Project: Greenline GL40

Greenline present the project of the GL40 model, what is another explorer cruiser based on her smaller sister, the GL33. Introduced in September 2009, the Greenline 33 has found over 120 owners throughout Europe in the first year, and has been since awarded with numerous boat and environmental awards. Designed by Seaway and J and J Design from Slovenia the Greenline GL40 is a larger yacht of similar looks and the same philosophy as her smaller 33 sister: with ease of handling, safety and seaworthiness for long lasting well-being on board. The low-drag energy-saving Superdisplacement hull coupled to hybrid diesel electric engines, and solar technology brings unknown efficiency in for the use of this explorer cruiser. The GL40 will offer a six berth sleeping accommodation located in two cabins below, plus a convertible saloon on the main deck.  A single shower head located below serves the guests.  Power is from standard single 75hp which give speeds up to 9 knots.  But further options from a single 165, or 225, and twin 165hp engines give top speeds up to 18 knots.  The electronic engine is 20kw, and gives 20 minutes solo use, and a speed of 7 max, and 6 knots of cruise.

New Model: Greenline 70 Ocean Class

The second model from Greenline who after launching the much praised 33 Hybrid goes to more the double size presenting the 70 Ocean Class.  Greenline is part of the Slovenian Seaway Group, and the 70 Ocean Class is in my understanding the hybrid more Eco friendly version of the Skagen 70 with some little differences in the exterior.  A patented hull named Superdisplacement along with optional Lithium powered electric engine with range for twenty nautical miles are part of the new Greenline large explorer yacht package.  You can also have an optional hard top which will feature a solar panel and give three kw of electricity during sun time.  But apart some green features which are optional, standard equipment should be quite generous and also offer ABT Trac stabilizers.  The interior is more looking to that of a standard motor yacht plan then for an Explorer Trawler type vessel with living on the main deck having saloon, galley, dining and helm, and below dedicated to the cabins.  The standard lower deck plan is a double three cabins layout with owners stateroom located to midships, plus a two berth crew cabin to aft.  An optional four cabins version should be presented later on.  Standard power is from twin 800hp engines which give a 22 knots top speed, and 19 knots of cruise.  But Greenline says that at lower speeds a transatlantic range should be possible.
