New Model: Cabo 44 Express

Following on the success of the Cabo 44 Hardtop Express, the famous production sportfish is clever to present a full open version of this the 44 Express, which replaces the long standing 45 model.  With a hull designed by famous underwater lines specialist Michael Peters the main difference between its predecessor is the removal of the hardtop. But this little detail changes the whole concept of this sportfish cruiser, also making it become a more fisherman hardcore machine.  The elevated pod helm station comes standard with two seats with an option of third.  Inside is also the same ingenious interior with a single cabin and a fisherman utility room, or a two cabins choice in between the L-shaped settee and galley.  Power is for four engine choices from twin Cats 710 up to 1150hp, with MAN 800s in between.

Project: Steeler 60 Trawler

At the last of 2012 Steeler Yacht from Holland presented two new projects which aim at more blue cruisers long range customers.  PowerYacht showed the first of these with the 47 Explorer a few days ago, and now we show you the more tug boat looking 60 Trawler.  As the builder name suggests the 60 Trawler will be a steel build featuring a deck and a half, with a raised pilot house and very well protected deep ship standard side deck.  The 60 Trawler is designed by Martin Bekebrede who went for a full displacement hull able to tackle all the seven seas of planet earth.  We have very little details of the interior but the yacht mid three vertical windows suggest the choice of a full beam owners cabin.

New Model: Sarnico 46 Spider GTS

Presented in the fall of 2011, this is the Sarnico 46 Spider GTS.  This new 46 GTS is a further development of the original Spider presented in 2006 designed by such great signatures as Nuvolari and Lenard for the lines and layouts, and Victory Brunello Acampora for the superb underwater shape.  This new larger Spider is again a design of the same renowned designers. As the signature in the name suggests the 46 Spider GTS offers creature comforts and some interesting options to make it more become a cruiser.  These optional are the hardtop as hull one was in fact delivered, and a choice for the exterior cockpit to have it with two sunbeds, or large L-shaped settees.  Inside the 46 Spider GTS is no slough offering two cabins sleeping five, and a well sized shower head.  The midships cabin sleeps three persons having a french double, and single berth to starboard.  Power options are three Cummins engines from 480 up to 700hp with the Italian made innovative Flexidrive surface drive propulsion.  Flexidrive was used by Sarnico first time on its not so long ago presented flagship, and considering this is the new model following it we should see this more in use on future releases from this well respected Italian boat builder.

With its handling, good looks, and versatile cockpit, Windy Boats new 29 Coho sportsboat looks to be one of the show stoppers in this size at the 2013 Düsseldorf Boat Show. The new 29 Coho reaffirms Windy’s new focus on core brand values, with a pared-down, classic profile, a rapier sharp deep-vee hull designed by Hans-Jørgen Johnsen, and a blistering top speed of over 45 knots with the large engine choice. Replacing the popular and long-serving 28 Ghibli in the shipyard’s model range, the new 29 Coho features an extended hull and lengthened bathing platform, with a new cockpit layout that emphasises outdoor living and relaxation. Large rhomboid windows in the topsides let in lots of light down below, where the upgraded accommodation centres on a large, luxuriously finished double berth forward, with a practical head and shower compartment, and a useful and well-equipped galley area by the companionway. Along with the new 26 Kharma and 31 Zonda, the 29 Coho features Windy’s ingenious new canopy design, which can be easily put up by one person in just a few minutes, and is completely hidden when stowed. Like many of its stablemates this new Windy model is named in honour of a wind in this case the cold airstream that blasts down the Columbia River valley in Oregon, which is in turn named after the legendary silver-sided Pacific salmon. The aptly-named Coho is available with single or twin, petrol or diesel sterndrive installations.  Single Volvo 400 or twin 220hp diesel engines, and single 380hp petrol gas are available.
