Project: Baia 30 Sevolution

Announced in 2010, this Baia new range Sevolution shows the innovative spirit of this Italian, Naples boat builder.  Now Baia goes more into details showing in its recently new web site the two models of the range the 26 and the 30.  The one pictured above is the 30, and will feature the innovative semi displacement shape designed in coperation with Naples Federico university as announced two years ago.  The 30 Sevolution will also be a three deck super yacht, something very fresh from Baia considering that the real flybridge they built was the custom one off 105 in early ninties.  By the way for those that don't know Sevolution is acronym for Sea Explorer Vessel Evolution.  Baia has so far given very little interior planning details for the 30 Sevolution, but as announced a very custom approach should be inline in the models along with a layout of cabins more similar to those of a house.  Top speed are expected to be of 22 knots, with a cruise of 18 and economic of 16.  Hybrid propulsion will be available, along with high use of solar panels, and RINA Green star certification.

Summer launch and world premiere in September for Queens 50 Fly, the new model of the Italian shipyard from Rosignano, in "Le Grand Pavois" at La Rochelle France: thanks to the collaboration with its exclusive area dealer.  The experience of the TDF Studio of architects Locarno and Vienna from Milan, led to a design of modern impact. The 50 Queens Fly although being a flybridge yacht offers a sporty, elegant silhouette characterized by large windows, and a fly that although generous in space does not create discontinuities in the line.  The Milan architects choose a modern interior following latest design trends; from a split level saloon with astern galley, and a lower deck with three double cabins served by two shower heads with full beam owners suite.  Interesting below in the middle and  between the cabins is also a small dining area.  Power is twin Volvo 435hp with IPS pod drives.  Interesting the technical area of the Queens 50 Fly is also very spacious offering easy inspection and maintenance.

Engine: Volvo V8 380hp

Volvo Penta announces a new V8-380, an intensely powerful engine that combines efficiency, strength and durability into a state-of-the-art package that delivers on performance and exceeds EPA/CARB requirements.  Volvo Penta’s advanced technology and design innovation combine to give the V8-380 more horsepower with 12% less fuel consumption. The engine includes other key features such as Variable Valve Timing, optimized for maximum low end torque and high end horsepower, and more than 270 pounds of weight savings, making it faster, lighter, and more efficient than the competition; all while still only requiring 87 octane fuel. Tough enough to haul a heavy boat, the V8-380 is also the same engine currently used in GM’s current truck line up, and is considered the most durable Volvo Penta has ever launched. Advancements such as an aluminum exhaust system as part of the complete freshwater cooling system provide additional durability, protection from corrosion, and savings over the life of the engine.

Project: Princess 52 Flybridge

Of the top three known British builders Princess has always been the one most conservative in adapting latest design trends of other Meditteranean builders.  This new 52 which replaces the 50 Mk.3 changes a lot of that as in fact this upcoming Princess model is one of the few builders, second from the Brits jumping on the hook of the astern galley serving the cockpit and the interior saloon.  The Princess 52 seems to bring lots of outstanding features in its layout, which is very well laid and spacious for a flybridge motor yacht measuring just over sixteen meters over all.  Nice features are added with the change position of the galley, which makes the lower deck plan having three double cabins with owners room to midships, and third guest cabin not being a bunk.  Two shower heads of similar size serve the cabins one of which is en suite for the owners stateroom.   Other interesting features are the flybridge which looks spacious for the size, and a bathing platform with up and down easy tender launching.  Princess also advise on the website that the 52 should be a boat which goes on the plane quite easily at low speeds giving owner a wider range of comfortable speeds.  It will be interesting to know if Princess have gone the latest Bernard Olesinski route of flatter Vee aft as the other British builder, though Princess never give dead rise data on the site and technical specification. The Princess 52 will be powered by three engine choices from Volvo 575 or optional 670hp or the largest Cat 715hp this last giving estimated max speeds of 31 knots.

New Model: Riviera 445 SUV

Sport Utility Vessel, that is what SUV means an acronym which started in cars having a mix of off-road, station wagon, and a modern look to them.  Rivera achieved this with its new 445 SUV mixing the likes of an express with those of a sportfish, and the comfort of a flybridge.  It is encouraging how the 445 SUV manages to scores good points in all areas without little compromise, and in all this still manages to create something new and fresh in the looks department.  To like in the 445 SUV is the aft deck with its mezzanine and its patio door which opens and creates a single area with the aft deck.  Down below is also a good level of space in two large cabins; owners suite to fore,  three berths midships room, and two heads.  Engines are twin Volvo 435hp with IPS pods propulsion.  We don't have speed data yet but I would imagine these to be similar to that of the 4400 Sport Yacht which delivers top end in mid low thirty knots, and cruise in mid high twenties.

Improve-it = Galeon 780 Crystal

 

Galeon shows how it can push the limits of customization not only in the smaller models of its range, available in half a dozen of versions outside and inside, but most important in its flagship the 2011 launched 780 Crystal.  Galeon has completed a unique 780 Crystal; hull number two, with a three person 4.45 meters tender called Baby Crystal specially custom build and designed for its flagship.  Baby Crystal looks very much a Galeon outside and is also luxuriously outfitted in the same way as the flagship.   The 780 Crystal in question was also specially reinforced to accommodate this seven hundred kilograms unique tender. Baby Crystal is fitted with 160hp jet engine, which gives a top speed of 38 knots.

Project: Mulder 95 Voyager

Mulder Shipyard in the Netherlands continues to grow and the most recent new order is from a Russian client who has commissioned the construction of the first 95 Voyager second in size behind the not so long ago launched 98 Flybridge. The exterior of this new Mulder super yacht is the brainchild of Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, while Vripack Naval Architects is responsible for construction and naval architecture. Construction on the hull will get underway soon at the new Rijdnijk facilities, while the launch and delivery under RINA Class, are slated for spring 2014. The Dutch design company Omega Architects of Frank Laupman who had previously already created the interiors of the 98 Flybridge and Bellagio series for Mulder, designed the elegant semi-custom 95 Voyager in a classic contemporary style mixing minimal with classic with lots of space and an especially impressive main saloon and master stateroom. The Mulder 95 Voyager will features a four double guest cabins accommodation with VIP to fore, two twin cabins, and owners stateroom worthy of that name in this size of yacht having 24 squared meters of dimensions.  Other interesting features are the performance of the 95 Voyager which is to be powered by twin 1150hp Cat engines giving an interesting 20 knots max speed, 15 knots cruise, and a 10 knots economic which can give a trans Atlantic range of up to 3600 nautical miles.   Meantime Mulder and Omega are preparing for a full Voyager line with an 84, 104, and a future 114 triple deck flagship being in the planning room.
