Projects: Fountaine Pajot 55 Queensland, Fountaine Pajot 40 Summerland
Fountaine Pajot presents 2 project models set to increase its Power Catamaran range in size and in offer. The first of these is the new flagship 55 Queensland, build on the experience gained with the 46 Cumberland, current biggest model. The 55 Queensland includes everything you could think in a boat of much bigger dimensions most of all as any catamaran is the immense salon combining lounge, dining room, galley and navigation room all this in a refined, luxurious atmosphere. Outside living areas continue the feeling of space with a huge flybridge combining outdoor galley, salon, sundeck, and the helm station. Fountaine Pajot also says of impeccable sea keeping for the new flagship with good waves absorption at speed, but also no rolling at beam seas or at anchor, easy manoeuvrability with dual engines, and last advises a 40% reduction in fuel consumption thanks to careful wet area study. Giving example of this are the power numbers which with twin 2 x 435hp Volvo D6 engines give a range of 1300 nautical miles at 11 knots, with this reduced to 460 nautical miles at the maximum cruising of 20 knots. If one desires more power a bigger engine option of twin 670hp D11 Volvos giving a max of 26 knots is available. 55 Queensland lower deck is a three cabin head version, with full starboard hull use for the owners cabin, and a crew cabin forward on the port side.
The other project model is the 40 Summerland, which will sit in the middle of the range between the 35 and 46 models. Designed for cruising, this new project wants to offer great comfort in terms of navigation and life on board. Its open spaces free of obstacles, sheltered cockpit and direct access to the flybridge make for easy sailing. The flybridge offers a sundeck, wide seats and an outside helm. Lower deck continues the theme for an open environment with light and comfort, with a saloon offering a dining area for 8 persons, and an easy access galley. Two passageways on both sides take you to the lower decks. The starboard side has the owner cabin fitted with a bed across and view out to sea, desk, dressing table and a private bathroom. To portside, two other fine guest cabins with double beds or twin beds, a shower and storage spaces. 40 Summerland also benefits from the incredible autonomy and range of what Fountaine Pajot calls the trawler catamarans, I would say not much trawler accept for the range and a lot of catamaran for the extra space. Performance data with twin Volvo D3 160hp is an 18 knot maximum speed, and top cruising of 13,5 knots. Range is an impressive 1000 miles at 7.5 knots burning less to 11 litres per hour.

Improve-it = Menorquin MY 145
Menorquin launches a new option for the interior layout of the MY 145; further expanding the shipyard’s entry into the 14 metre sector. An increased accommodation capacity by means of a third cabin, is the distinguishing feature of this variant of the Menorquin MY 145, which was first presented to the market in April 2007. This 14 metre family boat can now be chosen to accommodate one more person. To integrate the third cabin the Spanish builder made a redistribution of the interior space which emphasizes the MY 145’s vocation as a family cruiser, outstanding for its elegance and the endurance of its classic lines. The result is a spacious cruiser which is truly comfortable with the added bonus of a further cabin. To achieve this the dinette has been transferred to the upper deck, this allowing for a sleeping capacity of 7 people: 5 fixed berths and 2 convertible berths, whilst in the standard model the sleeping capacity is 6 people: 4 fixed and 2 convertible. Keeping the qualities Menorquin are renowned for, this new layout option for the MY 145 is also available to both the Hardtop and Flybridge versions.
www.menorquin.com 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.March 9, 2009

Project: Sessa 52 Fly
The ever attentive and improving Sessa Marine, take off its flybridge range set to present its first model the 52 Fly in the coming Genoa Boat Show next October. Sessa has 4 total models in plan for the new range from 45 to 70 feet, to debut them in a 4 years period, with a new name to be announced soon. 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. March 7, 2009
Projects: Queens Yachts 54, Queens Yachts 62, Queens Yachts 86
3 new project models from Queens Yachts another Italian builder coming from the Island of Sicily in Messina. This builder has a range of already 3 models, the 70 and two version for the 45 with latest being the Limited Edition presented in Genoa 2008. Here it presents the 54, 62, and its new planned flagship the 86. 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. March 6, 2009
Project: Coronet 350 Weekend
The new Coronet 350 Weekend which is to be the new flagship from the Danish builder signals a modern timeless design but also a keeping with smaller models of the range in particular the latest release the 290. It will also ensure recognisable looks to the old legendary Coronet models in the hull lines, and similar to the new ones with the upper structure. Coronets want to perceive the new model as having an exclusive look to the range, presenting a modern retro touched all weather hard top sport cruiser developed on the concept of the 290 Weekend. So far little details are available but we know that it will be a twin engined with stern drive propulsion. The cockpit aft deck will also offer a clever layout as seen on the 290 with an l-shaped settee all covered under the hard top, and a small sun lounger 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.
