A guest stateroom is to port and a second full head is to starboard. The saloon and galley space are open arrangements with large windows surrounding so that those on board can comfortably entertain and enjoy the surroundings. A raised pilothouse also includes a settee to port for guests and the helm station is centered in front of large forward windows.  Twin Cummins 405hp engines will power the 58 Ocean Express, which unlike the other standard Selene features a semi displacement hull to a top speed of 21 knots.

Project: Itama 62

Itama presents the project for the 62, a model which will replace and is a further evolution of both the FiftyFive and Sixty.  Designed by Marco Casali the 62 rendering shows a following to the changes found in the new 45.  That is a  light slanting stern aft, and new big view windows on the hull side, serving the cabins, lower saloon, and galley.  The interior should remain the same or similar, although Itama is stating a light modification to the three cabins, and to the shower heads, this increasing more space.  The exterior of the 62 keeps its function as a luxury saloon in the open air dedicated to the maximum living and full contact with the sea.  Power to this twenty degrees deep Vee hull sport yacht will be for twin MAN 1100hp standard, or optional 1360 engines.  Speeds are for a max of 40 knots with the optional large choice.

New Model: Cruisers 41 Cantius

After launching the anticipated 48 Cantius at the end of 2010, US builder Cruisers a year later presents its  talked about but never shown smaller 41 Cantius.  If this is anything to show, I think we will soon be seeing a family of Cantius enclosed hard top sport cruisers and yachts from the US builder.  The 41 Cantius is well laid out sport cruiser with good looking lines, which can be used all year round thanks to a fully enclosed main deck living area, with hard top, and aft patio door.  Interesting characteristics are the settee in the aft deck, and the stools which can be positioned on the aft bathing platform which thanks to the design of the stern becomes a relaxing bar area.  Inside on the main deck is space for a saloon with C-shaped settee, a wet bar with entertainment cabinets opposite, and helm station.  Below are two cabins with an owners room to fore, aft cabin with two single beds and en-suite shower head, very large bathroom to port side, and a galley.  Power is from 330 up to 370hp in diesel format, which should give top speeds of about 32 knots.

Project: Koot 54

Koot Yachts from Tunisia presents its first model the 54, which was officially presented at the recent Cannes Boat Show 2011. Loft on the Sea is the design philosophy that inspired the yard to create this 16 metres open characterized by wide open spaces outside and inside, providing a continuous contact with the sea.  The Koot 54 is built in Tunisia by a working team headed by Italian architect Francesco Maria Giulini. The exterior design is by Koot Design Team, with interiors designed by the architect Giulini and the hull designed by renowned naval architect Sergio Cutolo. Over sixteen meters long this is a sport yacht that offers unique seamlessly environments: no internal cabins but one large lounge area directly connected to the cockpit, creating a unique space between the interior of the boat, outdoor areas and the sea. Large spaces also characterize the outdoor area: the stern is completely open to the sea and only three steps separate the cockpit from the spacious bathing platform as well as an area at the bow completely covered with teak becomes a very large and comfortable sundeck .  The Koot 54 has a planning hull with V-variable angle and is fitted with two MAN R6 800hp diesel engines which deliver a max of 36 knots and a cruise of 32.

New Model: Kadey-Krogen 52

Hull number one of the new Kadey-Krogen 52 departed Asia Harbor Yacht Builders in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on August 22 and is set to make its international debut in the Seattle Boats Afloat Show on Lake Union in September. The premiere comes just 18 months after the announcement of the new model.  Testimony to the Kadey-Krogen tagline; At Home on Any Sea," this first 52 has been purchased by a couple who are former professional mariners and graduates of two of the US most demanding merchant marine universities. The couple previously owned a Kadey-Krogen 48 North Sea, and upgraded to the 52 when the design plans of the new model were announced last winter.  Building on the ten year success of the Kadey-Krogen 58, the 52 is poised to become the trawler yacht of choice because of her efficiency, comfort underway and her at home liveability. At home features include the fully covered aft deck, spacious saloon, galley fit for gourmet cooking complete with full-size Jenn-Air refrigerator and a four burner Viking range with oven. A weather-tight Dutch door provides direct access to the galley from the starboard side deck. Owners can choose from a three stateroom layout or two staterooms and a dedicated office.  Like all Kadey-Krogens, the 52 is built using vinylester and isophthalic resins, knytex mats, and US-made Cook UV-protected gelcoat to protect the vessel's gelcoat. Critical areas of the hull are reinforced with a special impact-resistant fiberglass mat containing Twaron, the same fiber used to give body armor its "bullet-proof" capability.  Performance is for a 9 knots max with a single 231hp John Deere engine.  But impressive is the long range of over 4000 nautical miles possible at 6 knots.

Project: Casa 38

After always going bigger size in recent years family run builder Casa presents the project for a 38 entry level model.  As the above rendering shows this new model is a fully open style sport cruiser and does not go for a hard top as the bigger Casa model's.  Coming from Rome this is no surprise where fully open boats even without radar arch are always very much appreciated in these dimensions, but also in bigger sizes.  The Casa in fact goes in direct competition with builders like Tornado, Marine Yachting, and Italcraft Sarima all coming from the where abouts of the Italian capital city, and all actualy having a fame of being sea worthy craft. Interesting for me are also the exterior hull lines of the Casa project which reminds me a bit of the nineties produced Italcraft F38.  The Casa 38 looks sleek but this on plan sets also to be a very comfortable sport cruiser.  The cockpit offers an aft sun pad layout with a C-shaped settee, helm station, and wet bar cabinet behind it.  Inside is a two cabin plan, L-shaped settee, galley, and two heads.  One of these being en-suite for the owners room located to fore.  Power is from twin Volvo 330hp stern drives which should give a top speed of 40 knots.

Project: Raffaelli 55 Storm IPS

Italian builder Raffaelli who just received new investment presents its latest challenge and new direction to the market with a project for a 55 Storm IPS.  This model is a fully enclosed sport yacht, sun roof hard top and aft patio door, and as the title says is to be powered by the Volvo forward looking dual propeller pods.  The design is trusted to Italian naval architect and designer Milavonovic, who presents lines which pay homage to this builder forty years plus story in boat building.  So far Raffaelli has not advised if the 55 Storm is to replace the 2003 presented 57 Kubang.  As the enclosed configuration usually shows, the 55 Storm offers a living on the main deck, with intelligent modern solutions making part of the concept as astern galley by the patio door which also serves the aft cockpit, and a wet bar to port side.  A C-shaped dinette is to be found to fore of the interior saloon to port side, with a very forward located helm station to starboard.  Down below we have an area dedicated only to the cabins, here offering three spacious rooms, with each having its own en-suite bathroom.  The layout while making the best of IPS pods, impresses not only for having a cabin with no bunks but also for the space dedicated in each room, and for the spacious owners stateroom located to midships.  Standard power for the 55 Storm IPS is from twin Volvo 435hp with the builder promising a top speed of 31 knots at a full load of 18 tons.
