Project: Hardy 50DS

Following on from the successful launch of the Hardy 40DS at the London Boat Show 2014, this British builder is proud to announce the project of the Hardy 50DS. Using similar profiles lines as the 40DS, renowned Hardy Designer Andrew Wolstenholme has again created a tremendously striking explorer yacht. With the hull based upon the 50, Hardy have once again been uncompromising when it comes to sea keeping, retaining its core values of building seaworthy boats that are meant to keep safe, secure and confident when the weather gets heavy. Unlike her smaller sister the 50DS will have twin engines as standard with 800hp MAN being the power of choices and pushing speeds of 27 to thirty knots. Different engine options will be available for those owners who wish to achieve a longer range at more modest speeds. As has been proven in the past the Hardy exterior styling will appeal to motor boats men as well as the sailing yachtsmen reverting to power. A flybridge option versions will be offered as an option. The interior styling has once again been created and styled by award winning stylist Chris Lock of CSL Yacht Design with whom Windboats have enjoyed a solid working relationship for many years.  This would be the third Hardy project for Chris having styled the interior of the 40DS and a new bespoke interior for a client’s new 42. For the 50DS Chris has designed a three cabin arrangement, comprising two twins and a double with twin heads. One of the heads will act as a day head and an en-suite for one of the twins. The saloon incorporates a single level seating and dining area capable of accommodating eight guests in comfort. On the port side of the saloon are ample lockers that will also house a drop down TV system if required.  Foldaway glass doors at the aft end of the saloon open up into a large cockpit area which once opened create a vast saloon for entertaining. At the forward end of the saloon is the galley and helm area. The galley is situated to starboard and additional seating on the port side. Alternatively this can be modified for additional work surfaces or lockers.  A pair of suspension seats are supplied at the helm and navigation area for comfort at sea. On the starboard side, forward of the galley, is a sliding access door to the side decks. Interior styling and the choice of timbers and colors may be modified to suite owners personal choices.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SD112

Two years after the first plans for this new model were began, Sanlorenzo has just launched “O”, the first SD112 unit a 33 meter semi-displacement super yacht in composite material, made to measure according to the tastes and the style of her owner, like every Sanlorenzo since 1958. After the recent launch of the astounding SL118, 37 meter planning hull presented at Rapallo during the Sanlorenzo Elite Days, the SD112 made her first sea debut. The launch ceremony was attended by her owner who came from the Central America with his family and friends to celebrate the important event along with everyone from Sanlorenzo that contributed in her construction. The SD112 was built to enhance the historic Sanlorenzo semi-displacement fiberglass line named SD, with a model that position itself neatly between the two existing models SD92 and SD122, so as to complete the SD range and to offer a product that provides the best aspects of both. The experience gained by Sanlorenzo with the more than 30 SD models launched, allowed the shipyard to plan a flawless design. As a testimony to a great balance achieved with the SD112 model in terms of design, volume and performance, as of today six SD112 units have already been sold, even before the official launch of “O” and the next three hulls are in an advanced stage of production. Though maintaining the unmistakable features of the SD range, such as the curved doors on the sides and the lateral window shape, the SD112 offers innovative solutions like the fold-able terraces in the salon area that open out seawards and the door which connect the huge cockpit to the salon that, once completely opened creates one unique living area between outdoors and indoors. The superstructure has three decks, but thanks to a series of stylish design innovations it has the slim line appearance of a two deck yacht. The sundeck is very roomy and “O” even accommodates a large Jacuzzi, totally surrounded by sunbeds, while the unmistakable Sanlorenzo SD “funnel” brings to mind the thirties transatlantic liners. “O”’s interior design are completely chosen by her owner, in a modern style incorporating prestigious Made in Italy brands, like Edra, Minotti and Paola Lenti sofas, Enzo degli Angioni fabrics and Penelope Oggi leathers. The Tanganyika walnut teak placed on the cockpit ceiling is original and unique, as is the artistic covering in resin and metal used on the shutters of the large salon wardrobe: an authentic piece of art by Italian studio ORK. The main deck, besides the salon, also permits a sumptuous owner’s cabin that dominates the bow area while the lower deck can host another four guests cabins and the crew quarter with seven beds.

New Model: Jaguar Catamaran JC48 Flybridge

These are exciting times over at Jaguar Catamarans, who after announcing its ambitious project in 2013, start the first quarter of 2014 by launching its first model the JC48 Flybridge. A first model launch from a new brand is always something special, and while the people behind Jaguar have long standing experience in the marine industry I am sure this had a unique significance to them. The standard layout of the Jaguar Catamarans JC48 Flybridge offers loads of spaces and three double cabins all with private en-suite shower heads layout. The owners stateroom is a medium level and full beam located to fore, which make best use of the six meters width available. Truth is you would need to go much larger to find the same space in an owners room. Jaguar is also offering a more charter friendly or big family four cabins version, but so far no layout are shown for this. The living always a strong point of catamarans for the spaces offered, in the JC48 is also very spacious, with a helm station located to starboard followed by a dinette, while opposite to port side on entrance we have an astern galley serving easily both saloon and aft deck, and a relaxing passenger sofa forward. Estimated performance figures are also interesting considering the not so large engines of the JC48, with top speeds estimates standing at 20 knots from the standard Yanmar 260hp, and going up an extra five nautical miles per hour with the optional 370hp units.   

Technical Data:

LOA - 14.47 m (47.4ft) inc pulpit

Hull Length - 14.4 m

Waterline Length - 13.7 m

Beam - 6.82 m

Displacement - 20 t half load and approximate

Fuel Capacity - 1500 l

Water Capacity - 500 l

Accommodation - 6 berths in 3 cabins, or 8 berths in 4 cabins

Speed - 20 knots max with 260hp, 25 knots max with 370hp estimates

Project: Dyna 58

Dyna from Taiwan showcases the 58 project, an interesting flybridge motor yacht of European inspiration looks and layout. In this very competitive segment, mostly coming from European boat builders, the 58 is an interesting three double cabins motor yacht with a large full beam owners cabin amidships, and a master bed looking to port side. To fore we have a VIP suite, and a twin double berth third cabin is located to starboard. A single berth crew cabin with shower head is aft. Measuring over nineteen meters, the Dyna 58 gives more then its model identity suggests, and this gain of space seems to show in its main deck and flybridge. The interior main deck features a traditional two step split level layout with a middle located galley, and an entrance with a large C-shaped sofa. The flybridge looks also a spacious affair and features a G-shape dinette to aft, with the helm to starboard, and a passengers L-shaped settee opposite. For the Dyna 58 power would be a bit my concern with 600hp Cummins engines seeming on the small side for a 63 feet over all motor yacht, with a planning Vee shape hull, and a weight of 28 tons. So far Dyna seem also not to offer other power options.

Paolo Caliari 1932 - 2014

Remembering Paolo Caliari also known as the father of Mediterranean yacht design who left for the better World on Sunday 13 April 2014.  Born in 1932 Paolo Caliari becomes a World renowned yacht designer who contributed not only to the birth of the so called Italian Mediterranean style of yachting, but is considered as one of the fathers of contemporary style.  He played a pioneer role in shaping yacht design as is known today, understood as a combination of knowledge, skills and processes, which are organized around technological research.  Paolo Caliari is the designer of many legandary boats mostly characterizing a combination of both aggressive forms and clear, elegant straight lines.  In his career Paolo has worked for a whose who list in the global yachting industry from the sixties till the nineties for such names as Alalunga, Arno, Baglietto, Denison, Donzi, Esterel, Intermarine, Mochi, Picchioti Proteksan, Roscioli, Sanlorenzo, Tecnomarine, Wellcraft, and Vosper.  One of his longest standing collaboration came with Cantieri Navali dell Arno and its Leopard range which started in the seventies and continued till near the end of his career.  Arno Leopard made a special hit with the mid eighties started important 20m model, at that time the largest open sport yacht which made school and over the years morphed in a series of models including the popular 27.  Paolo Caliari best selling design was the Tecnomarine C42 which started production in 1973 and lasted till 1986 and sold over one hundred units.  Caliari at some points in his career also had a brand of his own with the Caliari Yacht offshoot produced in collaboration with Mochi in the late eighties and early nineties. Worth to note that some of the famous Italian Yacht designers and naval architects who will make hit over the years also started as assistants in his studio; Aldo Cichero, Andrea Basicalupo, Anna and Franco Dellarolle, and last but not least his son Pier Luigi Caliari who with assistance from father Paolo and collaborators Carlo Donati and Carola Gentilini founded the Caliari Architects Yacht Design in 2010.

Project: Canados Oceanic 120 DiElec

It's been an important start for 2014 since Canadoes announced its new expedition Oceanic range, selling and currently building two of the six vessels available. The Oceanic 120 sits in the middle of the range and is a high tech composite construction. Powered by twin MTU 2600hp and twin Auxilia 120 kW electric engines, the DiElec short term for diesel electric can achieve a top speed of 23-knots. But that’s not her most impressive attribute, when cruising at 8-knots on her electric engine the 120 DiElec’s ridiculously low fuel consumption figures have to be seen to be believed. As with all models across the Oceanic range, the entire upper deck is devoted to the owner’s suite. On the lower deck four additional cabins accommodate guests in considerable comfort. Stowed in the Oceanic 120 DiElec’s central garage is a 6.5m tender and a jet ski, while the aft garage can store two additional jet skis. With flexibility typical of the Oceanic philosophy, the 120 DiElec can also be designed with on-deck tender stowage, providing the opportunity to utilize the garage space as an over-sized beach club.
