Sea Ray Yacht Washes in Pompano Beach

A fifteen meter unattended Sea Ray yacht washed ashore some meters away from Northeast 16 Street, near the Hillsboro Inlet lighthouse in Pompano Beach, on Thursday ten November 2022.  The Sea Ray yacht was reported to have broken its mooring from its marina in Hillsboro Beach Inlet following Hurricane Nicole and then ended beached in the area.  The Sea Ray has created a problem for removal to Pompano City officials as its owner is arrested in a state prison.

Eventually Pompano Beach placed a notice on 20 November, giving 21 days notice to remove the yacht, with the family of the owner entering in helping the situation, and the yacht removed and demolished from the beach on the fourteen December.

The Sea Ray yacht in this sinking is a 500 Sedan Bridge as produced from 1989 to 1994.  The 500 Sedan Bridge eventually evolved into the longer aft cockpit deck 550 Sedan Bridge in 1992 and then produced till 1998.

New Model: Viking 54 Open

The largest express-style yacht Viking has ever built, the 54 Open series consists of three models; the 54 Open, 54 Sport Coupe and 54 Sport Tower. The Open Series made its world premiere at last year’s 2021 Fort Lauderdale boat show with the Sport Coupe version featuring a custom radar mast atop a three-sided fiberglass deckhouse. A few months later, Viking showcased the 54 Sport Tower for the first time with the gorgeous FarNiente at the Miami boat show.  At the Fort Lauderdale 2022 in end October Viking completed the circle presenting the 54 Open which featured a custom Palm Beach tuna tower, and unlike the Sport Tower and Sport Coupe, this model has a three-sided wraparound windshield with space between it at the hardtop, allowing a more open-air environment on the command deck. The 54 O can also be delivered without a tuna tower as a sleek express yacht.  The 54 Open’s fiberglass windshield frame is designed and fabricated in-house at Viking adhering to strict tolerances, what is a single-piece fiberglass part perfect windshield.  Above is a shot of the show-bound first 54 Open in its final stages of construction, with a tower designed and fabricated at PBT in Riviera Beach, Florida. Atlantic Marine Electronics, another Viking subsidiary, has pre-installed the wiring for the tower electronics. The first Viking 54 Open also received a teak cockpit sole.  Back in New Jersey, the next 54 Open which will also be fitted with a PBT tower, is in the mechanical department ready for its powerplant of twin Man 1550hp and gyroscopic stabilizer Seakeeper 16 installations.

Project: Cranchi SessantaSette Corsa

Cranchi and its lead designer Christian Grande are working on the project for the SessantaSette Corsa.  A hard-top sport yacht version of the SessantaSette, so far Cranchi is being tight on information for the Corsa project.  Translated to Race, Corsa is set to be a more sporty version with more streamlined upper structure and a mini flybridge up top with low profile furniture versus that of the 67.  For the interior I would not be surprised for it to have the exact same layout, which is offered in three or four cabins in the SessantaSette.  One information Cranchi reported is that the SessantaSette Corsa is to be powered by Volvo 1000hp with IPS propulsion as the standard 67, with this reaching speeds up to 29 knots and a cruise of 24.

A nine meter flybridge cruiser ended up beached in Livorno on the morning of Sunday sixth November.  The flybridge cruiser reportedly lost power to both its engines with the wind pushing it on the beach.  The coast guard gave immediate assistance to the passengers onboard the flybridge cruiser taking them to safety.  Later in the day a rib tried to tow away the flybridge cruiser with no success. 

This beached flybridge cruiser is a Piantoni Ondazzurra 9.50 mt as designed in house by the Bergamo builder and produced from 1985 to 1990.  Piantoni sold over one hundred units of the Ondazzurra and Onda Blu, which today is still a wanted used boat, due to the generous accommodation, sea worthy hull, and strong construction.

Project: Jarrett Bay 90 Sportfisherman Hull #68

Jarrett Bay Boatworks is excited to announce the commission of hull #68 by repeat owners for an impressive upgrade to a high-tech 27 meter super sportfish yacht with a full tower and open bridge.  Hull #68 will share Jarrett Bay's flagship spot with the 90 hull #62 launched in 2017, although technically looking at details this hull #68 is a bit larger and wider.  This custom ninety feet Jarrett Bay will be added to the builder’s long list of extraordinary projects with cutting-edge infusion and advanced lamination techniques, both to the superstructure and the decks, to save weight. The cold-molded hull will be traditionally crafted to ensure Jarrett Bay’s signature legendary ride, while a massive cockpit and bridge will provide the space needed to fish and relax comfortably. The range is expanded with her ability to carry more than 15,000 litres of fuel, allowing for extended travel.  There are few compliments greater than a returning customer, and Jarrett Bay boasts many owner families who have entrusted their craftspeople to build their dream sportfishing boat or yacht more than once. Final details are currently under review, including power options and the interior arrangement. Construction is set to begin in the early part of 2023.
