Project: Spencer Yachts 74 100 Centurion

A household name in custom sportfish boat building, Spencer is nearing close in delivering its hull number one hundred, which is to be a 74 feet.  Building one hundred boats is always a landmark, a lot more so for a custom yacht builder as Spencer, with each build being to order from a client.  With the 74 feet Centurion, Spencer went to social media and a sponsored build by its main suppliers.  Indeed this build has received sponsorship from Westernbranch MTU dealer, Alexseal, Gplink, Seakeeper, Aqualama, Veem, Wildcat, Onan, and Technicold.  Splashing of Centurion should be soon, with the build starting in late 2015 and expected to splash end Summer 2016.

Technically speaking the 90 Gladiator is a make up improvement of the model it replaces with a new hard top and window profile, and a fore-deck with the must have dinette and sun-pad.   Canados 90 Gladiator will also be available with three engine propulsion choices; twin Man 1900hp with shafts, Mans 2600hp with Arneson surface drives, and triple Man 1900hp with Top System surface drives.  Speeds go to the max of 33 knots of the first option to over 55 knots of the last option.  In the triple engine option the 90 Gladiator will receive a structural upgrade with hull build in Kevlar Aramat fibers, Carbon reinforcements, and interior furniture in honeycomb.

When the market is giving you a lot of feedback it is normal that you attack more and try to increase your share. This is what Prestige has been doing in recent years and the 630 comes as an expected surprise new model for the 2017 season replacing the 60/620 after six years production. Designed as all the range by Garroni, the Prestige 630 mimics the exterior style of the larger 750 and 680 sisters in a smaller size.  Inside the 630 also continues with recent practical elements as a spacious astern galley, large galley wet-bar on the flybridge, and a separate entrance for the owners midships stateroom. Other interesting elements of the Prestige 630 will also be the large well laid out flybridge and a big yacht feel all around especially when compared with the replacing 620.  The Prestige 630 will be powered by twin Volvo 725hp with IPS pod drives which give it a 28 knots max speed and 24 cruise, possibly these medium average speeds being its Achilles heel versus it major competition.

Project: Fairline 62 Targa GTO

The Targa 62 GTO is the first of the new generation of models from Fairline featuring the design of Italian Alberto Mancini, with naval architecture by renowned Dutch firm Vripack.  The Sport Yacht is currently in the final modelling stages with production set to begin coming autumn 2016 and customer deliveries expected in the summer of 2017. Mancini’s influence is clearly evident in the Targa 62 GTO, resulting in a sleeker look for Fairline and an evolution of the recent British builder styling.  The Targa 62 GTO is designed to suit Fairline’s varied global client base, offering complete flexibility of layout with a multitude of options to suit each individual customer. For example, there are three different galley arrangements, allowing clients to choose the best configuration to suit their needs. A choice of long cockpit or saloon variants, the former offering large outdoor space, the latter for those where air conditioned interior space is more important. Maximizing space and comfort are the key features of the Targa 62 GTO with every centimeter optimized. Regardless of specification, owners will find a large saloon and cockpit as well as an impressive full-beam master cabin with adjoining full-beam en-suite. The boat features a large sliding, glazed sunroof and powered patio doors that disappear through the cockpit floor transforming the main deck and adding to the overall sense of space and light.  As well as ensuring the sea-keeping and handling qualities that Fairline is known for, Vripack focused heavily on minimizing noise and vibration levels throughout the boat. This, in conjunction with Fairline’s proven monocoque construction, maximizes on board comfort for all.  More details for the Fairline 62 Targa GTO, as engine choices, and exact layout details will be given during the fall 2016 boat shows.

Project: Cruisers 60 Fly

Cruisers present the project for a new 60 Fly, a model based on the 60 Cantius platform with the added flybridge deck.

The flybridge will feature a layout of U-shaped settee aft, central wet-bar and helm station, and three forward chaise lounges. Interior options and engines in the 60 Fly should mirror those of the 60 Cantius, with two or three cabins choices below deck, and Volvo 725hp engines with IPS pod propulsion giving speeds up to 35 knots.
