INBUILD ~ Galeon 340 Fly Part 3 of 4

Part three of the INBUILD dedicated to the Galeon 340 Fly series. So far we have shown you outer parts of this new Polish Motor Cruiser set to be World Premiered in Dusseldorf coming January. In the previous two series you saw the hull mould as in part one, and the upper structure as it was being prepared in the second chapter. Today we show you the interior part of the living main deck in a plane empty fiberglass only form, being prepared prior to the furniture is actually fitted in. Unless you visit a boat builder this is impossible to see, and even in this case many builders actually don't show the moulding rooms. The picture above is showing the main saloon, to the left is the table which will be the convertible C-shaped dinette, and to the right the place where the bench with the helm station will be located. Behind the helm is the the space for the galley. This picture was actually taken at the start of this month, with Galeon senior technical department having a busy end of year festive season in order to complete the 340 Fly for Dusseldorf. www.galeon.pl

Projects: Mustang 550 Sports Euro, Mustang 500 Sports Coupe, Mustang 2850 Sport Cruiser

Australian boat builder Mustang comes from a healthy period of novelties fueled by the release of its new Sport range presented a little less then over a year ago with the 430. Today the down under builder offers three interesting new projects, two on the higher end, and one being an entry level to its range. Rendering above show the new 550 Sports Euro what will be so far the new flagship of Mustang's range. As all the Sports range the new 550 is designed with a European style in looks and practicality, with the Euro name here representing the flybridge version. This truly luxurious boat will like boasting modern and high end quality furnishing offering the perfect entertainment with large but warm layouts. Her interior layout will offer a three double cabin two head interior plan, here finding a full beam owners suite mid ship, VIP to fore, and double bunk berth. Power will be from a triple Volvo IPS600 set up. Inspired by in-house designers and accomplished down under naval architects the Mustang 500 Sports Coupe project is created to meet the expectations of today's serious and experienced boat owner. Using high quality materials, the most modern production techniques and strict quality assurances, the Mustang 500 Sports Coupe is a new expression of performance boating from Australia. With expansive and functional single level living, exciting cabin layouts, the 500 Sports Coupe offers an identical three cabin interior to the 550 above minus the second helm station above. It is basically a more sportier version of the flybridge motor yacht 550 Sport Euro, identical in size and comfort, but missing the flybridge deck here replaced by an opening sunroof. The 500 Sports Coupe is also powered by triple Volvo IPS600 which is coupled to a proven sea keeping hull design.

The last rendering above introduces the new 2850 Sports Cruiser project what features modern usability with styling in mind. The 2850 Sports Cruiser will be Mustang introduction entry level model, opening the door to first time boaters into its range. The 2850 Sports Cruiser will have a one level open cockpit and larger than normal internal space with four berths in two areas, separate shower head, and a galley. Mustang says the interior of the 2850 Sports Cruiser will be one of the roomiest in this size sports cruiser. The 2850 Sports Cruiser will be offered with two power options from Mercruiser or Volvo both in petrol versions. So far it seems there is no diesel choice, but also a limited fuel tank of only 300 litres which should make for a short range of only about a hundred miles.

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.

After presenting the larger 34 metre Super Yacht a few days ago, today we present you the smaller nineteen metre of the Monte Fino S, what is a new range of Kha Shing existing Monte line targeting clients who are looking for luxurious Sport Yacht. The all new MFS 62 is a Sport Yacht, to my knowledge the first of this type from the Taiwanese builder, and will provide thirty plus knots speeds by using pod propulsion. 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.
