New Model: Riva 86 Domino

Riva's new 86 Domino is a new Super Sport Yacht featuring clean, winning lines designed by long time designer for the status symbol builder Mauro Micheli Officina Italiana Design. This 26 metre open hard top immediately impresses with her balanced beauty showing a unique special personality, through which the aggressive character of all Riva's transpires. This character is further enhanced by the new Metallic Ice colour covering hull and deck house, creating a spectacular, high-impact effect. Designed for those who love sporty lines which in no way affect the yacht's simple style, the new 86 Domino is an evolution of size and concept from the 63 Vertigo, and 68 Ego Super models. Owner and guests can enjoy more space, and a number of different areas for socialising, characteristics which make this yacht ideal for both long cruises and daily life on board. As already seen on the 2008 new model the 92 Duchessa, the Domino also features the large sundeck on the foredeck, featuring a dinette with a table for six. There is further seating aft with another table seating six guests, and a comfortable sofa. The 86 Domino also follows recent trends of a sport flybridge with an upper sundeck perfectly integrated into the lines meaning it cannot be perceived from outside. This area features a second helm station, ideal for mooring manoeuvres, and a sunpad with a reclining back which can accommodate three guests. The closed, air-conditioned main deck upper salon, creates an open space area with the dinette, and is separated from the helm station by a large LCD television. This solution guarantees the passage of natural light both through the large side windows and the windshield, fully lighting this area. The design of the furnishing elements, and the choice to match the special shades of elm and grey with natural-coloured leather inserts and grey lacquering make this an attractive, welcoming environment, emphasising the spaciousness. The fully-equipped galley is located on a middle level between lower and main deck, and accessed from the left hand side of the helm station, whilst the crew cabins for four persons are accessed from the stern cockpit. They feature a head and dinette, guaranteeing total privacy for owners and their guests. The special design of the large window in correspondence with the full beam master cabin located amidships follows the surfaces of the hull, integrating into it perfectly and ensuring as much light as possible in this environment. Equipped with an en-suite head and walk-in wardrobe, the master cabin also has a private living-room area and vanity. The VIP cabin, with en-suite head, is located at bow, whilst two twin-bedded guest cabins with en-suite heads, are located between this and the master suite. The port side guest cabin also features a system of sliding beds on tracks that allows to transform it into a second, double-bedded cabin. Fitted with twin 2435hp MTU engines and a system for managing and controlling all on board functions, Riva's new 86 Domino guarantees an excellent performance and total sailing comfort, reaching a top speed of 38 knots and a cruise speed of 34.

Projects: Mainship 35 Trawler, Mainship 35 Pilot

Mainship will introduce two brand new 35 footer in both Trawler and Pilot models in replacement to the 34 feet series. The US builder declares that customer feedback has been the idea about the complete redesign of there medium size offer. Thanks to this the new 35 Trawler will have a second stateroom, and a galley up design. Entering the 35 Trawler salon, many enhancements will be very evident. First, the fully-outfitted galley is located in the aft port corner of the salon. This location results from the new raised dinette area just forward, which provides stand-up headroom in the guest stateroom below. The galley, which features a 2 burner electric stove, microwave, refrigerator freezer and Corian counter tops, features an expansive window view as well. Forward, the raised dinette has a wonderful view. A sofa with optional sleeper or lounge chairs completes the salon aft to starboard, and the lower helm lies just forward of this area. The companionway leads below to the new portside guest stateroom. This cabin features walk-in headroom at the foot of the berth and hanging locker area. In addition, the pillow end of the bed sports two and a half feet of headroom. This layout will work well for couples, families or charter boat companies as the second stateroom provides not only extra accommodations, but excellent additional storage area. Cruising range from Mainship has not been communicated, altough Mainship says that as all its Trawler line will be outstanding also for the new 35. Power options include a vee drive single Yanmar 380hp diesel or a single gas engine.

Building on the success of its tried and test 34 Pilot design, Mainship enhances the livability and functionality of the design with key improvements and introduces the new 35 Pilot. Again both customer and dealer feedback played a big part in the development of the new model, so the 35 Pilot draws from the popular earlier model by utilizing the same 34 hull, but with a new deck and interior layout. The salon area will feature UltraLeather seating with two opposing settees, and the cherry plank flooring provides a durable, beautiful sole. The forward berth area has now been transformed to a full stateroom with sliding pocket doors for privacy. The owner cabin has been upgraded to a queen as opposed to the prior smaller V-berth, and there is generous storage space in two cedar-lined hanging lockers and center line berth drawers. Both areas are well-lit and ventilated by the opening screened port lights. The new 35 Pilot will also have a second cabin with an athwart ships double berth. Most notably, this guest stateroom features full walk-in headroom at the entry and a hanging locker area. As with all Mainship yachts, storage is plentiful in this cabin and the hanging locker is cedar-lined. To starboard, the new 35 Pilot features a larger head. In this area, the space has been increased to incorporate a shower compartment enclosed by hinged plexiglass walls. Mainship’s sundeck galley became a hallmark of the Pilot line with last year’s introduction of the 31 Pilot, and the new 35 makes use of this alfresco layout as well. Located on the starboard side of the helm deck, the sundeck galley is fully equipped, sporting a two burner electric stove, microwave oven, refrigerator freezer, stainless steel sink, and extra storage under the Corian countertop. Portside helm deck seating options include a dinette or an L-shaped lounge. Power options will include a vee drive single Yanmar 380hp diesel or a single gas engine.
