Improve-it = Fairline 65 Squadron

Fairline presented a new cabin layout option for the award-winning 65 Squadron motor yacht at the PSP Southampton Boat Show 2011. The existing 65 Squadron with three cabins plus crew will now be available in an optional four cabin layout with aft crew cabin, giving the choice of accommodation for up to eight guests  plus two crew members.  The latest cabin layout arrangement enables customers to select a fourth cabin, located port side and featuring opening portholes, full-length bunk berths complete with bedding and a hanging wardrobe. Alternatively, in its three-cabin layout arrangement, the space is fitted out as a day head and utility room. In the master stateroom, the double bed has been newly positioned fore/aft, further maximising the available space. New panoramic hull windows allow light to fill the lower accommodation living areas. Light-filled accommodation has become a hallmark of the range and, in line with the latest Fairline models, the optional aft crew cabin features full transom glazing.  An exceptional feeling of spaciousness continues to be provided by the single-level saloon, galley and dinette arrangement, providing sophisticated living areas to relax and entertain. The large cockpit area on this latest model will now include a fixed-height table as standard.  The Fairline 65 Squadron was launched in 2009 and has received much media praise and accolade, including a 'Motor Boat of the Year' Award 2010 in the Flybridges over 55ft category, as judged by a panel of boat testers from UK marine titles Motor Boats Monthly and Motor Boat and Yachting.

Project: Grand Banks 76 Aleutian RP

Grand Banks presents the project of its new flagship the 76 Aleutian RP.  This new model increases Grand Banks size by four feet and is set to be the largest and most luxurious yacht in the company's growing lineup. The 76RP features a proven Tom Fexas hull design and timeless exterior styling shared by other yachts in the raised-pilothouse contemporary looking Aleutian Series. But this newest model also introduces a brand new interior design that is more contemporary and European in flavor than any of its predecessors.  The graceful flow and simple, clean proportions of this design is well matched to the understated nautical style that has defined the Aleutian Series. It extends throughout a new interior layout that includes four generous staterooms and a much larger salon made possible by the longer, expansive deck house of the 76RP.  For exploration, entertainment and enjoyment, the new 76 Aleutian RP is a compelling new choice in many respects. The large flybridge, generous foredeck, and spacious aft deck and dining area all serve to expand envelope for outdoor living. Notably, the vessel's range lets owners stretch their voyage to 1000 nm, or they can speed to the next port at over 30 knots with the largest of the engine options which start from twin 836hp up to 1723 by Cat or MTU.

Project: Atlantis 38

Atlantis continues its We are Open direction, with the presentation of the 38 project.  This model is set to be presented in a week's time in Genoa and follows the design direction as started by NeoDesign from designers Salvetti and Biaggi in September 2010 with the 48, followed with the 44 a month later, and continued with the just presented in Cannes new flagship 58.  The 38 is set to replace both the 35 Plus, and 40 models.  As is with the new Atlantis since 2007, the 38 also follows a very open pattern of the main deck, set for those clients who like to live the sea mostly in an airy fresh environment.  So while the 38 features a hard top, which makes easier use in Winter weather, the main deck is all about being open, free, and usable as much possible.  The layout here offers a C-shaped settee, chaise lounge pad to port side, with helm and wet bar to starboard.  Down below we have a two cabins layout, an L-shaped saloon which can convert to an extra twin berth, galley, and head with a door separate shower stall.  Impressive is the layout of the guest cabin located to midships which offers a very spacious double berth, and a nice relaxing sofa opposite.  Power is from twin Volvo stern drive with standard being 260hp or optional 300.

Improve-it = Hunt 52 Express

Hunt 52 Express Cruiser hull number 6, arrived to be the first IPS propulsion with Joystick Control. Not only does her performance exceed all expectation in ride, speed and fuel efficiency, but the layout is just perfect for those families who frequently cruise as two persons, yet occasionally might need to accommodate more couples or children and friends.  That is because the Hunt 52 Express with Volvo forward looking dual propellers pods drives can easily be designed with a three staterooms layout. The spacious salon can be arranged as a living room suite with two barrel chairs, settee and convertible dinette table.  The performance numbers are impressive and the IPS version also features smaller fuel capacity of 2270 liters, that is 290 liters less to the standard Cats 710hp shaft engined model, and 570 liters minus of the Cats 1001hp choice.  Yet with this less capacity it still delivers a range of 300 nautical miles at cruise speed.  Same as the Cats 710hp yet with less fuel. Top speed with the 690hp IPS900 is a 30 knots max, and a 25 of cruise.
