Code named as project P-107, Cranchi presents its third member of the Yacht Class line with the Fify 6 Soft Top. A sport yacht of eighteen metres in length the Fifty 6 Soft Top follows recent Italian trends of offering a hard top Sport Yacht with a very open feel to it. The soft top relaized in special material in fact opens to all of the roof surface of the cockpit, and makes the 56 become a real open experience. For accommodation its lower deck layout offers a three cabins with two heads plan. The owners stateroom is full beam, with the queen sized double berth looking to the sides, a VIP room to fore, and a twin L-shaped bunk third guest cabin. A galley and L-shaped settee complete the lower deck plan. The Fifty 6 Soft Top will also be the second Cranchi hull which follows the 2006 launched 43 model to use the Volvo IPS drives in this case in the larger 800 and 900 versions with 600 and 700hp respectively. Estimated top speeds which are usually very true from Cranchi are a 31 to 33 max with the big Volvo IPS900 700hp option. The standard IPS 800 engine reduces top speed by a knot.

Project: Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity

Cheoy Lee presents the project for a full displacement super yacht set to launch in about a years time, the 83 Serenity. This new member of the Cheoy Lee Serenity range is a seaworthy and economical yacht which takes some roots from trawler explorer style small ships. Designed by Michael Burvenich, the 83 Serenity is available in two different forms, a more traditional canoe stern design, or a European model, this last including a Euro-transom with twin stairs from the aft deck to the swim platform. The Euro transom can also be configured with an optional passarelle. The hull is designed with flatter sections aft that enables the hull to run faster than a traditional displacement shape of the same water line length, yet still calculated to be approximately 30% more efficient at cruising speed than a similar sized semi-displacements at equivalent speeds. The interior layout will be a split level saloon offering a relaxing lounge upon entrance with a C-shaped sofa to starboard, a bar with three stools, and dining table. Further forward and up a step is the working area of the main deck where will be a separate galley, day head, and the helm station room which also features an L-shaped settee to starboard. Below accommodation is a three double stateroom in the forward section, with the owners room to mid ship. Aft are two double crew cabins both with en-suite head. Power for the Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity will be from twin 660hp Cats with an optional of an independent hybrid system by Siemens which is powered by the generators. www.cheoylee.com

New Model: Atlantis 48

The Atlantis range renewal which comes with the partnership of the young studio of NeoDesign was finally presented officially in Cannes, with the first 48 model. Atlantis announced this collaboration with this new young studio a year ago, and the 48 does represent what eight years before the successful 42 did back in Cannes 2002, which was the first Atlantis model to a Righini design with at the time Gobbi project departments, and Azimut Bennetti Group teaming up. The new 48 replaces the eight years produced 47 which has been a good success for Atlantis in many markets. Taking some cues from the two most recent Atlantis models that are the 54 and 40, the 48 represents the next step of the We Are Open philosophy. That is a Sport Cruiser which yes has a hard top but feels open as possible. That means free airy spaces and a sleek low upper structure. Notes which stand out are the three sunbathing areas, the very open hard top, and wide open spaces. The cockpit of the 48 is spacious, full of open spaces and a layout similar to that of the 54; central sunpad, L-shaped settee, galley, sun-lounge, and helm station. Below you get a two cabins plan with a full beam owners master room with a central double queens berth and en-suite head. Completing the lower deck is a VIP suite located to fore, C-shaped saloon which converts to an extra double berth, and a galley. For tender stowage you have a high low bathing platform aft. Power is from twin Cummins 600hp with line shaft propulsion, good enough for max speed of 35 knots and a cruise of 33.
Technical Data:
LOA - 15.94 m (52.3ft)

Project: Pershing 50.1

Pershing presents the project of the 50.1 which is a reinterpretation of the top selling 50 model launched in 2003. This new sport yacht is again a work of architect Fulvio De Simoni, Pershing designer since ever, in collaboration with Ferretti Group AYT Advanced Yacht Technology, and the Centro Stile team. The new Pershing 50.1 is an expression of the Next Generation which, even with her sporty features, has a three double cabin interior which lives up to the expectations of those who know the style and the elegance of this famous brand. The new 50.1 will have the challenge to continue on the success of the 50 which has been the best selling model of the Pershing fleet for years. The new 50.1 combines great character with a high performance and excellent on-board living conditions. The below deck area is very comfortable and is exemplified by the specific attention to detail and choice of materials, such as the primary use of oak and the carpet for the flooring of the cabin and the dinette. In particular, the area occupied by the dinette features new varnished finishes which give the interiors a contemporary mark, like Matt finishes chosen to replace the previous glossy tones. With innovative aerodynamics and elegant lines the 50.1 is also the current smallest model of the Pershing fleet, as the 46 has been stopped in production for 2011. The 50.1 is available with Arneson surface transmissions which combined with twin MAN's 900hp engines, can reach a top speed of 46 knots, or 37 knots in the standard line shaft version.

Project: Prestige 500 S

Prestige wants to make the last part of 2010 a very busy year for them presenting a total of three new projects. The new Prestige 500 S will replace the 50 S2 and as all the range is a Garroni design, with Premorel for the concept. For the 500 S Garroni follows similar ingenuity details as seen on relative Jeanneau family sport cruiser the new NC11, but here having bigger possibilities due to the extra four metres in size. The interior is full of superb concepts starting with the astern galley by the patio door, to the full beam owners master stateroom. Most impressive is surely that this is a three cabins sport yacht with full beam owners suite layout none of which is a bunk berth. Below offers space for three cabins, and apart the mentioned owners room located to mid ship, we have a VIP to fore peak, and a third two single berths guest room. Other creative ideas are the telescopic aft deck sun shield, and another open canopy for the fore deck sun pads, both of these usually found on boats of bigger sizes. Power options has so far not been announced but the image does show a pair of Volvo second generation series drives which should offer a power of 600 or 700hp to this thirteen tons sport yacht.
