Project: Mano 32 Gran Sport

Mano presents the project of the 32 Gran Sport. This latest Mano medium sized project reflects recent trends as shown by other Italian builders to present a Sport Cruiser design joined with that of a centre console open boat. So far the South Italian Mano has forwarded little details of this project, but with this rendering we can imagine that the 32 Gran Sport will be a full walk around for half of its length and having a full sun worshipper raised deck to fore. The port windows also suggest the use of over half of the length for accommodation below deck, which also is a big indication to tell us that the engines are located to aft with a high possibility of having stern drive engines, as is the normality in this size for European boat builders.

Project: C.Boat 23-82

After launching its first 27-82 Classic model C.Boat moves ahead by presenting new projects which aim to enrich is range of modern looking steel build motor and super yachts. The second project from C.Boat is the 23-82, which is four meters smaller to the 27 metres launched Super Yacht in 2009, and is also the entry level project of the range. C.Boat 23-82 is a 24 metre over all motor yacht designed by Mauro Corvesieri, and Salvo Parigi responsible for the interior. The concept for the 23-82 follows that of the larger C.Boat with an 8 mm thick steel construction, a Vee shaped full keel hull, and a very angular bow. This design is ideally suited for displacement speeds which allows for half the power of what the usual planning yachts of this size need. With twin 700hp engines, the C23-82 should give a top speed of 13 knots at light load. Interior the C23-82 has a standard three double cabins plus crew layout. An optional four cabin version which will make minus the tender garage aft is available.

Project: Marlow 76LR Voyager

Marlow presents the project for the 76LR Voyager what will be the first of a new line from this renowned Explorer Yacht builder. The Voyager series is not just a new fancy name to some different looking Marlow, but is also a new Explorer Yacht concept which according to its builder features a very efficient semi displacement hull. The 76LR Voyager should also have a bulb and feature pod propulsion. This configuration should give about 30% better speeds and range versus full displacement hulls, and allow for trans oceanic capability without the need of extra fuel tanks. The 76LR Voyager will also have solar panels above the raised pilot house which reduces the need of continuous generator running often associated with this size of yacht. Accommodation is for a main deck with a spacious saloon having a U-shaped galley, and a master stateroom to forward up three steps with full view. Below is the space for a lower deck featuring four staterooms. A galley area is in the companionway allowing guests to prepare coffee or a snack without going to the main deck. To aft is the crew quarters with two cabins and having a lobby equipped with microwave, refrigerator, ice maker, table and lounge. Aft of this is the toy storage area accessed by a large hydraulic door.

Interior wise the owner opted for a three berth forward cabin, custom couch in saloon, shower head, and large galley which also features an ice maker, Subzero freezer/refrigerator, and a custom granite counter top. Inside finishing is figured cherry wood cabinetry. Interesting is also the more to the standard sized mezzanine feature on the aft deck.

Project: Absolute 43 Fly

Absolute continue to upgrade its line of boats and follows the ongoing success of the open first and hardtop today sport cruiser and yacht models by putting its focus on the new motor cruiser yacht flybridge line up. The company has already shown project renderings for a 50 Fly a couple of weeks ago, and now presents the second of the flybridges which will be the 43 Fly. What will surprise on the 43 Fly is the amount of space the project team managed to create on a boat just measuring over thirteen metres overall, with sleeping berths for six guests, and two en-suited heads. The layout and plan of the accommodation below of the 43 Fly can in numbers compete with that of the bigger new 50 Fly set to launch also in the fall of this year. The 43 Fly can also be accessorized with optionals that make life on board easier like a high low hydraulic bathing platform aft, and a rigid hard top over the flybridge. Power for the 43 Fly will be from a twin Volvo IPS500 or optional 600 choice. Again Absolute uses the Volvo pods to power another model which with the 43 and 50 Fly will power nine out of ten Absolute models. A big faith from the Italian boat builder to the Swedish engine and propulsion manufacturer.

Project: Austin Parker AP42 Sport

Basing itself on the lines of the just launched Austin Parker AP42 Open, the Italian builder present a new sport cruiser interpretation with the project of a Sport version. This model actually shows what a thin line, or to sum it better a different superstructure can do to change the original traditional hull into a new Sport Cruiser interpretation. Also designed by Fulvio De Simoni the AP42 Sport looks very sweet with a muscle interpretation given by the high free board of the hull. Apart the change of super structure the AP42 Sport will keep much of the elements of the AP 42 Open lobster design like the wooden toe rail, and the same interior lower deck with a master suite to fore, galley and L-shaped settee. The main deck will also be the same but in this case this area is dedicated for a full sunshine or canopy covered open air environment.
