Project: Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity

Cheoy Lee presents the project for a full displacement super yacht set to launch in about a years time, the 83 Serenity. This new member of the Cheoy Lee Serenity range is a seaworthy and economical yacht which takes some roots from trawler explorer style small ships. Designed by Michael Burvenich, the 83 Serenity is available in two different forms, a more traditional canoe stern design, or a European model, this last including a Euro-transom with twin stairs from the aft deck to the swim platform. The Euro transom can also be configured with an optional passarelle. The hull is designed with flatter sections aft that enables the hull to run faster than a traditional displacement shape of the same water line length, yet still calculated to be approximately 30% more efficient at cruising speed than a similar sized semi-displacements at equivalent speeds. The interior layout will be a split level saloon offering a relaxing lounge upon entrance with a C-shaped sofa to starboard, a bar with three stools, and dining table. Further forward and up a step is the working area of the main deck where will be a separate galley, day head, and the helm station room which also features an L-shaped settee to starboard. Below accommodation is a three double stateroom in the forward section, with the owners room to mid ship. Aft are two double crew cabins both with en-suite head. Power for the Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity will be from twin 660hp Cats with an optional of an independent hybrid system by Siemens which is powered by the generators. www.cheoylee.com

Project: Prestige 500 S

Prestige wants to make the last part of 2010 a very busy year for them presenting a total of three new projects. The new Prestige 500 S will replace the 50 S2 and as all the range is a Garroni design, with Premorel for the concept. For the 500 S Garroni follows similar ingenuity details as seen on relative Jeanneau family sport cruiser the new NC11, but here having bigger possibilities due to the extra four metres in size. The interior is full of superb concepts starting with the astern galley by the patio door, to the full beam owners master stateroom. Most impressive is surely that this is a three cabins sport yacht with full beam owners suite layout none of which is a bunk berth. Below offers space for three cabins, and apart the mentioned owners room located to mid ship, we have a VIP to fore peak, and a third two single berths guest room. Other creative ideas are the telescopic aft deck sun shield, and another open canopy for the fore deck sun pads, both of these usually found on boats of bigger sizes. Power options has so far not been announced but the image does show a pair of Volvo second generation series drives which should offer a power of 600 or 700hp to this thirteen tons sport yacht.

New Model: Trader 38 Sprint

Announcing this project in the end of 2008 Trader debuted the 38 Sprint in the middle of this year and made its official presentation in last month's Southampton boat show. A revolution for Trader who has in the past embraced semi displacement cruisers and yachts, and this is the first for a fast sport cruiser, with a full planning hull type model. The 38 Sprint is a cool concept and may be is a real version how a British sport cruiser should look. It surely is made for an all weather use and its aft patio door which opens for two thirds, sun roof, and side-door by the helm make for a good way of showing this versatility. Other features for only 39 feet of length over all are full deep walk around side decks, a one peace windscreen, and the fore part of the saloon settee which turns to become a passengers and co-driver seat. The living area all on the main deck is equipped with a galley, C-shaped settee, and a single seat helm station. Below is two cabin single head layout, with owners master room to fore.

Project: Pershing 50.1

Pershing presents the project of the 50.1 which is a reinterpretation of the top selling 50 model launched in 2003. This new sport yacht is again a work of architect Fulvio De Simoni, Pershing designer since ever, in collaboration with Ferretti Group AYT Advanced Yacht Technology, and the Centro Stile team. The new Pershing 50.1 is an expression of the Next Generation which, even with her sporty features, has a three double cabin interior which lives up to the expectations of those who know the style and the elegance of this famous brand. The new 50.1 will have the challenge to continue on the success of the 50 which has been the best selling model of the Pershing fleet for years. The new 50.1 combines great character with a high performance and excellent on-board living conditions. The below deck area is very comfortable and is exemplified by the specific attention to detail and choice of materials, such as the primary use of oak and the carpet for the flooring of the cabin and the dinette. In particular, the area occupied by the dinette features new varnished finishes which give the interiors a contemporary mark, like Matt finishes chosen to replace the previous glossy tones. With innovative aerodynamics and elegant lines the 50.1 is also the current smallest model of the Pershing fleet, as the 46 has been stopped in production for 2011. The 50.1 is available with Arneson surface transmissions which combined with twin MAN's 900hp engines, can reach a top speed of 46 knots, or 37 knots in the standard line shaft version.

Project: SACS 17.00 m Strider Z

SACS presents a most important project with the presentation of its new flagship the seventeen metre Strider Z which according to the builder features a good balance of concepts coming from the auto industry, and an interior style of a villa. You can define it a Rib for the tubes, but this soon to come SACS flagship is an evolved concept, developed on the criteria of substance. Its size at seventeen meters are dimensions of an important yacht, but its dynamic qualities are unique. Apart the essential known qualities of stability a Rib offers this project also comes with an innovative raised fully protected helm station which is separated from the lounging area and can seat four people. SACS also offers an optional hardtop version offering even better protection. Strider Z comes again from the hands of architect Christian Grande, responsible for all the latest SACS models who presented a sports and comfort mix Rib Yacht. An aft sun pad exceeding ten meters square of size welcomes you aft, and the living area is furnished with a long C-shaped sofa and two tables. The profile is characterized by the seamless integration of the tubes in the hull and a long window offers a panoramic view from the cabins. The interior is decorated with very fashionable materials, such as Travertine for the bathrooms and leather on the decks. The lower deck accommodation plan offers an owner suite, guest cabin with en-suite head, dining area with sofas, dining table and a big screen TV. Power for hull one which is presented this week in Genoa is of twin MAN 1200 hp with Arneson surface drives propulsion, which give this not so light nineteen tons Rib Yacht a 50 knots top speed.

Improve-it = Estensi 460 Goldstar C

Just after a couple months of launching the first Estensi 460 Goldstar C which is a hard top traditional cruiser style, this very active shipyard launches the optional flybridge version of this same model. In this flybridge version the 460 Goldstar C, with this last letter meaning Classic for the more from the past lines provided by the stern and the coach roof, takes also some fisherman looks. In actual fact the flybridge gives a cross over hint of a lobster down east and a fisherman, especially if seen from the stern. Although I am sure that no fish boxes aft will make many fisherman disagree with this. This model is also the second Goldstar to be equipped with a flybridge alongside the 560 C which is the current flagship of Estensi. Apart adding a flybridge to the 460 Goldstar C, Estensi also presented an alternative second interior layout choice of a two cabins lower galley plan. The standard plan is a more family orientated three cabin two heads, with galley up. This two cabins layout increases relaxing space on the main deck with a bigger saloon area, and gives the galley a more private feel below. Estensi also points out that the super structure of the 460 Goldstar C is made of a light sandwich construction, which makes the twelve tons dry weight particularly more stable in slower speeds or at anchor, and makes it possible to reach wide open throttle speeds of 32 knots with only twin FPT of 450hp.

Project: Heaven 42 Open

After making it to the global headlines a couple years ago with the launching of the biggest Rib Yacht ever built the 80, Heaven returns with a more normal sized project that of the 42 Open. Taking similar looks from the smaller 34 Cruiser and sitting in between the sportier 40 Open, and 45 Open models, the 42 Open project is a Rib Cruiser which will measure a length of thirteen metres and will be a comfortable hard top cabin boat but with the added security of a rib. Its cockpit layout is in fact more made for cruising with a C-shaped settee aft, two L-shaped wet bars which can be fitted with an optional exterior galley, and a two person seated helm station. The 42 Open lower deck offers a plan with two cabins for a total of four berths, galley, and a shower head layout. As usual the rib benefits are featured in the Heaven 42 Open like that of a fifteen maximum persons capability, and a top speed of 48 knots with the largest option from twin stern drive engines.
