Classic Italian Yacht Sinks in Scarlino

A classic Italian Cantieri di Pisa motor yacht of nineteen meters in length sank while moored in its berth at Marina di Scarlino on the afternoon of 30th August.  The cause of the sinking are unknown but some reports say that the cause was for a failed exhaust.  The Akhir motor yacht was reported unattended at the time of the sinking, and is reported to have touched the bottom, with some fuel liquids being dispersed during the sinking.  The yacht was salvaged couple days later.  Marina di Scalino is located in the South Central part of Tuscany in front of Elba island.

This Cantieri di Pisa is an Akhir 19 as designed by Pier Luigi Spadolini and from 1973 till 1978. The Akhir 19 evolved into a second generation model in 1979 and was replaced by the more clean lined 20 model in 1983.

Improve-it = Ferretti 780

Restyling or new model? Ferretti Yachts 780 has so many new style and design features that one possibly can speak about it as a new model, acknowledging the profound changes at both aesthetic and functional level.  The result of collaboration between the Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari, the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, and Ideaeitalia for the interior design, Ferretti Yachts 780 has been rethought to align it with the family feeling of the new fleet, reprising and evolving the stylistic hallmarks introduced in the latest 500 and 1000 models.  The new features introduced by the restyling range from the adding of larger glazed surfaces in the hull, serving the lower deck cabins and giving the yacht’s sleek and streamlined profile an even sportier look, to the new layout and decor of the flybridge, with a larger central bar area in the standard layout. The major redesign of the interiors introduces several highly appreciated new features found on the latest models in the range, including a choice of two décor moods: Classic, with warmer and more traditional colours inspired by the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples; and Contemporary, a more urban and modern look with cooler colourways inspired by Taormina in Sicily. The first new-era Ferretti Yachts 780 presented will feature the Classic mood.  Ferretti 780 is standard powered by twin Man 14000hp engines which give top speed up to 28 knots, and or optional 1550hp engines giving 31 knots.

Pardo Sport Cruiser Aground in Ibiza

A Pardo centre console sport cruiser of thirteen meters in length, ended aground in Ibiza on the night-morning of the 27-28th August.  The cause of the accident are unknown, but in the photo it looks to be a captain helmsman error during navigation. The Pardo thirteen meter was salvaged a day after in a yard in Ibiza with important damage to its IPS drives, possibly totalled, and not breaking but visible fiberglass damage to its deep-Vee keel.  

The Pardo in this collision is a 43 as designed by Zuccheri and produced from 2017, debuting Cantieri del Pardo's second motor boats entry following a stint with the Hudson and Ricci brand in 1989 to 1996.  The 43 is a huge success for Pardo with one hundred units sold in its first production year.

A Princess sport yacht of sixteen meters in length ended on the reef of Cap de St.Tropez on the morning of 28th August.

The Princess in this accident is a V53 as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2006 till 2009.  The Princess V53 was replaced by the V56, the same model but with extended bating platform.

New Model: Overmarine Mangusta Oceano 50

The first unit of the Mangusta Oceano 50, a stately model among Mangusta Oceano long-range displacement vessels, was launched on Saturday 5 June. The Mangusta Oceano 50 is a displacement yacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure. Her outer lines have been pencilled by Alberto Mancini, who worked side by side with the Shipyard's Engineering Department to make the most of and optimise the vessel's exterior and interior spaces while still falling within 500GT. Naval architecture has been taken care of by engineer Ausonio’s design firm P.L.A.N.A. Design. The final outcome is an exquisite combination of advanced technological solutions that go hand in hand with innovative design. On all Mangusta yachts, the leitmotiv is always the perfect balance between the exteriors and interiors, allowing the Owner and his guests to choose from many private and convivial areas and spend the holidays the way they have always dreamt of. Indeed, the Mangusta Oceano 50 offers her guests a number of pleasant outdoor areas, the most striking one being probably the beach area: featuring a sauna too, it develops over three connected terraces just above the water, for a close contact with the sea. Integrating the garage in the forward deck plane has resulted in optimised onboard spaces and brought the overall beach club area to an impressive 68 square meters, allowing this 50 m vessel to offer her guests the comfort and features normally found on much larger yachts. On the main deck, the aft cockpit reminds of the living room of a villa; the aft door opens up fully, creating a harmonious continuum with the salon and letting air and natural light flood the entire area, an effect that is further magnified by the two large side sliding doors. The bow area features revolutionary, cutting-edge technological solutions: the airy and stylish cockpit is located above the garage, which, once the tender has been launched, can be filled with water to obtain a real depth swimming pool with counter flow system. Another Jacuzzi pool can be found on the sun deck, offering a breath-taking sea view. This area is completed by a comfortable, fully-equipped relaxation area and a dining table seating up to 12 people, sheltered by a full-width hard top. Stepping indoors, this vessel has a five cabin layout on the lower deck, with four guest cabins and a full-beam gym, as required by the Owner. The spacious master stateroom is located on the main deck and is fitted with an exclusive fully-automated balcony overlooking the sea. Two MTU 1700hp engines will push this yacht to a maximum speed of 16 knots, but will also allow her to reach an impressive transoceanic range of 4,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11 knots. Zero Speed electric stabilizers will ensure unmatched comfort both when cruising and at anchor. The Mangusta Oceano line has been conceived to offer Owners an exclusive onboard experience, enabling them to enjoy life at sea surrounded by beauty, elegance, and exclusive comfort no matter the destination they choose to explore. Two more Oceano 50 are currently under construction, with unit number 3 “Project Salerno” expected to be ready for delivery in spring 2023.

Flybridge Cruiser Gets Knocked Off Its Stacks

A Fed Express van backed and collided with a dry stacked ten meter Bayliner flybridge motor cruiser on the morning of 27 August in a boat yard in Vancouver, British Columbia.  Thankfully this accident had minor consequences as the flybridge cruiser rear stacks just managed to hold the boat.  This could have been a much worse scenario if the collision would have been just a bit stronger and the boat dropping off its stacks and then hitting other boats creating a domino affect.  The Bayliner boat damage received a couple minor fiberglass cuts at the bottom of the hull with the collision. 

The Bayliner in this accident is a 3258 Avanti Flybridge as produced from 1995 to 2000.  The Bayliner 3258 Avanti Flybridge was a replacement to the 3288 Motor Yacht and was replaced by the 3488 Command Bridge.

Classic Baglietto Goes on Fire in Varazze

A classic Baglietto motor yacht of eighteen meters in length went on fire while on its berth at Marina di Varazze in West Liguria on the late afternoon of 26 August.  The Savona Coast Guard was immediately active to control the fire with the cp863 fire fighting boat, which it did in a timely manner.  Following the accident, a report stated that no injuries to persons happened, zero pollution, and no damage to neighbour boats or third parties occurred.  The Baglietto motor yacht was the day after dry-docked in a boat yard, and set under investigative arrest.  Externally the yacht showed little damage and this shows how much slower wood burns compared to fiberglass.

The Baglietto in this accident is a 1975 build 18 M2.  The second generation 18 M2 was introduced in 1973 recognizable from the 1966 launched first generation by its straighter lines and coach roof.  Introduced in 1966 with the first generation 18 M and 14 M, the Baglietto M series changed how the Italian motor yacht looked, the line featuring five models from fourteen to the 20 M and will sell a total of 196 units, 72 units for the 20 M model alone.  In the mid eighties Baglietto presented the fiberglass 16.50 M2, with little success and the moulds selling to Falcon Yachts and used for its first model.

New Model: X-Power 33C

With more than forty years of experience in performance sailing boats, X-Yachts by surprise enter into powerboat with the X-Power 33C.  A classic design inspired with minimal touches sport cruiser, the X-Power 33C was presented as a project in 2019 and after some serious testing in the Danish sea launched in the early part of 2021.  For its ten meter size the 33C offers interesting spaces outside, and an interior sleeping two in a spacious V-berth forward.  The X-Power 33C is powered by a Yanmar 320hp up to 370hp single engine. The 33C will use a patented Petestep hull; a vee shape hull which from the rendering on the official website features different triangle designed spray rails with the last of these forming a step.  The X-Power 33C looks a very well thought out seaworthy sport cruiser, yet its a let down that in all this is only available with a single engine and a CE C design category, meaning only thought out for coastal cruising.  As the X-Power range goes a hard top cabin version of the X33 is currently under build set to launch in 2022, while a bigger over twelve meters in size larger model is set for 2023.
