Project: Italian Yachts 72 Jaguar

Design, a sporty, stylish, powerful and comfortable Sport Yacht. These are the characteristics Italian Yachts asked to architect Roberto Angel for the project of the 72 Jaguar. Based on the philosophy of a high performance hull, four possible power options are available from the smaller 1500hp up to 1800hp twin MTU engines, and Arneson or Sea Rex surface drives. Roberto Angel transformed the requested philosophy into simple geometric shapes that enhance the aerodynamics of the deckhouse, while at the same time not staying away from the Jaguar open tradition. The Jaguar 72 project maintains a family feeling in a new emphasis on the sporty soul of the Italian Yachts brand. Exterior lines are clean and essential with large elliptical windows favoring plenty of natural light into interior spaces. Lateral side passageways favor continuity fore to aft of the deck, enabling the perception of a uniform outer environment. Forward, is a solution that is more unique than original, a central sunpad and modular seating to accommodate numerous guests. As on the 80 Jaguar, the 72 first presented as a 70 feet project maintains a sober style, with a uniform look seen trough the Italian Yachts range following a great care for quality and finishing of the complete product.

Project: Integrity 90 Flybridge

Dubai boat builder Integrity after the presentation of the 55 Flybridge in 2008, continues to upgrade by showing details for a 90 Flybridge super yacht model expected to be launched in the fall of this year. The 90 Flybridge is Integrity second model and will also be its flagship at 90 feet. Offering modern stream lined looks outside, with the latest comfort innovations like the forward c-shaped settee, hard top on the flybridge, and full view windows for the owners cabin the 90 Flybridge seems ready to compete with more renowned long standing brands. Lower deck accommodation is a classic layout with four cabins all with private heads. Full beam owners cabin, VIP cabin to fore, and two guest cabins in between. The aft part is dedicated to a crew lobby with 2 cabins, separate head and shower room, l-shaped settee, and direct engine room access. Living area is also a classic layout plan with a c-shaped saloon upon entrance, a dining table for 8, separate galley, helm station and c-shaped settee for guests during passageways. Hull shape is planning, with twin propulsion and direct shafts. Engines and speeds have not been announced, but by the looks and concept I would estimate performance of around 30 knots.

Project: Rose Island 43 Lobster

In so difficult global economic conditions Italian builder Rose Island decides to continue its expansion plans, by presenting the 43 Lobster next project of its Traditional boat range standing in between the long standing 38 and 49 models. Once again Rose Island continues to bet on young designer Marino Alfani, who continues the philosophy which has gave Rose Island so much fortune. Seeing the rendering of this new 43 Lobster project we cannot not notice the classic fashion and timeless elegance which has always been the half part of this builders DNA, with the other being sea keeping, low fuel consumption, long range and performance. In this new 43 Lobster great importance is being given to spacious areas outside and inside. Outside this is easily visible thanks to the superior extended cockpit aft, wide decks, and spacious sunbed on the forward deck. Down below the more space theme continues thanks to the two owner and VIP cabins, both with private en-suite heads. Worth to note and also unusual for a boat of this type and size is the double owners heads. Impressive is also the data, like the estimated performance top speed of 32 knots, with not so big twin 450hp FPT engines pushing this 13 tons cruiser, but also the 2000 litres fuel tank which shows when Rose Island speaks of range it is talking business. Constructed to CE A category and hand crafted, Rose Island owner Engineer Fabio Rosa is a firm believer of two quality visions in boat building: the visible one which is what you can see and touch and the hidden construction standard which he says is impeccable for his jewels.
