Project: Numarine 130 WB

Turkish yacht builder Numarine presents the 130 WB so far its largest project and here showing a design rendering. The130 WB will be a forty meter Super Yacht with a beam of over eight meters. Architect Spadolini gave a progressive design approach, taking hints from the latest presented Numarine models with a sleek, and stylish but at the same time aggressive looking profile. The 130 WB this acronym standing for wide body will have a full beam main deck which represents the saloon, and master cabin which will also be serviced by the latest trend of opening balconies. In this case three, two for the saloon, and one for the owners cabin. The aft bathing platform of the 130 WB will also follow latest trends offering a beach deck with ample space for sunbathing, socializing, and showering. The interior will be of a semi custom approach configured to accommodate five or six cabins, this also depending on the place where one locates the galley. The 130 WB will also boast two staircases, one for the guests and another for crew movements. Crew space will be for three doubles, and one captains cabin. Numarine is estimating speeds with the bigger engine choice of a 28 knots maximum for its new planned flagship.

New Model: Moonen 99 Alu

The new Moonen 99 Alu is a further development of the first Fast Yacht Series, from the four cabin 94 Alu. Two yachts Nilo and Infinity, both launched in 2007 introduced the Moonen 94 Alu. Like all Alu yachts, the 99 is built of Sealium, a lightweight, strong, highly corrosion resistant aluminium alloy. She has a tank-tested hull and is driven by Servogear Controllable Pitch Propellers set in high efficiency tunnels. Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesels, she has a composite built antenna mast and bimini top, to save weight aloft and assure her top speed of 26 knots. Named Phoebe hull number one of the new 99 Alu is classed by Bureau Veritas and has MCA certification. The 99 Alu as other recent Moonen models, was styled by René van der Velden Yacht Design over a hullform of Stolk Marimecs naval architecture. Rhoades Young, in cooperation with Moonen, suggested a variation of the interior layout and created dedicated styling for the client. The 99 Alu has the same superstructure footprint as the 94 with essentially the same accommodations and engine room areas. The added length was applied to enlarging crew quarters and lengthening the main after deck and flying bridge. On the main deck, the saloon is typical of many Moonen yachts, but has a larger adjoining enclosed galley with its own door to the side deck. The wheelhouse centres on a console with engine controls; a plush settee is set aft for guest observation. Stairs lead to the flying bridge and sundeck. Below, the full beam master suite has an open plan. Forward, the watertight bulkhead has been moved slightly aft to enlarge the VIP suite. The joinery design by Rhoades Young makes use of a rich walnut with contrasting white painted surfaces and fabric panel insets.

New Model: Gamefisherman 46 Flybridge

Gamefisherman is another of the custom and semi production builders, but this one originating from the Florida area, and also concentrating most of its range to smaller under fifty feet models. Many of today's custom builders are going above the fifty foot mark, and when they build small it is normally a centre console design with outboards then a cabin convertible type. Here we present the 46 Flybridge the latest creation of its experienced president Michael T. Matlack, who before founding Gamefisherman in 1985 has been at the head of such great names as Bertram, and Rybovich. This new 46 Flybridge might be a replacement to the 45 and is a pure sportfish machine with a spartan interior offering three or four berths on bunks with a fore head, a convertible settee, and a galley. Power to this very traditional looking Sportfish Cruiser is by twin Cummins 715hp.

Projects: Parisi 850 Open, Parisi 850 Cabin

Founded in 1979 but with a real story that started in the thirties, Parisi has in recent years joined the Inrizzardi Group. The 850 which will available in two distinctive Open and Cabin style is the first Traditional Gozzo Cruiser project to come since Parisi joined the Italian Group of boat builders, which today counts seven important brands to its name, all located on the West sea part of Italy. Pictured above is the 850 Open project, which distinct itself from the Cabin version presented below with its lower profiled upper cabin structure. Other differences are the galley up on the main deck, and less spacious interior, this having three berths coming from a convertible V-shaped dinette to fore, and a single adult or two children mid ship berth. Below is also a separate shower head. Power options are from a single 230hp or twin 160hp diesel engines propelled with traditional in line shafts. While having an identical hull as the 850 Open, the Cabin version represents a real impressive interior offering superb accommodation for a Traditional Gozzo Cruiser of this size. In fact the 850 Cabin will offer an interior boasting four berths in a forward vee shaped double, and in a second mid ship located double bed. Apart this the 850 Cabin also offers a galley below, and a dining table for four which can convert to an additional berth. The 850 Cabin is also available with a stainless steel radar arch as pictured above, or an all weather hard top. Both Parisi 850 Open and Cabin will be built with a fibreglass hull, but will also have traditional amenities like full teak deck outside, and a wooden toe rail. The power options are also the same as the Open, with a single 230hp or twin 160hp engines which the builder estimates max speed of 30 plus knots, and a cruise of 22 to 24 knots on both versions.

Improve-it = Riviera 70 Enclosed Flybridge

Christmas has come early this year for two loyal Riviera owners, taking possession of their brand new 70 Enclosed Flybridges, both customised to the hilt and representing more important sales for Riviera current flagship. The first, will be among Australia’s best equipped luxury game Sportfish Yachts, and is named “Born to Battle” now belonging to an elated Peter Teakle, who set out to create the ideal home for cruising and competing. In his 50,000 nautical miles over twenty years and six Riviera’s, Peter has learned which details make a great game fishing boat, combined with those features that top it off as a thoroughly exquisite cruising boat. The retired Peter Teakle plans to cruise The Whitsundays, exploring the 74 islands in the group and seriously competing in the annual Lizard Island Game Fishing Tournament in which he was instrumental in changing the format to a tag-and-release competition. So enthused is Peter Teakle with his latest addition to his fleet, his new 70 Enclosed Flybridge is painted in Peter’s trademark colour scheme of black hull with black and gold detailing to the superstructure, that he has barely had the keys two days before taking off to his home port of Hamilton Island where the locals are holding their breath in anticipation of her arrival. They will not be disappointed. ‘Born to Battle’ is decked out with over one million dollars in extras, from the upgraded MTU engines boasting nearly 4,000hp, and an ice chipper that blasts out 12kg of ice per hour, to five hundred thousands in Furuno electronics, controlled by a mouse in the Skipper’s helm chair. There are even water sensing devices that operate the windscreen wipers, inspired by the same technology in Peter’s BMW. The engine room is something to behold, equipping Peter’s fourth boat with MTUs, effectively a Mercedes Benz in this case two 1920hp engines. The massive exhausts are sourced from Italy. All up, the engineering of ‘Born to Battle’ is the most advanced in Australia and is truly world standard. Also installed, for comfortable cruising and extra stability during offshore tournaments is a gyro stabiliser system, which virtually eliminates low speed boat roll, at anchor and underway. Peter and Nina have also designed the internal layout to suit the dual purpose of ‘Born to Battle’. The floor plan features the galley aft, flowing out to mezzanine seating and cockpit, plus a detachable boarding platform that can be removed for serious, competitive game fishing. The lounge area is forward of the galley and consists of two generous size tables on either side of the boat, both featuring wrap-around seating crafted in the softest beige leather. There’s also a matching leather bench seat capable of seating up to five adults adjacent to the impeccably equipped galley, but to call it a ‘breakfast bar’ is like calling Born to Battle a barge. Sleeping eight in four cabins, the boat was specifically designed for two couples and three full-time crew. There is a palatial full beam master suite, a guest double stateroom with en suite and the third cabin has been converted into a “bells and whistles” office housing Peter’s gadgets, computers and storage for every manual this technically advanced boat boasts. At the bow are two spacious crew cabins and a fourth bathroom. No detail has been overlooked, from the teak woodwork throughout, Amtico floors, and a neutral palette that owes a lot to Nina’s Swedish origins. Prior to its presentation, ‘Born to Battle’ was put through its paces by Steve McPherson from R Marine, who went as far as spending several nights onboard out on the Gold Coast Broad water to put ‘Born to Battle’ and all of her machinery and equipment through a series of thorough tests. Another Riviera 70 that is enjoying its finishing touches in preparation for delivery is bound for New Zealand and due to be handed over by Bruce McGill and his team from R Marine in Auckland before Christmas. The owner, his crew and Bruce McGill intend to cruise the boat to her home port in Auckland earlier in the New Year. Their delivery trip will take them, 438nm from the Gold Coast to the pristine, rugged and supremely beautiful island of Lord Howe Island for some serious exploring. At Lord Howe they will then take on fuel for the 800nm passage to New Zealand. The Riviera 70 boasts a cruise speed of 30 knots and top speed of 35 knots and a range of 1,000 nm. So far, Riviera has built and launched five of its 2008 presented flagship 70s, more like custom builds than production boats and nearly qualifying to a Super Sportfish status.

The new MFS 62 will have a beam of over five metres and a relatively shallow draft for its length of just over one metre. The sport yacht will hold 3596 litres of fuel offering a variety of cruising speeds with ranges based on the final power plant selection and speeds used. The yacht includes three staterooms below, one of which is a full beam master suite. The galley is half a level below the main deck and includes the salon and pilot area under a retracting sunroof. The aft deck includes a sunning pad and dining areas and access to the engine room or an optional crew lounge and cabin below. The swim step is accessible from either side, and lifts to reveal a tender garage positioned above the engine space. Kha Shing also says for a flybridge version to be offered later on, although we still don't know if this is a completely new motor yacht with different super structure or just the latest trend of offering a Sport Bridge with a helm station and a sunbathing space above the hardtop of the MFS62.

The new Princess V85-S takes the Princess V-class sports yacht range to the next level of quality and performance, with its redesigned main deck layout, an enhanced materials specification, and a new more powerful engine option which guarantees a thoroughbred sporting performance. The V85-S is a triumph of modern design, advanced engineering and traditional craftsmanship. Excitement and relaxation are available in equal measure, encapsulated in a sleeker exterior style that blends with her sport profile. Special weight reducing techniques are employed in a state of the art construction method to ensure maximum performance and efficiency gains from the latest engine technology.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SL104

Renowned Italian Super Yacht builder Sanlorenzo presents the new SL104, receiving exterior design treatment from architects Franceso Paszkowski outside, and Rodolfo Dordoni inside. What long standing Sanlorezo collaborator Paszkowski for the SL104 presents a total redifinition to looks and echoes of this highly regard builder, with echoes of the 40 Alloy in the radar arch, new stern, and now having also hiding anchors. The main deck looks also less aggressive offering better comfort thanks to more height, with the raised forward pilot house also receiving a further movement to fore in order to offer a bigger flybridge deck. Although unless you see a Sanlorenzo 100, the model the new SL104 replaces next to each other this is very difficult to tell. A big change is also to the bathing platform with the SL104 having the longest platform ever seen on a Sanlorenzo with a bit of a new design here to the usual looks which have stayed with the Viareggio builder since the mid nineties. Further changes are also in the aft part of the flybridge use, now reserved as a sun worshippers paradise instead the usually tender stowage area. Milan interior designer Roldolfo Dordoni presented also an interior which looks more to luxury then to a lot of cabins with a three or four guest cabins plan. This last is quite standard in this size, with the three cabin plan being very unusual for a hundred footer. Crew space is for three or five in a two or three cabin plan. The SL104 has a fifteen degrees medium vee shaped hull, rather angled for this size with much of the competition usually offering flatter sections aft. Power is by twin MTU 2435hp which gives the SL104 a 28 knots wide open throttle performance, with a 26 knots all time cruise.
