The MY100 is the smallest model of the Menorquin Yachts range and here we see a complete reconfiguration of the interior spaces, most prominently in the wheelhouse, to which the galley and the dinette have been relocated on the main deck. The exterior of the new MY100 also presents a renovated design, which is distinguished by the more stylized shape of the hardtop, which is shorter than in other models of this range and complemented by the awning the shipyard includes in its standard equipment. The MY100 2011 edition is over ten meters long and can sleep up to six, divided in a two plus four layout. Maximum capacity during navigation is for up to ten people as certified by CE rules. Power is for twin engines from Volvo, Cummins and Yanmar, in traditional line shaft propulsion.

Project: Tiara 3100 Coronet

Tiara Yachts is proud to introduce the project of the 3100 Coronet. This new sport cruiser is derived from the successful 2900 Coronet in look and design terms. But don't be mistaken, the 3100 Coronet will incorporate a new hull and deck design that enhances day boating, with a comfortable cabin for short term overnight for two. The cabin finished in teak will also feature a small separate shower head, and medium sized L-shaped galley. Standard model features will be a fresh white gel coat hull and deck, Imron Platinum boot line, Tiara custom composite windshield frame with tempered safety glass and center vent, fiberglass radar arch, swim platform with built-in ladder, molded-in fiberglass bow pulpit, Tiara custom diamond pattern non-skid, and two tone exterior vinyl with Coronet embroidery stitch. The over sized cockpit for a boat measuring ten meters overall, follows latest trends of a single level from helm to transom, with ample seating, including double wide helm seat, curved companion lounge, two aft-facing seats, and port and starboard aft L-lounges. An entertainment center with TV jack, electric grill, sink and drawer refrigerator is immediately aft of the helm seat. The 3100 Coronet also features some unique options; canvas soft top, fiber glass hardtop, and a teak accent package. One can also customize the color of his 3100 Coronet from the hull, boot line, dash, and three choices in interior fabrics. Power is the only negative part of the 3100 Coronet project available only with twin line shaft propulsion Crusader 375hp petrol gas engines which give a 35 knots top speed, and a 30 knots cruise. Here's hoping that a diesel choice will be available, what will make the 3100 Coronet more interesting for the European market, but also for those who cruise further to the usual in the USA. www.tiarayachts.com

New Model: Nord West 430 Sport

Thanks again to Nord West we are again proud to present the exclusive preview of the 430 Sport. This new model was presented together with the 430 SportsTop at the Gothenburg boat show, and as with the smaller 370 of the same designation we see Nord West again challenging itself to a more Mediterranean type design, which is also very much appreciated up North in colder climates. The 430 Sport is identical minus the hard top to the SportsTop version, same choices of three different layouts below which can sleep from four up to six in two or three cabins, and stern drive or IPS pod propulsion. An owner choosing the Nord West 430 has a total of eight choices including the important between an open environment which can be closed with a canopy, or a more enclosed hard top choice which makes it easier to use all year round even when the weather doest not look good. To be honest if I had this choice in my hands I would still be confused between the two new Nord West 430 as both look awesomely beautiful with the open version looking that extra bit sexy and sportier. Powering the 430 Sport which has the Benny Martinsson multi prized series four hull as used for the 420 Flybridge is Volvo Swedish engines with a standard twin 370hp stern drive propulsion, and going up to an optional 435hp and IPS pods.

Project: Austin Parker AP54 Fly

After returning back to the market in 2009, and showing more strength in 2010 with the presentation of three new models Austin Parker opens 2011 with the presentation of the AP54 Fly project. This traditional yacht if these two words actually can describe any Austin Parker is based on the latest new model of the 2010 season, the AP52 Open. As all Austin Parker's the AP54 Fly is designed by Fulvio De Simoni Italproject team who presents traditional down East lobster lines, but with a modern Italian take on the overall concept. I am sure that in no history photos of a down East lobster boat you will find any large glassed windows in the cabins, or a bathing platform for that manner. But for a yacht giving panache and class the lobster touch surely makes everything look elegant with the appreciated timeless attitude and this is basically the success that characterizes these type of yachts. Inside of the AP54 Fly we see the layout of the 52 Open offering three double cabins with two bathrooms, large lounge, separate galley, crew cabin with head, and tender garage aft. The owners room while located to fore gives a space similar to that of a mid ship layout as in fact the AP54 has its maximum beam in this area. Performance is a top speed of 34 knots max coming from twin 900hp MAN engines.

Now the Carolina boat builder follows it with a second model the new GT54 which will launch officially today at the Miami show. The new GT54 is based on the hull lines of the 54 Convertible which was already rated as one of the most seaworthy sport fish in her size, but a lot has changed from the water line above in this new model, which also has a new shear line and modified super structure design. Inside the new GT54 also offers more room with two interior plan choices, sleeping six or seven berths in a three cabins with two heads lower deck. The changes here occur in the VIP cabin to fore offered in a standard queen double bed, or optional three berth; two plus one layout. Worth to note is also the saloon on the main deck, which is now a flush floor plan offering two L-shaped sofas, and galley. Power for the Hatteras GT54 is a standard of two Cats 1150hp, or optional 1600hp. This last choice delivers a fast 41 knots top speed, which also makes the GT54 the fastest and most nimble performer in this new Hatteras line.

Vicem Yachts from Turkey opens 2011 with the presentation of a new worldwide debut of its third line of yachts: the Vanguard Line. This new line has important features to it and will start up with the above rendering shown 45 Vanguard project, which is set to launch this year. A 33 Vanguard will follow the 45. As has been shown by Vicem in the past, the 45 Vanguard features blend of timeless elegance, performing naval architecture and state of the art production technology. The Vanguard is indeed designed by Vicem own design department styling for the exterior and the interior, while the hull and naval architecture were developed by legendary naval architect Michael Peters who here presents a twenty degrees deep Vee dead rise hull. An aggressive yet clean lined design that combines wood elements that typify the classic Vicem style with new color palettes of grey, silver and blue. Accommodation for the 45 Vanguard is still very much comfortable both inside and outside. The interior offers two cabins; one forward and second to midships, head, separate shower room, and a comfortable galley. The comfortable med style exterior offers an large aft sun pad, L-shaped settee, L-shaped lounger, and helm station. An extraordinarily daring design but intimately tied to incomparably high quality hull construction, thanks to the use of infused epoxy resins. SP Systems and Hi Modulus; B3 Smart Pac were chosen by Vicem Yachts to develop a production package using six different kinds of cores for each hull. Standard power package of the 45 Vanguard is Volvo IPS 600 which give 34 knots of top speed. In alternative is a more powerful choice of twin MAN 800hp engines coupled with Arneson Surface Drive transmissions, which sets speeds at over 50 knots.

Project: Ferretti Custom Line 33 Navetta Crescendo

Ferretti Custom Line presents its latest project, the 33 Navetta Crescendo. Rising as is Crescendo in English is the new evolution of Ferretti Custom Line’s semi-displacement range, and evokes the universe of classical music, entering the sphere of Italian culture and style. Quality, artisan features, sophisticated harmony, elegance and balance are the basic values of Crescendo, which is a natural evolution of the previous 33 Navetta of the semi-displacement line. As is common in the Ferretti Custom Line range, 33 Navetta Crescendo is the result of the close working relationship between Studio Zuccon International Project, Advanced Yacht Technology the Ferretti Group’s naval research and design centre, and the team of architects and designers of Centro Stile, who here present classical external lines which blend harmoniously with the contemporary interior design which can be personalised entirely according to the owner’s choices. On 33 Navetta Crescendo, as indeed on the entire Ferretti Custom Line range, all details which are not structural like, for example, furnishings, fabrics and décor, can be customized according to owners’ preferences. Aided by the Centro Stile architects and designers, they can develop their own, tailor-made yacht, choosing from a selection of proposals by top Italian and international companies. Natural light which filters through large windows illuminates the spacious interiors of the 33 Navetta Crescendo which also stands out in this segment for her three full decks, which are integrated into the line of the yacht. One new feature, compared with the previous model, is also a large sundeck. There is also a number of important design solutions; more direct contact with the sea, large salon on the main deck which features a dining area, reduction of visual physical barriers blocking the view of the sea to a minimum, owner suite in a privileged position at bow on the main deck, separation of the guest and crew flows through dedicated crew area from the galley, four spacious guest cabins on the lower deck all with large open view windows overlooking the sea with the opportunity to separate the beds which turns a double room into a twin, large highly versatile upper deck thanks to the system of circular sliding doors with a dining area in a position of complete privacy, and a new sundeck which features a small swimming-pool and sunbathing area.
