Project: Cheoy Lee CLB80

After launching the CLB65, the entry-level model in the B-Series, Cheoy Lee CL Yachts has made a strategic move to fill the void between CLB72 and the B-Series CLB88 flagship with the introduction of the CLB80 project. An enclosed bridge pocket super yacht of just over 24 meters in length, and just under eighty tons of displacement the CLB80 is designed by Jozeph Forakis, who was entrusted with the mission of preserving the brand's distinctive DNA while also infusing the overall concept with a more streamlined and sporty aesthetic. Throughout this creative process, particular emphasis has been placed on enhancing onboard comfort rather than focusing solely on raw performance. The exterior of CLB80 showcases a refreshing and contemporary aesthetic, blending modern elements with the hallmark features that define the brand’s, and the B-series, identity. One distinctive aspect that sets this model apart is the evolution of the unique stepped side windows. These carefully crafted windows not only infuse a modern touch but also enhance visibility, allowing natural light to flood into the living spaces. The CLB80 is to be offered with an aft or forward galley, and single or double fly and main deck helm station choices. These choices compliment a four double cabins lower deck, which features a separate entry VIP suite forward. Two crew cabins are located aft.  CL yachts has not announced any speeds and engine options for the CLB80 but expect speeds in the mid-twenties.

Fairline Squadron Burns Down in Swansea Marina

A thirteen meter Fairline flybridge cruiser went ablaze while berthed at Swansea Marina, to the Southwest of Wales at 17:52 hours of Sunday nineteen November.  Five fire fighting crews from Swansea Central, Swansea West, Morriston, Gorseinon and Llanelli responded to the fire, taking about an hour to control and two hours to extinguish.  No one was injured in the fire, with the causes of the blaze reported as accidental, with the flybridge cruiser ending half sank, and her flybridge deck burned out.  A fire involving two small boats happened in the same Marina on the end of May of this year.

The Fairline in this fire is a 43 Squadron as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 1994 to 1997.  The 43 was the Squadron range entry model, Fairline's flagship flybridge line which in that time arrived up to 65 foot.  The Squadron 43 came as a replacement to the Fairline 43 and was replaced by the Phantom 46.

Unattended Flybridge Boat Ends Aground Near Alghero

An unattended flybridge boat of ten meters in length ended aground in between the waters of Bosa and Alghero to the West of Sardinia on Sunday nineteen November.  The boat was first reported by the Guardia Costiera, during a random patrol on Sunday afternoon, who then called assistance to the Vigili dell Fuoco, who intervened with a helicopter, in order to drop two specialized divers in the area.  Upon arriving on the boat, and following an inspection onboard the two divers found it to be unattended.  The Guardia Costiera is now looking to trace the ownership of the flybridge boat.

This abandoned grounded boat is a Rodman 1040 as released in the mid noughties.  The Rodman 1040 Adv is part of the fisherman cruiser line of boats of the Spanish boat builder. The 1040 Adv came out as an evolution of the 1040 with a different stern layout, with the model replaced by the 1090 Evolution Flybridge.
