New Model: Nordhavn N120

The Nordhavn 120 hull number one has undergone successful ocean trials and departed the South Coast Marine factory in Xiamen, China on July 12th. The yacht will be delivered by a crew of staff from Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. including Nordhavn’s vice president, Jim Leishman, and Chief of Design, Jeff Leishman. One port of call was scheduled for Hong Kong on July 16th. From there the crossing will take approximately 25 days with an arrival to Vancouver in mid-August. Due to logistics, the sheer mass of the vessel as well as economic factors, it’s been concluded that N120 hull number one will be delivered on her own bottom. With a non-stop range from China to Vancouver running at displacement speed, the decision to “drive” her home was made thoughtfully, however, confidently.  After nearly five years from concept to construction, P.A.E. is thrilled and greatly anticipates the impending unveiling of the Nordhavn 120 at the boat shows in the fall of 2013. Our architecture and design team, together with the craftsmen at South Coast, engineering contractors, the phenomenal interior design staff at Destry Darr and countless vendors have cultivated a world class yacht. At the surface, the N120 is a naval engineering feat; as capable as it is luxurious. But the yacht also proves to be a symbol of P.A.E., persevering at a time when the superyacht market is in a virtual tailspin.

Project: Island Pilot 310

Island Pilot presents the project of an entry level 310, taking a fresh approach in creating a smaller, more affordable, economical, motor cruiser.  Accommodation wise the 310 presents an island double berth in the bow, with a second cabin with an extra-long double berth. Both cabins are in the bow, next to the head. Immediately across from the head is the pantry with additional storage for provisions. The master has a pair of full-height hanging lockers, a bureau to starboard plus shelves and lockers. The main deck saloon has a raised settee to port, efficient galley to starboard, opening side windows and functional helm with instrument cluster. Double sliding polycarbonate doors open to the aft cockpit, combining both spaces to create a large social area. The roomy aft deck has a comfortable L-shaped settee, steps to the side decks and a door opening to the integrated swim platform.  Island Pilot feels that the needs of one cruising couple are not necessarily those of another, that is why the 310 is offered in three different engine set ups suiting explorer go slow, planning speed fans, and semi displacement shafts options. Engines choices start from a single 125hp, go to twin 220hp with line shafts, and end with double stern drives of 300hp.  Top speed is over 30 knots with the more powerful engine choice.

New Model: Jeanneau NC14

Jeanneau NC line has received extremely positive feedback since it first appeared in the market on 2010 with the 11 model.  Prove to this is that the 11 was soon followed by an NC9 in 2012, and now Jeanneau adds it with the new NC14 flagship.  The NC14 is again a design from Garroni who was helped by Jeanneau, and for this model also by British Tony Castro.  The NC14 follows what her smaller sister did before her, a fully enclosed sport cruiser with plenty of live aboard features able to make a long period cruise extremely comfortable.   Prove to this is for example the lazarette located amidships,  which has space for a washing machine, a wine cellar, and a freezer.  The interior layout offers two cabins below, and a choice to have a second guest shower head or this to be replaced with a small office in the owners room and a large walk in wardrobe.  The main deck is a functional affair with a C-shaped saloon, dinette, and to port side, and a dining table for four to port side.  Some nice details making life on-board easier are to be found all around; the sliding door by the helm station to starboard, the fully opening patio aft, sun roof, and nice safe walk deck wider to the right. The Jeanneau NC11 is powered by twin Volvo, from a standard 300hp or optional 370 units with IPS pod drives.

Project: Clipper 28 Hudson Bay

Down-under Clipper Moor Yachts shows the project for a new smallest model the 28 Hudson Bay, a sedan that is hand built and designed in the classic lines resembling cruisers from the fifties, and a bit of lobster looks into it but built to today’s technology, styling and optioned with the latest features.  The 28 Hudson Bay brings the classic lines of yesteryear together with today’s components and fit out. A combination of hand laid fiberglass hull and deck, a choice of classic hull colours, molded hardtop with large overhanging roof, sliding tinted side windows, a sunroof and hand finished Aniegre wood trim and accents.  The 28 Hudson Bay is designed with a generous cabin with two berths, a galley, fridge and separate shower/toilet.  Good thinking is also given to give undercover protection in the cockpit with a double forward facing helm seat that reverses at anchor for relaxing and entertaining, with  seating in the rear, a large over sized swim platform completes the package. The 28 Hudson Bay is powered by a Steyr 144hp diesel electronic engine with shaft drive efficiency.  Launching is scheduled for November 2013.

New Model: Fairline Targa 48 Open

A real nice new model from Fairline this is in small words the new Targa 48 Open.  This new model shows a couple of stints from Fairline, the first is the use of the word Open in the word designation which is something I think we will see more in future large Targa models without a patio door dividing the saloon from the aft deck.  The second is the return of the Volvo IPS pods on a Fairline model.  Fairline had the Targa 44 GT launched to high acclaim in 2007 with Volvo pod drives, only to be made a stern drive boat in the fall of 2009 up until the end of production in 2012.  The Targa 48 Open features a spacious main deck with a traditional layout of an aft sun pad able to accommodate a jet tender just short of three meters, a large C-shaped settee, an L-shaped lounger to port, and a helm station to starboard.  The Targa 48 definitely feels Open, when one for example opens all the electric canvas roof.  Down below the Targa 48 Open comes standard with a two cabins layout; having a full beam owners cabin amidships, and a VIP suite to fore which can become two single berths thanks to its scissor movement.  In between the cabins is a galley to port and an L-shaped saloon to starboard.  In case one opts for the three cabins version the saloon settee is replaced for a twin bunk berths cabin.  Power is twin Volvo 435hp with IPS600 forward looking pod drives.

LOA - 15.38 m (50.5ft)
