New Model: Ritchie Howell 42 Express

Custom Carolina builder Ritchie Howell completed its 42 Express in the last December month of 2009. This express was built for an owner who made the upgrade from an eight metre production boat, to a thirteen metre custom made to measure build. A big change not only in size but also concept, of what is a boat made to your wishes. The 42 Express was built to the usual Ritchie Howell cold mold jig method, with structures in wood covered with fibre glass and epoxy. Interior wise the owner opted for a three berth forward cabin, custom couch in saloon, shower head, and large galley which also features an ice maker, Subzero freezer/refrigerator, and a custom granite counter top. Inside finishing is figured cherry wood cabinetry. Interesting is also the more to the standard sized mezzanine feature on the aft deck. The 42 Express is also equipped with latest Sportfish amenities like tackle rod storage throughout, Release Marine helm, Release fighting chairs, Rupp riggers, custom tower with second station controls, in-transom kill box, freshwater ice maker with ice dump for fish box, and a cockpit bait freezer. Performance is respectable to the usual custom standards with twin 775hp Cats giving a 40 knots top speed.

Project: Absolute 43 Fly

Absolute continue to upgrade its line of boats and follows the ongoing success of the open first and hardtop today sport cruiser and yacht models by putting its focus on the new motor cruiser yacht flybridge line up. 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.
