Project: Sanloreno 62 Steel

Sanlorenzo, the third shipyard in the world ranking of the top twenty builders over 24 meters announce a new flagship: the 62 Steel, a 203ft superyacht build in steel.  This new Sanlorenzo flagship is a design to Officina Italiana Design, of Maura Micheli following an agreement between the two firms for a full partnership.  An interesting challenge both for Sanlorenzo who are considered as smart looking conservative yachts, to Officina Italian Design who its designs for Riva have been modern and trend setters with branding from this firm which makes them become a classic.  For the 62 Steel, Mauro Micheli presented a three deck super yacht, and follows the usual Sanlorenzo style of being conservative while at the same having that something which never makes it look old.

Born as a 62 Fly project, the Austin Parker 64 completes the range in the upper sizes of this Italian builder.  Second in size only to the Austin Parker 72, the new 64 Fly continues the elaboration of the line as a modern lobster boat, as seen by renowned Italian architect Fulvio de Simoni.  Unlike the smaller models the large Austin Parkers look as much a motor yacht as they do traditional down East lobster boat and this theme is continued in the 64 Fly.  So if you think that some motor yacht have become to modern a tip is to have a look at the large Austin Parkers.  Accommodation the 64 Fly offers three large double cabins, with an owners stateroom located amidships.  The VIP suite located to fore is also very spacious thanks to the angled berth resting on the port sides. A third double cabin and a day head are located in between the two cabins.  A crew cabin with a single berth, shower head, and a desk space is located to amidships in between the owners cabins and the engine room.

Project: Fairline 48 Targa GT

A further evolution of the new Fairline 48 hull, which is powered by IPS pods and is to be offered in three different variants; Targa Open, Targa GT, and Squadron.  The 48 Targa GT is very similar to the Open version, but while at it Fairline tweaked more the coach roof design, extended the hard top even further, and also created new side windows profile.  The main difference between this and the Open is that the main deck is divided in half by a two part patio door making the fore part a more cosy enclosed affair. For the rest the 48 Targa GT is similar to its other sister, with a layout choice of two or three cabins, and also a galley located below.  Power is twin Volvo 435hp with IPS pod drives.
