Project: Clipper Heritage 46

Clipper present the project for a new Heritage 46.  This project is a replacement to the traditional and popular Heritage 40 reinvented and re-imagined for today’s boating needs but still retains those classic Clipper styling cues.  The new Clipper 46 is designed as a semi-displacement hull capable of speeds of twenty knots and planing at fourteen  comfortably. She can be built as a single or twin engine selection and has the keel as the lowest part of the boat of course.  The Clipper Heritage 46 upgrades to a two cabin and two bathroom layout and has a really large saloon area on one level with the cockpit, while boasting a much larger cockpit than the 40 it replaces. Plenty of customizing is available for this layout from the traditional to more contemporary.  Hull one currently under construction will have a port side galley with forward facing cruising seat on the port side and a double helm chair layout on the starboard side with a pilothouse door amidships to the walk around decks. She will have a fiberglass hard top on the very large flybridge along with seating for ten and a flybridge helm. This first 46 will come in a gloss mahogany finish for a very high end and luxurious feel and will be powered by a single Volvo 600 HP diesel engine.

New Model: Riva 90 Argo

Riva super yacht series continues to grow and here we have the new 90 Argo, a model which today is the flybridge super yacht entry to the famed Sarnico boat builder world.  Designed as all Riva by Officina Italiana the new 90 Argo has a distinctively silhouette similar to that of the 100 Corsaro and the upcoming 110 Dolcevita models.  This is a family of three models which from 28 up to 33 meters take you to the World of raised pilot house and semi wide body design.  The 90 Argo also enters Riva in that new segment of the market where at ninety feet plus the hull length allows for it to be piloted by a standard yacht master licence.  Still unlike other competitors the Riva 90 Argo is not about offering five cabins, and indeed while still featuring a main deck stateroom down below it still features a luxurious three double guest cabin layout.  Like previous Riva before it the 90 Argo is about being that special to its owner and guests in luxury not about putting the higher number of cabins in its hull.  The Riva 90 Argo is standard powered by twin MTU 1948hp up to twin 2435hp engines.

Mondomarine is back!  Acquired by the always growing Palumbo Group who also owns ISA Yachts, and created his Columbus brand back in around 2010.  As was the case with ISA Yachts, Palumbo is not someone who wastes time and with Mondomarine a project was immediately born, and here we have the Discovery 57m.  A 57 meter triple deck super yacht designed by Luca Dini, the Discovery will be a series of four models which spans from forty to 75 meters in length.  The Discovery 57m will feature some key features, from two flush deck pools, one at the main deck and another on the fly deck, to the choice of a master cabin taking the whole fore-deck for it or for this to divide space with another VIP suite.

Project: Lazzara LSX 65 IPS

Lazzara, a well established US boat builder and family is back with a project for a new LSX 65 sport yacht.  Few details are yet available but the LSX 65 is a sport yacht measuring around twenty meters will feature a very interesting lower beach club area to aft.  The lines of this new Lazzara are certainly different to the LSX which started to launch in the first decade of the new millennium, but some details as the hull windows at midships are representative of the brand.  The first LSX 65 IPS is currently under construction and will be powered by twin Volvo 1000hp and IPS pod drives.  An outboard version with four engines is also to be made available.  Lazzara was the hype in around 2005 and 2010, mostly for its large sport yachts powered by quadruple IPS propelled engines, and also for the very European futuristic look of its designs.  The new Lazzara is office based in the USA, Florida with the construction phase of the new yachts taking place in Turkey.
