New Model: Cranchi M35 ST

Cranchi presents the M35 ST, a medium sized hard top sport cruiser based on the hull lines of the 36 Zaffiro.  The M35 ST has been a much waited model from Cranchi, and in fact a hard top 36 Zaffiro was announced a few months after the standard open radar arch model was launched in 2008.  Considering how the demand for this size with hard top has increased Cranchi is late in this regard.  The Cranchi design team while in the works of this new model, also presented a new cockpit design to this model which improves the layout from the 36 Zaffiro.  The entrance to the aft deck on the M35 ST is now moved to port side, and the C-shaped settee is to the opposite and larger. Inside the layout is a copy of the 36 sleeping four plus two in two cabins plus a convertible saloon, with a galley and shower head in the middle.  New large view windows have also been added to the hull side serving the guest cabin to midships.  Power is from twin Volvo 300hp which give a max speed of 34 knots.

Project: Grand Banks 54 Heritage EU

Grand Banks Yachts marked the opening of the world's biggest boat show with an announcement of the newest and biggest model in its iconic Heritage Series lineup, the  54 Heritage EU, a "Europa-style" trawler motoryacht with a powerful blend of luxury, seaworthiness and fine craftsmanship.  This new project will launch in spring of 2012. Like other "new-generation" Heritage models, the 54EU features a modified-V hull designed to achieve better performance at higher speeds, while still delivering solid fuel economy, stable cruising comfort and longer range at displacement speeds.  An expansive main deck provides a very generous amount of living and entertaining space that flows smoothly on one level from its helm back through the galley, dining area and salon, then out to a large cockpit that extends the living area outdoors with its built-in settee and teak dining table.  Up top, an extended flybridge deck boasts plenty of room for family enjoyment, with two settees facing a teak dining table, an optional sun pad with adjustable reclining backs, and plenty of built-in storage with options for a wet bar, ice maker and BBQ. A standard Stidd helm seat sits on the center line before a large flybridge helm console, with a second optional Stidd to starboard. Space aft can hold a four meter tender and the standard davit. A flybridge hardtop is optional.  Down below, the standard lower-deck layout features three staterooms, all generously sized for a 54-foot vessel. The forward VIP cabin with queen-size berth has en-suite access to a head with shower, while a second guest cabin sits to port. The large master stateroom sits amidships with a queen-size berth, abundant closet and drawer storage, and a head with twin sinks and separate shower.  Even more storage plus room for a separate washer, dryer and other optional features can be found in the utility room that sits just aft of the master cabin and forward of the well-designed engine room. This space can, at the owner's option, also be configured as quarters for a crew of two.  On the main deck, dual settees in the salon provide ample seating for lounging or viewing the standard LED television. A well-equipped galley sits comfortably behind the helm and across from an efficient L-shaped dinette, well situated for dining together even when underway.  New for the Heritage Series, the 54EU foredeck features built-in seating around a teak cocktail table, adding yet another gathering space or comfortable hideaway for taking in the sun and air.  The new 54EU is built on the same Grand Banks designed hull as the 53 Aleutian RP, which has garnered worldwide acclaim for its dry and stable handling in rough seas and across a wide range of speeds. Standard twin Cummins 600hp diesel engines can power the 54 Heritage EU to a top speed of over 18 knots, or can cruise at a sedate 8 knots for well over 1100 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel.

New Model: Absolute 40 Fly

Absolute presents the 40 Fly, the entry level model of its flybridge line which was launched last year with the 50 and 43, and so far already features four models.  The Absolute 40 Fly is a very interesting flybridge cruiser featuring a very airy main deck with opening side door, fully open aft patio doors joining the interior saloon to the aft cockpit, and a spacious flybridge which can make bigger boats jealous.  The flybridge motor cruiser also has an up and down hydraulic bathing platform with quite a wide space for a tender.  A note here that there is very few flybridge boats which offer it in this size.  The new Galeon 400 and Azimut 40 come to mind. Below is space for a two cabins both with en-suite, and a galley.  The owners room is to fore, with large view windows to both sides. Power for the Absolute 40 Fly is twin Volvo from 300 up to 370hp in IPS or stern drive propulsion.  For a flybridge I suggest IPS all the way, because if the joystick goes bust it surely would be easier to manoeuvre then with stern drive.

Project: Sasga 32

Sasga who just recently has launched its first model the 42, presents an important entry level project the 32.  Measuring just ten meters in length the Sasga 32 follows the Spanish Llaut fishing boat design, and takes it in style to become a traditional looking cruiser.  The Sasga 32 will offer two separate cabins located below, with a living and galley on the main deck by the pilothouse to starboard side.  Huge view windows characterize the Sasga 32 from the super structure, to the below cabin deck.  Power is from twin 230hp engines, which should give a top speed of 18 knots the slowest of the Sasga range so far, as both the bigger 42 and 54 are capable of 23 knots wide open throttle performance. Cruise is from 16 to 12 knots, reminding that the slower you go the better range to gain, and also better fuel consumption to the nautical mile.

New Model: Jeanneau NC9

One has to admire Jeanneau and the Beneteau Group, who since starting to put more effort in the powerboat sector in 2000, and a success sparkle which came from the 34 Prestige S the French boat building giant has not only increased its offer in the category but also enhanced it in all its global form.  This can be seen in the sport fishing center console line up, more luxury attitude, and lastly in the more Northern cold climate all year usage coming from the NC11 presented more then a year ago.  The NC9 is a follow up to this first model which copies the intelligent function as offered by the bigger 11 in a smaller more affordable package.  What is sure is although it measures over one meter less the NC9 does not offer much less in terms of comfort, having the same clever albeit a bit smaller two cabin design.  The NC9 which is again a design of Italy Garroni responsible not only for the NC, but also for the Jeanneau Leader line, and Prestige models also features intelligent solution to improve space in a dedicated area like the sliding aft sliding settee in the cockpit, fully opening patio door, side helm door, and moving saloon.  Power and here is again my sad note for the NC9 is from a single Volvo 260hp.  Twin power would surely have made the NC9 itching to a wider cruising boat audience, but may be this would have also affected sales to the NC11.

Improve-it = Cigarette 39 Top Gun Unlimited

Ciagarette presented itself at the Fort Lauderdale show with an improved 39 Top Gun Unlimited, an evolution of this model featuring a new top deck profile, engine hatch redesign, enhanced cockpit fittings, and more powerful engine package.  The 39 Top Gun Unlimited in fact will be powered with staggered Mercury Racing 700's and NXT drives, kicking speed up a notch. Its Mercury Racing and Garmen instrumentation stand out on a black carbon fiber dash, and the full billet package includes speaker covers, foot boards, bolster bases, swim platform and fender holders.  The striking paint design of the first model of the improved 39 Top Gun Unlimited combined matte black, bright blue and lipstick red accents on shimmering pearl white to make a sleek silhouette and a classic Cigarette. The sharp black and white Daytona style interior show Cigarette's unrelenting attention to detail; white on white double stitching and design accents in the cockpit are carried into the "Cover Girl" cabin.  The new engine hatch design is another Cigarette statement on performance. Expanding the air-intake and cooling of the higher horsepower engines inspired this hatch which includes two, 3-D stainless steel, machined panels, framing a sizable sun pad with added stainless screens for a unique flair. While acting as an air-induction system, these panels add a touch to the revamped 39 Top Gun Unlimited and maybe even a little "Tail of the Dragon" feel as the boat achieves triple-digit speeds with ease.
