Project: Mulder 73 Flybridge

Mulder has received a new order to build a 73 Flybridge for a client from Australia, having previously delivered a yacht to a client in New Zealand two years ago. The all aluminium yacht is an entirely new design by Guido de Groot and Ginton Naval Architects, and will be delivered in the second quarter of 2012. The Mulder 73 Flybridge shown above in project rendering will have a length of 22.30 m overall and a beam of 6.20 m. It will be equipped with two Caterpillar C18 engines with 1150 hp each to achieve a maximum speed of around 22 knots. With a fuel tank capacity of 12,000 litres, the yacht will have a range of approximately 3,200 nm at a speed of nine knots. The interior of the Mulder 73 Flybridge will consist of an owner’s stateroom, a VIP suite and a guest cabin, each with their own bathroom. The yacht will also offer spacious quarters for two or three crew members aft. The saloon has a luxury L-shaped sofa and three armchairs. Situated opposite the dining area, the galley is equipped with all the latest equipment and has a door to the gangway. The entire interior will be finished in cherry. The 73 Flybridge is Mulder Shipyard’s second project for the Australasia region. In the spring of 2007 the yard delivered a Mulder 76 Flybridge to a client from New Zealand, which later took part in the Auckland International Boat show. In addition to these projects, Mulder has various other yachts under construction with delivery dates in the coming years. Despite the recession, the yard has a strong order book that includes eight yachts that have yet to be delivered.

New Model: Lazzara 76 Breeze

Named as the Lazzara 76 LMC project, the Fort Lauderdale show presented 76 Breeze is an interesting new model and continues the spirit of innovation route as started by this family run company in the last decade. The 76 Breeze is a motor yacht of the future, and while its main interest will surely be its propulsion of three engines with ZF pods, there is much more to it. Most interesting is that the 76 Breeze is surely one of the most spacious yachts in this size, not because of its four double cabins layout, very huge crew lobby, but also for other amenities as an utility room in between the rooms, and one of the largest flybridges in this size. In all this I have to say the 76 Breeze looks elegant, classic yet modern. Without going to far this is big challenge to European builders in this style of yacht with a US flare to the overall, and with ingenuity that rarely comes from the US in these sizes. Power which is the ticket of interest of this yacht is three Cummins 600hp with ZF pods propulsion which will offer a benefit of consumption numbers at the pump to move this fifty ton motor yacht.

Projects: Riviera 61 Enclosed Bridge Series II, Riviera 61 Open Flybridge Series II

Riviera presents the project for the 61 Series II in Enclosed Flybridge version as above or Open Flybridge as pictured below. When the 61 was launched in 2007, this model featured a Frank Mulder modified Vee hull shape and was regarded as the best handling in the Riviera fleet. Now the down under renowned builder enhances this model all over with new features as seen in latest Riviera models. A recognizable exterior feature of the 61 Series II will surely be the large hull window servicing the owners mid ship located stateroom. Below a three or four double cabin choice with both options having the living with saloon and galley on the main deck. In the four cabin choice, the extra bunk guest cabin takes space away from the fore VIP suite. Three heads serve the cabins two of which en suite for the owners and VIP rooms in both choices. The upper Enclosed Bridge which features an internal staircase will have C-shaped settee, dual seat helm station, wet bar, docking station outside, and a view mezzanine settee on the aft. The 61 Series II is also enhanced in the aft deck and will features a dual mezzanine settee as seen on the Riviera 70 flagship. Changes also include the main living deck now having an aft galley and forward L-shaped saloon. The galley thanks to the Riviera hinged window feature can join with the cockpit creating a nice inside outside fully communicating deck.

The project of the 61 Open Flybridge Series II is a novelty here, as Riviera never offered an open version for the 61 first series. So far no details are given for the Open Flybridge accept that the above picture shows an aft helm of sport fisherman style and a fixed solid hard top. Standard power for the Riviera 61 Series II is twin Cats 1015hp with speeds estimates being of 28 knots with this choice. Other larger engine choices should be available allowing for speeds up to 34 knots. The 61 Series will use traditional shaft propulsion, and also construction is to stay on the tyred and tested hand laminated style. The hull of the 61 Series II also receives a modification with Riviera's in house naval architect Alan Dawd widening the planning strakes to reduce spray and improve trim and performance. Riviera has already four 61's on construction and the model will be showed first time at Sanctuary Cove boat show.
