Project: Outer Reef 720 Trident

Having launched its first Trident model with the 620 in 2016, Outer Reef is working to expand the range which is receiving a lot of interest from its customer base. The Outer Reef 720 Trident project is a proof of this direction and follows the 620 as the second model in the range.  Just as the smaller 620 the 720 will feature a semi displacement hull which will be powered by standard twin Cat 641hp engines with line shaft propulsion.  Standard interior layout will offer a four double cabin arrangement, with a living kitchen dining area on the main deck.  A crew cabin with lobby, utility room, and work bench is located to midships in between the engine room and owners midships stateroom.   Outer Reef is offering two layouts for the 720 Trident which modify the main deck layout with choice for an astern galley or a central one, and change a bit the flybridge due to the different location of the internal stair case in the saloon moved from port to starboard.

New Model: Sealine F530

It's been a steady expanding range from Sealine since Hanse Group took over the name in 2013 and moved production to Germany and started to build it again from scratch. Launched in 2016 as the new flagship, the F530 represents the pinnacle of the updated Sealine range, with the German owners taking a fresh design departure with British designer Bill Dixon.  The Sealine F530 is worthy of the name having the usual formula of more space to length associated with the name.  None the less entrusting a name like Bill Dixon should also offer interesting sea capabilities to the F530.  The Sealine F530 also comes out as a competitive package on pricing thanks to engine choices which start from standard twin Volvo 435hp and go up to optional 550 and or 600hp units.

Project: Couach 26m Timeless Collection

Having invested millions of euros in its technical facilities and workshops in Arcachon, on the French Atlantic coast since 2015, Couach is poised to enter a new era in custom yacht construction. Couach has also made a number of strategic recruitment choices for both management and design departments, bringing new blood and inspiration to continue the legacy of the maritime company, which will be celebrating its 120th anniversary in 2017.  These changes are showing a fresh  direction at Couach with five ranges and a new series of models currently in the pipeline.  In this new range series is the Timeless collection designed by Espen Øino which will feature six fast flybridge yachts between twenty and forty meters, each representing the Couach expertise. The size range of the Timeless collection allows yacht owners to embrace the sweet spot between the luxury of a superyacht, through design features and on-board crew, while maintaining a closeness to the water that can be lost on larger vessels. The design of a 26m model in the Timeless range has been completed, while a further five models are expected to follow in the coming months.

New Model: Viking 92 Convertible

Here I can write the usual post on how the Viking 92 Convertible is different to the other ten hulls currently sold of the 92 Enclosed Bridge.  But why? One can look at the picture above and see that important aesthetic all alone reason.  The Viking 92 Convertible is an incredible looking machine, this does not mean the Enclosed Bridge is not, but the open bridge really shows how a super sport-fisherman is meant to look.  It is a fact with the units so far sold, that practical reasons win and that is why 90% of the hulls delivered have been Enclosed Bridge versions with the benefits of comfort this gives. But looking at the 92 Convertible from the outside, some of the Enclosed Bridge owners might have a small regret.

Project: Baglietto 41m V-Line

Following the great success of its latest 46m Fast and 54m yachts and the signature of a sales agreement for the first MV19, Baglietto continues to strengthen its brand on different markets by also developing new products, result of the interpretation and specific requirements and wishes of owners. Here enters the Santa Maria Mandolfi designed 41m V-Line project with sober and essential lines characterizing this elegant, sophisticated super yacht, whose sheer line, running uninterruptedly from bow to stern, results in even more streamlined volumes and harmonious profiles. The exteriors can boast huge common areas, totaling more than 300 sqm divided over the yacht’s three decks. The sundeck is approximately 60 sqm wide. On the upper deck, moving forward from the helm station, a large C-shaped sofa overlooks the spacious sunbathing area with a pool, creating a wonderful day area that allows to enjoy life in the open air and take in spectacular views. The interiors are wide, open, with large, often full-height, glazed surfaces. In particular, the main deck salon has been designed by conceiving the dining area as the ‘center of gravity’ between the interiors and the outdoor areas, and allowing to use it both as a traditional indoor dining room and, once the glazing dividing the salon from the cockpit is entirely opened, as a deck that opens onto the outside. In this way, the living room has been moved forward, exploiting the available width to the fullest. Hull engineering on all projects has been carried out by Baglietto Engineering Department. The 41m V-Line yacht is under 500 tons and will be equipped with two Cat engines that will push her to a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruise of 11 knots.
