New Model: Italcraft X90 SC

Italcraft launch the much expected X90 SC and continue to offer large Super Sport Yachts with a semi custom build attitude. Renowned for its hulls who come from the never ending testing in the military field, this Italian brand has always been among the first for technological achievements below the waterline. Now with the new 90 model, Italcraft challenges the future above, with architect Caputi taking a very modern design approach to the super structure. The X90 SC is the first Italcraft to offer also the latest fashion trend for sport yachts with a flybridge that does not disturb the sporty lines, and suited for a driving in the air experience. Hull number one for the 90 is slightly different to the design project renderings shown last year, with small changes visible in all areas but the main deck showing the most with the much expected circle shaped patio door which had to make half of this area become open missing and now replaced by a standard fiberglass structure with minimal side windows, a patio door and integrated stair case for the flybridge. The sunpads layout in the cockpit also differs now being of a standard central sunbed aft instead of the proposed three, and the same is on the flybridge, and on the fore deck. The rest of the project seems pretty close to the reality of what the design rendering showed with the forward windshield extended windows giving a sunroof which adds natural light to the lower helm and saloon, glassed parts in the side bulwarks, as well as the forward sunpad and settee on the fore deck. The lower deck also received some changes with the crew cabin located to aft and not to fore of the lower deck, and herewith including a lobby as well as the galley. The forward part of the lower deck now has the four en-suited cabins, with owner stateroom to midship, VIP to fore, and two double guest cabins in between. Still these changes might have been proposed by the owner and it would be no surprise to see hull two reflecting totally what was shown on the project renderings. Performance data has proved to be better then expected with the X90 SC reaching speeds of 45 knots, 5 knots more then anticipated with the twin MTU 2400hp and Top System surface drives.

The new Princess V56 is a further development of the V53, with the main difference being an extension of the length thanks to a hi low bathing platform aft, and now having also the option of a more powerful new Volvo D13 900hp engines. This new option increases the speed to a further two knots, now a max of 38 versus the D12 775hp engines, which is now the smallest option of the V56. For the rest this keeps the same lower deck of the V53, with a three cabin plan having the owners cabin to fore, two guest cabins to mid ship, a C-shaped saloon, and a spacious galley. A more modern oak veneer choice for the interior furniture should also be available for the new V56. Replacing the V70, the new V72 project enhances Princess reputation in modern Sport Yacht offers.

Below there is the usual level of accommodation with a three double cabin layout, galley, and double crew cabin aft. Power for the Princess V72 will be twin Cats C32 Acert of 1622hp and 1723hp. Estimates of top speeds are for 39 knots with the bigger choice.

New Model: Azimut 40S

Basing itself on one platform Azimut was wise and economic enough to create two different models on the exterior, and hitting with this to different client bases. This is the story for the 40S which has an identical hull to the 38 Flybridge launched a few weeks ago in Southampton. Azimut is not new to this concept having done the same with the 43 model in the recent past. The 40S steals the hull and interior plan of the flybridge sibling, but has a redesigned top side with the more lively and sporty super structure of the S range. The S range concept launched in 2003 is all about offering the living and comfort of a flybridge boat, but in a more aggressive looking and performing platform. It is worth to mention that this has been a huge success for Azimut from the start with the 68S the first model of the range receiving fifty orders in less then a year after its launch. Not bad for a sport yacht which at the time had a price tag of close to two million Euros. The 40S keeps the same 38 Flybridge well laid, luxury fitted twin cabin interior with huge view windows in all parts of this sport cruiser. Reflections and comparisons with the 38 do not stop on the design, but go on in the performance department too, with the 40S delivering a 4 nautical mile per hour faster 36 knots top speed, thanks to 125 extra horses per engine of the shaft propelled twin 480hp Cummins. An innovative feature which is not to miss are the two solar panels integrated in the hard top which charge the batteries during day time without the need of an external generator or shore power.
