Project: Jet Tern Selene 44

Selene announce and present the newest project in the next generation series the 44. First delivery is to be in early 2010. Like the other next generation models, the 44 is designed to be a serious passage maker and a superlative coast wise and inland cruiser. As a next generation model, the Selene 44 features the Cruiser Stern. The new hull design results in nearly a one-foot increase in engine room headroom to 66 inches and allows plenty of room for the proven, standard Cummins 230hp engine. The extra height also allows for expansion of the fuel tanks to a total of 1,000 U.S. gallons. Thanks to the extra height in the engine room, the tanks are designed to be narrower yielding even more space in the engine room. The new 44 replaces the 43 with an additional half a foot on the LOA increasing the interior saloon space by six more inches. Its innovative cruiser stern increases hull efficiency by around 8% as measured in tank tests. The increased hull efficiency translates into fuel savings as well as more sea-kindly handling in following seas. Evolved from the original Selene 43 which had a center line galley, the new Selene 44 has the galley offset to starboard providing a more spacious and accommodating saloon with easy access to the pilothouse. The pilothouse settee is L-shaped and also offset to starboard which creates room for a small helm chair in the pilothouse. With a spacious master stateroom forward, the new Selene 44 is ideal for couple’s cruising though an additional stateroom to port can accommodate occasional guests. There are two full heads with enclosed showers. Though the Selene 44 is at the smaller end of trawlers built by Jet Tern Marine she is equipped with many features like a washer/dryer and Frigoboat freezer usually found on larger yachts. Her engine and tank size make capable of long-distance cruising and at a seven knots cruise speed the trawler will offer a 3,000 mile range.

With the 58 Targa Gran Turismo, Fairline seem also set to compete with the Italians on the amount of view windows on the hull sides. Speeds for the new upcoming second in size of the Targa fleet go from slow 30 knots speeds with twin Volvo's D12-800 up to a high performing 40 knots with twin MAN V8 1200.

Projects: Azimut 78, Azimut 74 Magellano, Azimut 72S, Azimut 40S

As Azimut highly anticipated at the end of last year, the 2009 will mark the presentation of eight new models. The first new model presented was the innovative 53, previewed during the Yachting Gala. PowerYachtBlog also gave an exclusive detailed anticipation to the new 38 Flybridge which Azimut in cooperation with its British dealer Clipper Marine will present at the Southampton boat show. Now is the turn to present four Azimut projects to be unveiled during the important shows the coming fall. Azimut gave little details of the new models so the comments here are a guess of what can be seen in the rendering images. Surely as is in all the new models of the Italian builder, the exterior design is entrusted to Stefano Righini, with Carlo Galeazzi taking care for the interiors. The first of our presentations is the Azimut 78 which looks to be a further development to the 75. The new 78 apart length adds also opening view windows in the cabins. With the single big view window in the owners stateroom, now replaced by a set of four vertical windows which also open to allow a natural flow of air. The Azimut 74 Magellano, has finally arrived. Paolo Vitelli President of the Azimut Benetti Group has given hints for this projects in his past interviews and finally it looks to be here. If his interviews are correct the 74 Magellano will have an extended range of round 1000 nautical miles, with max speeds in the low twenties, and cruising of around fifteen knots. This will be the last debuted of the eight new models for 2009, with November month being announced as its launching date. Still it is also the most expected from the media as well as the yachtsman. The year 2009 marks new additions to the Azimut S line, after an absence of 2 years. The 103 SL was the last new model presented for this line during the Dubai Show of 2007. Now the 72S is the next upcoming model and is set to be presented at the Cannes show. As the rendering clearly shows the 72S will have a sport bridge offering a second helm station up top but without disturbing the sleek lines Sport Yacht looks. This is the second Azimut with a sport bridge, with the only other being the 103 SL flagship of the line. Azimut presents also a new smaller S line model, with the 40S. So far no details are announced but imagine a similar two double cabin two head interior, as is the case for the new entry level 38 Flybridge.
