New Model: Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy

Sanlorenzo launch the much waited 44 Alloy in a perfect combination of craftsmanship, innovation, experience and passion.  The Italian motor and super yacht builder continues its unstoppable progress by demonstrating once again that nautical design is a creative, exciting and versatile world in continuous evolution, capable of generating unexpected proposals with the aim of offering the highest quality of life on board.  This is the idea behind the new Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy superyacht, a 44 meter long fast displacement model, entirely in aluminium, which thanks to its unprecedented layout and maximum indoor-outdoor takes the concept of livability to new heights. The owner’s cabin, the conceptual fulcrum of the project, is conceived as a private apartment of 145 square meters divided into three levels, with indoor and outdoor zones, in a solution never seen before on a super yacht of this size.  The 44 Alloy conserves the elegant, balanced style and fluid that have always set the brand apart, while offering surprising spaces for the owner as well as guests, such as the large beach club that opens on three sides, providing direct connection to the sea, while the fore-deck, with its open area, offers multiple possibilities of use.  The new 44 Alloy is a true conceptual update of the prize-winning 40 Alloy, the forty meter long aluminium super yacht famous in 2007 for introducing fold-out terraces in the owner’s zone, its gull-wing doors on the bridge, its remarkable performance and commercial success, with ten yachts build by the Liguria yacht builder.  A completely new concept and project developed by the Sanlorenzo team, relying on the creativity of the studio Zuccon International Project, with the personal contribution of Bernardo Zuccon, for the design of the external lines and the definition of the concept in a layout never seen before, which has no equals on the market for yachts of this size.  The interior design of the 44 Alloy has been formulated in the first unit under construction by Zuccon International Project, with the refined taste and delicate choices of Martina Zuccon. The second yacht has interiors by the Florence-based architect Michele Bonan, while the third unit will bear the signature of the French architecture firm Liaigre, reflecting the flexibility, eclecticism and internationalism of the Sanlorenzo shipyard.

Project: Frauscher 1212 Ghost

Frauscher present the 1212 Ghost project, which will shed its shroud at the 2020 Cannes boat show, with an evolution of the Austrian builder design language that is both bold and beautiful. Along with other Frauscher models the 1212 Ghost features distinctive elements like the huge teak deck, frame-less and tinted windscreen as well a straight bow design. The side air intakes, first featured on the 747 Mirage and then on the 1414 Demon are further developed and give the side profile a very distinctive look. The back features a swooping design framing the generous teak bathing platform in spectacular fashion.  No interior and performance details are yet given about the 1212 Ghost by Frauscher, but accept a two berth cabin with facilities below, and performance inline of forty knots plus the Austrian boat builder usually delivers.

New Model: Galeon 400 Fly

Galeon has in early 2020 launched its new 400 Fly model.  Another model of what the Polish builder calls its fourth-generation family, the 400 Fly is one of the smallest flybridge cruisers to offer the innovative beach mode.

Two separate bathrooms offer extra comfort to the guests. All the cabins allow the guests full standing height and additional storage space, ideal for longer cruises.  The 400 Fly dynamic shape is a clear extension of Galeon’s characteristic design, with large windows merging with the hull form under acute angles. The upper deck is accessible by a comfortable staircase. The flybridge, the yacht’s entertainment center, puts a minibar and a helm at the disposal of the guests and crew. It also comes with a table and sofa that can be easily converted into a sunbathing area. The aft cockpit provides functional and well-planned space, with the sofa and table convertible into a sundeck.

Wellcraft Grounded in Malta

A Wellcraft sport cruiser of about eight meters in length finished aground on Saturday 5 July afternoon, after breaking free from its swing mooring in Qawra, on the island of Malta.  This resulted in the cruiser being carried by the strong winds and currents of about thirty knots, for about a nautical mile from its swing mooring berth in Qawra, and finishing aground in the Salina area.  The Wellcraft Excel sport cruiser stood in the scene for a few days, as its position made salvage operation rather difficult to make.

The Wellcraft in this accident is an Excel 26SE as produced from 1996 to the end of the nineties.

Project: Delta 21m

Newport-based MCM has been appointed as owner’s representative for a 21-metre express cruiser to be built by custom shipyard Delta Marine in Seattle. The Express Cruiser designed by Doug Zurn of Zurn Yacht Design for an experienced client will be powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with IPS pod drives with Dynamic Positioning System for a top speed up to 38 knots.  When going through the yard selection process, MCM looked at shipyards in the US, Europe and Australasia, but finally settled on Delta Marine as one of very few custom Superyacht yards left in the US. An added advantage was that Jack Jones, the company founder, had started out in the sixties as a composite builder of high-speed pleasure craft.  Yacht designer Doug Zurn in Massachusetts is well known for his classic New England style and the 21 meter traditional inspired down East express displays traditional exterior lines and an interior decor based on a contemporary take of raised and fielded mahogany wood joinery with white wainscoting details.  The classic styling, however, disguises a thoroughly modern and lightweight hull construction using infused epoxy, E-glass and Corecell/Airex for a displacement at half load of just over thirty tonnes. Comfort at anchor and under way are provided by Seakeeper gyro stabilisers and Humphree interceptors with active stabilization.  The owner will use his new yacht for cruising and fishing with family and friends, and to this end the aft deck has a modular design to fulfill both functions. Below deck there is accommodation for six guests in an ensuite owner’s cabin and two cabins with shared head.  The hull and deck tooling is currently underway at the shipyard and completion is envisaged for the second half of 2021.

New Model: Baglietto 40m RPH semi-displacement

Hull # 10232, a 40m RPH semi-displacement fully customized vessel built completely in aluminum for an American customer, was launched today in La Spezia at the Baglietto shipyard. This is the first launch at the Baglietto shipyard, after the Covid-19 lock-down, which represents Baglietto’s commitment to the yachting industry and an optimistic view of the future.  Baglietto developed a new platform to accommodate the owner’s vision and the design of Horacio Bozzo’s exterior with both a sporty, yet elegant character. The interiors have been designed by renowned designer Achille Salvagni, recognized for his award-winning super yachts and his unerring eye for detail.  This new construction project represents a further step for Baglietto in the growth path of fully custom-built yachts. This hull is a completely new naval platform designed with distinct modern features. The straight bow represents an absolute novelty for Baglietto. The boat’s technological solutions are worthy of attention, such as acoustic comfort and performance. It is, in fact, a semi-displacement aluminum yacht capable of reaching a considerable maximum speed of approx. 18 knots thanks to twin Cat 1622hp engines with very high acoustic parameters, settling around 40Dba.  Construction #10232 is part of Baglietto’s fully customized production line. Italian design and craftsmanship, recognizable all over the world, maximum attention to the customer and manufacturing quality, combined with cutting-edge technology and performance, from a construction site with a totally redefined and future-oriented structure, capable of guaranteeing an average annual production of three to four new yachts per year.  Currently, a new shed for boats up to 65m has been completed in the modern La Spezia shipyard. To date, there are 4 yachts under construction: in addition to hull # 10232, a 54m also with the signature of Horacio Bozzo’s designing the exterior and Hot Lab penning interior, being delivered in 2020 as well. The construction of the third 48m T -Line, sistership of Andiamo and Silver Fox, is underway for a South American owner and the production of an order signed last February for a 38m with delivery in 2022 has begun.
