Engine: MAN V12 1800hp

The new V12-1800 MAN Nutzfahrzeuge presents a genuine power package of a top performing diesel in its ­engine range generating a maximum torque of 6020 Nm even at 1200 rpm and accelerating at an impressive pace. The 12-cylinder brings yachts into the planing phase fast, achieving high speeds in next to no time. Common Rail direct injection enables fuel injection at very high pressure, producing optimally smooth running and the pleasant ride comfort of this V12. Two-stage ­turbocharging­ also features in the engine's technology. Compactly scaled at 2087 x 1153 x 1275 mm (L x W x H without gearbox), the V12-1800 leaves designers plenty of freedom and flexibility when planning their yachts. Weight is another advantage, in relation to performance the 12-cylinder at just 2365 kg weighs in at 1.31 kg per unit of horsepower. To achieve features like these, MAN's engineers further developed the V-series throughout, optimising engine components in the process. Cooling of the new V12 is by a plate heat exchanger, which allows flexible configuration of the cooling system. In addition to this the V12 comes with a space-saving and low-weight SAE1 flywheel housing. An advantage for engine installation by a boat builder is the modified exhaust system with a central gas outlet. All parts needing maintenance such as fuel and oil filters are arranged for ease of access. And the water pump is driven by a gear instead of a belt. Turning to the engine proper, here too the designers have made interesting modifications. The V12-1800 generates a constant 1800 hp (1324 kW) between 2100 and 2350 rpm. The use of extremely high-strength materials, such as steel pistons, permits gas pressures up to 240 bar and ignition pressures up to 1600 bar. Here a bedplate concept is implemented in a yacht engine for the first time to create the extra strength. This bedplate replaces the single bearing caps of the crankshaft, and plays a major part in reinforcing the crank case and minimising noise emission. Second-generation Common Rail injection plus an optimally conceived combustion process mean high performance together with exemplary emission figures. The V12-1800 naturally complies with current international exhaust directives.

New Model: Apreamare 64 Fly

Apreamare reinvents the traditional Gozzo again, this time not in a so big way as it did in its glorious past, but by offering a flybridge version to its 64 feet model. Obviously this new 64 feet Fly, keeps the excellent layout of the standard version 64, flagship of the Gozzo range and a redevelopment of the Apreamare 60. Distinct features of this model are the bow area with the much appreciated U-shaped sofa, and the stern area, which is the project's key point, thanks to its unique design which from a relaxing settee transforms into a sundeck, blending perfectly with the lines of the hull. Hallmark of the 64 Fly, is obviously represented by the added flybridge, with its second helm station to port, a c-shaped settee to starboard and a two person sun lounger looking aft. Below we have the marvelous 3 cabin 3 head layout with an aft crew cabin, and spacious full beam owners cabin which also features a spacious relaxing bath tub. The materials used for the furniture are extremely natural and classic, with a predominance of shiny and matt mahogany, Viennese straw and mirrored, chrome plated and steel hardware

Project: Cruisers 460 Sports Coupe

Set for its debut in 2009, is the project for the new upcoming Cruisers, the 460 Sports Coupe. As the title suggest this will be a hard top sports cruiser, offering full weather protection being it sun, wind or rain in the two thirds of the aft entertainment cockpit deck. 460 Sports Coupe will be an only Volvo IPS boat, and will have an exterior design profile taking a lot from the latest 520 and 420 Sports Coupe Models. Interior will be a 2 stateroom plan, with a full beam owners cabin to mid ship and a VIP cabin to fore. The entertainment deck will have a c-shaped settee aft, an l-shaped settee to port of the helm station and an outside galley area to starboard aft, which offers a convenient Al-fresco galley. 460 Sports Coupe follows the latest Cruiser design and as its bigger sister ship offers the trademark walk through windshield, something you will find only on a Cruisers hard top. Power for the new 460 is by twin Volvo's IPS500, IPS600 or the new IPS550 petrol engine. Worth to note is also the standard options list, which is among the most extensive in its size range.

New Model: Cranchi 43 Atlantique

A much waited new model, from well known Italian builder Cranchi is the 43 Atlantique, fitting in the Flybridge Yacht range, between hard standing 40 and 50 Atlantique models. The hull lines of the new Cranchi motor cruiser are based on the 43 Mediterranee, with a similar planned lower deck, offering 2 cabins and 2 heads with master cabin to fore, but with the mid guest cabin offering a more family orientated 2 single berths. As the 43 Mediterranee, the new 43 Atlantique uses IPS propulsion, the successful Pod drive from Volvo, which has seen great use on express open or hard top cruisers and yachts, but so far the flybridge boats with this system are very limited. 43 Atlantique will surely gain on better consumption and performace with the use of IPS, compared to similar flybridge cruisers who still use conventional shafts. As all recent Cranchis, this new model continues the family design by Aldo Cranchi, who presents a modern flybridge motor cruiser with a Mediterranean feel. 43 Atlantique is powered by twin Volvo IPS 500 or 600 of 435 hp, with the later option topping speeds of 35 knots max, and a 30 knots cruising which give an economical consumption of 53 litres per hour engine.

Projects: Peri 41 T, Peri 34, Peri 32

Peri Yachts is a Turkish builder, who has caught the attention of the yachting community with the launching of the Peri 29 a few years ago, and with the extend of its range this fall with the second model presented the 37 metres. A new player in the Super Yacht segment Peri is here to stay, offering stunning looking modern yachts, with a good quality build. The range is aimed to increase in numbers in the coming years, with 3 new models already on plan and some in building stages. The 41 T is the future flagship for the Turkish builder, designed as all the range by Scaro Design she will be a triple decked yacht, with 4 guest cabins on the lower deck, and owners cabin on the main deck. Performance estimates are also interesting offering 25 knots of top speed, and a range of 1250 nautical miles. Peri 34 will sit in the middle of the Turkish builder range, and continues the stunning looks which made the success of the Peri 29. The 34 as its smaller sister is a 2 deck and a half yacht, with raised pilot house. Interior will be a 4 cabin layout, but with the owners cabin on the main deck, offering impressive spaces. Crew quarter's is located aft, with sleeping for 5 members. Performance is a 26 knots top speed with the higher hp option, giving a range of up to 950 nautical miles.

The Peri 32 continues the evolution of the 29 lines, of an ultra modern super yacht with two and a half decks, with classic functionality, as designed by Scaro. The layout is similar to the 34 with a master cabin on the main deck, and 3 guest cabins on the lower deck. Crew space is also for 5 members, all located aft. Performance is on the same level to its bigger sisters, with the only available option giving 26 knots of top speed. The main difference is in the range with the Peri 32 having a shorter 500 nautical mile range.

New Model: Abacus 54

The Abacus 52 is a very interesting new model in its size range, aimed as entry level for the Italian Sicilian builder founded in 2003. Presented officially during last months Genoa Show, the 52 had to be one of the winning motor yachts in its size during the show and among Fulvio De Simoni best works for a flybridge boat. For someone who designs a quarter of the boats in this size and style this is saying something, but the Abacus 52 is a close call to perfection with three spacious areas which is to be the envy of bigger yachts. The living salon area for example is very well planned, but also the flybridge, and the cabin area are second to none. The three guest cabins are all spacious and none of the cabins is a bunk, and the full beam owners suite is really something coming out of a much bigger boat. Saloon is also well planned featuring a c-shaped settee, a dining table for four, and a very spacious galley. Flybridge is also big with an l-shaped settee to aft seating 10, 2 cabinets and a conveniently located sun pad forward. In all this the engine room is also spacious with fuel tanks located to fore of the engines, and even the crew cabin located aft has much more space then one would think. Performance is also interesting with twin Caterpillar 715hp allowing for 34 knots max, and 30 knots cruising speeds. Abacus with help of World famous designer Fulvio De Simoni, has been presenting great designs and the success of the 62 and 70 models is testimony to this, but I personally think that with this new 52 model the yard has done a lot, improving the design schematics of similar sized boats, but also putting ideas from bigger sizes to improve it all. The 52 comes also at a very competitive price with good standard equipment, which if the quality corresponds to that of its bigger sisters is really an unbeatable package.

Project: Doqueve 70

Doqueve 70 is the new flagship from this builder coming out of Spain. With the new 70, Doqueve enlarge its range to 6 models, starting from 34 feet, all with flybridge of Mediterranean interpretation. The details so far available of the new 70 flagship, is that it will have a single level saloon with dining area forward, a four cabin lower deck with full beam owners cabin, spacious flybridge with seating for 10 person, and automated high low bathing platform for easy tender launch recovery. Power is provided by twin Caterpillar C18 of 1015hp, which the builder estimates should give top speeds of 29 knots up to 33, although I think more 29. The design of the Doqueve flagship seems also more original as to the smaller models, which so far seem taking a little too much from a famous Italian builder lines.

New Model: Nimbus 365 Coupe

The Nimbus 365 Coupé was unveiled to the world on the occasion of the Nimbus Boats Open House in Långedrag between 22 and 24 August. This boat is the first of a brand new generation of Nimbus Coupés based on the successful "sidewalk" concept, a new type of deck layout that maximises the available space on one side of the boat, making deck communications easy, while at the same time adding cockpit and cabin spaces. In addition to the sidewalk, the most obvious of these is a more modern style, glued windows with a large curved front window, a flush-mounted sliding door on the starboard side and a large opening glass roof. The innovative flush-mounted side door allows maximum gangway width and a wide door opening, in addition the boat offers a large after deck on the same level as the bathing platform and the saloon. The 365 Coupé has been developed with catchwords such as solid, functional, comfort and silence in mind using modern design employing environment conscious production technology. The plastic is manufactured solely by the latest vacuum injection, an extremely environment-friendly closed manufacturing process. producing a lighter and more rigid boat, giving better cruising speeds with less HP, which equals in less initial cost and fuel consumption. The lower accommodation deck offers a generous forward cabin with a large double berth, a guest cabin on the port side has a double bed plus a sofa, and a double entrance head with full-height shower cubicle with swinging door. The interior upper deck features a c-shaped settee transformable to an extra double berth and the galley with cooker and sink hidden by flash wooden surfaces, which fold up easily when in need. The new Nimbus 365 Coupé is a modern, solid and functional boat with a lot of attention being put by the Swedish builder to reduce environmental impact, adding to the top selling status of over 3,000 boats produced over the years.
