Projects: Parisi 850 Open, Parisi 850 Cabin

Founded in 1979 but with a real story that started in the thirties, Parisi has in recent years joined the Inrizzardi Group. The 850 which will available in two distinctive Open and Cabin style is the first Traditional Gozzo Cruiser project to come since Parisi joined the Italian Group of boat builders, which today counts seven important brands to its name, all located on the West sea part of Italy. Pictured above is the 850 Open project, which distinct itself from the Cabin version presented below with its lower profiled upper cabin structure. Other differences are the galley up on the main deck, and less spacious interior, this having three berths coming from a convertible V-shaped dinette to fore, and a single adult or two children mid ship berth. Below is also a separate shower head. Power options are from a single 230hp or twin 160hp diesel engines propelled with traditional in line shafts. While having an identical hull as the 850 Open, the Cabin version represents a real impressive interior offering superb accommodation for a Traditional Gozzo Cruiser of this size. In fact the 850 Cabin will offer an interior boasting four berths in a forward vee shaped double, and in a second mid ship located double bed. Apart this the 850 Cabin also offers a galley below, and a dining table for four which can convert to an additional berth. The 850 Cabin is also available with a stainless steel radar arch as pictured above, or an all weather hard top. Both Parisi 850 Open and Cabin will be built with a fibreglass hull, but will also have traditional amenities like full teak deck outside, and a wooden toe rail. The power options are also the same as the Open, with a single 230hp or twin 160hp engines which the builder estimates max speed of 30 plus knots, and a cruise of 22 to 24 knots on both versions.

Improve-it = Riviera 70 Enclosed Flybridge

Christmas has come early this year for two loyal Riviera owners, taking possession of their brand new 70 Enclosed Flybridges, both customised to the hilt and representing more important sales for Riviera current flagship. The first, will be among Australia’s best equipped luxury game Sportfish Yachts, and is named “Born to Battle” now belonging to an elated Peter Teakle, who set out to create the ideal home for cruising and competing. In his 50,000 nautical miles over twenty years and six Riviera’s, Peter has learned which details make a great game fishing boat, combined with those features that top it off as a thoroughly exquisite cruising boat. The retired Peter Teakle plans to cruise The Whitsundays, exploring the 74 islands in the group and seriously competing in the annual Lizard Island Game Fishing Tournament in which he was instrumental in changing the format to a tag-and-release competition. So enthused is Peter Teakle with his latest addition to his fleet, his new 70 Enclosed Flybridge is painted in Peter’s trademark colour scheme of black hull with black and gold detailing to the superstructure, that he has barely had the keys two days before taking off to his home port of Hamilton Island where the locals are holding their breath in anticipation of her arrival. They will not be disappointed. ‘Born to Battle’ is decked out with over one million dollars in extras, from the upgraded MTU engines boasting nearly 4,000hp, and an ice chipper that blasts out 12kg of ice per hour, to five hundred thousands in Furuno electronics, controlled by a mouse in the Skipper’s helm chair. There are even water sensing devices that operate the windscreen wipers, inspired by the same technology in Peter’s BMW. The engine room is something to behold, equipping Peter’s fourth boat with MTUs, effectively a Mercedes Benz in this case two 1920hp engines. The massive exhausts are sourced from Italy. All up, the engineering of ‘Born to Battle’ is the most advanced in Australia and is truly world standard. Also installed, for comfortable cruising and extra stability during offshore tournaments is a gyro stabiliser system, which virtually eliminates low speed boat roll, at anchor and underway. Peter and Nina have also designed the internal layout to suit the dual purpose of ‘Born to Battle’. The floor plan features the galley aft, flowing out to mezzanine seating and cockpit, plus a detachable boarding platform that can be removed for serious, competitive game fishing. The lounge area is forward of the galley and consists of two generous size tables on either side of the boat, both featuring wrap-around seating crafted in the softest beige leather. There’s also a matching leather bench seat capable of seating up to five adults adjacent to the impeccably equipped galley, but to call it a ‘breakfast bar’ is like calling Born to Battle a barge. Sleeping eight in four cabins, the boat was specifically designed for two couples and three full-time crew. There is a palatial full beam master suite, a guest double stateroom with en suite and the third cabin has been converted into a “bells and whistles” office housing Peter’s gadgets, computers and storage for every manual this technically advanced boat boasts. At the bow are two spacious crew cabins and a fourth bathroom. No detail has been overlooked, from the teak woodwork throughout, Amtico floors, and a neutral palette that owes a lot to Nina’s Swedish origins. Prior to its presentation, ‘Born to Battle’ was put through its paces by Steve McPherson from R Marine, who went as far as spending several nights onboard out on the Gold Coast Broad water to put ‘Born to Battle’ and all of her machinery and equipment through a series of thorough tests. Another Riviera 70 that is enjoying its finishing touches in preparation for delivery is bound for New Zealand and due to be handed over by Bruce McGill and his team from R Marine in Auckland before Christmas. The owner, his crew and Bruce McGill intend to cruise the boat to her home port in Auckland earlier in the New Year. Their delivery trip will take them, 438nm from the Gold Coast to the pristine, rugged and supremely beautiful island of Lord Howe Island for some serious exploring. At Lord Howe they will then take on fuel for the 800nm passage to New Zealand. The Riviera 70 boasts a cruise speed of 30 knots and top speed of 35 knots and a range of 1,000 nm. So far, Riviera has built and launched five of its 2008 presented flagship 70s, more like custom builds than production boats and nearly qualifying to a Super Sportfish status.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SL104

Renowned Italian Super Yacht builder Sanlorenzo presents the new SL104, receiving exterior design treatment from architects Franceso Paszkowski outside, and Rodolfo Dordoni inside. What long standing Sanlorezo collaborator Paszkowski for the SL104 presents a total redifinition to looks and echoes of this highly regard builder, with echoes of the 40 Alloy in the radar arch, new stern, and now having also hiding anchors. The main deck looks also less aggressive offering better comfort thanks to more height, with the raised forward pilot house also receiving a further movement to fore in order to offer a bigger flybridge deck. Although unless you see a Sanlorenzo 100, the model the new SL104 replaces next to each other this is very difficult to tell. A big change is also to the bathing platform with the SL104 having the longest platform ever seen on a Sanlorenzo with a bit of a new design here to the usual looks which have stayed with the Viareggio builder since the mid nineties. Further changes are also in the aft part of the flybridge use, now reserved as a sun worshippers paradise instead the usually tender stowage area. Milan interior designer Roldolfo Dordoni presented also an interior which looks more to luxury then to a lot of cabins with a three or four guest cabins plan. This last is quite standard in this size, with the three cabin plan being very unusual for a hundred footer. Crew space is for three or five in a two or three cabin plan. The SL104 has a fifteen degrees medium vee shaped hull, rather angled for this size with much of the competition usually offering flatter sections aft. Power is by twin MTU 2435hp which gives the SL104 a 28 knots wide open throttle performance, with a 26 knots all time cruise.

New Model: Colombo 37 Alldays

Big expectation awaits the Colombo 37 Alldays, which is the first complete new model to come out from owners Sarnico Group after taking over the legendary Italian Lake Como boat builder in 2007. Sarnico Group gave the duties of the new Colombo to design firms they have been working with for a long time which are Nuvolari Lenard for the upper structure who are collaborators since the 1995 introduced Sarnico 45, and Brunello Acampora from Victory for the hull. The 37 Alldays also represents a new direction for the Colombo shipyard but also for boats in this highly competitive size. The shape in itself is may be actually a bit tad reminiscent of the Sarnico designs with the wood giving compliments to the Giacomo Colombo legacy.

The new Colombo also surprises in its comfort being in this area also a top category boat, thanks to its wide beam, but also to the intelligent use of space. If someone knows Colombo the previous models where actually never renowned for there spaces, but more a testament to rich materials and super high class finishing details. Accommodation wise the new Colombo offers a two cabin interior below decks with owners cabin to fore, and a three berth guest cabin to mid ship this also enjoying spectacular views thanks to large triangle shape view windows. A separate bathroom with shower, head serves both cabins. The living area of the 37 Alldays is all on the main deck, with a spacious aft deck cockpit served by a settee, and a galley and C-shaped saloon inside. This part protected to inconvenient weather by a hardtop which features a glassed opening sunroof, and a fully retractable patio door. Furniture wood for hull number one is white oak wood.
