New Model: Bruno Abbate Primatist B41 Aerotop Pininfarina

After showing a spy shoot of the first prototype in its initial sea trials at the end of last year, Bruno Abbate Primatist ship yard finishes it's first new B41 Aerotop Pininfarina.  Based on the hull lines of the best seller that was the G41, this new B41 completes Bruno Abbate's circle which now features all its five cruisers and yachts models designed by the famous Pininfarina firm.  This choice has been one of success from Bruno Abbate, especially seeing the feedback and orders the company received for the G46.  The B41 builds on some features seen on the G41, although a lot of improvements are seen.  For example the galley is among the most spacious in this size, especially when one notes that the G41 Primstist Aerotop Pininfarina has a spacious full beam midships located cabin.  Same goes for the lower deck located L-shaped saloon which is opposite to the galley, which although not super in size seems to offer good comfort.  To fore is also a VIP suite or owners room, if one prefers this cabin then to the midships with its three berths layout.  Power is Volvo engines from 330 up to 400hp with stern drive propulsion.  Hull one featured the new super powerful 400hp engines giving a top speed of 37 knots.

Project: Carnevali 38

Carnevali from Ravenna, Italy has always been a builder with high attention to the impulse of the market, and this new 38 flybridge motor cruiser is a project showing this.  Low fuel consumption, size at around ten meters, and spaces of a much bigger boat.  Designed in house, for its size the Carnevali 38 surprises for its rather big flybridge.  Two cabins sleeping four, one shower head, and an extra convertible dinette on the main deck will be the interior accommodation plan.  Power is from Volvo stern drives with 220hp engines, with Carnevali estimating an optimistic 31 knots top speed with these units.

New Model: Maritimo M58 Motoryacht

Maritimo shows up its second in large size Motoryacht model which follows by fifteen feet the M73 flagship.  This new Maritimo presents itself with the usual traits from this down under builder with sport fish looks combined into motor yacht practicality.  This proven with the comfortable and easy to access walk around side decks, and internal stair case to the raised pilot house.  Other very nice touches in this new Maritimo are the aft galley, and the relaxing view area behind the helm in the raised bridge.  Three double guest cabins serve the owner and his friends.  Impressive in size is the owners suite to midships; which features among other things a beauty desk, and an office. Fair to say the third bunk cabin is stealed from some more space by the owners suite.  Power is from twin Volvo 800hp engines with line shafts.  An impressive for an eighteen meter motor yacht 5000 liters fuel capacity supplies the Maritimo M58 Motoryacht.

Project: Dale 41 Classic

Dale presents the project of the 41 Classic.  Based on the famous semi planning hull, which features a lot of pilot boat, which are married with lines also coming a bit from a down East lobster looks.  Dales says that the 41 will feature a Nelson hull.  So far the British builder is passing very little details, but I do accept to see some features of the 2004 launched 45, which was a turn around model from this builder and has received much praise from the public and dedicated press.

New Model: Grandezza 33 OC

Following the presentation of its new 39 CA flagship Finnish builder Grandezza continues with another very interesting medium sized sport cruiser, the 33 OC.  Good looking outside, and with some interesting features, I do think that better European exposure was missed with this new Grandezza 33 OC, and this is for two reasons.  The CE C certification, and the railing which goes the Scandinavian route to come out from the side deck and not being put on the toe rail. May be not so much a problem for the first, a little bit more in the second case I think. An interesting layout with two double cabins, and a shower head below, with a well sized galley located under the hard top differentiates this model from most of the competition.  Curiously while the Grandezza is build in Scandinavia I think this works particularly well in the med, and thanks to the extended hard top also up North.  Power options are a four Volvo engine choices from single Volvo 330 or 370hp, to twin 200 or 220hp with stern drive propulsion.

Project: Atlantis 34

Atlantis continues its range renovation with the project of a new 34 set to be launched coming October. As is all the new range since the launch of the 48 in 2010, the latest Atlantis model is again a work of the Team from Neo Design of Biaggi and Salvetti.  This new entry level Atlantis follows a lot of the features seen in last year introduced 38. For example the 75% hard top covered aft deck resembles a lot of the features seen in this much praised latest 38 model; from the C-shaped settee and chaise lounge to port side, to an L-shaped wet bar and helm to starboard.  Down below things change more as the Atlantis 34 follows the layout of a Vee shaped settee which converts to a double to fore, shower head to starboard, galley to port and a twin cabin to midships, this sleeping a total of four.
