Project: CRN 62m Dislopen Sport

CRN, the Ferretti Group shipyard and brand, presents a unique megayacht concept which is destined to establish new standards in the international luxury yachting industry.   Dislopen, a range of innovative steel and aluminum boats, which marry the shape and style of a high-performance open boat with the volume and the comfort of a large displacement yacht.  CRN intends for the Dislopen line to develop a new range in leisure boats, that offer a unique way to experience sailing and cruising, offering constant direct contact with the sea through its outdoor areas whilst having even greater onboard comfort and space. This original concept developed from a combination of ideas garnered from CRN’s many years of experience in bespoke Megayachts, as well as the architects Gianni and Paola Zuccon of Studio Zuccon International Project, long-standing partners of the brand and the Ferretti Group. The Dislopen line is born from a combination lines and looks with the 62 Sport project being the first of the models to be shown in rendering.  A further two models of 46 and 52 meters will follow.  The Dislopen range has a sporty look, similar to that of small and medium yachts, but is also able to make longer trips, even across the ocean, and still have the typical comfort of a displacement mega yacht. The Dislopen CRN 62m Sport will have five decks, owner’s, main deck, lower deck, sub deck, the latter is reserved for technical spaces and the galley), on which open areas prevail.  The interior and the exterior layout has been redesigned to obtain simple and functional solutions that exploit each area on board in an original manner.  The Dislopen 62m Sport is powered by twin Caterpillar engines that can reach a cruising speed of 14 knots and a max 15. The ships are classified by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and are MCA compliant.

Project: Riviera 53 Open Flybridge

After launching the Enclosed Flybridge version during the Sanctuary Cove boat show, Riviera presents the project for the 53 Open Flybridge model.  So far no launching date is given for this model, but seeing the success of the enclosed flybridge version I would not think this to be a long wait. The 53 Open Flybridge will feature many of the elements of the enclosed bridge version with some distinctive differences and most of all a more sportfish dedicated layout.  This is shown especially on the flybridge with the helm located to stern for supervising the game fisherman during combat times.  Other differences for this new 53 Open Flybridge are also to be found in the staircase located outside instead of inside as for the enclosed bridge version.  A stylish fixed hardtop covering all the fly is also to be found up top which also features a C-shaped dinette, and wet bar.  Down below the layout continues the spacious plan of the new 53 with a full beam owners stateroom with en-suite head and walkin wardrobe, VIP suite, and twin bunk guest cabin. A crew cabin to midships is also available.  The main deck interior continues the practical layout with an astern galley, and two settees located to fore.  Power is from triple standard Volvo 435hp, and optional twin 900hp, or Cats 1015hp engines.  Propulsion is always coming from pods drives in a triple first generation IPS600, to other options as IPS1200 or ZF aft looking versions coming with the larger engine choices.

New Model: Sunseeker 73 Manhattan

Sunseeker launched the new 73 Manhattan at the January London show.  The 73 Manhattan should be a replacement of the 70 model launched in 2007, and is a bit longer and offers five centimeters more to the beam.  The exterior follows Sunseeker Yacht range heritage with a very large radar arch, and windows characterizing all parts of the interior from the lower cabin area, to the main deck.  Modern amenities complement this model from a fore deck bench settee to a very large all entertainment dedicated flybridge. Below is a four stateroom plan, which surprises for having two VIP cabins to fore and to starboard.  Many choices are available inside from having a more Italian style separate galley on the main deck or open plan version, to a fourth head or utility room.  Another option is that of a three cabin plan which moves the galley to the lower deck.  A two person crew cabin is located aft.  Tender stowage is on an up and down bathing platform with Sunseeker being among the first European builders to offer this back in the days on the 56 Predator. Power is twin MAN 1550hp which can reach top speeds up to 34 knots, and 25 of cruise.  A joystick option for easy manoeuvring is also available.

Project: Jet Tern 30 Serena

After making good market success with its Selene range of trawlers, and following up with the planning Mediterranean looking Artemis range presented in 2009 Jet Tern from China present a new range for a Sport Cruiser boat with the new 30 Serena.  The Serena range was already presented with an open outboard of 22 feet.  But this new 30 Serena project takes things to another level for the Chinese boat builder with a host of Mediterranean looks and concepts.  Accommodation plan for the 30 Serena is for a four berth interior, with galley and separate head.  But interesting is the cockpit deck which features a dinette with two opposite bench seats, L-shaped settee, helm station, and a small wet bar.  Not bad for a boat which measures over all just thirty feet included an extended tender stowing bathing platform.  Standard power is from twin Mercruiser 220hp gas engines which should give a 30 knots top speed.

The IPS propulsion choice of the Mustang 50 Sport Cruiser allows a new lower deck layout with a larger midships located owners stateroom.  The other cabins are located fore for the VIP, and a single guest berth to starboard side.  The main deck has also been redefined now offering a more socialising living area with an astern galley.  Power is from twin Volvo 435hp engines which are propelled with IPS forward looking dual propeller pods
