Project: Sealine F46

A builder of extremes or not? This is the general thinking for Sealine, the British builder who in the nineties was the most adapter of all round bubble shaped designs, continuing with this strategy up to a few years back. Come 2 years ago and Sealine showed a minimal model with the SC35, and now it presents the F46 project first of the flybridge series to integrate this new modern design approach. The first rendering pictures, show a very extreme minimal look. Inside the novelty continues with a light filled two big cabin interior, mid ship full beam owners, and VIP to fore. Interesting is the galley and dining area setting below which is a light filled environment taking this from the lower helm windows. Upper saloon also welcomes you with 2 l-shaped settees, and the patio door is pivot opening, making here a single area with the aft cockpit. Flybridge setting is a central helm station, c-shaped sun lounger area forward to this, and a c-shaped settee on the aft part. Propulsion is pod drive with power options so far not being announced, but I do imagine similar options to the SC47 with Cummins Zeus of 425hp and 480hp and Volvo IPS600. Being a Brunswick company I would go blind folded for a Zeus Cummins aft looking pods setting as I am sure its hull will be mostly tested with this.

The design for the flybridge range is by Christian Grande who continues his work for Sessa as the recent models from this Italian firm. Here Grande presents a very sporty flybridge yacht, offering a rounded design with sharp edges associating a performing attitude reminiscent of sports cars from the fortys and sixties. Other important aspects of this range is the propulsion with all models set to be powered by Volvo IPS, but also the interior is set to offer something fresh from the competition with a 2 galley plan but also a layout associated for long time live aboard solutions. The 52 will be powered by the 2nd generation Volvo IPS850 pod drives. An other interesting feature will be its presenting color of white for the edges, and a bronze color with metal inserts for the rounded parts.

The 54 pictured above follows Queens Yachts concept of a fully enclosed hard top sport yacht offering its main living on the main deck, a theme offered in all of its models so far. Here one finds an l-shaped settee to port, entertainment unit and helm station to starboard. Down below one finds the three double cabins, the galley, and two bathrooms of which one en suite for the owner. Owners cabin is full beam, and its private bathroom offers a separate shower stall and also a bidet. Standard power is twin MAN R6 730hp. Queens Yachts 62 is the next model to be launched by this builder, with estimated presentation for the coming Spring. Designed by Alessandro Inno it offers a different main deck dedicated to free spaces with a circle shaped patio door which opens all, complimented by a semi circle settee which turns accordingly to ones desire. Galley is also located on the main deck saloon to starboard side. The lower deck is reserved for the 3 cabins all with private heads. Here we have the much requested layout with full beam owners cabin, VIP cabin to fore, and guests double cabin in between. Worth noting is the spaciousness of the owners en-suite having a length similar to the third guest cabin. Power is from twin MAN V8 900hp. Little information is so far offered of the new big Queens Yachts 86, which puts this builder in the Super Yacht league. A welcoming entertainment saloon l-shaped settee, and a galley welcome you inside of the 86. More forward of the main deck the plan shows a dining table for 8 to port, a central helm station, and an l-shaped settee. Just behind the l-shaped settee there is a day head on the main deck, unusual for a Sport Yacht also on this sizes, but which is much appreciated. Lower deck is reserved for the 4 guest cabins, with a central mid-ship master cabin offering also a walk in wardrobe. A double crew cabin and lobby is located to mid ship with entrance from the galley on the main deck. An additional single crew berth with private head is located aft.

Improve-it = Cabo 52 Express

Since its founding in 1991, Cabo always had the vision to be among the top builders sportfishing yachts design. This manifested itself in the fall of 2005 with the launching of the industry’s first production 52 Express. This colossal Cabo immediately became the battlewagon of choice for express devotees looking for more room and range in an open yacht design. Soon after the early success of the 52 Express, other production manufacturers began to plan and build their own versions; however, Cabo has maintained its reputation for superior performance, construction, fishability and design. Now, in the fall of 2008, at the behest of serious anglers looking to accommodate even larger teams over longer periods of time, Cabo raises the bar again with the introduction of a three-stateroom/two-head optional layout for the 52 Express. Cabo's acclaimed balance between functionality and beauty is clear throughout the accommodation spaces. The interior of this newly re-designed 52 Express is typical of Cabo Yachts' unmatched standards of quality and understated luxury. In every Cabo, fishability is both a focus and critical component. To that end, nothing about the cockpit or helm deck has been changed. Even better, there have been no compromises below deck. The new 52 Express three-stateroom layout does not rob space from the heart of this beast, the engine room. Still capable of harnessing twin CAT C32s for 3,100 total horsepower, it is obvious that performance and range are still the backbone of every Cabo.

Engine: MTU Series2000 M94 2600hp

MTU, one of the world’s most advanced diesel engine technology and systems providers, debuted its newest Series 2000 marine engine at the Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami last month. This newest version of the Series 2000, the M94 boasts the highest horsepower in its class and an improved power-to-weight ratio. Horsepower has been increased by up to 8% over the previous Series 2000 marine engine. The new power output ranges from 1193 kW (1600hp) up to 1939 kW (2600hp) at 2450rpm. The M94’s increased horsepower and excellent power-to-weight ratio was achieved thanks to MTU having the key technology know how in house: turbo charging, fuel injection and engine control. Turbocharger selection was optimized for fuel consumption at cruise speed and its ability to generate higher boost pressure at lower engine speeds. This is one of the major advances for a reduction of a vessel’s acceleration time. Another strong point of the MTU Series 2000 M94 engine is that it not only conforms to worldwide emissions standards, including EPA Tier 2 commercial and IMO, but also comes standard with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) certification. It features double wall fuel lines and triple wall water cooled turbocharger and exhaust routings that keep the engine surface temperature under 220° Celsius. This low engine surface temperature is not only a matter of safety, but a matter of comfort as well translating into a comparatively low engine room temperature. The M94 has also been engineered to be a quiet engine, with one of the lowest sound pressures, even at idle or slow speed operation. The M94 will be available to customers in 10 and 12-cylinder configurations beginning in March, with the 16-cylinder to follow in May. An 8-cylinder configuration will follow within this year.
