Class 1 - Brazil Race 2 Fazza 3 Makes 2/2

Arif Al Zafeen and Nadir Bin Hendi completed a hat-trick of wins, winning race 2 of the Brazilian Grand Prix to take a maximum 40 points from round one of the UIM Class 1 World Powerboat Championship and make the perfect start to the defence of their World Championship title. Fazza 1 pushed their teammates all the way to claim another second place finish, with Duemme - Foresti & Suardi’s all-Italian pairing of Giampaolo Montavoci and Guido Cappellini claiming a first podium, in their first Grand Prix weekend together. The reigning world champions, led from start-to-finish, claiming a tenth race win in only their twelfth race together, a career fourteenth for both. Despite an electrical failure, Al Zafeen and Bin Hendi were able to hold off a determined challenge from their closest rivals and teammates to take the victory, completing the 71.32Nm course in 47mins 16.14secs. A close race saw Fazza 1 get within touching distance of their teammates while holding off a strong challenge from Duemme - Foresti & Suardi behind them. Two podiums from the weekend saw them consolidate second place in the championship on 30 points. An inspired performance by new-pairing Montavoci and Cappellini in Duemme - Foresti & Suardi saw them claim their first podium together. Moving up from fourth on the grid they briefly held second place as they traded long-laps with Fazza 1. The third place finish, Montavoci’s first podium since Portorose, Slovenia, in 2006, delighted the experienced Italian. A spin on lap six of the race prevented Team Abu Dhabi’s from pushing for the podium. Their fourth placed finish was well earned and the new pairing will take heart from a good performance by both boat and team, giving them something to build on for the next race. Fabio Magnani and Marco Pennesi in Foresti & Suardi - SCAM produced another solid performance taking fifth place in their second outing together, going two better than in race 1, to make it an eleven-point weekend. Welmax Alianza’s Giorgio Manuzzi and Marit Stromoy claimed their second consecutive sixth place in their first grand prix outing together, however, their was frustration for teammates Jorn Tandberg and Kolbjorn Selmer, in Welmax, who were unable to build on yesterday’s podium finish after stopping on the start lap before restarting, only to see their race hopes end a lap later with a broken compressor belt. The UIM Class 1 World Powerboat Championship now heads to Europe for round 2, on the dazzling fjords of Arendal, Norway, on 16-18 July, 2010.

Project: Riviera 43 Open Flybridge

Riviera presents the project for a new 43 Open Flybridge, latest in design from this down under World famous boat builder set to launch in the Sanctuary Cove show in May. This new model incorporates function and style within a supremely comfortable, sea-kindly hull. The most striking aspect about Riviera’s latest creation is its design approach: a thoroughly modern methodology progressing the Sportfish Cruiser design into the next generation. Designed exclusively using Riviera’s Unigraphics three dimensional CAD software system, the result is a superbly considered boat with abundant light and space. The 43 Open Flybridge brings the outdoors in, creating an alfresco environment with a seamless transition between the expansive cockpit and the contemporary leather and varnished cherry interior. The main saloon is both beautiful and practical, with seating for seven in a U-shape lounge to starboard around a generous sized, timber folding table. To port is a two-seater leather lounge that can be brought forward to the saloon table as two separate dining chairs. When not required, the chairs are stowed neatly between the bar and open plan galley on the port side. Below decks there is sleeping accommodation for up to six in two large cabins. The forward master stateroom features a queen sized two metre long double bed, with a cedar-lined hanging robe, extensive storage and an ensuite bathroom. The aft, full beam cabin has large port lights with optional opening portholes either side for natural light and cross ventilation. A large skylight under the forward saloon windscreen provides additional light to this cabin creating a very bright and welcoming space. The flybridge, accessible from the cockpit via a new design stair ladder, offers 360 degree vision with minimal interruption, thanks to a new structural hard top canopy. Swivel companion and helm chairs allow finger tip console control while there is seating for four in an L-shape lounge in front of the helm around a weatherproof table. A wet bar with settee opposite on the port side completes the flybridge comforts. When it comes to propulsion, the proven Volvo IPS has allowed Riviera designers to create a fresh accommodation layout on the new 43 Open Flybridge. With all major engineering positioned well aft, enormous gains are made with beam-width space amidships. The pod installation allows Riviera’s New Product Design Manager, Alan Dowd to create a high performance running surface to the 43 Open Flybridge that is extremely fuel efficient cruising at 28 knots with a top speed of around 31 knots, and a range of 340 nautical miles from its 1800 litre tanks. The hull and deck construction is solid hand-laid fibreglass below the waterline and core materials in the hull topsides and superstructure. This composite laminate design makes good use of weight where it is needed delivering a solid soft ride offshore. Controlling all onboard electrics is the digital CZone system. A revolutionary solid state Controller Area Network (CAN) bus design, that allows for the ultimate in customisation and finger-touch control of all aspects of electrical operation, from entertainment lighting to navigation equipment. There are multiple custom settings for easy operation and the CZone system allows for the ability to drill down within each setting in order to control or change specific operations. CZone also talks the same data language as the Volvo IPS system, so all your engine parameters are metered through the same monitoring system.

Class 1 - Brazil Race 1 for Fazza 3

A phenomenal performance by Fazza 3 saw them leave the field behind to dominate from start-to-finish to win race 1 of the Brazilian Grand Prix, the opening round of 2010 UIM Class 1 World Powerboat Championship.

The defending world champions were uncatchable and put on a master class, to lead home the field by over 45 seconds. Teammates Fazza 1 made the most of a fantastic start to complete a Victory Team one-two, with Welmax completing the podium, finishing in third place.

Fazza 3’s Arif Al Zafeen and Nadir Bin Hendi followed up their Edox Pole Position win earlier in the day, with a performance of speed and skill that showcased to their rivals why they are world champions. The perfect start to the defence of their title was made by sealing victory over the 54.94Nm course in 35mins 44.56secs.

Mohammed Al Marri and Abdullah Al Mehairbi in Fazza 1, made a perfect start from third on the grid, passing Welmax to move into second place. From there they held off the challenge from the Norwegians and were rarely troubled as the pair claimed their first second place finish.

The all-Norwegian Welmax, piloted by Jorn Tandberg and Kolbjorn Selmer, were satisfied with the final podium place. A sluggish start saw them challenged early on by Team Abu Dhabi, who were a mere 0.16secs behind at the end of the start lap. However, after both outfits had run their long-laps, Welmax got ahead and streaked away to start closing in on Fazza 1, but despite their best efforts the Norwegians could not get close enough to make a move for second place, finishing 9.75secs behind.

Following disqualification from the Edox Pole Position, after setting the fourth fastest time, due to a weight-rule infringement, Duemme - Foresti & Suardi’s Giampaolo Montavoci and Guido Cappellini were forced to start from the back of the grid. A jump start then saw them penalised further with a long-lap penalty, after which they were running in fifth place. Another penalty long-lap, this time for Team Abu Dhabi for missing a turn buoy, allowed Montavoci and Cappellini to close the gap to just over five seconds. A fuel problem for Team Abu Dhabi’s Rashed Al Tayer and Nicola Giorgi, which prevented them from accelerating out of the corners, then allowed the experienced Montavoci and new partner Cappellini to overtake at the end of lap 12 and move them up into fourth place.

Welmax Alianza’s new pairing of Giorgio Manuzzi and Marit Stromoy followed up a solid performance in their first outing together in qualifying and despite a high-speed spin on lap seven, finished in sixth place ahead of Fabio Magnani and Marco Pennesi in Foresti & Suardi - Scam. A Fazza one-two bodes well for the team that swept all before them in 2009 and the challenge is now on for their rivals to see if they can split the Dubai-based team’s raceboats in race 2 of the Brazilian Grand Prix, tomorrow.

New Model: Ferretti 800

On Monday 22nd February, the new Ferretti 800 moved out of the Cattolica shipyard to reach the nearby dock for technical sea trials. The Ferretti 800 is just over 24 metres of length making it what is often referred to a pocket Super Yacht status. In its first sea trials according to Ferretti's technical department the 800 confirmed a perfect hydrostatic trim, with an excellent sea keeping, going beyond the performances and noisiness expectations when cruising. According to Ferretti the 800 is also extremely manageable when turning, with great satisfaction of AYT, responsible for the project which has been developed together with Zuccon International Project. The 800 as we stated in our project presentation a few weeks back features a different interior combination which sorts of goes back to the future with a lower deck having the crew quarters to fore, engines to aft, and thus allowing for more spaces for the owners and guests. Long standing designer Zuccon now with Ferretti for a twenty year period also presented clever looks which make you think of a raised pilot house, but in fact it is not. Although the lower helm station has a feeling of being separate and is up three steps from the lower part of the saloon. Power is from twin MAN 1800hp with so far not confirmed top speed estimates of 31 knots. Now the Ferretti 800 will be presented as a preview to clients and dealer network during an event which will be held in April, and after that it will be officially launched at the coming Cannes show in September.

Project: Wally 24m Wallyshadow

One of the most forward looking boat builders in the planet, Wally presents the project of the 24m Wallyshadow which marks the Italian Monaco company entry into the displacement yachting world. The 24 metre Wallyshadow looks different, but most of all it is. Unusual planning here starts with the guest cabins all located from midship to aft, a central ship located to the beam tender garage, galley and crew quarters located in the forward part, and a sports pitch sized flybridge top deck all reserved for entertainment. The Shadow will also be available in a three or four cabin format below. In the third cabin format the owners cabin is large and is located to aft. Displaying 85 tons with a fiberglass construction the displacement Wally 24m Wallyshadow will be powered by small but very economic twin Cats 275hp engines. Performance should be for a 12 knots max, with a range of up to 3200 nautical miles possible at a 9 knots cruise. For best comfort and less rolling the 24m Wallyshadow is equipped with gyroscopic stabilizers as standard.

Boat Review: Cerri 102 Flying Sport

Presentation
Cerri's 102 Flying Sport follows on what this refined North Italian builder did with the 86 but in a bigger more important one hundred foot plus size. Launched in late Spring 2009 Cerri's 102 Flying Sport is the biggest yacht ever build by the Tuscany, Carrara builder which continues a story filled with cross over style design innovation as the main character. Obviously company owner Carlo Cerri follows the schemes seen on the 86, in the 102 featuring the much wanted invisible unnoticeable only know about once you are on it flybridge. Then again just like the smaller 86 the 102 is much more then just Flying Sport offering a semi custom interior, high performance surface drives propulsion giving forty knots top speeds, and a reliable sea worthy hull designed by military experienced engineer Gianfranco De Casa. If you liked what you have seen with the 86 be ready also for more on the big Cerri, as is the case with the top fly deck which is similarly large as to that of a standard flybridge Super Yacht.
Accommodation
Customization is a stamp for Cerri who made tailor making request a big part to his boats from the start. This is farther testified with the all different twelve units delivered of the 86. Hull number one of the 102 Flying Sport featured a not so common for this size Super Sport Yacht five cabin version. A four cabins version with a larger owners cabin is also available.
The 102 welcomes you on its aft deck with a sunpad, curved settee for five persons, central table and free chairs making this area excellent for Al fresco entertaining. Going to fore is very easy with deep side bulwarks all around. The central theme of the fore deck is for the central located circular table which is a second more private dining Al fresco area, and the large sunpads forward to this. Another third exterior socializing area is the flybridge reached from a stair case inside. If you think this is just a second sporty helm station you are wrong as here we have 28 squared metres of space just right to compete with a similar sized looking full flybridge yacht. The layouts on the flybridge are endless and owners can really use there imagination. You can have it like in the plans with a large C-shaped settee to aft, or as the case for hull one using free moving chaise lounges to suit your needs.
Entering inside of the 102 Flying Sport you are welcomed into the interior relaxing area saloon. Here you find a C-shaped settee with a sofa opposite. More to fore is the dining table for ten persons and to starboard we have the stairs which lead to the large flybridge. Upfront of the main deck and ahead to the dining table is the three seated central interior helm station which can be separated from the living area by a descending blind. The galley is located to mid ship below decks and is a C-shaped design. Here is also the space for a lobby and an extra crew berth. To fore reached from the outside deck is the other twin double bunk cabins with shower head.
Going to the guest cabins below is from a circle shaped stair case to starboard. The five cabins layout offers a VIP to fore, two double guest cabins in between, a second VIP to port side, and the central owners suite located centrally. Hull one also featured a small L-shaped settee with TV unit below. In the four cabins version you will loose the second VIP and get more room in the owners suite which benefits from a large walk in wardrobe. All cabins in the 102 Flying Sport are en-suited in both the plans so far on offer.

Toy storage plays also an important part in the 102 Flying Sport with the aft garage taking a large tender and jet bike, and a stowage for a small motorcycle on the main deck. One last note is that while the script above and plans below show actual layouts these are just examples for hull one and two, and if the 86 was any proof Cerri really make the possibilities endless to customize a build to owners wishes.

Performance

Just has been since 1997 when Cerri debuted its first 28 model, the 102 Flying Sport features a hull design by Engineer Gianfranco De Casa. While not much known outside the professional scene, De Casa is a very famous military and working hull designer and so far did all Cerri's previous five models underwater shapes. For the 102 Flying Sport, De Casa presented a medium vee warped shaped hull which ends with a sixteen degrees deadrise aft. Unusually angled for this size of yacht and what should make a formidable match to surface drives propulsion and high forty knots top speeds. Hull one for the 102 Flying Sport was fitted with twin MTU 2400hp engines, and Arneson surface drives. This package produces a fast 40 knots top speed, and an all time cruise of 33 knots giving a range of 450 nautical miles.

Competition

The Cerri 102 Flying Sport gets to be a bit unique against its super sport yacht peers. What makes Cerri's flagship stand out is surely the big flybridge, high customization, and the five cabins layout. This seems to be not available from the competition bar the new bigger Pershing 108. Performance is also similar with some staying with a tradition line shaft system like the Azimut 103SL which is the slowest, others opting for jet propulsion like the Arno and the Overmarine, and some opting for a triple propulsion choice as the Pershing or as optional on the Baia One Hundred.

Arno Leopard 32M - flybridge, but looks sport overall

Azimut 103SL - you see the flybridge on the red SL, but it is sleek

Baia One Hundred - huge glassed surfaces, invisible fly, 50 knots with 3500hp MTU

Pershing 108 - launching soon, similar fly deck, 41 knots, five cabins optional

WILD CARD: Overmarine 105 Mangusta - raised saloon helm, similar performance

Conclusion

Carlo Cerri thirteen years of operation has given a lot to the boating world not only for cross over design innovation but also for a unique way to build its product. If you visit Cerri shipyard you will be surprised in that you will find adjacent to the boat building premises a gym with pool and spa, and music played while the workers are completing the boats. With this Cerri is passing on a strong message in a producing World where numbers seem the only thing important. It is true numbers are important but if you want someone to build your boat you want these people to have a passion for it, feel good in the premises, and to be part of a family. The 102 Flying Sport is a proof of how since 1997 the Cerri brand has flourished and follows its Constructors of Passion trademark. This new Cerri 102 Flying Sport flagship as is the smaller 86 and the other projects in store from the Italian Tuscany company like a bigger 120, and a smaller seventy foot model are just testimony to this.

New Model: Dellapasqua DC9 Elite

As has always been the tradition of this builder Dellapasqua show its roots to the past not only in the lines of its boats, hull shape, drive systems and construction method but also in the designation model 9 Elite name. In fact the nine metres for this model is a water line measurement as the most recent addition to the Dellapasqua family measures a full eleven metres overall. That is six feet more to what nine metres would be! Apart of this the Dellapasqua 9 Elite is a pure offshore Sport Cruiser coming from the past from its very Hunt influenced deep-V hull to the solid glass construction. The 9 Elite is in many areas not far away from what you would have seen in the seventies. The new medium sized Dellapasqua 9 Elite welcomes you on board in its large cockpit aft deck offering a sun pad to aft, L-shaped settee, wet bar, and helm station. Below the accommodation is a limited but well laid affair with a separate owners double berth cabin to fore, dining table to starboard which converts to an extra twin berth, and separate shower head. Space is important for the Dellapasqua family builders but comes always second behind perfect weight distribution, and the stability from a direct in line shaft propulsion. The new Dellapasqua DC9 Elite is powered by twin 400hp turbo diesel engines.

Improve-it = Cabo 40 Flybridge

During the recent Miami boat show Cabo has presented a redesigned interior for the 40 Flybridge model. Cabo’s designers have improved this most popular Sportfish Cruiser flybridge model with added interior comfort and design appeal. Cabo retained the beautifully finished teak used in the 40 Flybridge cabinet doors, then expanded its use and coverage to the cabinet frames, storage lockers, and bulkheads for a more inviting environment. Cabo also introduced several new decor packages for customers to choose from, adding wall coverings and padded panel options instead of bare gel coat in the living spaces. The two cabin two heads interior of the refreshed 40 Flybridge represent an evolutionary change for one of Cabo's best sellers, providing a new level of thoughtful attention. The interior design below deck in a Cabo equals the detail which has always gone into the cockpit, helm deck and wiring which is considered an industry standard. While the new 40 Flybridge interiors are definitely more luxurious, the fit and finish is designed to retain the low maintenance approach of the traditional utilitarian interiors they replace. Also a new option for the 40 Flybridge is the availability of ZF Zeus pod propulsion with twin 600hp Cummins option. This choice follows what was seen on the 40 Express, Cabo's first pod drive boat which shares the same Micheal Peter's hull with the 40 Flybridge. For those still in doubt of new technology Cabo still offers three engine choices with the traditional line shaft propulsion from 715hp Cats, up to 800hp MANs.

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: Marlow Voyager 76LR

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.

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.

Project: Galeon 385 Open

Galeon presents the project of the 385 Open, mirroring the hardtop version below the shear line, in the cabins and the practical department, but having its topsides which say head in the air driving experience. Like the 325 before it, with the 385 the famous Straszyn Polish builder and British designer Tony Castro redo what they did in 2008 and follow the demanded HT for Hardtop project with a sportier 385 Open version. The 385 Open gives a younger feel to the overall looks versus the HT version with Tony Castro following a family feeling in this new bigger model which mirrors the Galeon line but mostly the smaller 325 Open sister. The 385 indeed does look similar in the lines, the long sports side window, forward looking radar arch, the windshield which comes from the moulded structure, and an aft cockpit deck which uses half the length. For the remaining the 385 Open is exact as its hardtop sister for what is the accommodation with a well laid flush aft deck cockpit outside, and a two cabins, two shower heads interior. Propulsion will be a stern drive solution offering good speeds and best economy.

New Model: Cayman 60 HT

Following what was presented a year before with the 75 HT flagship, Cayman unveils the similar smaller sister with the new 60 HT model. Cayman did not want to complicate matters for the second model of the HT range, giving again design job to Carlo Trezzi. Previous to the 2008 presented 75 HT launched last year, all Caymans have been designed by Nuvolari Lenard.

Project: Cabo 44 Hardtop Express

Scheduled to debut this fall, the 44 Hardtop Express project is a new design style for Cabo. The integrated hardtop signifies a next step in express design evolution for the Southern California Adelante boat builder, here utilizing a rigid three sided enclosure to offer better protection from the elements, improved visibility, and greater comfort on the helm deck. Below deck, the interior also marks a turn around offering a luxurious space equal to the Cabo 45 Express it will replace. The most dramatic difference in the layout is the addition of either an optional second stateroom, or an angler's room. This extra space allows for easy interior storage of fishing gear or the privacy of a second stateroom away from the master. Another intuitive touch is the placement of a full length galley counter against the aft bulkhead, making access to appliances easier while creating more floor space in the living dining area. The master stateroom and shared head are forward of the living area and offer the comfort and amenities that discriminating owners desire. Like every Cabo the design for this boat began in the cockpit to make sure that it meets the demands of serious anglers. Fish boxes, a tackle center, and bait well in the transom are all standard, and new mezzanine seating provides a comfortable perch when watching the spread. Like many of the latest Cabos to be introduced in the past few years, the 44's foundation is a Michael Peters designed hull. From there, the propulsion design, electrical systems, and attention to detail is executed in the same manner that built the Cabo reputation for a rugged and efficient build. Cabo and Michael Peters present an innovative design with luxurious appointments. The hard top design solution for the 44 Hardtop Express project gives also a great appeal to cruising enthusiasts that may have never considered a Cabo before, while continuing to meet the demands of its core market serious offshore anglers.

New Model: Aguti 20M

Aguti is a very Italian Latin sounding name, but this is a new German brand with capacity to build up to forty metres which sets sights on the high sphere of the market presenting its first 20M model. Designed by part yard owner Andreas Grieger, the Aguti 20M was built on Lake Constance in Germany taking fifty thousand hours to complete. For his first model which is a sixty five feet sport yacht Grieger went to traditional modern looks with a long teak covered flush fore deck saying classic big open yacht, a stern which reminds of speed boats of the early twentieth century, and a hard top integrating neatly with a traditional shaped curved wind screen. Apart from having a sliding movement the hard top of the 20M can also move vertical up down allowing fresh air to enter the cockpit and at the same time keeping shade. But the first Aguti model does not want to be special on looks alone and some functional equipment. The 20M wants to offer a unique product in the core, and this it does with the mahogany Kevlar construction, and a patented exhaust system which surpasses year 2014 regulations. The Aguti 20M also offers incredible all year round accommodation thanks to a patio door main deck, having a day galley, L-shaped settee, and central helm station. Down below we have a three double cabin lower deck plan, with owners suite to fore, C-shaped saloon, and a galley. Power for the 20M is twin MAN 1100hp which give a 32 knots top speed. Although more powerful engines and the tank tested hull shape do allow for speeds up to 50 knots.

Project: Kadey-Krogen 52

Kadey-Krogen announces the addition of a completely new project to its fleet of pure full displacement trawler yachts with the 52. Building on the ten year success of the Kadey-Krogen 58, the 52 offers many of the same design elements like a raised pilothouse and spacious living areas. In keeping with the company’s adherence to architectural integrity, the 52 is constructed with entirely new tooling as opposed to the very common industry practice of simply stretching the hull of a smaller model. Like every Kadey-Krogen yacht for nearly twenty years, the 52 will be built at Asia Harbor Yacht Builders in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The fully covered aft deck gives away the live ability of the 52. A feature of every Kadey-Krogen, showing space in the saloon through welded aluminum weather tight doors. Moving forward and to starboard is the gourmet complete galley with a full-size refrigerator. Like her larger sister, the 52 will have a weather-tight Dutch door providing direct access to the galley from the starboard walkway. Port side of the galley are the steps up to the pilothouse with household-like standard risers and treads plus a rock-solid banister for a safe and sure grip at sea. The pilothouse on the 52 accommodates dual helm chairs, rare for this size, allowing both captain and mate great visibility. Owners have the choice of a two or three cabin arrangement, with the master stateroom forward or amidships. The two cabin arrangement enjoys the utility of a large dedicated office space. Two heads are standard with any configuration, and both heads boast an enclosed stall shower. The 52 will be offered in both single and twin engine configurations and will feature Kadey-Krogen’s exclusive counter-faired keel, a design the company pioneered on the 58. This innovative keel design imparts a counter rotation of water flowing into the propeller, canceling some of the propeller induced water rotation. The result is straighter water outflow and improved forward thrust which generates better fuel economy than that of conventional keel designs. Standard power will be provided by a single John Deere continuous duty 231hp engine, with a twin John Deere 121hp available as optional. With 5300 litres of fuel, range is expected to be in excess of 3,000 miles at 7 knots with a top speed of 9.5 knots. Interestingly the company took a customer friendly approach in announcing the Krogen 52 with the builder contacting current owners to see if they were interested in the project, and then showing the a set of plans at the Trawler Fest in Fort Lauderdale. This system seems to have worked well for Kadey-Krogen receiving reservation for the first five hulls. Tooling for the Krogen 52 is expected to complete in late fall of this year, with the first hull arriving in the United States in summer 2011.
