Project: Canados 919 Gladiator RD

Open is back?  Or so many would say since the news of this new Canados 919 Gladiator RD project and order follows the launch of the new Otam 85 GTS.  Let's say the interest is growing, in a size upward of 25 meters, something which they always have suffered with the exception of the Mangusta 80 which sold in loads onward of 1994 till about 2007 when then Overmarine modified it to the hardtop style of the other models.  Canados has in recent years build a name in the super sport yacht today called the Gladiator range, thanks to a fast and very performing 90 Open it launched around ten years ago.  Before that Cantieri Navali di Ostia was been famous mostly for its conservative looking flybridge motor and super yachts upward of fifteen meters.  The 919 Gladiator RD is the continuation of the 90 Open and brings a lot of innovative thinking in its deck design used from fore to aft as never seen in this size, bringing to a certain extent ideas and philosophies more akin to the large centre console currently invading the North American market.  Moving around the Canados 919 Gladiator RD will be safe thanks to the full walk around bulwarks, and the centre console influence brings  fresh design thinking in this size.  The interior of the 919 Gladiator will be offered in a fully custom choice of three or four cabins layout, with a separate galley and two crew cabins for three or four persons.  Performance wise Canados is keen to point out that the 919 Gladiator RD will be the fastest super sport yacht in its size reaching top speeds up to 52 knots, and cruise comfortably at 44 knots with the large powerful option of triple Man 2000hp engines and surface drive propulsion combination.  Still for those wanting to go slower the Canados 919 Galdiator RD is offered in twin engine installations with surface drives or more conservative and slower line shaft propulsion.

Improve-it = Maritimo M51

During the 2019 Sactuary Cove boat show Maritimo unveiled major design updates to its M51 Flybridge Motoryacht model.  The most noticeable update came from the hull topsides now added with all new panoramic hull side window profiles amid some other purposeful styling elements which enhance both interior and exterior form. In addition to the new exterior features integrated into the Maritimo M51 this was also added with design enhancements of interior spaces, updated material palettes, cabinetry design and lighting packages.  Of this also worth to note is a new sport dashboard design veiling the extent of the helm.  The Maritimo M51 is a three cabin enclosed bridge motor yacht which echoes sport fish looks but is full of motor yacht features.  The Maritimo M51 is standard powered by twin Volvo 670hp engines with line shaft propulsion.

Project: Solaris Power Lobster 48 Hard-Top

After launching the Power 55 in the first part of the year Norberto Ferretti promised that a full line of Solaris Power tradition inspired cruisers will be complete in a two year time frame.  The Solaris Power Lobster 48 Hard-Top will be the next way point in this promise, set to debut in the Dusseldorf boat show 2020.  The Solaris Power Lobster 48 Hard-Top is again a design to Brunello Acampora which at this point we have to believe will design all the range, and its pretty atypical of Norberto who does like to stream line a model brand series range to one designer, to give it character and recognition.  The Neapolitan designer follows the Lobster 55 in the 48 and presents a modern take on the traditional down East element design in a two meter small size.  The Lobster 48 Hard-Top will be offered with two layout choice for a two cabins plus crew, or a single cabin with a lower L-shaped lounger and an extra storage compartment to port side.  The Solaris Power Lobster 48 Hard-Top will be standard powered by twin Volvo 435hp engines which will give a top speed of thirty knots, and optional 480hp which give a rather enthusiastic estimates of 35 knots maximum for only 90 extra horses and the same Volvo 5.5 liter six cylinder block.  A Solaris Power 48 Flybridge is also in the works.

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.

Canados on the Rocks in Ponza

A nineteen meter Canados motor yacht ended on the rock in Ponza, in Le Cantine, area of Forma on the North West part of the popular boating island on the morning of five July.  The nineteen meter motor yacht had a wrong manoeuvre being paid dearly, with damage to keel being visible.  Fortunately the guests on board suffered no injuries beside a shock.  The DMD squad of the island did a temporary repair to the motor yacht, to allow towing to a repair yard on the same island.
This Canados is a 58 model, as designed by Spadolini and build to order from 1987 till 91.  The 58 was Canados first fiberglass build motor yacht, with the model evolving into the 60 in 1992 and then as the 18 model with a sloop style stern in 1995.
