to its search for light weight materials and efficient propulsion the 26M Grande delivers 20% less consumption to similar sized yachts.

Engine: Man V12X 2200hp

Man will present its new V12X engine series to a global audience at the Cannes 2022 boat show. With the newly developed V12 engine for yacht applications, Man Engines is for the first time offering its customers an output of 2200hp from 30 liters of displacement. The Man V12X achieves its output of 2200hp at 2300 rpm from a bore of 138 mm and a stroke of 165 mm. Compared with the previous most powerful yacht engine from Man, V12 2000hp the displacement of the V12X has been increased by more than five liters and the maximum torque from 6500 Nm to 7350 Nm. The MAN V12X is based on a completely new basic engine, incorporating many findings from the current V12 engine series, which continues to cover yacht outputs of up to 2000hp. As part of the new development of the next-generation yacht engine, the engineers at MAN Engines enlarged the bore of the MAN V12X to 138 mm and the stroke to 165 mm. Among other things, the wall thicknesses of the crankcase have been increased at significant points, its bolt connection between the upper and lower parts of the case has been optimized and a new crankshaft with larger bearing diameters has been installed. A great deal of attention is also paid to the findings from numerous test bench trials with correspondingly long running times and the experience gained from trials at customers on the water. In addition, findings from the E3872 stationary gas engine developed in parallel complement the development. This counterpart for power and heat generation is based on the same basic engine and was presented for the first time back at the end of 2021. The evolution to the next generation of yacht engines is reflected in the numerous further developments that the Man V12X features, which on the one hand are due to the significantly higher output, but on the other also play a major role in ensuring the durability of the product. For this reason, the Man V12X in the highest output for yachts is designed for a full-load share of up to 20%. A new coolant pump and a new thermostat housing provide the Man V12X with an optimized coolant supply for the usual long service life of the engine. The engine is also optionally available with an outer-skin cooling system instead of the closed coolant circuit. The new, distinctive cylinder head of the V12X, which has also been significantly optimized in terms of flow and cooling, is designed to meet the same development goal. In addition, the oil supply has also been modified by using new oil pumps and new oil coolers, as well as optimizing the flow. As an additional customer benefit, the V12X is the first marine engine using Man recently introduced Hydraulic Valve Lash adjustment as standard on marine engines for the first time, which eliminates the need for regularly checking and adjusting the valve lash. The new Common Rail injection system is another milestone that represents the excellence of this next generation of engines. With an impressive 2200 bar injection pressure, the basis is created for the low fuel consumptions and outstanding raw emissions typical of Man engines. The engine control unit is also new and opens up further possibilities for optimal engine design. In conjunction with the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, which has also been adapted, strict legal requirements such as IMO Tier III are met. The Man V12X is also available in combination with the hybrid system from MAN Engines, the "MAN Smart HYBRID Experience". The compact installation dimensions is almost identical to those of the Man V12 series with 24 litres, an advantage for new builds as well as for re-engine projects. Despite numerous measures to ensure the robustness of the new engine, the Man V12X with its 2720kg dry weight is positioned as a lightweight in the field of twelve and sixteen cylinder yacht engines over 2000hp, giving 0.81hp per kilogram of dry weight or 74.3 hp (54.6 kW) per liter of displacement. The V12X engine will be available from mid-2024.

Project: Alia 60 meter

Turkish super yacht builder Alia presents a 60 meter project, reuniting the build team responsible for the 54 meter Al Waab with Dutch studio Vripack for the design and naval architecture, and GCC-based SF Yachts that will serve as project manager and owner’s representative throughout the construction. The owner is an experienced yachtsmen who has owned several yachts of various sizes over the past decade. For this latest project he requested an Ice Class standard with which to travel around the world with his family.  The owner’s brief has focused on a high performance, go-anywhere yacht that can accommodate a large family for long periods at a time. With an interior volume of 810 gross tons and generous exterior spaces, the family members will be able to enjoy extended cruises without having to return to shore for provisioning or refueling. With the addition of an Ice Class hull, the yacht will be able to go anywhere, anytime. In addition, close attention is being paid to the technical and logistical requirements to ensure the super yacht is as easy to operate and maintain for the crew as possible. Unusually, for example, the spacious galley and crew salon-dinette is on the main deck forward, where there is also a technical room with access to the side-loading tender garage. A popular social area on board that benefits from the high volume is the sprawling beach club on the lower deck that has a massage room, dive store and steam shower in addition to a gym and chill-out zone. As on Alia 54 meter, semi-transparent side panels create a wind-protected area and further connection to the water. The lower guest accommodation comprises no fewer than six guest suites: two cabins with twin single beds and four VIPs with double beds. An elevator connects all levels from the lower deck to the sun deck. The master stateroom is on the upper deck forward to enjoy the best views high above the water. This suite includes a very large walk-in wardrobe and a dedicated owner lounge overlooking a private foredeck. The new Alia 60-metre project is scheduled for delivery to her owner in 2024.

Project: Uniesse Exuma HTC6

When Uniesse present the project of the Exuma 6 excitement is huge cause this project is an evolution of the 57 a favorite sport yacht here at PowerYacht presented in the fall of 1997 in open version, then in 2004 with the hard-top and produced till 2014. The Exuma HTC6 is a hard-top-coupe sport yacht of eighteen meters in length, and like the Exuma 5 is a further development of the successful 48, the Exuma 6 is an evolution of the 1997 presented 57 model which was the other success of the North Italian boat builder in the first decade of the 21st century.  Apart the subtle design changes outside like the window glazing serving all the cabin area, and renewed evolved hard-top look, there is other practical differences; the main deck is fully enclosed with a patio door, aft cockpit layout now features two L-shaped settees and a central entrance versus the aft bench settee and starboard passageway, and the bathing platform is now an up and down easy tender drop and lift.  The Uniesse Exuma 6 will offer a three cabins six berths lower deck layout, and while the layout is similar to that of the 57, the forward master cabin has been extended in length and features a large ensuite bathroom to starboard.  The new layout in the Exuma 6 eliminates the lower saloon, with the galley moving to port side from starboard, and also the single berth crew cabin located forward.  The Uniesse Exuma HTC6 is standard powered by twin Man 800hp with line shaft propulsion.  A buyer will have the choice of five other optional engines up to twin Man 1300hp with shafts, and Volvo 900 or 1000hp with IPS pod drives.  Top speeds are estimated at 35 knots with the standard engines and up to 43 knots with the large engine option.

Project: Princess F65

The last fall might have been a quiet one to the usual standards from Princess, but for Spring 2022 the new model announcements by the British builder seems to be making up for it, with three still secretive projects plus an evolution of a current model being announced.  The most secretive of these three new project is the new F65, which is the next evolution of Princess bread and butter F for flybridge range.  So far little information if any is known of this nineteen meter motor yacht, which is to replace the F62 and fill the void left by the F70 which was replaced by the Y72 in 2021.  Design is trusted to Pininfarina for exterior looks with naval architecture to the since the eighties standing Olesinski.  The above rendering shows the Italian design firm using similar looks and curves as seen in the F45 and the Y72.  Lower deck layout is said to be a four double cabins, with a forward VIP, owners room at midships, and two twin berth cabins in between.
