Project: Mulder 1400 Favorite

Mulder Shipyard was established seventy years ago this year and to mark this auspicious occasion the yard has decided to breath new life into the Favorite range. Originally introduced in the 1950s, an all new aluminium version will be launched in 2010 and be produced in a limited edition. The twenty first century Mulder Favorite will be available in three types 1400, 1500 and 1600, and built to stunning new designs developed in close cooperation with Guido de Groot and Vripack Naval Architects. Distinguishing features include smooth retro lines and a steep bow. The yachts will be available with either a round-bilged or a hard chine hull and fitted with two engines. There is a wide array of engines to choose from, ranging from twin 150hp to 435 hp. Its round-bilged shape makes the yacht ideal for comfortable cruising from 10 to 25 knots. The first Favourite to be deliver is the 1400 and is currently under construction. The 1400 Favorite will be equipped with a double Volvo IPS600 435hp and has a hard chine hull with spray rails, giving her a maximum speed of up to 35 knots. All yachts built at Mulder are developed in close cooperation with the client and this will also apply to the new Favorite range. The 1400 currently under construction, for example, will feature a stylish cherry interior with panel covered doors, a wengé floor and sofas upholstered with luxury leather.

Project: Galeon 385 Open

Galeon presents the project of the 385 Open, mirroring the hardtop version below the shear line, in the cabins and the practical department, but having its topsides which say head in the air driving experience. Like the 325 before it, with the 385 the famous Straszyn Polish builder and British designer Tony Castro redo what they did in 2008 and follow the demanded HT for Hardtop project with a sportier 385 Open version. The 385 Open gives a younger feel to the overall looks versus the HT version with Tony Castro following a family feeling in this new bigger model which mirrors the Galeon line but mostly the smaller 325 Open sister. The 385 indeed does look similar in the lines, the long sports side window, forward looking radar arch, the windshield which comes from the moulded structure, and an aft cockpit deck which uses half the length. For the remaining the 385 Open is exact as its hardtop sister for what is the accommodation with a well laid flush aft deck cockpit outside, and a two cabins, two shower heads interior. Propulsion will be a stern drive solution offering good speeds and best economy.

New Model: Cayman 60 HT

Following what was presented a year before with the 75 HT flagship, Cayman unveils the similar smaller sister with the new 60 HT model. Cayman did not want to complicate matters for the second model of the HT range, giving again design job to Carlo Trezzi. Previous to the 2008 presented 75 HT launched last year, all Caymans have been designed by Nuvolari Lenard. For the 60 HT Trezzi again gave Cayman a sporty elegant conservative look and just as the 75 HT abandons the bits of sportfish influence of the smaller models. The Cayman 60 HT is a fully enclosed all weather coupe sport yacht with patio door aft and rigid hard top. Below it offers three fully en suite cabins, with the owners stateroom being a full beam mid ship layout. A single crew cabin with two berths is located aft.

Project: Cabo 44 Hardtop Express

Scheduled to debut this fall, the 44 Hardtop Express project is a new design style for Cabo. The integrated hardtop signifies a next step in express design evolution for the Southern California Adelante boat builder, here utilizing a rigid three sided enclosure to offer better protection from the elements, improved visibility, and greater comfort on the helm deck. Below deck, the interior also marks a turn around offering a luxurious space equal to the Cabo 45 Express it will replace. The most dramatic difference in the layout is the addition of either an optional second stateroom, or an angler's room. This extra space allows for easy interior storage of fishing gear or the privacy of a second stateroom away from the master. Another intuitive touch is the placement of a full length galley counter against the aft bulkhead, making access to appliances easier while creating more floor space in the living dining area. The master stateroom and shared head are forward of the living area and offer the comfort and amenities that discriminating owners desire. Like every Cabo the design for this boat began in the cockpit to make sure that it meets the demands of serious anglers. Fish boxes, a tackle center, and bait well in the transom are all standard, and new mezzanine seating provides a comfortable perch when watching the spread. Like many of the latest Cabos to be introduced in the past few years, the 44's foundation is a Michael Peters designed hull. From there, the propulsion design, electrical systems, and attention to detail is executed in the same manner that built the Cabo reputation for a rugged and efficient build. Cabo and Michael Peters present an innovative design with luxurious appointments. The hard top design solution for the 44 Hardtop Express project gives also a great appeal to cruising enthusiasts that may have never considered a Cabo before, while continuing to meet the demands of its core market serious offshore anglers.

New Model: Aguti 20M

Aguti is a very Italian Latin sounding name, but this is a new German brand with capacity to build up to forty metres which sets sights on the high sphere of the market presenting its first 20M model. Designed by part yard owner Andreas Grieger, the Aguti 20M was built on Lake Constance in Germany taking fifty thousand hours to complete. For his first model which is a sixty five feet sport yacht Grieger went to traditional modern looks with a long teak covered flush fore deck saying classic big open yacht, a stern which reminds of speed boats of the early twentieth century, and a hard top integrating neatly with a traditional shaped curved wind screen. Apart from having a sliding movement the hard top of the 20M can also move vertical up down allowing fresh air to enter the cockpit and at the same time keeping shade. But the first Aguti model does not want to be special on looks alone and some functional equipment. The 20M wants to offer a unique product in the core, and this it does with the mahogany Kevlar construction, and a patented exhaust system which surpasses year 2014 regulations. The Aguti 20M also offers incredible all year round accommodation thanks to a patio door main deck, having a day galley, L-shaped settee, and central helm station. Down below we have a three double cabin lower deck plan, with owners suite to fore, C-shaped saloon, and a galley. Power for the 20M is twin MAN 1100hp which give a 32 knots top speed. Although more powerful engines and the tank tested hull shape do allow for speeds up to 50 knots.

Technical Data:
LOA - 20.1 m (65.9ft)
Waterline Length - 15.45 m
Beam - 5.50 m
Draft - 1.55 m
Displacement - 35 t
Fuel Capacity - 4000 l
Water Capacity - 1000 l

Project: Kadey-Krogen 52

Kadey-Krogen announces the addition of a completely new project to its fleet of pure full displacement trawler yachts with the 52. Building on the ten year success of the Kadey-Krogen 58, the 52 offers many of the same design elements like a raised pilothouse and spacious living areas. In keeping with the company’s adherence to architectural integrity, the 52 is constructed with entirely new tooling as opposed to the very common industry practice of simply stretching the hull of a smaller model. Like every Kadey-Krogen yacht for nearly twenty years, the 52 will be built at Asia Harbor Yacht Builders in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The fully covered aft deck gives away the live ability of the 52. A feature of every Kadey-Krogen, showing space in the saloon through welded aluminum weather tight doors. Moving forward and to starboard is the gourmet complete galley with a full-size refrigerator. Like her larger sister, the 52 will have a weather-tight Dutch door providing direct access to the galley from the starboard walkway. Port side of the galley are the steps up to the pilothouse with household-like standard risers and treads plus a rock-solid banister for a safe and sure grip at sea. The pilothouse on the 52 accommodates dual helm chairs, rare for this size, allowing both captain and mate great visibility. Owners have the choice of a two or three cabin arrangement, with the master stateroom forward or amidships. The two cabin arrangement enjoys the utility of a large dedicated office space. Two heads are standard with any configuration, and both heads boast an enclosed stall shower. The 52 will be offered in both single and twin engine configurations and will feature Kadey-Krogen’s exclusive counter-faired keel, a design the company pioneered on the 58. This innovative keel design imparts a counter rotation of water flowing into the propeller, canceling some of the propeller induced water rotation. The result is straighter water outflow and improved forward thrust which generates better fuel economy than that of conventional keel designs. Standard power will be provided by a single John Deere continuous duty 231hp engine, with a twin John Deere 121hp available as optional. With 5300 litres of fuel, range is expected to be in excess of 3,000 miles at 7 knots with a top speed of 9.5 knots. Interestingly the company took a customer friendly approach in announcing the Krogen 52 with the builder contacting current owners to see if they were interested in the project, and then showing the a set of plans at the Trawler Fest in Fort Lauderdale. This system seems to have worked well for Kadey-Krogen receiving reservation for the first five hulls. Tooling for the Krogen 52 is expected to complete in late fall of this year, with the first hull arriving in the United States in summer 2011.

Improve-it = Riviera 5800 Sport Yacht

Riviera’s popular 5800 Sport Yacht takes design to another level with the first of the series to be delivered with lower galley and alternate saloon option delivered to its Sydney, Australia owner last month. The lower galley option is ideal for those who enjoy formal entertaining, as the separate galley provides a discreet area for food preparation while the saloon features two huge lounges on either side of the boat, to the port the plush lounge wraps around the dinette table, while the starboard side includes a huge U-shaped lounge complete with pop up TV at the end, perfect for chilling out or conversing with guests and comfortably seating 12 adults. Since the 5800 Sport Yacht’s world release in May 2009, this latest Riviera model has achieved sales in Italy, Auckland, Perth, Sydney and the Gold Coast. Building on the success of the impressive standard model, the lower galley option is tipped to be popular with those who enjoy entertaining providing the family chef or crew a private gourmet galley complete with quality appliances including electric induction three-element cooktop, two drawer fridges and two drawer freezers, a convection microwave oven, dishwasher and solid-surface benchtop, a stainless steel underslung sink with mixer tap and generous storage. The saloon windscreen serves as a massive skylight above the lower galley providing an abundance of natural light while an opening port-hole at eye level gives the chef a good view and plenty of sea breezes. Riviera’s new product development concept design manager, Neil McCabe said customers were fascinated with the 5800 Sport Yacht’s power, precise handling, smooth ride, low engine noise and striking modern look. The Riviera 5800 employs Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, an integrated system of marine diesel engines and steerable drive units mounted under the hull with twin counter rotating, forward facing, propellers. This system offers easy handling and manoeuvring even in tight situations and a joystick for easy docking. Volvo Penta IPS also offers up to 30 percent better fuel consumption than traditional shaft drive systems. Three Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesels rated at 435hp each are standard. This latest galley down delivered 5800 Sport Yacht was also fitted with two aft IPS joysticks docking stations located to port and starboard side of the cockpit.

Projects: Gamefisherman 60 Flybridge, Gamefisherman 58 Express

After launching its 48 Flybridge in the fall of 2009 Gamefisherman present two important new projects which expand the size of the line of this Miami custom boat builder. Above is the rendering for the 60 Flybridge which if launched today will be Gamefisherman's biggest build to date and its current flagship. The 60 Flybridge will have an interior with a split level saloon which offers a relaxing C-shaped saloon, dining table, galley and bar area. Below are the sleeping quarters which on the standard plan offer three double en-suited cabins. The owners suite is located to port midships. Construction as for all the Gamefisherman will be cold molded with Epoxy resins. Power will be from twin 1200hp MAN engines.

The second Gamefisherman project is the 58 Express, which shares many features with the two feet larger Flybridge. In fact the beam and draft are identical, and the length as the model designation indicates is just two feet shorter. Apart the measurements the concept of the 58 Express is a different one, being an open Express yacht with large outdoor spaces. But as any respected Sportfish machine the 58 Express welcomes you aft into a large free aft cockpit with a central fighting chair dedicated to the angler. Moving to fore and two steps up from the battle zone you are taken into the comfort area in the upper deck, which features two opposing L-shaped settees, and a central helm station. The standard lower deck plan goes for an L-shaped saloon, galley, guest cabin with two bunk berths, guest shower head, and the owners en-suite stateroom to fore. Power has been so far not been announced but I would imagine a similar set up to that of the slightly larger 60 Flybridge sister.
