Classic Cranchi Boat Saved from Sinking in Marina Dorica

 

A classic Cranchi sport cruiser of nine meters in length was saved from sinking in Marina Dorica, Ancona on Tuesday nineteen September. The classic Cranchi boat was reported started sinking in the late morning, with the port authority coming first to the scene, and then calling the help of the divers section of Teramo.  The sport cruiser was just kept afloat with large floating balloons, after which she was emptied from the water by a pump.  After this the classic Cranchi was declared safe and floating, with the the boat taken to safety at about 17:00 hours.  No one was involved in the sinking, with the boat reported sinking for a failed seacock.

The Cranchi in this sinking is the 31 Endurance, as designed by Andreani and produced from 1983 to 1991, here in the version two with radar arch as introduced in 1988.  The 31 introduced the Endurance name for Cranchi, for what would from the mid nineties become the performance range.

New Model: Manda Yachts Senses07

Manda Yachts from Naples, Italy is a new brand which debuted in 2023 with its first model the Senses07, during the 2023 Venice boat show.  The Senses07 is designed by Giovanni Ceccarelli and is to be followed in the future by a smaller Senses05 of about fifteen meters in length and larger 09 models.  With the Senses range Ceccarelli follows similar ideas to the innovative Evo V8 which debuted in 2021 for a single level explorer yacht, which might look to an untrained eye as a sailing yacht without a mast.  This is an interesting design, especially for those who like a deck full of entertainment spaces.  In the Manda Senses the T-top area is fully enclosable with windows.  The Senses07 is offered in three lower deck options, with three or four double cabins.  The standard layout has a master stateroom forward, with an astern open plan galley-dining-lounge area overlooking the large bathing-beach area.  This part of the lower deck can be ordered as a master stateroom, in the other four or three cabins version, with the galley moving in between the cabins.  The Senses07 hull #01 is powered by the standard Volvo 725hp with IPS pod drives with speeds up to 24 knots, and a range of five hundred nautical miles at sixteen knots.

Project: Baglietto DOM 115

Baglietto proudly announces the sale for the first DOM 115: the 35m new model with steel hull penned by Stefano Vafiadis for the exterior was presented just a few months ago during the 2023 Fort Lauderdale boat show. The delivery for the first DOM 115 is for 2025. The 115 is the entry and second model in the DOM line, which debuted with the successful 133 model, with the first unit launched this year and has so far sold in nine units and orders going into 2026. The Dom line success is attributed to the timeless and yet modern captivating lines with a sporty adventurous character, impressive volumes for size, and panoramic windows which let in plenty of natural light and open up onto beautiful terraces. Other features of the Baglietto DOM series are the doors of the main deck saloon which can be opened completely and concealed to seamlessly connect the interiors and exteriors, huge floor-to ceiling windows with 270-degree view on the upper deck which is entirely glazed on three sides, aft area developing over three levels that gradually descend towards the pool overlooking the sea, and full customisation with steel and aluminium construction ensuring flexibility in terms of layout solutions, adding value on a yacht of this size. Another feature which DOM is appreciated is the tender stored in a side garage freeing pace on the aft beach area deck. The Dom 115 will offer a five double cabins accommodation for ten to twelve guest beds, and seven crew berths in four cabins. The Dom 115 is powered by twin 1182hp for speeds up to fourteen knots, with hybrid propulsion also available.

New Model: Arksen 85

 

Arken are delighted to announce the official launch of Project Pelagos, the first of its 85ft explorer super yachts. Launching from the Isle of Wight in May, the first Arksen 85 is privately owned and has hit the water for the first time ahead of her sea trials and ultimate handover to the client. The highly awaited Arksen 85 is a remarkably efficient long-range explorer, capable of taking on global adventures thanks to an important range of 6000 nautical miles at seven knots, or equally at home weekend cruising with family and friends. This pocket super yacht of 27 meters in size is first of two Arksen 85 in build, the second unit being called Project Ocean. Project Pelagos has been designed specifically with family life in mind, with an efficient hull design, and three-decks customised to the owners requirements. While the owner is keen to explore further afield with friends, the primary usage is for the family in the Mediterranean. The interior takes a more relaxed seating format on the main deck, providing a large, open-plan family space and preferring the al-fresco dining the warmer climates offer. Replacing the standard snug for a Captain’s cabin allows the vessel to retain the three guest cabins and owners’ suite.

Project: Sanlorenzo SP92

It was a matter of time for Sanlorenzo to follow its ground breaking SP110 with a new sister, and here comes the five meters smaller SP92 project set to debut in 2024.  The Sanlorenzo SP92 follows the SP110 and the clever innovative vertical use of space in a super sport yacht which offers an un-edited way of using the two decks.  Another innovation in the SP series is also the use of free spaces in the exterior, not the first here, as Wally was a pioneer in this for its sailing yachts and later in its Power series.  Less is more is the evolving design theme in this second decade of the second millennium!  Sanlorenzo is giving no information for the SP92, but she will probably be available in a three or four double guest cabins layout plus two crew cabins as most sport yachts in this size usually are.  We do have some news on the engines though as the Sanlorenzo SP92 is to be powered by twin Man 2000hp with jet drive propulsion for speeds up to forty knots and a cruise of 35, and a range up to 900 nautical miles in a slow mode cruise.

Pershing Yacht Burns Down in Dominican Republic

An unattended nineteen meter Pershing sport yacht went ablaze near La Romana in Dominican Republic on the afternoon of Sunday tenth September.  The yacht was unattended at the time of the fire, with the marina staff towing her out to avoiding damage to nearby yachts.  Videos on social media show the Pershing yacht as it is smoking from the engine room while in its berth, and then fully engulfed in flames outside the harbour.  The Pershing yacht became a total loss, and then sank.  La Romana is in the South of the Dominican Republic, and is 5/8 of the Hispaniola island, with the other 3/8s being Haiti to the West. 

The Pershing in this fire was a 64 model, as designed Fulvio de Simoni and produced from 2008 till 2016.  The 64 was a replacement to the Pershing 62, and was replaced by the second generation 62.
