Project: Cayman F520

Cayman yachts continues its philosophy of bringing a new model each year, and for 2019 it will present the new F520 at the upcoming September 2019 Cannes boat show.  Designed by Ferragni who is the design firm responsible for the incredible work they did on Cayman's new 2018 model F920 flagship.  For the second Cayman model the Cremona Lombardy design firm went for more conservative looks outside, looking at certain angles to be a motor yacht from a decade ago.  The upright flybridge design and low radar arch also reminds me to a certain extent of the Cayman 50 Fly launched in 2007.  But the new Cayman F520 is not all nostalgia and here we have some modern touches from the IPS pod propulsion, to the forward bench settee on the fore deck, and large hull side windows.

Two Persons Saved from Sinking Yacht Near Palmarola

Two French nationals were saved when a sixteen meter sport yacht started sinking near the islet of Palmarola and offshore to Gaeta, on the early morning 01:30 time of Saturday sixth July.  The two French nationals aged 47 and 53 years respectively had left Fiumicino in direction to the island of Ischia, when about half way into the one hundred nautical miles trip saw water starting coming into the engine room of the yacht.  Seeing this the two boaters first tried to stop the water ingress and then when finding out that this was not possible released the EPIRB and abandoned the sinking yacht.  The EPIRB message arrived to the Guardia Costiera of Gaeta who immediately dispatched one of its vessels for search and rescue, finding the two boaters about twelve nautical miles offshore to Gaeta onboard a life-raft.  Later the Guardia Costiera also located the semi-sank sport yacht, and then took the two French boaters to Gaeta harbor where they also received a medical check up.

The sport yacht in this sinking is Cantieri Navali dell Mediterraneo Continental 50 Tender, a model which debuted in 2009, based on the standard Continental 50 but featuring a full fore to aft walk around deck, and large forward dinette, with this traded for less spacious lower deck accommodation.  The Continental 50 Tender evolved and was replaced by the 54 model in 2019.  CNM was founded 2003 debuting in 2006 with the Continental 80 model.

Two Injured in Johns Pass Marina Florida Formula Boat Fire

Two men were injured as a ten meter Formula sport cruiser exploded first and then went ablaze in Johns Pass Marina, Treasure Island, Florida on the early afternoon of Friday fifth July.  The 34-foot Formula cruiser went ablaze after fuelling up, with the marina manager reporting it went ablaze as the sport cruisers started its engine, with the stern bursting into flames.  Following the blaze the two men jumped in the water, as marina staff pushed the boat away from the dock as its mooring lines burned away with the fire.  Treasure Island Fire Rescue responded to the fire as the two men suffered first and second-degree burns, but did not go to the hospital.  The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Formula sport cruiser in this fire is a second generation 34 PC model as produced from 2004 to 2015.  The second generation Formula 34 PC came as a replacement to the first generation series which was produced from 1991 to 2002.

New Launch: Wim Van der Valk 32.00m Hull no. WV0120

Wim Van Der Valk is delighted to announce the successful launch of the 32-metre Raised Pilothouse named m/y Jangada 2. Built for a repeat client of a Wim Van der Valk and a Raised Pilothouse the 24 model, this super yacht is the fifth and at 32 meter the largest to date in the Dutch builder custom aluminium build Raised Pilothouse line.  WV0120 is now being put though her final paces, after which she will head to the Mediterranean for the 2019 summer of cruising along the French Riviera.  The owners of 32M Raised Pilothouse made the most of all their experiences on their first 24.99M Raised Pilothouse to have their new yacht even more customized to their requirements. Working in close partnership with Nick Top and Guido de Groot, they designed some very specific details, ensuring that the VIP suite bathroom on the main deck closes off for use by guests during the day, adding to the crew accommodations and creating an even more spacious galley by optimizing the functional area under the pilothouse.  This kind of smart thinking typifies the genuinely bespoke nature of a yacht that reinforces why our Raised Pilothouse line has been such a hit. And there are many more ways in which Jangada 2 makes a clear statement of her own. She has a minimalist interior style that is based primarily on whitewashed European oak. The flybridge deck has an outdoor dining area, a sunbathing space with plenty of loose sunbeds, an all-aluminium hardtop providing ample shade and a smart wet bar.  The main deck aft is spacious with curved glass sliding doors to the lounge, while a VIP suite forward offers fine views. The full-beam owner’s stateroom is on the lower deck and includes large his and her wardrobes and a dedicated office area. There are three other cabins sleeping seven adults and children, bringing the possible guest total to eleven.

Project: Nordhavn N41

Nordhavn is pleased to announce its newest passage making cruiser, the N41, destined to become it's  next legendary vessel.  With over seven million nautical miles of documented ocean crossings, Nordhavn has set important long cruising records. Last year Nordhavn retired the venerable 40, it's smallest passage-maker explorer cruiser and a record-setter in her own right. It left a void in the Nordhavn product line that begged for a compact displacement expedition cruiser.  Cue the sleek, modern, seaworthy Nordhavn 41, which challenges the notion of the traditional couple’s cruising vessel. Her profile is deliberately low providing a stable and comfortable ride, and her hull design, having undergone an advanced and rigorous analysis, is CE Certified Category A Ocean for offshore conditions. This means the average cruising duo can take on any itinerary with confidence whether crossing to the South Pacific or exploring around the Pacific Northwest.  Comfort and maneuverability is the name of the game on-board. The Nordhavn 41 is available with a single luxurious owners cabin or with two cabins, second guest cabin located to starboard with two L-shaped berths.  The Nordhavn N41 will be powered by twin Kibota 75hp with line shaft propulsion, while a huge 3400 liters fuel capacity will be make her able to do most ocean crossing.  Debut is scheduled for January 2020 during Dusseldorf boat show.
