Project: Sanlorenzo SD90

Sanlorenzo present the project of the SD90, a new entry level model in its traditional ship looking semi displacement range which was announced during the Venice boat show in May 2022. Sanlorenzo SD range launched in 2007 with the SD92, and since then it has never looked back, a success from the start with the first model selling 24 units.  Designed by Zuccon, with Phillipe Briand doing hull engineering, the SD90 will offer an accommodation layout sleeping eight in four cabins, with an owners stateroom located on the main deck.  The Sanlorenzo SD90 will offer a full beam wide body forward area for an owners stateroom on the main deck, which integrates well into the design of the yacht.  There is a certain equilibrium with the SD90 all looking very traditional and yet when one puts all together it all comes down to a modern yacht.  There is also a huge research in recyclable materials used in hull number one, which along with a hybrid electric propulsion by Siemens, this optional version marked /s makes it as one of the most ecological yachts in its size.  The Sanlorenzo SD90 is standard powered by twin Man 800hp or optional Cats 1150hp engines with speeds expected to reach seventeen knots.  The SD90/s Siemens hybrid version will cruise at six knots in electric only mode, and ten knots in hybrid.

Galeon present its largest build to date with the launch of its new 800 Fly model.  Designed by Tony Castro both outside and inside and measuring 25 meters over all, the new Galeon 800 Fly flagship replaces and surpasses the 780 Crystal launched in 2011 as the largest build to date by the Polish builder.  Once looking at the details one would also notice that the 800 Fly is an evolution of the previous 780 flagship.  Going against Galeon recent trends the 800 Fly sees the Polish builder and Castro taking a conservative approach, opening side bulkheads as the smaller models are not featured in the 800, and no central passageway from the interior to the fore deck of the main deck as in the 640 model.  As layouts go the 800 Fly offers a traditional four double cabins layout with a master stateroom at midships.  Two crew cabins with a small lobby and entrance from the bathing platform is located aft.  The Galeon 800 Fly is standard powered by twin Man 1650hp engines and or optional 1920hp MTU and anything in between.  The Galeon 800 Fly is selling already well with five units reported under construction and next delivery date for 2024, against only two 780 Crystal reported build in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

Project: Franchini 70 Noah

Franchini continued its course in 2019 with the Mia 63 an eighteen meter sport yacht platform offered in the T-Top and Sport-Fly versions coupled to aggressive lines, clean surfaces and high performance typical of  Mediterranean yachts.  Now Franchini presents the Noah 70 project, an evolution in some aspects of the Mia but a flybridge motor yacht aimed at those who look far away and want to experience the sea without limits: a yacht for long journeys! The definitions for this kind of yachts are endless today: Long Range; Blue Water; Shuttle; Explorer. Franchini does not like labels and is offering the Noah with the tradition of sea qualities, and evolution in comfort of recent years. With this approach Franchini in its seventy years of history made up of work, passion and research, have designed and built over four hundred boats, all still sailing. The same principles gave life to the Noah 70, for which, at the basis of the creative process, is the idea of ​​navigation that favors the breadth of the horizon over the narrowness of time, the pleasure of travel over the urgency of the goal. It starts from a 20-meter hull, 22 in over-all length, capable of accommodating up to five double cabins with relative bathrooms and an infinite number of stowage and service spaces. This customization comes from simple and yet effective engineering, based on a structural cage where the transverse bulkheads make a fundamental contribution to the overall rigidity and, consequently, contribute to the solidity of the hull and it's own weight reduction. This fact, combined with the perfect weight distribution on board, significantly improves stability, safety and navigation comfort. Naturally the Noah 70 is equipped with engines suitable for the intended range of use which ranges from Volvo IPS pod drives propulsion, or to the more traditional line shaft with the essential aim of favoring reliability and autonomy over extreme performance.
