Project: Bavaria SR33

After the SR41 and SR36, Bavaria present the project for a new SR33 the newest member to come of the SR-Line, and set to launch and be presented in early 2023 at the Dusseldorf boat show.  Designed as the other two SR by Marco Casali with hull design coming from Micad, the SR33 replaces the Bavaria S33 model.  But do not be mistaken the SR33 is totally new sport cruiser upwards from the keel, wider and also longer to the model it replaces.  One of the hallmarks of the SR33 is the cockpit deck, with the unique and favourite aft sun-pad feature, which apart extending in length converts to an aft looking dinette.  Down below the Bavaria SR33 will offer an open layout with a double berth forward, a dinette with opposite galley, and a double berth separate cabin at midship.  The Bavaria SR33 is to be powered by twin Mercruiser or Volvo engine from 500 up to 700hp with sterndrive propulsion, with a single diesel 380hp option also being available.

Sportfish Explodes After Refuelling in Bermuda

A flybridge cruiser of about nine meters in length titled m/y Woodstock with one passenger onboard, exploded and then went ablaze just after refuelling at Dowling Marina, St. Georges, Bermuda around 1330 hours of Sunday nine October.  Videos on social media show the scene of the Woodstock exploding split second just after the captain turns on the engine. With the fuel station of Dowling Marina located near The Wharf Restaurant and Bar in a packed Sunday afternoon the drama was not ended, and an evacuation of sorts could not be made, as the wind kept on pushing the on fire Woodstock to the dock.  At this stage a sportfish of eleven meters titled m/y Tenacious with two brothers onboard towed Woodstock out of the dock, to Marginal Wharf, before the flybridge cruiser burned down and eventually sank at around 1440 hours.  Ten fire fighters and officers assisted and went to extinguish Woodstock from the flames, while the lone captain owner had minor injuries to his ankle as he jumped off the boat from the flybridge.

Woodstock the sportfish cruiser in this fire is a Trojan F-32, a model the famed US builder produced from 1973 up to 1992 in 2700 units. Still popular the Trojan F-32 sleeps four in a forward double Vee-berth with a convertible saloon, and is powered by twin Chryslers 225hp or optional 260hp gas engines on shafts.

The heroic sportfish m/y Tenacious which saved further damage to happen at Dowling Marina is a Luhrs 40 Convertible, produced from 2000 up to 2003.  The Luhrs 40 Convertible is an evolution and replacement to the 380, main recognizable difference being the side windows being more curved.  The 40 Convertible was replaced by the Luhrs 41 Convertible.

New Model: Horizon E90

Horizon Yachts has launched and delivered the brand new E90, second in size in its successful E Series line which spans from 23 to thirty meters in size. The new E90 is an evolution of the popular E88 model which launched in 2008 and sold in fifteen units and was a further evolution of the Horizon Elegance 87. The new E90 combines a performance-oriented hull with a streamlined superstructure and new underwater shape, with increased interior volume evident from the dock, a feature made possible by the yacht’s enhanced hull design that affords a six meter plus of beam. Borrowing an extremely successful feature from the Horizon Fast Displacement FD Series, this E90 is the first E Series yacht to be designed with the proprietary High Performance Piercing Bow, a design proven to afford excellent seakeeping and stability.  Titled m/y Lazy Daze the first E90 was launched in the Skylounge version and was built on spec for the American market, with a traditional four double guests cabins layout, and an aft crew cabin which sleeps four instead of the standard three berths.  Horizon E90 hull one is finished in white ash and silver oak wood combined with Able stonework for light and airy filled interior. Horizon E90 is standard powered by twin 1600hp Cats, with hull one ordered with the upgraded twin Man 1800hp.

Yacht Falls During Lift Out Operation in Leros Marina Greece

A 23 meter explorer yacht build of steel titled m/y Nephele, fell during lift out operations at Leros Marina, on the Aegean island of Lakki, Greece, on the morning of third October.  According to reports from witnesses the steel cable broke during lift out operation, resulting in the yacht partly falling into the water from a height of about two meters. Luckily for the yacht it was also the forward part which fell, as if this was the stern the damage might have been much worse, with this fall out only doing some minor cosmetic scratches when the cable fell on the fore-deck.  Following the accident the yacht was also checked and sea trial tested with no damage reported.

The explorer yacht in this drop is a Russian build Laky Verf 23M as designed by Guido de Groot, with naval architecture by Martin de Jager and produced since 2005, so far in six units.  Laky Verf debuted in 2005 with the 23M model, and apart yachts also builds pilot boats.
